1
O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
10 I
2
O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever.
18 I
3
O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.
18 I
4
To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever.
14 I
5
To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever.
18 I
6
To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.
14 I
7
To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever:
13 I
8
The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever:
14 I
9
The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever.
14 I
10
To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever:
11
And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever:
18 I
12
With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever.
16 I
13
To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever:
4 I
14
And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever:
4 I
15
But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever.
12 I
16
To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever.
12 I
17
To him which smote great kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:
9 I
18
And slew famous kings: for his mercy endureth for ever:
19
Sihon king of the Amorites: for his mercy endureth for ever:
20
And Og the king of Bashan: for his mercy endureth for ever:
21
And gave their land for an heritage: for his mercy endureth for ever:
22
Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever.
23
Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy endureth for ever:
12 I
24
And hath redeemed us from our enemies: for his mercy endureth for ever.
6 I
25
Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.
11 I
26
O give thanks unto the God of heaven: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Numbers 18
1
And the Lord said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father’s house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary: and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.
10 I
2
And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle of witness.
10 I
3
And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die.
10 I
4
And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tabernacle of the congregation, for all the service of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you.
10 I
5
And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel.
10 I
6
And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel: to you they are given as a gift for the Lord, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
10 I
7
Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest’s office for everything of the altar, and within the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest’s office unto you as a service of gift: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
10 I
8
And the Lord spake unto Aaron, Behold, I also have given thee the charge of mine heave offerings of all the hallowed things of the children of Israel; unto thee have I given them by reason of the anointing, and to thy sons, by an ordinance for ever.
10 I
9
This shall be thine of the most holy things, reserved from the fire: every oblation of their’s, every meat offering of their’s, and every sin offering of their’s, and every trespass offering of their’s which they shall render unto me, shall be most holy for thee and for thy sons.
10 I
10
In the most holy place shalt thou eat it; every male shall eat it: it shall be holy unto thee.
10 I
11
And this is thine; the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house shall eat of it.
10 I
12
All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the firstfruits of them which they shall offer unto the Lord, them have I given thee.
10 I
13
And whatsoever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring unto the Lord, shall be thine; every one that is clean in thine house shall eat of it.
10 I
14
Every thing devoted in Israel shall be thine.
10 I
15
Every thing that openeth the matrix in all flesh, which they bring unto the Lord, whether it be of men or beasts, shall be thine: nevertheless the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem.
10 I
16
And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs.
10 I
17
But the firstling of a cow, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, thou shalt not redeem; they are holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, and shalt burn their fat for an offering made by fire, for a sweet savour unto the Lord.
10 I
18
And the flesh of them shall be thine, as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine.
10 I
19
All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the Lord, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the Lord unto thee and to thy seed with thee.
12 I
20
And the Lord spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.
10 I
21
And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
10 I
22
Neither must the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the congregation, lest they bear sin, and die.
10 I
23
But the Levites shall do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they shall bear their iniquity: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations, that among the children of Israel they have no inheritance.
12 I
24
But the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer as an heave offering unto the Lord, I have given to the Levites to inherit: therefore I have said unto them, Among the children of Israel they shall have no inheritance.
10 I
25
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
10 I
26
Thus speak unto the Levites, and say unto them, When ye take of the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them for your inheritance, then ye shall offer up an heave offering of it for the Lord, even a tenth part of the tithe.
12 I
27
And this your heave offering shall be reckoned unto you, as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor, and as the fulness of the winepress.
10 I
28
Thus ye also shall offer an heave offering unto the Lord of all your tithes, which ye receive of the children of Israel; and ye shall give thereof the Lord’S heave offering to Aaron the priest.
10 I
29
Out of all your gifts ye shall offer every heave offering of the Lord, of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it.
12 I
30
Therefore thou shalt say unto them, When ye have heaved the best thereof from it, then it shall be counted unto the Levites as the increase of the threshingfloor, and as the increase of the winepress.
10 I
31
And ye shall eat it in every place, ye and your households: for it is your reward for your service in the tabernacle of the congregation.
10 I
32
And ye shall bear no sin by reason of it, when ye have heaved from it the best of it: neither shall ye pollute the holy things of the children of Israel, lest ye die.
10 I
Numbers 19
1
And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
10 I
2
This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:
10 I
3
And ye shall give her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:
10 I
4
And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and sprinkle of her blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
10 I
5
And one shall burn the heifer in his sight; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, with her dung, shall he burn:
10 I
6
And the priest shall take cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and cast it into the midst of the burning of the heifer.
10 I
7
Then the priest shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp, and the priest shall be unclean until the even.
10 I
8
And he that burneth her shall wash his clothes in water, and bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until the even.
10 I
9
And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification for sin.
10 I
10
And he that gathereth the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: and it shall be unto the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them, for a statute for ever.
10 I
11
He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
10 I
12
He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
10 I
13
Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
10 I
14
This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
10 I
15
And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.
10 I
16
And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
10 I
17
And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:
10 I
18
And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
10 I
19
And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
10 I
20
But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the Lord: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.
10 I
21
And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
10 I
22
And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.
10 I
Isaiah 56
1
Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
5 I
2
Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
17 I
3
Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the Lord, speak, saying, The Lord hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 I
4
For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
5 I
5
Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
5 I
6
Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
8 I
7
Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
10 I
8
The Lord God, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
10 I
9
All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
10
His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
5 I
11
Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
5 I
12
Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
5 I
Isaiah 57
1
The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
7 I
2
He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.
2 I
3
But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore.
4
Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood.
5
Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the rocks?
6
Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive comfort in these?
7
Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
8
Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou lovedst their bed where thou sawest it.
9
And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst increase thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers far off, and didst debase thyself even unto hell.
10
Thou art wearied in the greatness of thy way; yet saidst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieved.
11
And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not?
12
I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; for they shall not profit thee.
13
When thou criest, let thy companies deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away; vanity shall take them: but he that putteth his trust in me shall possess the land, and shall inherit my holy mountain;
8 I
14
And shall say, Cast ye up, cast ye up, prepare the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of my people.
4 I
15
For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
14 I
16
For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made.
8 I
17
For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
8 I
18
I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners.
14 I
19
I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the Lord; and I will heal him.
10 I
20
But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
6 I
21
There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
11 I
1 Thessalonians 4
1
Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
2
For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
3
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
7 I
4
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
3 I
5
Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
6
That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
5 I
7
For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
19 I
8
He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
19 I
9
But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
4 I
10
And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;
11
And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
4 I
12
That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
