Genesis 24:1-16

1

And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.

2

And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

3

And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:

4

But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.

5

And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?

6

And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.

7

The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.

8

And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.

9

And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.

10

And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.

11

And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.

12

And he said O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.

13

Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:

14

And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.

15

And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.

16

And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

Deuteronomy 7:1-13

1

When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;

2

And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:

3

Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.

4

For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.

5

But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.

6

For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

7

The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:

8

But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

9

Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

10

And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.

11

Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.

12

Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:

13

And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

Psalms 105:1-15

1

O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

2

Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

3

Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

4

Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

5

Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

6

O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.

7

He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

8

He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

9

Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

10

And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

11

Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

12

When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

13

When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;

14

He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

15

Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

Matthew 14:1-10

1

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

2

And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

3

For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

4

For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

5

And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

6

But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

7

Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.

8

And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.

9

And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.

10

And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

Matthew 26:59-75

59

Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

60

But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

61

And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

62

And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

63

But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

64

Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

65

Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.

66

What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

67

Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,

68

Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?

69

Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.

70

But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

71

And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.

72

And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.

73

And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.

74

Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

75

And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

Hebrews 6:10-20

10

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

11

And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:

12

That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

13

For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,

14

Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

15

And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

16

For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

17

Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:

18

That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

19

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

20

Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Hebrews 7:14-28

14

For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

15

And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,

16

Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

17

For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

18

For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

19

For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

20

And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:

21

(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

22

By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

23

And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:

24

But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

25

Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

26

For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

27

Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

28

For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

James 5:1-12

1

Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

2

Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

3

Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

4

Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

5

Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

6

Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

7

Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

8

Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

9

Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.

10

Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

11

Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

12

But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

James 5:1-12
