- 7
- Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
- 8
- Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.
- 9
- And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

- 15
- Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
- 16
- But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

- 18
- Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
- 19
- Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

- 1
- Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
- 2
- Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
- 3
- Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
- 4
- If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
- 5
- I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
- 6
- But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
- 7
- Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
- 8
- Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
- 9
- Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
- 10
- Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

- 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
- Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
- 2
- Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
- 3
- But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
- 4
- Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
- 5
- But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
- 6
- For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
- 7
- For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
- 8
- For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
- 9
- Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
- 10
- For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
- 11
- Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
- 12
- For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
- 13
- Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
- 14
- Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
- 15
- But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

- But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
- 17
- Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
- 18
- For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
- 19
- For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
- 20
- When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
- 21
- For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
- 22
- What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
- 23
- For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
- 24
- And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
- 25
- After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
- 26
- For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
- 27
- Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
- 28
- But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
- 29
- For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
- 30
- For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
- 31
- For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
- 32
- But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
- 33
- Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
- 34
- And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

1 Corinthians 14:1-40
- 1
- Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
- 2
- For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
- 3
- But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
- 4
- He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
- 5
- I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
- 6
- Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
- 7
- And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
- 8
- For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
- 9
- So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
- 10
- There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
- 11
- Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
- 12
- Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
- 13
- Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
- 14
- For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
- 15
- What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
- 16
- Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
- 17
- For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
- 18
- I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
- 19
- Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
- 20
- Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
- 21
- In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
- 22
- Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
- 23
- If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
- 24
- But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
- 25
- And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.
- 26
- How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
- 27
- If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret.
- 28
- But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
- 29
- Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
- 30
- If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
- 31
- For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
- 32
- And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
- 33
- For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
- 34
- Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
- 35
- And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
- 36
- What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
- 37
- If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
- 38
- But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
- 39
- Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
- 40
- Let all things be done decently and in order.

- 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.

- 1
- Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
- 2
- How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
- 3
- For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
- 4
- Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
- 5
- And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
- 6
- Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
- 7
- Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
- 8
- I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
- 9
- For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
- 10
- And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
- 11
- Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have.
- 12
- For it there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.
- 13
- For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened:
- 14
- But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality:
- 15
- As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack.
- 16
- But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of Titus for you.
- 17
- For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more forward, of his own accord he went unto you.
- 18
- And we have sent with him the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
- 19
- And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind:
- 20
- Avoiding this, that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered by us:
- 21
- Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.
- 22
- And we have sent with them our brother, whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.
- 23
- Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.
- 24
- Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.

- 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.

- Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
- 10
- That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
- 11
- In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
- 12
- That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
- 13
- In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
- 14
- Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
- 15
- Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,
- 16
- Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
- 17
- That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

- 3
- How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
- 4
- Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
- 5
- Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

- That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
- 7
- Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.
- 8
- Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
- 9
- And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

- Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

- And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
- 3
- But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
- 4
- Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
- 5
- For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
- 6
- Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
- 7
- Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
- 8
- For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
- 9
- (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
- 10
- Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
- 11
- And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
- 12
- For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

- That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

- 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.

- 1
- This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
- 2
- A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
- 3
- Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
- 4
- One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
- 5
- (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
- 6
- Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
- 7
- Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
- 8
- Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;
- 9
- Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.
- 10
- And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
- 11
- Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
- 12
- Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
- 13
- For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
- 14
- These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
- 15
- But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
- 16

1 Timothy 5:1-25
- 1
- Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;
- 2
- The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.
- 3
- Honour widows that are widows indeed.
- 4
- But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God.
- 5
- Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.
- 6
- But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth.
- 7
- And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless.
- 8
- But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.
- 9
- Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man.
- 10
- Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
- 11
- But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;
- 12
- Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.
- 13
- And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not.
- 14
- I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
- 15
- For some are already turned aside after Satan.
- 16
- If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed.
- 17
- Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
- 18

- 19
- Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
- 20
- Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
- 21
- I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.
- 22
- Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.
- 23
- Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
- 24
- Some men's sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.
- 25
- Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

Hebrews 2:1-18
- 1
- Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.
- 2
- For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;
- 3
- How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
- 4
- God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will?
- 5
- For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
- 6
- But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him?
- 7
- Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
- 8
- Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
- 9
- But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
- 10
- For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
- 11
- For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
- 12
- Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
- 13
- And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.
- 14
- Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
- 15
- And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
- 16
- For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
- 17
- Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
- 18
- For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
