MATTHEW
4/17: From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
5/18: 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.
5/21: Ye have heard that it was said
by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall
be in danger of the judgment:
22: But I say unto you, That whosoever
is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment:
and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the
council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell
fire.
23: Therefore if thou bring thy gift
to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against
thee;
24: Leave there thy gift before the
altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come
and offer thy gift.
25: Agree with thine adversary quickly,
whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver
thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou
be cast into prison.
26: Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt
by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
5/33: Again, ye have heard that it hath
been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt
perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
34: But I say unto you, Swear not at
all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35: Nor by the earth; for it is his
footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
36: Neither shalt thou swear by thy
head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
37: But let your communication be,
Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
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 cloke 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.
6/1: Take heed that ye do not your alms
before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father
which is in heaven.
2: Therefore when thou doest thine
alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues
and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto
you, They have their reward.
3: But when thou doest alms, let not
thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4: That thine alms may be in secret:
and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5: And when thou prayest, thou shalt
not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues
and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily
I say unto you, They have their reward.
6: But thou, when thou prayest, enter
into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which
is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7: But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions,
as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much
speaking.
8: Be not ye therefore like unto them:
for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
6/14: For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
6/16: Moreover when ye fast, be not,
as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces,
that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have
their reward.
17: But thou, when thou fastest, anoint
thine head, and wash thy face;
18: That thou appear not unto men to
fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth
in secret, shall reward thee openly.
6/33: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
7/1: Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2: For with what judgment ye judge,
ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured
to you again.
3: And why beholdest thou the mote
that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine
own eye?
4: Or how wilt thou say to thy brother,
Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine
own eye?
5: Thou hypocrite, first cast out the
beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out
the mote out of thy brother's eye.
7/12: Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
7/21: Not every one that saith unto
me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth
the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22: Many will say to me in that day,
Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast
out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23: And then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
8/5: And when Jesus was entered into
Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
6: And saying, Lord, my servant lieth
at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
7: And Jesus saith unto him, I will
come and heal him.
8: The centurion answered and said,
Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak
the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
9: For I am a man under authority,
having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and
to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth
it.
10: When Jesus heard it, he marvelled,
and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found
so great faith, no, not in Israel.
11: And I say unto you, That many shall
come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac,
and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
12: But the children of the kingdom
shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing
of teeth.
13: And Jesus said unto the centurion,
Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his
servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
10/26: 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.
10/32: 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.
10/37: 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.
10/40: 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.
12/41: The men of Nineveh shall rise
in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented
at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
42: The queen of the south shall rise
up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she
came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon;
and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
13/24: Another parable put he forth
unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed
good seed in his field:
25: But while men slept, his enemy
came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
26: But when the blade was sprung up,
and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27: So the servants of the householder
came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field?
from whence then hath it tares?
28: He said unto them, An enemy hath
done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather
them up?
29: But he said, Nay; lest while ye
gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30: Let both grow together until the
harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye
together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather
the wheat into my barn.
13/37: He answered and said unto them,
He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
38: The field is the world; the good
seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of
the wicked one;
39: The enemy that sowed them is the
devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
40: As therefore the tares are gathered
and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
41: The Son of man shall send forth
his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend,
and them which do iniquity;
42: And shall cast them into a furnace
of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43: Then shall the righteous shine
forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear,
let him hear.
13/47: Again, the kingdom of heaven
is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind:
48: Which, when it was full, they drew
to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the
bad away.
49: So shall it be at the end of the
world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the
just,
50: And shall cast them into the furnace
of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
16/24: Then said Jesus unto his disciples,
If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross,
and follow me.
25: For whosoever will save his life
shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find
it.
26: For what is a man profited, if
he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man
give in exchange for his soul?
27: For the Son of man shall come in
the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every
man according to his works.
18/21: Then came Peter to him, and said,
Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till
seven times?
22: Jesus saith unto him, I say not
unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
23: Therefore is the kingdom of heaven
likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
24: And when he had begun to reckon,
one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
25: But forasmuch as he had not to
pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and
all that he had, and payment to be made.
26: The servant therefore fell down,
and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay
thee all.
27: Then the lord of that servant was
moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28: But the same servant went out,
and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and
he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou
owest.
29: And his fellowservant fell down
at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will
pay thee all.
30: And he would not: but went and
cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31: So when his fellowservants saw
what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord
all that was done.
32: Then his lord, after that he had
called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that
debt, because thou desiredst me:
33: Shouldest not thou also have had
compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
34: And his lord was wroth, and delivered
him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
35: So likewise shall my heavenly Father
do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother
their trespasses.
21/33: Hear another parable: There was
a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about,
and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen,
and went into a far country:
34: And when the time of the fruit
drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive
the fruits of it.
35: And the husbandmen took his servants,
and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36: Again, he sent other servants more
than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
37: But last of all he sent unto them
his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38: But when the husbandmen saw the
son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him,
and let us seize on his inheritance.
39: And they caught him, and cast him
out of the vineyard, and slew him.
40: When the lord therefore of the
vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41: They say unto him, He will miserably
destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen,
which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42: Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never
read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same
is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous
in our eyes?
43: Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom
of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the
fruits thereof.
44: And whosoever shall fall on this
stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him
to powder.
45: And when the chief priests and
Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
22/23: The same day came to him the
Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
24: Saying, Master, Moses said, If
a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise
up seed unto his brother.
25: Now there were with us seven brethren:
and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue,
left his wife unto his brother:
26: Likewise the second also, and the
third, unto the seventh.
27: And last of all the woman died
also.
28: Therefore in the resurrection whose
wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
29: Jesus answered and said unto them,
Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30: For in the resurrection they neither
marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
31: But as touching the resurrection
of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying,
32: I am the God of Abraham, and the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but
of the living.
33: And when the multitude heard this,
they were astonished at his doctrine.
23/1: Then spake Jesus to the multitude,
and to his disciples,
2: Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees
sit in Moses' seat:
3: All therefore whatsoever they bid
you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for
they say, and do not.
4: For they bind heavy burdens and
grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves
will not move them with one of their fingers.
5: But all their works they do for
to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the
borders of their garments,
6: And love the uppermost rooms at
feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7: And greetings in the markets, and
to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8: But be not ye called Rabbi: for
one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
9: And call no man your father upon
the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10: Neither be ye called masters: for
one is your Master, even Christ.
11: But he that is greatest among you
shall be your servant.
12: And whosoever shall exalt himself
shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
13: But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither
go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long
prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when
he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
16: Woe unto you, ye blind guides,
which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever
shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
17: Ye fools and blind: for whether
is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18: And, Whosoever shall swear by the
altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it,
he is guilty.
19: Ye fools and blind: for whether
is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20: Whoso therefore shall swear by
the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21: And whoso shall swear by the temple,
sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22: And he that shall swear by heaven,
sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted
the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought
ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
24: Ye blind guides, which strain at
a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter,
but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26: Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first
that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may
be clean also.
27: Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear
beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all
uncleanness.
28: Even so ye also outwardly appear
righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
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.
24/4: And Jesus answered and said unto
them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5: For many shall come in my name,
saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6: And ye shall hear of wars and rumours
of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to
pass, but the end is not yet.
7: For nation shall rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences,
and earthquakes, in divers places.
8: All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9: Then shall they deliver you up to
be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations
for my name's sake.
10: And then shall many be offended,
and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11: And many false prophets shall rise,
and shall deceive many.
12: And because iniquity shall abound,
the love of many shall wax cold.
13: But he that shall endure unto the
end, the same shall be saved.
14: And this gospel of the kingdom
shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and
then shall the end come.
15: When ye therefore shall see the
abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the
holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
16: Then let them which be in Judaea
flee into the mountains:
17: Let him which is on the housetop
not come down to take any thing out of his house:
18: Neither let him which is in the
field return back to take his clothes.
19: And woe unto them that are with
child, and to them that give suck in those days!
20: But pray ye that your flight be
not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:
21: For then shall be great tribulation,
such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor
ever shall be.
22: And except those days should be
shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those
days shall be shortened.
23: Then if any man shall say unto
you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24: For there shall arise false Christs,
and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that,
if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25: Behold, I have told you before.
26: Wherefore if they shall say unto
you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret
chambers; believe it not.
27: For as the lightning cometh out
of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of
the Son of man be.
24/30: And then shall appear the sign
of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth
mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory.
31: And he shall send his angels with
a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from
the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32: Now learn a parable of the fig
tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know
that summer is nigh:
33: So likewise ye, when ye shall see
all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
34: Verily I say unto you, This generation
shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35: Heaven and earth shall pass away,
but my words shall not pass away.
24/36: But of that day and hour knoweth
no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
37: But as the days of Noe were, so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38: For as in the days that were before
the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,
until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39: And knew not until the flood came,
and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40: Then shall two be in the field;
the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41: Two women shall be grinding at
the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42: Watch therefore: for ye know not
what hour your Lord doth come.
43: But know this, that if the goodman
of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have
watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44: Therefore be ye also ready: for
in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45: Who then is a faithful and wise
servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them
meat in due season?
46: Blessed is that servant, whom his
lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47: Verily I say unto you, That he
shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48: But and if that evil servant shall
say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49: And shall begin to smite his fellowservants,
and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50: The lord of that servant shall
come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not
aware of,
51: And shall cut him asunder, and
appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
25/1: Then shall the kingdom of heaven
be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to
meet the bridegroom.
2: And five of them were wise, and
five were foolish.
3: They that were foolish took their
lamps, and took no oil with them:
4: But the wise took oil in their vessels
with their lamps.
5: While the bridegroom tarried, they
all slumbered and slept.
6: And at midnight there was a cry
made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7: Then all those virgins arose, and
trimmed their lamps.
8: And the foolish said unto the wise,
Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9: But the wise answered, saying, Not
so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that
sell, and buy for yourselves.
10: And while they went to buy, the
bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage:
and the door was shut.
11: Afterward came also the other virgins,
saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12: But he answered and said, Verily
I say unto you, I know you not.
13: Watch therefore, for ye know neither
the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
14: For the kingdom of heaven is as
a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered
unto them his goods.
15: And unto one he gave five talents,
to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several
ability; and straightway took his journey.
16: Then he that had received the five
talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
17: And likewise he that had received
two, he also gained other two.
18: But he that had received one went
and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19: After a long time the lord of those
servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
20: And so he that had received five
talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst
unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21: His lord said unto him, Well done,
thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things,
I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy
lord.
22: He also that had received two talents
came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have
gained two other talents beside them.
23: His lord said unto him, Well done,
good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I
will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24: Then he which had received the
one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man,
reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
25: And I was afraid, and went and
hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
26: His lord answered and said unto
him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I
sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
27: Thou oughtest therefore to have
put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received
mine own with usury.
28: Take therefore the talent from
him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29: For unto every one that hath shall
be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall
be taken away even that which he hath.
30: And cast ye the unprofitable servant
into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31: When the Son of man shall come
in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon
the throne of his glory:
32: And before him shall be gathered
all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd
divideth his sheep from the goats:
33: And he shall set the sheep on his
right hand, but the goats on the left.
34: Then shall the King say unto them
on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared
for you from the foundation of the world:
35: For I was an hungred, and ye gave
me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye
took me in:
36: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was
sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37: Then shall the righteous answer
him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty,
and gave thee drink?
38: When saw we thee a stranger, and
took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39: Or when saw we thee sick, or in
prison, and came unto thee?
40: And the King shall answer and say
unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one
of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41: Then shall he say also unto them
on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared
for the devil and his angels:
42: For I was an hungred, and ye gave
me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43: I was a stranger, and ye took me
not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited
me not.
44: Then shall they also answer him,
saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or
naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45: Then shall he answer them, saying,
Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of
these, ye did it not to me.
46: And these shall go away into everlasting
punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
26/27: And he took the cup, and gave
thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28: For this is my blood of the new
testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29: But I say unto you, I will not
drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink
it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
26/63: 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.
MARK
12/1: And he began to speak unto them
by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it,
and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to
husbandmen, and went into a far country.
2: And at the season he sent to the
husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the
fruit of the vineyard.
3: And they caught him, and beat him,
and sent him away empty.
4: And again he sent unto them another
servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and
sent him away shamefully handled.
5: And again he sent another; and him
they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some.
6: Having yet therefore one son, his
wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence
my son.
7: But those husbandmen said among
themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance
shall be ours.
8: And they took him, and killed him,
and cast him out of the vineyard.
9: What shall therefore the lord of
the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give
the vineyard unto others.
10: And have ye not read this scripture;
The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner:
11: This was the Lord's doing, and
it is marvellous in our eyes?
12: And they sought to lay hold on
him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable
against them: and they left him, and went their way.
12/18: Then come unto him the Sadducees,
which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,
19: Master, Moses wrote unto us, If
a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children,
that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
20: Now there were seven brethren:
and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
21: And the second took her, and died,
neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
22: And the seven had her, and left
no seed: last of all the woman died also.
23: In the resurrection therefore,
when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had
her to wife.
24: And Jesus answering said unto them,
Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the
power of God?
25: For when they shall rise from the
dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels
which are in heaven.
26: And as touching the dead, that
they rise: have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush God spake
unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the
God of Jacob?
27: He is not the God of the dead,
but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.
12/38: And he said unto them in his
doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and
love salutations in the marketplaces,
39: And the chief seats in the synagogues,
and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
40: Which devour widows' houses, and
for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
13/5: And Jesus answering them began
to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
6: For many shall come in my name,
saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
7: And when ye shall hear of wars and
rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but
the end shall not be yet.
8: For nation shall rise against nation,
and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places,
and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
9: But take heed to yourselves: for
they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be
beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for
a testimony against them.
10: And the gospel must first be published
among all nations.
11: But when they shall lead you, and
deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither
do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that
speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.
12: Now the brother shall betray the
brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against
their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.
13: And ye shall be hated of all men
for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall
be saved.
13/14: But when ye shall see the abomination
of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought
not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea
flee to the mountains:
15: And let him that is on the housetop
not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out
of his house:
16: And let him that is in the field
not turn back again for to take up his garment.
17: But woe to them that are with child,
and to them that give suck in those days!
18: And pray ye that your flight be
not in the winter.
19: For in those days shall be affliction,
such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto
this time, neither shall be.
20: And except that the Lord had shortened
those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he
hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
21: And then if any man shall say to
you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
22: For false Christs and false prophets
shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible,
even the elect.
23: But take ye heed: behold, I have
foretold you all things.
24: But in those days, after that tribulation,
the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25: And the stars of heaven shall fall,
and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26: And then shall they see the Son
of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
27: And then shall he send his angels,
and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost
part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
13/28: Now learn a parable of the fig
tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know
that summer is near:
29: So ye in like manner, when ye shall
see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.
30: Verily I say unto you, that this
generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
31: Heaven and earth shall pass away:
but my words shall not pass away.
32: But of that day and that hour knoweth
no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the
Father.
33: Take ye heed, watch and pray: for
ye know not when the time is.
34: For the Son of man is as a man
taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants,
and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35: Watch ye therefore: for ye know
not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at
the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36: Lest coming suddenly he find you
sleeping.
37: And what I say unto you I say unto
all, Watch.
14/23: And he took the cup, and when
he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
24: And he said unto them, This is
my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
25: Verily I say unto you, I will drink
no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in
the kingdom of God.
14/61: But he held his peace, and answered
nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the
Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
62: And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall
see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the
clouds of heaven.
LUKE
1/32: He shall be great, and shall be
called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the
throne of his father David:
33: And he shall reign over the house
of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
2/29: Lord, now lettest thou thy servant
depart in peace, according to thy word:
30: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31: Which thou hast prepared before
the face of all people;
32: A light to lighten the Gentiles,
and the glory of thy people Israel.
33: And Joseph and his mother marvelled
at those things which were spoken of him.
34: And Simeon blessed them, and said
unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising
again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
35: (Yea, a sword shall pierce through
thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
4/14: And Jesus returned in the power
of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all
the region round about.
15: And he taught in their synagogues,
being glorified of all.
7/1: Now when he had ended all his sayings
in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2: And a certain centurion's servant,
who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
3: And when he heard of Jesus, he sent
unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and
heal his servant.
4: And when they came to Jesus, they
besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do
this:
5: For he loveth our nation, and he
hath built us a synagogue.
6: Then Jesus went with them. And when
he was now not far from the house, the centurion sent friends to him, saying
unto him, Lord, trouble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest
enter under my roof:
7: Wherefore neither thought I myself
worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed.
8: For I also am a man set under authority,
having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to
another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth
it.
9: When Jesus heard these things, he
marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed
him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
10: And they that were sent, returning
to the house, found the servant whole that had been sick.
9/23: And he said to them all, If any
man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily,
and follow me.
24: For whosoever will save his life
shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall
save it.
25: For what is a man advantaged, if
he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
26: For whosoever shall be ashamed
of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he
shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.
27: But I tell you of a truth, there
be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the
kingdom of God.
10/1: After these things the Lord appointed
other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every
city and place, whither he himself would come.
2: Therefore said he unto them, The
harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the
Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
3: Go your ways: behold, I send you
forth as lambs among wolves.
4: Carry neither purse, nor scrip,
nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.
5: And into whatsoever house ye enter,
first say, Peace be to this house.
6: And if the son of peace be there,
your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
7: And in the same house remain, eating
and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his
hire. Go not from house to house.
8: And into whatsoever city ye enter,
and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9: And heal the sick that are therein,
and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10: But into whatsoever city ye enter,
and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same,
and say,
11: Even the very dust of your city,
which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye
sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12: But I say unto you, that it shall
be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
13: Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto
thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon,
which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting
in sackcloth and ashes.
14: But it shall be more tolerable
for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.
15: And thou, Capernaum, which art
exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.
16: He that heareth you heareth me;
and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth
him that sent me.
17: And the seventy returned again
with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy
name.
18: And he said unto them, I beheld
Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
19: Behold, I give unto you power to
tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and
nothing shall by any means hurt you.
20: Notwithstanding in this rejoice
not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because
your names are written in heaven.
21: In that hour Jesus rejoiced in
spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that
thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed
them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
22: All things are delivered to me
of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who
the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
23: And he turned him unto his disciples,
and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:
24: For I tell you, that many prophets
and kings 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.
11/1: And it came to pass, that, as
he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples
said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2: And he said unto them, When ye pray,
say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
3: Give us day by day our daily bread.
4: And forgive us our sins; for we
also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
5: And he said unto them, Which of
you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto
him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6: For a friend of mine in his journey
is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
7: And he from within shall answer
and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with
me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
8: I say unto you, Though he will not
rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity
he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
9: And I say unto you, Ask, and it
shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened
unto you.
10: For every one that asketh receiveth;
and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11: If a son shall ask bread of any
of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish,
will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12: Or if he shall ask an egg, will
he offer him a scorpion?
13: If ye then, being evil, know how
to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly
Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
12/1: In the mean time, when there were
gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they
trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all,
Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2: For there is nothing covered, that
shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3: Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken
in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken
in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4: And I say unto you my friends, Be
not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that
they can do.
5: But I will forewarn you whom ye
shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into
hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
6: Are not five sparrows sold for two
farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
7: But even the very hairs of your
head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many
sparrows.
8: Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall
confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the
angels of God:
9: But he that denieth me before men
shall be denied before the angels of God.
10: And whosoever shall speak a word
against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth
against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.
11: And when they bring you unto the
synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or
what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12: For the Holy Ghost shall teach
you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
12/13: And one of the company said unto
him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14: And he said unto him, Man, who
made me a judge or a divider over you?
15: And he said unto them, Take heed,
and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance
of the things which he possesseth.
16: And he spake a parable unto them,
saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17: And he thought within himself,
saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18: And he said, This will I do: I
will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all
my fruits and my goods.
19: And I will say to my soul, Soul,
thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink,
and be merry.
20: But God said unto him, Thou fool,
this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things
be, which thou hast provided?
21: So is he that layeth up treasure
for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22: And he said unto his disciples,
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall
eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23: The life is more than meat, and
the body is more than raiment.
24: Consider the ravens: for they neither
sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them:
how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25: And which of you with taking thought
can add to his stature one cubit?
26: If ye then be not able to do that
thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27: Consider the lilies how they grow:
they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all
his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28: If then God so clothe the grass,
which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how
much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29: And seek not ye what ye shall eat,
or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30: For all these things do the nations
of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these
things.
31: But rather seek ye the kingdom
of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
32: Fear not, little flock; for it
is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33: Sell that ye have, and give alms;
provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that
faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34: For where your treasure is, there
will your heart be also.
35: Let your loins be girded about,
and your lights burning;
36: And ye yourselves like unto men
that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when
he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately.
37: Blessed are those servants, whom
the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that
he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come
forth and serve them.
38: And if he shall come in the second
watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those
servants.
39: And this know, that if the goodman
of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched,
and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40: Be ye therefore ready also: for
the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
13/22: And he went through the cities
and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem.
23: Then said one unto him, Lord, are
there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
24: Strive to enter in at the strait
gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be
able.
25: When once the master of the house
is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without,
and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall
answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
26: Then shall ye begin to say, We
have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
27: But he shall say, I tell you, I
know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.
28: There shall be weeping and gnashing
of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the
prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.
29: And they shall come from the east,
and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit
down in the kingdom of God.
30: And, behold, there are last which
shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.
31: The same day there came certain
of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for
Herod will kill thee.
32: And he said unto them, Go ye, and
tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to
morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.
14/13: But when thou makest a feast,
call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind:
14: And thou shalt be blessed; for
they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection
of the just.
17/34: I tell you, in that night there
shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall
be left.
35: Two women shall be grinding together;
the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36: Two men shall be in the field;
the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37: And they answered and said unto
him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither
will the eagles be gathered together.
18/28: Then Peter said, Lo, we have
left all, and followed thee.
29: And he said unto them, Verily I
say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren,
or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
30: Who shall not receive manifold
more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
19/11: And as they heard these things,
he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because
they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.
12: He said therefore, A certain nobleman
went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.
13: And he called his ten servants,
and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.
14: But his citizens hated him, and
sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over
us.
15: And it came to pass, that when
he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants
to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know
how much every man had gained by trading.
16: Then came the first, saying, Lord,
thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
17: And he said unto him, Well, thou
good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou
authority over ten cities.
18: And the second came, saying, Lord,
thy pound hath gained five pounds.
19: And he said likewise to him, Be
thou also over five cities.
20: And another came, saying, Lord,
behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:
21: For I feared thee, because thou
art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest
that thou didst not sow.
22: And he saith unto him, Out of thine
own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was
an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did
not sow:
23: Wherefore then gavest not thou
my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own
with usury?
24: And he said unto them that stood
by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.
25: (And they said unto him, Lord,
he hath ten pounds.)
26: For I say unto you, That unto every
one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he
hath shall be taken away from him.
27: But those mine enemies, which would
not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
20/9: Then began he to speak to the
people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth
to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.
10: And at the season he sent a servant
to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard:
but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.
11: And again he sent another servant:
and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away
empty.
12: And again he sent a third: and
they wounded him also, and cast him out.
13: Then said the lord of the vineyard,
What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence
him when they see him.
14: But when the husbandmen saw him,
they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us
kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.
15: So they cast him out of the vineyard,
and killed him. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them?
16: He shall come and destroy these
husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard
it, they said, God forbid.
17: And he beheld them, and said, What
is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the
same is become the head of the corner?
18: Whosoever shall fall upon that
stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him
to powder.
20/27: Then came to him certain of the
Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,
28: Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto
us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children,
that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.
29: There were therefore seven brethren:
and the first took a wife, and died without children.
30: And the second took her to wife,
and he died childless.
31: And the third took her; and in
like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.
32: Last of all the woman died also.
33: Therefore in the resurrection whose
wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife.
34: And Jesus answering said unto them,
The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
35: But they which shall be accounted
worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither
marry, nor are given in marriage:
36: Neither can they die any more:
for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being
the children of the resurrection.
37: Now that the dead are raised, even
Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham,
and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
38: For he is not a God of the dead,
but of the living: for all live unto him.
39: Then certain of the scribes answering
said, Master, thou hast well said.
40: And after that they durst not ask
him any question at all.
20/45: Then in the audience of all the
people he said unto his disciples,
46: Beware of the scribes, which desire
to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest
seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;
47: Which devour widows' houses, and
for a shew make long prayers: the same shall receive greater damnation.
21/8: 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.
21/25: 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.
29: And he spake to them a parable;
Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
30: When they now shoot forth, ye see
and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
31: So likewise ye, when ye see these
things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32: Verily I say unto you, This generation
shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33: Heaven and earth shall pass away:
but my words shall not pass away.
21/34: And take heed to yourselves,
lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness,
and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35: For as a snare shall it come on
all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36: Watch ye therefore, and pray always,
that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come
to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
22/17: And he took the cup, and gave
thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18: For I say unto you, I will not
drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
22/34: And he said, I tell thee, Peter,
the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that
thou knowest me.
35: And he said unto them, When I sent
you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they
said, Nothing.
36: Then said he unto them, But now,
he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that
hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
22/67: Art thou the Christ? tell us.
And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:
68: And if I also ask you, ye will
not answer me, nor let me go.
JOHN
3/16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
3/18: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
3/36: He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
4/34: Jesus saith unto them, My meat
is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35: Say not ye, There are yet four
months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes,
and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36: And he that reapeth receiveth wages,
and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he
that reapeth may rejoice together.
37: And herein is that saying true,
One soweth, and another reapeth.
38: I sent you to reap that whereon
ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their
labours.
5/25: Verily, verily, I say unto you,
The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the
Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26: For as the Father hath life in
himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27: And hath given him authority to
execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28: Marvel not at this: for the hour
is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29: And shall come forth; they that
have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done
evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
5/41: I receive not honour from men.
42: But I know you, that ye have not
the love of God in you.
43: I am come in my Father's name,
and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will
receive.
44: How can ye believe, which receive
honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
6/35: And Jesus said unto them, I am
the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that
believeth on me shall never thirst.
36: But I said unto you, That ye also
have seen me, and believe not.
37: All that the Father giveth me shall
come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38: For I came down from heaven, not
to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
39: And this is the Father's will which
hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing,
but should raise it up again at the last day.
40: And this is the will of him that
sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may
have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
6/49: Your fathers did eat manna in
the wilderness, and are dead.
50: This is the bread which cometh
down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51: I am the living bread which came
down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever:
and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life
of the world.
52: The Jews therefore strove among
themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
53: Then Jesus said unto them, Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and
drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54: Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh
my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55: For my flesh is meat indeed, and
my blood is drink indeed.
56: He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh
my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57: As the living Father hath sent
me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live
by me.
58: This is that bread which came down
from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth
of this bread shall live for ever.
8/12: Then spake Jesus again unto them,
saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk
in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13: The Pharisees therefore said unto
him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14: Jesus answered and said unto them,
Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence
I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither
I go.
15: Ye judge after the flesh; I judge
no man.
16: And yet if I judge, my judgment
is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17: It is also written in your law,
that the testimony of two men is true.
18: I am one that bear witness of myself,
and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19: Then said they unto him, Where
is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye
had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
20: These words spake Jesus in the
treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for
his hour was not yet come.
8/21: Then said Jesus again unto them,
I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither
I go, ye cannot come.
22: Then said the Jews, Will he kill
himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23: And he said unto them, Ye are from
beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24: I said therefore unto you, that
ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall
die in your sins.
25: Then said they unto him, Who art
thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from
the beginning.
26: I have many things to say and to
judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those
things which I have heard of him.
27: They understood not that he spake
to them of the Father.
28: Then said Jesus unto them, When
ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and
that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these
things.
29: And he that sent me is with me:
the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please
him.
30: As he spake these words, many believed
on him.
31: Then said Jesus to those Jews which
believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32: And ye shall know the truth, and
the truth shall make you free.
33: They answered him, We be Abraham's
seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be
made free?
34: Jesus answered them, Verily, verily,
I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35: And the servant abideth not in
the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36: If the Son therefore shall make
you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37: I know that ye are Abraham's seed;
but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38: I speak that which I have seen
with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39: They answered and said unto him,
Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children,
ye would do the works of Abraham.
40: But now ye seek to kill me, a man
that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41: Ye do the deeds of your father.
Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father,
even God.
42: Jesus said unto them, If God were
your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God;
neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43: Why do ye not understand my speech?
even because ye cannot hear my word.
44: Ye are of your father the devil,
and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning,
and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh
a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45: And because I tell you the truth,
ye believe me not.
46: Which of you convinceth me of sin?
And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47: He that is of God heareth God's
words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
48: Then answered the Jews, and said
unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49: Jesus answered, I have not a devil;
but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
50: And I seek not mine own glory:
there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51: Verily, verily, I say unto you,
If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
52: Then said the Jews unto him, Now
we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and
thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
53: Art thou greater than our father
Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54: Jesus answered, If I honour myself,
my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say,
that he is your God:
55: Yet ye have not known him; but
I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like
unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56: Your father Abraham rejoiced to
see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57: Then said the Jews unto him, Thou
art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58: Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily,
I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59: Then took they up stones to cast
at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through
the midst of them, and so passed by.
10/27: My sheep hear my voice, and I
know them, and they follow me:
28: And I give unto them eternal life;
and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my
hand.
29: My Father, which gave them me,
is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's
hand.
30: I and my Father are one.
11/25: Jesus said unto her, I am the
resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead,
yet shall he live:
26: And whosoever liveth and believeth
in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
12/20: And there were certain Greeks
among them that came up to worship at the feast:
21: The same came therefore to Philip,
which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would
see Jesus.
22: Philip cometh and telleth Andrew:
and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23: And Jesus answered them, saying,
The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24: Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone:
but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25: He that loveth his life shall lose
it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
26: If any man serve me, let him follow
me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me,
him will my Father honour.
12/37: But though he had done so many
miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
38: That the saying of Esaias the prophet
might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report?
and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39: Therefore they could not believe,
because that Esaias said again,
40: He hath blinded their eyes, and
hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand
with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
41: These things said Esaias, when
he saw his glory, and spake of him.
42: Nevertheless among the chief rulers
also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess
him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
43: For they loved the praise of men
more than the praise of God.
44: Jesus cried and said, He that believeth
on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45: And he that seeth me seeth him
that sent me.
46: I am come a light into the world,
that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47: And if any man hear my words, and
believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to
save the world.
48: He that rejecteth me, and receiveth
not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the
same shall judge him in the last day.
49: For I have not spoken of myself;
but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say,
and what I should speak.
50: And I know that his commandment
is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said
unto me, so I speak.
14/3: And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
ACTS
1/10: And while they looked stedfastly
toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11: Which also said, Ye men of Galilee,
why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up
from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him
go into heaven.
3/11: And as the lame man which was
healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the
porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
12: And when Peter saw it, he answered
unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye
so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made
this man to walk?
13: The God of Abraham, and of Isaac,
and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom
ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was
determined to let him go.
14: But ye denied the Holy One and
the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
15: And killed the Prince of life,
whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
16: And his name through faith in his
name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which
is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you
all.
17: And now, brethren, I wot that through
ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
18: But those things, which God before
had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer,
he hath so fulfilled.
19: Repent ye therefore, and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come
from the presence of the Lord;
20: And he shall send Jesus Christ,
which before was preached unto you:
21: Whom the heaven must receive until
the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth
of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22: For Moses truly said unto the fathers,
A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like
unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23: And it shall come to pass, that
every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among
the people.
24: Yea, and all the prophets from
Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise
foretold of these days.
25: Ye are the children of the prophets,
and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham,
And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26: Unto you first God, having raised
up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you
from his iniquities.
ROMANS
2/3: And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
2/5: But after thy hardness and impenitent
heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation
of the righteous judgment of God;
6: Who will render to every man according
to his deeds:
7: To them who by patient continuance
in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8: But unto them that are contentious,
and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9: Tribulation and anguish, upon every
soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10: But glory, honour, and peace, to
every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11: For there is no respect of persons
with God.
12: For as many as have sinned without
law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law
shall be judged by the law;
13: (For not the hearers of the law
are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14: For when the Gentiles, which have
not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having
not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15: Which shew the work of the law
written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their
thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
16: In the day when God shall judge
the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.
5/9: Much more then, being now justified
by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
10: For if, when we were enemies, we
were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled,
we shall be saved by his life.
11: And not only so, but we also joy
in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the
atonement.
6/8: Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
8/1: There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
8/17: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
8/18: For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
8/29: For whom he did foreknow, he also
did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might
be the firstborn among many brethren.
30: Moreover whom he did predestinate,
them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom
he justified, them he also glorified.
8/35: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
9/14: What shall we say then? Is there
unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15: For he saith to Moses, I will have
mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will
have compassion.
16: So then it is not of him that willeth,
nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
9/25: As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
9/27: Esaias also crieth concerning
Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the
sea, a remnant shall be saved:
28: For he will finish the work, and
cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make
upon the earth.
11/23: And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
11/25: For I would not, brethren, that
ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own
conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness
of the Gentiles be come in.
26: And so all Israel shall be saved:
as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall
turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27: For this is my covenant unto them,
when I shall take away their sins.
11/28: As concerning the gospel, they
are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved
for the fathers' sakes.
29: For the gifts and calling of God
are without repentance.
30: For as ye in times past have not
believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:
31: Even so have these also now not
believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
32: For God hath concluded them all
in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
14/10: But why dost thou judge thy brother?
or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before
the judgment seat of Christ.
11: For it is written, As I live, saith
the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to
God.
12: So then every one of us shall give
account of himself to God.
15/12: And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
16/20: And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
I CORINTHIANS
1/8: Who shall also confirm you unto
the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9: God is faithful, by whom ye were
called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
3/10: According to the grace of God
which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation,
and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth
thereupon.
11: For other foundation can no man
lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12: Now if any man build upon this
foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13: Every man's work shall be made
manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by
fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14: If any man's work abide which he
hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15: If any man's work shall be burned,
he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
4/5: 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.
5/13: But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
6/9: 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.
9/24: Know ye not that they which run
in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
25: And every man that striveth for
the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible
crown; but we an incorruptible.
26: I therefore so run, not as uncertainly;
so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
27: But I keep under my body, and bring
it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others,
I myself should be a castaway.
15/12: 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.
20: But now is Christ risen from the
dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
15/24: Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
15/35: But some man will say, How are
the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36: Thou fool, that which thou sowest
is not quickened, except it die:
37: And that which thou sowest, thou
sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat,
or of some other grain:
38: But God giveth it a body as it
hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39: All flesh is not the same flesh:
but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another
of fishes, and another of birds.
40: There are also celestial bodies,
and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the
glory of the terrestrial is another.
41: There is one glory of the sun,
and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one
star differeth from another star in glory.
42: So also is the resurrection of
the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43: It is sown in dishonour; it is
raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44: It is sown a natural body; it is
raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual
body.
45: And so it is written, The first
man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46: Howbeit that was not first which
is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47: The first man is of the earth,
earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48: As is the earthy, such are they
also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are
heavenly.
49: And as we have borne the image
of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50: Now this I say, brethren, that
flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption
inherit incorruption.
15/51: Behold, I shew you a mystery;
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52: In a moment, in the twinkling of
an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall
be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
II CORINTHIANS
1/14: As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.
5/1: For we know that if our earthly
house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an
house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2: For in this we groan, earnestly
desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
3: If so be that being clothed we shall
not be found naked.
4: For we that are in this tabernacle
do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed
upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5: Now he that hath wrought us for
the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the
Spirit.
6: Therefore we are always confident,
knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the
Lord:
7: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
8: We are confident, I say, and willing
rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9: Wherefore we labour, that, whether
present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
5/10: For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
GALATIANS
6/8: For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
EPHESIANS
1/9: 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:
1/13: 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.
1/18: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
2/7: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
4/30: And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
5/27: 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.
6/8: Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
PHILIPPIANS
1/6: Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
1/21: For to me to live is Christ, and
to die is gain.
22: But if I live in the flesh, this
is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
23: For I am in a strait betwixt two,
having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
24: Nevertheless to abide in the flesh
is more needful for you.
2/9: Wherefore God also hath highly
exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10: That at the name of Jesus every
knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under
the earth;
11: And that every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
3/10: That I may know him, and the power
of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable
unto his death;
11: If by any means I might attain
unto the resurrection of the dead.
3/18: (For many walk, of whom I have
told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies
of the cross of Christ:
19: Whose end is destruction, whose
God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly
things.)
3/20: For our conversation is in heaven;
from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21: Who shall change our vile body,
that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the
working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
COLOSSIANS
1/12: Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
1/22: In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
3/4: When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
3/23: And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily,
as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24: Knowing that of the Lord ye shall
receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
I THESSALONIANS
1/10: And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
2/12: That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.
2/15: 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.
2/19: For what is our hope, or joy,
or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus
Christ at his coming?
20: For ye are our glory and joy.
3/13: To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
4/13: But I would not have you to be
ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not,
even as others which have no hope.
14: For if we believe that Jesus died
and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with
him.
15: For this we say unto you by the
word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of
the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16: For the Lord himself shall descend
from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the
trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17: Then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in
the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18: Wherefore comfort one another with
these words.
5/1: But of the times and the seasons,
brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2: For yourselves know perfectly that
the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3: For when they shall say, Peace and
safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman
with child; and they shall not escape.
4: But ye, brethren, are not in darkness,
that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5: Ye are all the children of light,
and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6: Therefore let us not sleep, as do
others; but let us watch and be sober.
7: For they that sleep sleep in the
night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8: But let us, who are of the day,
be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet,
the hope of salvation.
9: For God hath not appointed us to
wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10: Who died for us, that, whether
we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11: Wherefore comfort yourselves together,
and edify one another, even as also ye do.
II THESSALONIANS
1/5: Which is a manifest token of the
righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom
of God, for which ye also suffer:
6: Seeing it is a righteous thing with
God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
7: And to you who are troubled rest
with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty
angels,
8: In flaming fire taking vengeance
on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ:
9: Who shall be punished with everlasting
destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10: When he shall come to be glorified
in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our
testimony among you was believed) in that day.
2/1: Now we beseech you, brethren, by
the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto
him,
2: That ye be not soon shaken in mind,
or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us,
as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3: Let no man deceive you by any means:
for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and
that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4: Who opposeth and exalteth himself
above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God
sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
2/6: And now ye know what withholdeth
that he might be revealed in his time.
7: For the mystery of iniquity doth
already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of
the way.
I TIMOTHY
6/14: That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
II TIMOTHY
3/9: But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
4/1: I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
TITUS
2/13: Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
HEBREWS
1/6: And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
1/9: Thou hast loved righteousness,
and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with
the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10: And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning
hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of
thine hands:
11: They shall perish; but thou remainest;
and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12: And as a vesture shalt thou fold
them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years
shall not fail.
3/7: Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith,
To day if ye will hear his voice,
8: Harden not your hearts, as in the
provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9: When your fathers tempted me, proved
me, and saw my works forty years.
10: Wherefore I was grieved with that
generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not
known my ways.
11: So I sware in my wrath, They shall
not enter into my rest.)
4/1: Let us therefore fear, lest, a
promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem
to come short of it.
2: For unto us was the gospel preached,
as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being
mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3: For we which have believed do enter
into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter
into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the
world.
4: For he spake in a certain place
of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from
all his works.
5: And in this place again, If they
shall enter into my rest.
6: Seeing therefore it remaineth that
some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered
not in because of unbelief:
7: Again, he limiteth a certain day,
saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if
ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
8: For if Jesus had given them rest,
then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.
9: There remaineth therefore a rest
to the people of God.
10: For he that is entered into his
rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
11: Let us labour therefore to enter
into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
8/6: But now hath he obtained a more
excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant,
which was established upon better promises.
7: For if that first covenant had been
faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
8: For finding fault with them, he
saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9: Not according to the covenant that
I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead
them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant,
and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
10: For this is the covenant that I
will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I
will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I
will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
11: And they shall not teach every
man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for
all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12: For I will be merciful to their
unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no
more.
13: In that he saith, A new covenant,
he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready
to vanish away.
9/27: And as it is appointed unto men
once to die, but after this the judgment:
28: So Christ was once offered to bear
the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second
time without sin unto salvation.
10/37: For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
12/26: Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
JAMES
1/12: Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
5/7: 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.
I PETER
1/4: To an inheritance incorruptible,
and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5: Who are kept by the power of God
through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
1/25: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
II PETER
1/11: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
2/1: But there were false prophets also
among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who
privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought
them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2: And many shall follow their pernicious
ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3: And through covetousness shall they
with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long
time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
4: For if God spared not the angels
that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains
of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5: And spared not the old world, but
saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in
the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6: And turning the cities of Sodom
and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an
ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
7: And delivered just Lot, vexed with
the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8: (For that righteous man dwelling
among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to
day with their unlawful deeds;)
9: The Lord knoweth how to deliver
the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of
judgment to be punished:
10: But chiefly them that walk after
the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous
are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
11: Whereas angels, which are greater
in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the
Lord.
12: But these, as natural brute beasts,
made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand
not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
13: And shall receive the reward of
unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time.
Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings
while they feast with you;
14: Having eyes full of adultery, and
that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have
exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
15: Which have forsaken the right way,
and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who
loved the wages of unrighteousness;
16: But was rebuked for his iniquity:
the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
17: These are wells without water,
clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is
reserved for ever.
18: For when they speak great swelling
words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much
wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error.
19: While they promise them liberty,
they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome,
of the same is he brought in bondage.
20: For if after they have escaped
the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter
end is worse with them than the beginning.
21: For it had been better for them
not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known
it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22: But it is happened unto them according
to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the
sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
3/10: But the day of the Lord will come
as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with
a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth
also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11: Seeing then that all these things
shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation
and godliness,
12: Looking for and hasting unto the
coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved,
and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
13: Nevertheless we, according to his
promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
14: Wherefore, beloved, seeing that
ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace,
without spot, and blameless.
I JOHN
2/17: And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
2/28: And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
3/2: Beloved, now are we the sons of
God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when
he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3: And every man that hath this hope
in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
JUDE
1/14: And Enoch also, the seventh from
Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands
of his saints,
15: To execute judgment upon all, and
to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds
which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which
ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
