Psalm 115

1 Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake. 15 I
2 Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? 2 I
3 But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. 8 I
4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands.
5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
9 O Israel, trust thou in the Lord: he is their help and their shield. 12 I
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield. 2 I
11 Ye that fear the Lord, trust in the Lord: he is their help and their shield. 11 I
12 The Lord hath been mindful of us: he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron.
13 He will bless them that fear the Lord, both small and great. 5 I
14 The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children. 3 I
15 Ye are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth. 13 I
16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 6 I
17 The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence. 8 I
18 But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord. 4 I

 

Leviticus 21

23 Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the Lord do sanctify them. 10 I
24 And Moses told it unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel. 10 I
1 And the Lord said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people: 10 I
2 But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother. 10 I
3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled. 10 I
4 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself. 10 I
5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. 10 I
6 They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy. 10 I
7 They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God. 10 I
8 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the Lord, which sanctify you, am holy. 12 I
9 And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire. 10 I
10 And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes; 10 I
11 Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother; 10 I
12 Neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the Lord. 10 I
13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 10 I
14 A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife. 10 I
15 Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the Lord do sanctify him. 10 I
16 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 10 I
17 Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their generations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. 12 I
18 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, 10 I
19 Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, 10 I
20 Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; 10 I
21 No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. 12 I
22 He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy. 10 I

 

Leviticus 22

1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 10 I
2 Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they profane not my holy name in those things which they hallow unto me: I am the Lord. 12 I
3 Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed among your generations, that goeth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto the Lord, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from my presence: I am the Lord. 10 I
4 What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him; 10 I
5 Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath; 10 I
6 The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water. 10 I
7 And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it is his food. 10 I
8 That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith; I am the Lord. 10 I
9 They shall therefore keep mine ordinance, lest they bear sin for it, and die therefore, if they profane it: I the Lord do sanctify them. 10 I
10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest, or an hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing. 10 I
11 But if the priest buy any soul with his money, he shall eat of it, and he that is born in his house: they shall eat of his meat. 10 I
12 If the priest’s daughter also be married unto a stranger, she may not eat of an offering of the holy things. 10 I
13 But if the priest’s daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned unto her father’s house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s meat: but there shall be no stranger eat thereof. 10 I
14 And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing. 10 I
15 And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto the Lord; 12 I
16 Or suffer them to bear the iniquity of trespass, when they eat their holy things: for I the Lord do sanctify them. 12 I

 

Isaiah 26

1 In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
2 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.
3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 30 I
4 Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength: 25 I
5 For he bringeth down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. 2 I
6 The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
7 The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. 11 I
8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. 4 I
9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. 4 I
10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord. 4 I
11 Lord, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine enemies shall devour them. 4 I
12 Lord, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. 12 I
13 O Lord our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name. 10 I
14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. 6 I
15 Thou hast increased the nation, O Lord, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto all the ends of the earth.
16 Lord, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O Lord.
18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. 5 I
20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. 3 I
21 For, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain. 4 I

 

Isaiah 27

1 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
2 In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine. 2 I
3 I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. 4 I
4 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
5 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.
6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit. 2 I
7 Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
8 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind. 4 I
9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.
10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. 2 I
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem. 2 I

 

Galatians 6

1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 9 I
2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 26 I
3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 7 I
4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 9 I
5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 5 I
6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 I
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 16 I
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. 33 I
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 22 I
10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. 13 I
11 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 12 I
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 5 I
16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God. 5 I
17 From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. 5 I
18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. 7 I
