John 5:
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to
Jerusalem. {5:2} Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a
pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five
porches. {5:3} In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of
blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. {5:4} For
an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the
water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in
was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. {5:5} And a certain man
was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. {5:6} When
Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time [in that
case,] he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? {5:7} The impotent
man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to
put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down
before me. {5:8} Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
{5:9} And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and
walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
{5:10} The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the
sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry [thy] bed. {5:11} He
answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up
thy bed, and walk. {5:12} Then asked they him, What man is that which
said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? {5:13} And he that was
healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a
multitude being in [that] place. {5:14} Afterward Jesus findeth him in
the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no
more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. {5:15} The man departed, and
told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole. {5:16} And
therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because
he had done these things on the sabbath day.
{5:17} But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I
work. {5:18} Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he
not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father,
making himself equal with God. {5:19} Then answered Jesus and said unto
them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of
himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he
doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. {5:20} For the Father loveth
the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will
shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. {5:21} For as
the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth [them;] even so the Son
quickeneth whom he will. {5:22} For the Father judgeth no man, but hath
committed all judgment unto the Son: {5:23} That all [men] should
honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not
the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. {5:24} Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him
that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into
condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. {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.
{5:26} For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the
Son to have life in himself; {5:27} And hath given him authority to
execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. {5:28} Marvel not
at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the
graves shall hear his voice, {5:29} 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. {5:30} I can of mine own self
do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek
not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
{5:31} If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
{5:32} There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that
the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. {5:33} Ye sent unto
John, and he bare witness unto the truth. {5:34} But I receive not
testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
{5:35} He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a
season to rejoice in his light.
{5:36} But I have greater witness than [that] of John: for the works
which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do,
bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. {5:37} And the Father
himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither
heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. {5:38} And ye have not
his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
{5:39} Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal
life: and they are they which testify of me. {5:40} And ye will not
come to me, that ye might have life. {5:41} I receive not honour from
men. {5:42} But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
{5:43} 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. {5:44} How can ye
believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour
that [cometh] from God only? {5:45} Do not think that I will accuse you
to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom
ye trust. {5:46} For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me:
for he wrote of me. {5:47} But if ye believe not his writings, how
shall ye believe my words?
Psalm 9:
I will praise [thee,] O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew
forth all thy marvellous works.
{9:2} I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy
name, O thou most High.
{9:3} When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at
thy presence.
{9:4} For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in
the throne judging right.
{9:5} Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked,
thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
{9:6} O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou
hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them.
{9:7} But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne
for judgment.
{9:8} And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister
judgment to the people in uprightness.
{9:9} The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in
times of trouble.
{9:10} And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for
thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
{9:11} Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among
the people his doings.
{9:12} When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he
forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
{9:13} Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble [which I suffer]
of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of
death:
{9:14} That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the
daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation.
{9:15} The heathen are sunk down in the pit [that] they made: in the
net which they hid is their own foot taken.
{9:16} The LORD is known [by] the judgment [which] he executeth: the
wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
{9:17} The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that
forget God.
{9:18} For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of
the poor shall [not] perish for ever.
{9:19} Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in
thy sight.
{9:20} Put them in fear, O LORD: [that] the nations may know themselves
[to be but] men. Selah.
Psalm 8:
O LORD our Lord, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth!
who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
{8:2} Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained
strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the
enemy and the avenger.
{8:3} When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon
and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
{8:4} What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man,
that thou visitest him?
{8:5} For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast
crowned him with glory and honour.
{8:6} Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands;
thou hast put all [things] under his feet:
{8:7} All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
{8:8} The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, [and whatsoever]
passeth through the paths of the seas.
{8:9} O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Luke 20:34-36:
And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world
marry, and are given in marriage: {20:35} But they which shall be
accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the
dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: {20:36} 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.
Luke 16:19-31:
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple
and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: {16:20} And there was
a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of
sores, {16:21} And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from
the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores.
{16:22} And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by
the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was
buried; {16:23} And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and
seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. {16:24} And he cried
and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he
may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am
tormented in this flame. {16:25} But Abraham said, Son, remember that
thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus
evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. {16:26}
And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so
that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they
pass to us, that [would come] from thence. {16:27} Then he said, I pray
thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's
house: {16:28} For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them,
lest they also come into this place of torment. {16:29} Abraham saith
unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. {16:30}
And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the
dead, they will repent. {16:31} And he said unto him, If they hear not
Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose
from the dead.
Luke 16:8:
And the lord commended the unjust steward,
because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their
generation wiser than the children of light.
Luke 15:11-32:
And he said, A certain man had two sons: {15:12} And the
younger of them said to [his] father, Father, give me the portion of
goods that falleth [to me.] And he divided unto them [his] living.
{15:13} And not many days after the younger son gathered all together,
and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance
with riotous living. {15:14} And when he had spent all, there arose a
mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. {15:15} And he
went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him
into his fields to feed swine. {15:16} And he would fain have filled
his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto
him. {15:17} And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired
servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish
with hunger! {15:18} I will arise and go to my father, and will say
unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,
{15:19} And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of
thy hired servants. {15:20} And he arose, and came to his father. But
when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had
compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. {15:21} And
the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy
sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. {15:22} But the
father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put [it] on
him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on [his] feet: {15:23} And
bring hither the fatted calf, and kill [it;] and let us eat, and be
merry: {15:24} For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was
lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. {15:25} Now his elder
son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he
heard musick and dancing. {15:26} And he called one of the servants,
and asked what these things meant. {15:27} And he said unto him, Thy
brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he
hath received him safe and sound. {15:28} And he was angry, and would
not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. {15:29}
And he answering said to [his] father, Lo, these many years do I serve
thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou
never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: {15:30}
But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living
with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. {15:31} And he
said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is
thine. {15:32} It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for
this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is
found.
Luke 15:10:
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him. {15:29}
And he answering said to [his] father, Lo, these many years do I serve
thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou
never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: {15:30}
But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living
with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. {15:31} And he
said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is
thine. {15:32} It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for
this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is
found.
Luke 15:10:
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.
Deuteronomy 30:19:
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Luke 10:38 - 42:
{10:38} Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a
certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her
house. {10:39} And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at
Jesus' feet, and heard his word. {10:40} But Martha was cumbered about
much serving, and came to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that
my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help
me. {10:41} And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou
art careful and troubled about many things: {10:42} But one thing is
needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken
away from her.
Luke 10:29 - 37:
{10:29} But he,
willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour?
{10:30} And Jesus answering said, A certain [man] went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his
raiment, and wounded [him,] and departed, leaving [him] half dead.
{10:31} And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and
when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. {10:32} And likewise a
Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked [on him,] and passed
by on the other side. {10:33} But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed,
came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion [on him,
]{10:34} And went to [him,] and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and
wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took
care of him. {10:35} And on the morrow when he departed, he took out
two pence, and gave [them] to the host, and said unto him, Take care of
him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay
thee. {10:36} Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour
unto him that fell among the thieves? {10:37} And he said, He that
shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.
Luke 10:22-24
All thingsare 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.]
{10:23} And he turned him unto [his] disciples, and said privately,
Blessed [are] the eyes which see the things that ye see: {10:24} 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.]
Luke 10:18-20:
{10:17} And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even
the devils are subject unto us through thy name.
{10:18} And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.
{10:19}
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. {10:20} Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are
subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in
heaven.
Luke 10:3-11:
Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as
lambs among wolves. {10:4} Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes:
and salute no man by the way. {10:5} And into whatsoever house ye
enter, first say, Peace [be] to this house. {10:6} And if the son of
peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to
you again. {10:7} 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. {10:8} And into whatsoever city ye enter, and
they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: {10:9} And
heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God
is come nigh unto you. {10:10} But into whatsoever city ye enter, and
they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same,
and say, {10:11} 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.
Deuteronomy 23:17-18
{23:17} There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a
sodomite of the sons of Israel. {23:18} Thou shalt not bring the hire
of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God
for any vow: for even both these [are] abomination unto the LORD thy
God.
Deuteronomy 20:16-18
{20:16} But of the cities of these people, which the LORD thy God doth give thee [for]
an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth: {20:17}
But thou shalt utterly destroy them; [namely,] the Hittites, and the
Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the
Jebusites; as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee: {20:18} That they
teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done
unto their gods; so should ye sin against the LORD your God.
Deuteronomy 18:15, 18-19:
The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the
midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall
hearken; {18:18} I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall
command him. {18:19} And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever will
not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will
require [it] of him.
Deuteronomy 18:9-14
When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God
giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those
nations. {18:10} There shall not be found among you [any one] that
maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth
divination, [or] an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
{18:11} Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a
wizard, or a necromancer. {18:12} For all that do these things [are] an
abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD
thy God doth drive them out from before thee. {18:13} Thou shalt be
perfect with the LORD thy God. {18:14} For these nations, which thou
shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners:
but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so [to do.]
Deuteronomy 11:26-28:
Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;
{11:27} A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:
{11:28} And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
Deuteronomy 11:13-17:
And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
{11:14} That I will give [you] the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
{11:15} And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.
{11:16} Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
{11:17} And [then] the LORD'S wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be
no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and [lest] ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.
Deuteronomy 11:10-12:
For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, [is] not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst [it] with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
{11:11} But the land, whither ye go to possess it, [is] a land of hills [and] valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
{11:12} A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God [are] always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
Dueteronomy 10:17:
{10:17} For the LORD your God [is] God of gods, and Lord of lords, a [The] great God, a mighty [mighty and awesome], and a terrible, which regardeth not persons [shows no partiality], nor taketh reward [bribes]:
Deuteronomy Chapter 4:
{4:1} Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto
the judgments, which I teach you, for to do [them,] that ye may live,
and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers
giveth you. {4:2} Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you,
neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the
commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. {4:3} Your eyes
have seen what the LORD did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that
followed Baal-peor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among
you. {4:4} But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God [are] alive
every one of you this day. {4:5} Behold, I have taught you statutes and
judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so
in the land whither ye go to possess it. {4:6} Keep therefore and do
[them;] for this [is] your wisdom and your understanding in the sight
of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely
this great nation [is] a wise and understanding people. {4:7} For what
nation [is there so] great, who [hath] God [so] nigh unto them, as the
LORD our God [is] in all [things that] we call upon him [for? ]{4:8}
And what nation [is there so] great, that hath statutes and judgments
[so] righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? {4:9}
Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou
forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from
thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy
sons' sons; {4:10} [Specially] the day that thou stoodest before the
LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people
together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to
fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and [that]
they may teach their children. {4:11} And ye came near and stood under
the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of
heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness. {4:12} And the LORD
spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the
words, but saw no similitude; only [ye heard] a voice. {4:13} And he
declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform,
[even] ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.
{4:14} And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes
and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to
possess it. {4:15} Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye
saw no manner of similitude on the day [that] the LORD spake unto you
in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: {4:16} Lest ye corrupt
[yourselves,] and make you a graven image, the similitude of any
figure, the likeness of male or female, {4:17} The likeness of any
beast that [is] on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that
flieth in the air, {4:18} The likeness of any thing that creepeth on
the ground, the likeness of any fish that [is] in the waters beneath
the earth: {4:19} And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and
when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, [even] all the
host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them,
which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole
heaven. {4:20} But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out
of the iron furnace, [even] out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of
inheritance, as [ye are] this day. {4:21} Furthermore the LORD was
angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over
Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD
thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance: {4:22} But I must die in this
land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that
good land. {4:23} Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the
covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a
graven image, [or] the likeness of any [thing,] which the LORD thy God
hath forbidden thee. {4:24} For the LORD thy God [is] a consuming fire,
[even] a jealous God.
{4:25} When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and
ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt
[yourselves,] and make a graven image, [or] the likeness of any
[thing,] and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke
him to anger: {4:26} I call heaven and earth to witness against you
this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto
ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong [your] days upon
it, but shall utterly be destroyed. {4:27} And the LORD shall scatter
you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the
heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you. {4:28} And there ye shall
serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see,
nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. {4:29} But if from thence thou shalt seek
the LORD thy God, thou shalt find [him,] if thou seek him with all thy
heart and with all thy soul. {4:30} When thou art in tribulation, and
all these things are come upon thee, [even] in the latter days, if thou
turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; {4:31}
(For the LORD thy God [is] a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee,
neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he
sware unto them. {4:32} For ask now of the days that are past, which
were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth,
and [ask] from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there
hath been [any such thing] as this great thing [is,] or hath been heard
like it? {4:33} Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking out of
the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live? {4:34} Or hath God
assayed to go [and] take him a nation from the midst of another
[nation,] by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by
a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors,
according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before
your eyes? {4:35} Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that
the LORD he [is] God; [there is] none else beside him. {4:36} Out of
heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and
upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words
out of the midst of the fire. {4:37} And because he loved thy fathers,
therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his
sight with his mighty power out of Egypt; {4:38} To drive out nations
from before thee greater and mightier than thou [art,] to bring thee
in, to give thee their land [for] an inheritance, as [it is] this day.
{4:39} Know therefore this day, and consider [it] in thine heart, that
the LORD he [is] God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath:
[there is] none else. {4:40} Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes,
and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go
well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest
prolong [thy] days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee,
for ever.
{4:41} Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward
the sunrising; {4:42} That the slayer might flee thither, which should
kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that
fleeing unto one of these cities he might live: {4:43} [Namely,] Bezer
in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth
in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.
{4:44} And this is the law which Moses set before the children of
Israel: {4:45} These [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the
judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they
came forth out of Egypt, {4:46} On this side Jordan, in the valley over
against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt
at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they
were come forth out of Egypt: {4:47} And they possessed his land, and
the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which [were]
on this side Jordan toward the sunrising; {4:48} From Aroer, which [is]
by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which [is]
Hermon, {4:49} And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even
unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
Deuteronomy Chapter 8
Why God only fed the Israelite's MANNA while they were in the wilderness 40 years:
{8:3} And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed
thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know;
that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but
by every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man
live.
Mark Chapter 2
{2:16} And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is itthat he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? {2:17} When Jesus heard [it,] he saith unto them, They that are whole have no needof the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Numbers Chapter 18
[These passages denote tithing for the Levite's service to the sanctuary]
{18:20} 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.
{18:21} 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. {18:22} Neither must
the children of Israel henceforth come nigh the tabernacle of the
congregation, lest they bear sin, and die. {18:23} 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. {18:24} 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.
{18:25} And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, {18:26} 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. {18:27} 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. {18:28} 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. {18:29} 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. {18:30} 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. {18:31} 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. {18:32}
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.
Matthew Chapter 23:
{23:1} Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
{23:2} Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: {23:3}
All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, [that] observe and do;
but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. {23:4} 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. {23:5} But all their works they do for to be seen of
men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of
their garments, {23:6} And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the
chief seats in the synagogues, {23:7} And greetings in the markets, and
to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. {23:8} But be not ye called Rabbi:
for one is your Master, [even] Christ; and all ye are brethren. {23:9}
And call no [man] your father upon the earth: for one is your Father,
which is in heaven. {23:10} Neither be ye called masters: for one is
your Master, [even] Christ. {23:11} But he that is greatest among you
shall be your servant. {23:12} And whosoever shall exalt himself shall
be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
{23:13} 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.
{23:14} 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. {23:15} 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. {23:16} 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! {23:17} [Ye]
fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that
sanctifieth the gold? {23:18} And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar,
it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he
is guilty. {23:19} [Ye] fools and blind: for whether [is] greater, the
gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift? {23:20} Whoso therefore
shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
{23:21} And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him
that dwelleth therein. {23:22} And he that shall swear by heaven,
sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. {23:23}
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. {23:24} [Ye] blind guides, which strain
at a gnat, and swallow a camel. {23:25} 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. {23:26}
[Thou] blind Pharisee, cleanse first that [which is] within the cup and
platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. {23:27} 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. {23:28} Even so ye also
outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of
hypocrisy and iniquity. {23:29} Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the
sepulchres of the righteous, {23:30} 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. {23:31} Wherefore ye be witnesses unto
yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
{23:32} Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. {23:33} [Ye]
serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of
hell?
{23:34} 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: {23:35} 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. {23:36} Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon
this generation. {23:37} 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! {23:38} Behold, your
house is left unto you desolate. {23:39} 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.
Numbers 8:13 - 8:19
{8:13} And thou shalt set the Levites before Aaron, and before his sons, and offer them [for] an offering
unto the LORD.
{8:14} Thus shalt thou separate the Levites from among the children of Israel: and the Levites shall be mine.
{8:15} And after that shall the Levites go in to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation: and thou shalt cleanse them, and offer them [for] an offering.
{8:16} For they [are] wholly given unto me from among the children of Israel; instead of such as open every womb, [even instead of] the firstborn of all the children of Israel, have I taken them unto me. {8:17} For all the firstborn of the children of Israel [are] mine, [both] man and beast: on the day that I smote every firstborn in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for myself.
{8:18} And I have taken the Levites for all the firstborn of the children of Israel.
{8:19} And I have given the Levites [as] a gift to Aaron and to his sons from among the children of Israel, to do the service of the children of Israel in the tabernacle of the congregation, and to make an atonement for the children of Israel: that there be no plague among the children of Israel, when the children of Israel come nigh unto the sanctuary.
Numbers 3:12:
And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine; {3:13} Because all the firstborn [are] mine; [for] on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: I [am] the LORD.
Leviticus 26:
{26:1} Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up [any] image of stone inyour land, to bow down unto it: for I [am] the LORD your God.
{26:2} Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I [am] the LORD.
{26:3} If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
{26:4} Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
{26:5} And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
{26:6} And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make [you] afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.
{26:7} And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
{26:8} And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
{26:9} For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.
{26:10} And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.
{26:11} And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.
{26:12} And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
{26:13} I [am] the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.
{26:14} But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;
{26:15} And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, [but] that ye break my covenant:
{26:16} I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
{26:17} And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.
{26:18} And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for
your sins.
{26:19} And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:
{26:20} And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
{26:21} And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
{26:22} I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your [high] ways shall be desolate.
{26:23} And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;
{26:24} Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.
{26:25} And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of [my] covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
{26:26}[And] when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver [you] your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
{26:27} And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
{26:28} Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
{26:29} And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.
{26:30} And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
{26:31} And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.
{26:32} And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.
{26:33} And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
{26:34} Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; [even] then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
{26:35} As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt
upon it.
{26:36} And upon them that are left [alive] of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
{26:37} And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
{26:38} And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
{26:39} And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enem es' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
{26:40} If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;
{26:41} And [that] I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their
enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
{26:42} Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.
{26:43} The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.
{26:44} And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I [am] the LORD their God.
{26:45} But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I [am] the LORD.

{20:3} And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name.
{20:4} And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not:

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought [free of charge]; but wrought [worked] with labour and travail [toll] night and day, that we might not be chargeable [a burden] to any of you:
Not because we have not power [authority], but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
Yet count [him] not as an enemy, but admonish [warn] him as a brother.

[Which is] a manifest token [plain evidence] of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
2nd Thessalonians 2:1-2:11
Now we beseech [ask] you, brethren, by [concerning] the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by [concerning] our gathering together unto him,
That you be no 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. [had come].
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;
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.
Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
And now ye know what withholdeth [is restraining] that he might be revealed in his time. [the Holy Spirit]
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [will let,] until he be taken out of the way.
And then shall that Wicked [lawless one] be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit [breath] of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
[Even him,] whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
And with all deceivableness [unrighteous deception] of unrighteousness in [among] them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a [the] lie:
