Deuteronomy 30:1-14

1

And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,

2

And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;

3

That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.

4

If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:

5

And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

6

And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

7

And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.

8

And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.

9

And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:

10

If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

11

For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.

12

It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

13

Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

14

But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

Psalms 7:1-17

1

O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

2

Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

3

O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

4

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

5

Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

6

Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

7

So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

8

The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

9

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

10

My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

11

God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

12

If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

13

He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

14

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

15

He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

16

His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

17

I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

Psalms 10:1-18

1

Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

2

The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

3

For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

4

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

5

His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

6

He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

7

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

8

He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.

9

He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

10

He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

11

He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

12

Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

13

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

14

Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

15

Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

16

The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

17

LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

18

To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

Psalms 35:1-28

1

Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.

2

Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.

3

Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

4

Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.

5

Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.

6

Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.

7

For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.

8

Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.

9

And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.

10

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

11

False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.

12

They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.

13

But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

14

I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

15

But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:

16

With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

17

Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.

18

I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.

19

Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

20

For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.

21

Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

22

This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

23

Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.

24

Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.

25

Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

26

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.

27

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

28

And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.

Psalms 69:16-36

16

Hear me, O LORD; for thy lovingkindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.

17

And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

18

Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.

19

Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before thee.

20

Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.

21

They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

22

Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.

23

Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.

24

Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.

25

Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.

26

For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded.

27

Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.

28

Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.

29

But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.

30

I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.

31

This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs.

32

The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.

33

For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.

34

Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.

35

For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.

36

The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

Psalms 83:1-18

1

Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.

2

For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

3

They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

4

They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.

5

For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

6

The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

7

Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8

Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

9

Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:

10

Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.

11

Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

12

Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

13

O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.

14

As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;

15

So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.

16

Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.

17

Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

18

That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.

81

My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.

82

Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

83

For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.

84

How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

85

The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.

86

All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.

87

They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.

88

Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.

89

For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

90

Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

91

They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.

92

Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

93

I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.

94

I am thine, save me: for I have sought thy precepts.

95

The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.

96

I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.

97

O how I love thy law! it is my meditation all the day.

98

Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.

99

I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.

100

I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.

101

I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.

102

I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.

103

How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

104

Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

105

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

106

I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.

107

I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word.

108

Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.

109

My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.

110

The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.

111

Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

112

I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.

Psalms 142:1-7

1

I cried unto the LORD with my voice; with my voice unto the LORD did I make my supplication.

2

I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble.

3

When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me.

4

I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.

5

I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.

6

Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

7

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

Psalms 143:1-12

1

Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.

2

And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

3

For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

4

Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

5

I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands.

6

I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Selah.

7

Hear me speedily, O LORD: my spirit faileth: hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.

8

Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee.

9

Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

10

Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness.

11

Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble.

15

O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.

16

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

17

I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.

18

Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail?

19

Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them.

20

And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.

Lamentations 3:39-66

39

Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?

40

Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.

41

Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.

42

We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.

43

Thou hast covered with anger, and persecuted us: thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.

44

Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.

45

Thou hast made us as the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the people.

46

All our enemies have opened their mouths against us.

47

Fear and a snare is come upon us, desolation and destruction.

48

Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

49

Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission.

50

Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.

51

Mine eye affecteth mine heart because of all the daughters of my city.

52

Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.

53

They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and cast a stone upon me.

54

Waters flowed over mine head; then I said, I am cut off.

55

I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the low dungeon.

56

Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.

57

Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.

58

O LORD, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.

59

O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.

60

Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me.

61

Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me;

62

The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.

63

Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.

64

Render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.

65

Give them sorrow of heart, thy curse unto them.

66

Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the LORD.

Matthew 5:1-20

1

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

2

And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

3

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8

Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

13

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

14

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

17

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19

Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 5:38-48

38

Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

39

But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

40

And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.

41

And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

42

Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

43

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45

That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46

For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

48

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Matthew 10:16-42

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.

24

The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.

25

It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

26

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

27

What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

28

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

29

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

30

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31

Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

32

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

33

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

34

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

35

For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

36

And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

37

He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

38

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

39

He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

40

He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

41

He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

42

And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

Matthew 13:1-23

1

The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side.

2

And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

3

And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;

4

And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:

5

Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:

6

And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.

7

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

8

But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

9

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

10

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

11

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

12

For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.

13

Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.

14

And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:

15

For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

16

But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

17

For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

18

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

19

When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

20

But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;

21

Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.

22

He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

23

But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

29

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

30

And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

31

Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

32

Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

33

Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

34

Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

35

That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

36

Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

37

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

38

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

39

For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Mark 4:1-25

1

And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

2

And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,

3

Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:

4

And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.

5

And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:

6

But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.

7

And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

8

And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.

9

And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

10

And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

11

And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

12

That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

13

And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?

14

The sower soweth the word.

15

And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.

16

And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness;

17

And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

18

And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,

19

And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

20

And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

21

And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?

22

For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.

23

If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

24

And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.

25

For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.

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 21:1-28

1

And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury.

2

And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites.

3

And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:

4

For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

5

And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,

6

As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

7

And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?

8

And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

9

But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

10

Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

11

And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

12

But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

13

And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

14

Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

15

For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

16

And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

17

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

18

But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

19

In your patience possess ye your souls.

20

And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

21

Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

22

For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

23

But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

24

And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

25

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26

Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

27

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

John 5:1-18

1

After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2

Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

3

In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

4

For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

5

And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.

6

When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

7

The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.

8

Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

9

And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

10

The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.

11

He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.

12

Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13

And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

14

Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

15

The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.

16

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

17

But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

18

Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

John 15:12-27

12

This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

13

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14

Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

16

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

17

These things I command you, that ye love one another.

18

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

20

Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

21

But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.

22

If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.

23

He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

24

If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

25

But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

26

But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

27

And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

Acts 7:44-60

44

Our fathers had the tabernacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto Moses, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen.

45

Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;

46

Who found favour before God, and desired to find a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

47

But Solomon built him an house.

48

Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet,

49

Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?

50

Hath not my hand made all these things?

51

Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.

52

Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:

53

Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

54

When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

55

But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

56

And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.

57

Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,

58

And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.

59

And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.

60

And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

34

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

35

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36

As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37

Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 12:1-21

1

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

2

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

3

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

4

For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:

5

So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

6

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;

7

Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;

8

Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

9

Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

10

Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

11

Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;

12

Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;

13

Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.

14

Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.

15

Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.

16

Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.

17

Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

18

If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

19

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

20

Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

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.

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 4:1-18

1

Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;

2

But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

3

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

4

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

5

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

6

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

7

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

8

We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

9

Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;

10

Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.

11

For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.

12

So then death worketh in us, but life in you.

13

We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;

14

Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.

15

For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.

16

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

17

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

18

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Galatians 1:6-24

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 Timothy 1:3-17

3

As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,

4

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

5

Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:

6

From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;

7

Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

8

But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;

9

Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

10

For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

11

According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.

12

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

13

Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

14

And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

15

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

16

Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

17

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

2 Timothy 3:1-17

1

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3

Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4

Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5

Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

6

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

7

Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

8

Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

9

But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.

10

But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,

11

Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.

12

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

13

But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

14

But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

15

And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17

That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Revelation 12:1-17

1

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

2

And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

3

And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

4

And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

5

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

6

And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

7

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8

And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

10

And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

11

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

12

Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

13

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

14

And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

15

And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

16

And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

17

And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
