Revelation 22
18 For I testifie vnto euery man that heareth the wordes of the prophesie of this booke, If any man shal adde vnto these things, God shall adde vnto him the plagues, that are written in this booke.
19 And if any man shall take away from the wordes of the booke of this prophesie, God shal take away his part out of the booke of life, and out of the holy citie, and from the things which are written in this booke.
2 Peter 1
16 For wee haue not followed cunningly deuised fables, when wee made knowen vnto you the power and comming of our Lord Iesus Christ, but were eye witnesses of his Maiestie.
17 For hee receiued from God the Father, honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloued Sonne in whom I am well pleased.
18 And this voice which came from heauen wee heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
19 We haue also a more sure word of prophecie, whereunto yee doe well that ye take heede, as vnto a light that shineth in a darke place, vntill the day dawne, and the day starre arise in your hearts:
20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any priuate Interpretation:
21 For the prophecie came not in olde time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moued by the holy Ghost.
1 John 2
4 He that saith, I knowe him, and keepeth not his commandements, is a lyer, and the trueth is not in him.
Exodus 20
1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the Lord thy God, which haue brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:
3 Thou shalt haue no other Gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make vnto thee any grauen Image, or any likenesse of any thing that is in heauen aboue, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water vnder the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow downe thy selfe to them, nor serue them: For I the Lord thy God am a iealous God, visiting the iniquitie of the fathers vpon the children, vnto the thirde and fourth generation of them that hate me:
6 And shewing mercy vnto thousands of them that loue mee, and keepe my Commandements.
7 Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vaine: for the Lord will not holde him guiltlesse, that taketh his Name in vaine.
8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keepe it holy.
9 Sixe dayes shalt thou labour, and doe all thy worke:
10 But the seuenth day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not doe any worke, thou, nor thy sonne, nor thy daughter, thy man seruant, nor thy mayd seruant, nor thy cattell, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in sixe dayes the Lord made heauen and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seuenth day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and halowed it.
12¶ Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy dayes may bee long vpon the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steale.
16 Thou shalt not beare false witnes against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not couet thy neighbours house, thou shalt not couet thy neighbours wife, nor his man seruant, nor his maid seruant, nor his oxe, nor his asse, nor any thing that is thy neighbours.
1 John 5
6 This is hee that came by water and blood, euen Iesus Christ, not by water onely, but by water and blood: and it is the Spirit that beareth witnesse, because the Spirit is trueth.
7 For there are three that beare record in heauen, the Father, the Word, and the holy Ghost: and these three are one.
8 And there are three that beare witnesse in earth, the Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood, and these three agree in one.
2 John 1
9 Whosoeuer transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God: hee that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Sonne.
10 If there come any vnto you, and bring not this doctrine, receiue him not into your house, neither bid him, God speed.
11 For hee that biddeth him God speed, is partaker of his euill deeds.
Isaiah 55
8¶ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your wayes my wayes, saith the Lord.
9 For as the heauens are higher then the earth, so are my wayes higher then your wayes, and my thoughts then your thouhts.
10 For as the raine commeth down, and the snow from heauen, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring foorth and bud, that it may giue seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word bee that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not returne vnto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Malachi 3
14 Ye haue said, It is vaine to serue God: and what profit is it, that we haue kept his ordinance, and that wee haue walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?
15 And now we call the proud happy: yea, they that worke wickednes are set vp, yea they that tempt God, are euen deliuered.
16¶ Then they that feared the Lord, spake often one to another, and the Lord hearkened and heard it, & a booke of remembrance was written before him, for them that feared the Lord, & that thought vpon his name.
17 And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make vp my iewels, and I wil spare them as a man spareth his owne sonne that serueth him.
18 Then shall yee returne and discerne betweene the righteous and the wicked, betweene him that serueth God, and him that serueth him not.
Romans 8
33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect? It is God that iustifieth:
34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather that is risen againe, who is euen at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for vs.
Romans 16
17 Now I beseech you, brethren, marke them which cause diuisions and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye haue learned, and auoide them.
18 For they that are such, serue not our Lord Iesus Christ, but their owne belly, and by good wordes and faire speeches deceiue the hearts of the simple.
1 Corinthians 14
33 For God is not the authour of confusion, but of peace, as in all Churches of the Saints.
34 Let your women keepe silence in the Churches, for it is not permitted vnto them to speake; but they are commanded to bee vnder obedience: as also saith the Law.
35 And if they will learne any thing, let them aske their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speake in the Church.
36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it vnto you onely?
37 If any man thinke himselfe to be a Prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge, that the things that I write vnto you, are the commandements of the Lord.
38 But if any man bee ignorant, let him be ignorant.
1 Timothy 5
8 But if any prouide not for his owne, & specially for those of his owne house, hee hath denied the faith, and is worse then an infidel.
1 Timothy 5
21 I charge thee before God, and the Lord Iesus Christ, and the elect Angels, that thou obserue these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partialitie.
1 Timothy 6
3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, euen the wordes of our Lord Iesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godlinesse:
4 Hee is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions, and strifes of wordes, whereof commeth enuie, strife, railings, euill surmisings,
5 Peruerse disputings of men of corrupt mindes, and destitute of the trueth, supposing that gaine is godlinesse: From such withdraw thy selfe.
6 But godlinesse with contentment is great gaine.
2 Timothy 3
1 This know also, that in the last dayes perillous times shall come.
2 For men shall bee louers of their owne selues, couetous, boasters, proude, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, vnthankfull, vnholy,
3 Without naturall affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitours, heady, high minded, louers of pleasures more then louers of God,
5 Hauing a forme of godlinesse, but denying the power thereof: from such turne away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and leade captiue silly women laden with sinnes, led away with diuers lusts,
7 Euer learning, and neuer able to come to the knowledge of the trueth.
1 Samuel 8
1And it came to passe, when Samuel was old, that he made his sonnes Iudges ouer Israel.
2Now the name of his first borne was Ioel, and the name of his second, Abiah: they were Iudges in Beer-sheba.
3And his sonnes walked not in his wayes, but turned aside after lucre, and tooke bribes, & peruerted iudgement.
4Then all the Elders of Israel gathered themselues together, and came to Samuel vnto Ramah,
5And said vnto him, Behold, thou art olde, and thy sonnes walke not in thy wayes: now make vs a King to iudge vs, like all the nations.
6¶ But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Giue vs a King to iudge vs: and Samuel prayed vnto the Lord.
7And the Lord said vnto Samuel, Hearken vnto the voyce of the people in all that they say vnto thee: for they haue not reiected thee, but they haue reiected mee, that I should not reigne ouer them.
8According to all the works which they haue done since the day that I brought them vp out of Egypt euen vnto this day, wherewith they haue forsaken me, and serued other gods: so doe they also vnto thee.
9Nowe therefore hearken vnto their voyce: howbeit, yet protest solemnly vnto them, and shew them the maner of the King that shall reigne ouer them.
10¶ And Samuel told all the words of the Lord vnto the people, that asked of him a King.
11And hee sayd, This will be the maner of the king that shall reigne ouer you: Hee will take your sonnes, and appoint them for himselfe for his charets, and to bee his horsemen, and some shall runne before his charets.
12And hee will appoint him Captaines ouer thousands, and captaines ouer fifties, and will set them to eare his ground, and to reape his haruest, and to make his instruments of warre, and instruments of his charets.
13And he will take your daughters to be confectionaries, and to be cookes, and to be bakers.
14And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your oliue-yards, euen the best of them, and giue them to his seruants.
15And he will take the tenth of your seed, and of your vineyards, and giue to his officers, and to his seruants.
16And hee will take your men seruants, and your mayd seruants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his worke.
17Hee will take the tenth of your sheepe, and ye shall be his seruants.
18And ye shall cry out in that day, because of your king which ye shall haue chosen you; and the Lord will not heare you in that day.
19¶ Neuerthelesse, the people refused to obey the voyce of Samuel; and they said, Nay, but we will haue a King ouer vs:
20That we also may be like all the nations, and that our King may iudge vs, and goe out before vs, and fight our battels.
1 Samuel 15
1Samuel also saide vnto Saul, The Lord sent me to annoint thee to bee king ouer his people, ouer Israel: nowe therefore hearken thou vnto the voyce of the words of the Lord.
2Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I remember that which Amalek did to Israel, how he laid wait for him in the way when he came vp from Egypt.
3Now goe, and smite Amalek, and vtterly destroy all that they haue, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, oxe and sheepe, camell and asse.
4And Saul gathered the people together, and numbred them in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of Iudah.
5And Saul came to a citie of Amalek, and laid waite in the valley.
6¶ And Saul saide vnto the Kenites, Goe, depart, get you downe from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them: for yee shewed kindnesse to all the children of Israel when they came vp out of Egypt. So the
Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.
7And Saul smote the Amalekites from Hauilah, vntill thou commest to Shur, that is ouer against Egypt.
8And hee tooke Agag the king of the Amalekites aliue, and vtterly destroyed all the people with the edge of the sword.
9But Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the sheepe, and of the oxen, and of the fatlings, and the lambes, and all that was good, and would not vtterly destroy them: but euery thing that was vile, and
refuse, that they destroyed vtterly.
10¶ Then came the word of the Lord vnto Samuel, saying;
11It repenteth me that I haue set vp Saul to be king: for hee is turned backe from following me, and hath not performed my commandements. And it grieued Samuel; and he cried vnto the Lord all night.
12And when Samuel rose early to meet Saul in the morning, it was tolde Samuel, saying, Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set him vp a place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone downe to Gilgal.
13And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said vnto him, Blessed be thou of the Lord: I haue performed the commandement of the Lord.
14And Samuel said, What meaneth then this bleating of the sheepe in mine eares, and the lowing of the oxen which I heare?
15And Saul sayde, They haue brought them from the Amalekites: for the people spared the best of the sheepe, and of the oxen, to sacrifice vnto the Lord thy God, and the rest we haue vtterly destroyed.
16Then Samuel sayd vnto Saul, Stay, and I will tell thee what the Lord hath said to mee this night. And he said vnto him, Say on.
17And Samuel said, When thou wast litle in thine owne sight, wast thou not made the Head of the tribes of Israel, and the Lord anointed thee King ouer Israel?
18And the Lord sent thee on a iourney, and said, Goe, and vtterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against them, vntill they be consumed.
19Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of the Lord, but didst flie vpon the spoile, and didst euill in the sight of the Lord ?
20And Saul said vnto Samuel; Yea, I haue obeyed the voice of the Lord, and haue gone the way which the Lord sent me, and haue brought Agag the king of Amalek, and haue vtterly destroyed the Amalekites.
21But the people tooke of the spoile, sheepe and oxen, the chiefe of the things which should haue bene vtterly destroyed, to sacrifice vnto the Lord thy God in Gilgal.
22And Samuel saide, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord ? Behold, to obey, is better then sacrifice: and to hearken, then the fat of rammes.
23For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubburnnesse is as iniquitie and idolatrie: because thou hast reiected the word of the Lord, he hath also reiected thee from being king.
24¶ And Saul said vnto Samuel, I haue sinned: for I haue transgressed the Commandement of the Lord, and thy wordes; because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice.
25Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sinne, and turne againe with me, that I may worship the Lord.
26And Samuel said vnto Saul, I will not returne with thee: for thou hast reiected the word of the Lord, and the Lord hath reiected thee from being king ouer Israel.
27And as Samuel turned about to goe away, he laid hold vpon the skirt of his mantle, and it rent.
28And Samuel said vnto him, The Lord hath rent the kingdome of Israel from thee this day, and hath giuen it to a neighbour of thine, that is better then thou.

Matthew 4
1Then was Iesus led vp of the Spirit into the wildernesse, to bee tempted of the deuill.
2And when hee had fasted forty dayes and forty nights, hee was afterward an hungred.
3And when the tempter came to him, hee said, If thou be the sonne of God, command that these stones bee made bread.
4But he answered, and said, It is written, Man shall not liue by bread alone, but by euery word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5Then the deuill taketh him vp into the holy Citie, and setteth him on a pinacle of the Temple,
6And saith vnto him, If thou bee the Sonne of God, cast thy selfe downe: For it is written, He shall giue his Angels charge concerning thee, & in their handes they shall beare thee vp, lest at any time thou dash thy foote against a stone.
7Iesus said vnto him, It is written againe, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Matthew 5
3 Blessed are the poore in spirit: for theirs is the kingdome of heauen.
Matthew 5
4 Blessed are they that mourne: for they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5
5 Blessed are the meeke: for they shall inherit the earth.
Matthew 5
6 Blessed are they which doe hunger and thirst after righteousnesse: for they shall be filled.
Matthew 5
7 Blessed are the mercifull: for they shall obtaine mercie.
Matthew 5
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Matthew 5
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall bee called the children of God.
Matthew 5
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousnesse sake: for theirs is the kingdome of heauen.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall reuile you, and persecute you, and shal say all manner of euill against you falsly for my sake.
12 Reioyce, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heauen: For so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you.
Matthew 5
13 ¶ Yee are the salt of the earth: But if the salt haue lost his sauour, wherewith shall it bee salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be troden vnder foote of men.
14 Yee are the light of the world. A citie that is set on an hill, cannot be hid.
15 Neither doe men light a candle, and put it vnder a bushell: but on a candlesticke, and it giueth light vnto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good workes, and glorifie your father which is in heauen.
Matthew 5
17 ¶ Thinke not that I am come to destroy the lawe or the Prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 For verily I say vnto you, Till heauen and earth passe, one iote or one title, shall in no wise passe from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoeuer therfore shall breake one of these least commaundements, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdome of heauen: but whosoeuer shall doe, and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdome of heauen.
20 For I say vnto you, That except your righteousnesse shall exceede the righteousnesse of the Scribes and Pharisees, yee shall in no case enter into the kingdome of heauen.
Matthew 5
27 ¶ Yee haue heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adulterie.
28 But I say vnto you, That whosoeuer looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath committed adulterie with her already in his heart.
29 And if thy right eie offend thee, plucke it out, and cast it from thee. For it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee. For it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Matthew 5
31It hath beene said, Whosoeuer shall put away his wife, let him giue her a writing of diuorcement.
32But I say vnto you, that whosoeuer shall put away his wife, sauing for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoeuer shall marie her that is diuorced, committeth adulterie.
Matthew 5
33 ¶ Againe, yee haue heard that it hath beene said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forsweare thy selfe, but shalt performe vnto the Lord thine othes.
34 But I say vnto you, Sweare not at all, neither by heauen, for it is Gods throne:
35 Nor by the earth, for it is his footstoole: neither by Hierusalem, for it is the citie of the great king.
36 Neither shalt thou sweare by thy head, because thou canst not make one haire white or blacke.
37 But let your communication bee Yea, yea: Nay, nay: For whatsoeuer is more then these, commeth of euill.
Matthew 6
1 Take heed that yee doe not your almes before men, to bee seene of them: otherwise yee haue no reward of your father which is in heauen.
2 Therefore, when thou doest thine almes, doe not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites doe, in the Synagogues, and in the streetes, that they may haue glory of men. Uerily, I say vnto you, they haue their reward.
3 But when thou doest almes, let not thy left hand know, what thy right doeth:
4 That thine almes may be in secret: And thy father which seeth in secret, himselfe shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 6
5 ¶ And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they loue to pray standing in the Synagogues, and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seene of men. Uerily I say vnto you, they haue their reward.
6 But thou when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy doore, pray to thy father which is in secret, and thy father which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
7 But when yee pray, vse not vaine repetitions, as the heathen doe. For they thinke that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not yee therefore like vnto them: For your father knoweth what things yee haue neede of, before yee aske him.
Matthew 6
9 After this maner therefore pray yee: Our father which art in heauen, hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdome come. Thy will be done, in earth, as it is in heauen.
11 Giue vs this day our daily bread.
12 And forgiue vs our debts, as we forgiue our debters.
13 And lead vs not into temptation, but deliuer vs from euill: For thine is the kingdome, and the power, and the glory, for euer, Amen.
14 For, if yee forgiue men their trespasses, your heauenly father will also forgiue you.
15 But, if yee forgiue not men their trespasses, neither will your father forgiue your trespasses.
Matthew 6
16 ¶ Moreouer, when yee fast, be not as the Hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appeare vnto men to fast: Uerily I say vnto you, they haue their reward.
17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face:
18 That thou appeare not vnto men to fast, but vnto thy father which is in secret: and thy father which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
Matthew 6
24 ¶ No man can serue two masters: for either he will hate the one and loue the other, or else hee will holde to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serue God and Mammon.
Matthew 6
25 Therfore I say vnto you, Take no thought for your life, what yee shall eate, or what ye shall drinke, nor yet for your body, what yee shall put on: Is not the life more then meate? and the body then raiment?
26 Behold the foules of the aire: for they sow not, neither do they reape, nor gather into barnes, yet your heauenly father feedeth them. Are yee not much better then they?
27 Which of you by taking thought, can adde one cubite vnto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lillies of the field, how they grow: they toile not, neither doe they spinne.
29 And yet I say vnto you, that euen Solomon in all his glory, was not arayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grasse of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the ouen: shall he not much more clothe you, O yee of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eate? or, what shall we drinke? or wherewithall shall wee be clothed?
32 (For after all these things doe the Gentiles seeke:) for your heauenly father knoweth that ye haue neede of all these things.
33 But seeke ye first the kingdome of God, and his righteousnesse, and all these things shalbe added vnto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of it selfe: sufficient vnto the day is the euill thereof.
Matthew 7
1 Iudge not, that ye be not iudged.
2 For with what iudgment ye iudge, yee shall be iudged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you againe.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye, but considerest not the beame that is in thine owne eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let mee pull out the mote out of thine eye, and beholde, a beame is in thine owne eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beame out of thine owne eye: and then shalt thou see clearely to cast out the mote out of thy brothers eye.
Matthew 7
6¶ Giue not that which is holy vnto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearles before swine: lest they trample them vnder their feete, and turne againe and rent you.
Matthew 7
15 ¶ Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheepes clothing, but inwardly they are rauening wolues.
16 Yee shall knowe them by their fruits: Doe men gather grapes of thornes, or figges of thistles?
17 Euen so, euery good tree bringeth forth good fruit: but a corrupt tree bringeth forth euill fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth euil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Euery tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, is hewen downe, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Matthew 7
21 ¶ Not euery one that saith vnto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdome of heauen: but he that doth the will of my father which is in heauen.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, haue we not prophecied in thy name? and in thy name haue cast out deuils? and in thy name done many wonderfull works?
23 And then wil I professe vnto them, I neuer knew you: Depart from me, ye that worke iniquity.
Matthew 7
24 ¶ Therefore, whosoeuer heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I wil liken him vnto a wise man, which built his house vpon a rocke:
25 And the raine descended, and the floods came, and the windes blew, and beat vpon that house: and it fell not, for it was founded vpon a rocke.
26 And euery one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall bee likened vnto a foolish man, which built his house vpon the sand:
27 And the raine descended, and the floods came, and the windes blew, and beat vpon that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.
Matthew 8
1 When he was come downe from the Mountaine, great multitudes folowed him.
2 And behold, there came a leper, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, If thou wilt, thou canst make me cleane.
3 And Iesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will, bee thou cleane. And immediately his leprosie was cleansed.
4 And Iesus saith vnto him, See thou tell no man, but go thy way, shew thy selfe to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimonie vnto them.
Matthew 8
5 ¶ And when Iesus was entred into Capernaum, there came vnto him a Centurion, beseeching him,
6 And saying, Lord, my seruant lieth at home sicke of the palsie, grieuously tormented.
7 And Iesus saith vnto him, I will come, and heale him.
8 The Centurion answered, and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come vnder my roofe: but speake the word onely, and my seruant shalbe healed.
9 For I am a man vnder authority, hauing souldiers vnder me: and I say to this man, Goe, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and he commeth: and to my seruant, Doe this, and he doth it.
10 When Iesus heard it, he marueiled, and said to them that followed, Uerely, I say vnto you, I haue not found so great faith, no not in Israel.
11 And I say vnto you, that many shall come from the East and West, and shal sit downe with Abraham, and Isaac, & Iacob, in the kingdome of heauen:
12 But the children of the kingdome shall be cast out into outer darkenesse: there shalbe weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13 And Iesus said vnto the Centurion, Go thy way, and as thou hast beleeued, so be it done vnto thee. And his seruant was healed in the self same houre.
Matthew 8
14¶ And when Iesus was come into Peters house, hee saw his wiues mother laid, and sicke of a feuer:
15And he touched her hand, and the feuer left her: and she arose, and ministred vnto them.
Matthew 9
10 ¶ And it came to passe, as Iesus sate at meate in the house, behold, many publicanes and sinners, came and sate downe with him and his Disciples.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said vnto his disciples, Why eateth your master with publicanes & sinners.
12 But when Iesus heard that, hee said vnto them, They that be whole neede not a Physicion, but they that are sicke.
13 But goe ye and learne what that meaneth, I will haue mercy and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Matthew 9
35And Iesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their Synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdome, and healing euery sickenesse, and euery disease among the people.
36¶ But when he saw the multitudes, he was moued with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheepe hauing no shepheard.
37Then saith he vnto his disciples, The haruest truely is plenteous, but the labourers are few.
38Pray ye therefore the Lord of the haruest, that hee will send foorth labourers into his haruest.
Matthew 10
11And into whatsoeuer city or towne ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till yee goe thence.
12And when ye come into an house, salute it.
13And if the house be worthy, let your peace come vpon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace returne to you.
14And whosoeuer shall not receiue you, nor heare your words: when yee depart out of that house, or city, shake off the dust of your feete.
15Uerely I say vnto you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of iudgment, then for that citie.
Matthew 10
16¶ Behold, I send you foorth as sheepe in the middest of wolues: be yee therefore wise as serpents, and harmelesse as doues.
17But beware of men: for they will deliuer you vp to the Councils, and they will scourge you in their Synagogues,
18And yee shall be brought before Gouernours and Kings for my sake, for a testimonie against them, and the Gentiles.
19But when they deliuer you vp, take no thought, how or what ye shall speake, for it shall bee giuen you in that same houre what ye shall speake.
20For it is not yee that speake, but the Spirit of your Father, which speaketh in you.
21And the brother shall deliuer vp the brother to death, and the father the childe: and the children shall rise vp against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22And yee shall be hated of all men for my Names sake: but he that endureth to the end, shalbe saued.
Matthew 10
24The disciple is not aboue his master, nor the seruant aboue his lord.
Matthew 11
27All things are deliuered vnto me of my father: and no man knoweth the sonne but the father: neither knoweth any man the father, saue the sonne, and hee to whomsoeuer the sonne will reueile him.
Matthew 12
1At that time, Iesus went on the Sabbath day thorow the corne, & his Disciples were an hungred, and beganne to pluck the eares of corne, and to eate.
2But when the Pharises saw it, they said vnto him, Behold, thy Disciples doe that which is not lawfull to doe vpon the Sabbath day.
3But he said vnto them, Haue yee not read what Dauid did when hee was an hungred, and they that were with him,
4How he entred into the house of God, and did eate the shew bread, which was not lawfull for him to eate, neither for them which were with him, but, only for the Priests?
5Or haue yee not read in the law, how that on the Sabbath dayes the Priests in the Temple profane the Sabbath, and are blamelesse?
6But I saye vnto you, that in this place is one greater then the Temple.
7But if yee had knowen what this meaneth, I will haue mercy, and not sacrifice, yee would not haue condemned the guiltlesse.
8For the sonne of man is Lord euen of the Sabbath day.
9And when hee was departed thence, he went into their Synagogue.
10¶ And behold, there was a man which had his hand withered, and they asked him, saying, Is it lawfull to heale on the Sabbath dayes? that they might accuse him.
11And hee said vnto them, What man shal there be among you, that shall haue one sheepe: and if it fall into a pit on the Sabbath day, will hee not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
12How much then is a man better then a shepe? Wherfore it is lawfull to doe well on the Sabbath dayes.
13Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand: and hee stretched it forth, and it was restored whole, like as the other.
Matthew 12
30He that is not with me, is against me: and hee that gathereth not with me, scattereth abroad.
Matthew 12
31¶ Wherefore I say vnto you, All maner of sinne and blasphemie shall be forgiuen vnto men: but the blasphemie against the holy Ghost, shall not bee forgiuen vnto men.
32And whosoeuer speaketh a word against the sonne of man, it shall be forgiuen him: but whosoeuer speaketh against the holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiuen him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
33Either make the tree good, and his fruit good: Or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: For the tree is knowen by his fruit.
34O generation of vipers, how can ye, being euil, speake good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35A good man out of the good treasure of the heart, bringeth foorth good things: and an euill man out of the euill treasure, bringeth foorth euill things.
Matthew 12
36But I say vnto you, That euery idle word that men shall speake, they shall giue accompt thereof in the day of Iudgement.
37For by thy wordes thou shalt bee iustified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Matthew 12
46¶ While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speake with him.
47Then one saide vnto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speake with thee.
48But he answered, and said vnto him that told him, Who is my mother? And who are my brethren?
49And hee stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold, my mother and my brethren.
50For whosoeuer shall doe the will of my Father which is in heauen, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
Matthew 13
1The same day went Iesus out of the house, and sate by the sea side.
2And great multitudes were gathered together vnto him, so that hee went into a ship, and sate, and the whole multitude stood on the shore.
3And hee spake many things vnto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went foorth to sow.
4And when he sowed, some seedes fell by the wayes side, and the foules came, and deuoured them vp.
5Some fell vpon stony places, where they had not much earth: and foorth with they sprung vp, because they had no deepenesse of earth.
6And when the Sunne was vp, they were scorched: and because they had not root, they withered away.
7And some fell among thorns: and the thornes sprung vp, & choked them.
8But other fell into good ground, and brought foorth fruit, some an hundred folde, some sixtie folde, some thirty folde.
9Who hath eares to heare, let him heare.
10And the disciples came, and sayd vnto him, Why speakest thou vnto them in parables?
11He answered, and said vnto them, Because it is giuen vnto you to know the mysteries of the kingdome of heauen, but to them it is not giuen.
12For whosoeuer hath, to him shall be giuen, and he shall haue more abundance: but whosoeuer hath not, from him shall be taken away, euen that hee hath.
13Therefore speake I to then in parables: because they seeing, see not: and hearing, they heare not, neither doe they vnderstand.
14And in them is fulfilled the prophecie of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall heare, and shall not vnderstand: and seeing yee shall see, and shall not perceiue.
15For this peoples heart is waxed grosse, and their eares are dull of hearing, and their eyes they haue closed, lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and heare with their eares, and should vnderstand with their heart, and should be conuerted, and I should heale them.
16But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your eares, for they heare.
17For verely I say vnto you, that many Prophets, and righteous men haue desired to see those things which yee see, and haue not seene them: and to heare those things which ye heare, and haue not heard them.
18¶ Heare ye therefore the parable of the sower.
19When any one heareth the word of the kingdome, and vnderstandeth it not, then commeth the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sowen in his heart: this is hee which receiued seede by the way side.
20But he that receiued the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, & anon with ioy receiueth it:
21Yet hath hee not root in himselfe, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
22He also that receiued seed among the thorns, is he that heareth the word, and the care of this world, and the deceitfulnesse of riches choke the word, and he becommeth vnfruitfull.
23But he that receiued seed into the good ground, is hee that heareth the word, and vnderstandeth it, which also beareth fruit, and bringeth foorth, some an hundred fold, some sixtie, some thirty.
Matthew 13
31¶ Another parable put he foorth vnto them, saying, The kingdome of heauen is like to a graine of mustard seed, which a man tooke, and sowed in his field.
32Which indeed is the least of al seeds: but when it is growen, it is the greatest among herbes, and becommeth a tree: so that the birds of the aire come and lodge in the branches thereof.
Matthew 13
33¶ Another parable spake he vnto them, The kingdome of heauen is like vnto leauen, which a woman tooke, and hid in three measures of meale, till the whole was leauened.
34All these things spake Iesus vnto the multitude in parables, and without a parable spake hee not vnto them:
35That it might bee fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables, I wil vtter things which haue bin kept secret from the foundation of the world.
36Then Iesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came vnto him, saying, Declare vnto vs the parable of the tares of the field.
37He answered, and said vnto them, Hee that soweth the good seed, is the sonne of man.
38The field is the world. The good seed, are the children of the kingdome: but the tares are the children of the wicked one.
39The enemie that sowed them, is the deuill. The haruest, is the ende of the world. And the reapers are the Angels.
40As therefore the tares are gathered and burnt in the fire: so shall it be in the end of this world.
41The Sonne of man shall send forth his Angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdome all things that offend, and them which doe iniquitie:
42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wayling and gnashing of teeth.
43Then shall the righteous shine foorth as the Sunne, in the kingdome of their father. Who hath eares to heare, let him heare.
Matthew 13
44¶ Againe, the kingdome of heauen is like vnto treasure hid in a field: the which when a man hath found, hee hideth, and for ioy thereof goeth and selleth all that hee hath, and buyeth that field.
Matthew 13
45¶ Againe, the kingdome of heauen is like vnto a marchant man, seeking goodly pearles:
46Who when hee had found one pearle of great price, he went and solde all that he had, and bought it.
Matthew 13
47¶ Againe, the kingdome of heauen is like vnto a net that was cast into the sea, and gathered of euery kind,
48Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sate downe, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away.
49So shall it be at the ende of the world: the Angels shal come forth, and seuer the wicked from among the iust,
50And shal cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing, and gnashing of teeth.
Matthew 13
52Then said he vnto them, Therefore euery Scribe which is instructed vnto the kingdom of heauen, is like vnto a man that is an housholder, which bringeth foorth out of his treasure things new and old.
Matthew 13
53¶ And it came to passe, that when Iesus had finished these parables, hee departed thence.
54And when hee was come into his owne countrey, he taught them in their Synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisedome, and these mighty works?
55Is not this the Carpenters sonne? Is not his mother called Marie? and his brethren, Iames, and Ioses, and Simon, and Iudas?
56And his sisters, are they not all with vs? whence then hath this man all these things?
57And they were offended in him. But Iesus said vnto them, A Prophet is not without honour, saue in his owne countrey, and in his owne house.
58And hee did not many mighty workes there, because of their vnbeliefe.
Matthew 16
24¶ Then said Iesus vnto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him denie himselfe, and take vp his crosse, and follow me.
25For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: and whosoeuer will lose his his life for my sake, shall finde it.
26For what is a man profited, if hee shal gaine the whole world, and lose his owne soule? Or what shall a man giue in exchange for his soule?
27For the sonne of man shall come in the glory of his father, with his Angels: and then he shall reward euery man according to his works.
Matthew 17
14¶ And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certaine man, kneeling downe to him, and saying,
15Lord, haue mercie on my sonne, for he is lunatike, and sore vexed: for oft times he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
16And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17Then Iesus answered, and said, O faithlesse and peruerse generation, how long shall I bee with you? howe long shal I suffer you? bring him hither to me.
18And Iesus rebuked the deuill, and hee departed out of him: and the childe was cured from that very houre.
Matthew 18
1At the same time came the Disciples vnto Iesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the Kingdome of heauen?
2And Iesus called a little child vnto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3And said, Uerily I say vnto you, Except yee be conuerted, and become as little children, yee shall not enter into the kingdome of heauen.
4Whosoeuer therefore shall humble himselfe as this little childe, the same is greatest in the Kingdome of heauen.
5And who so shall receiue one such little child in my name, receiueth me.
6But who so shall offend one of these little ones which beleeue in me, it were better for him that a milstone were hanged about his necke, and that hee were drowned in the depth of the Sea.
Matthew 18
7¶ Woe vnto the world because of offences: for it must needs be that offences come: but wo to that man by whom the offence commeth.
Matthew 18
10Take heed that yee despise not one of these little ones: for I say vnto you, that in heauen their Angels do alwaies behold the face of my father which is in heauen.
11For the sonne of man is come to saue that which was lost.
12How thinke yee? if a man haue an hundred sheepe, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leaue the ninetie and nine, and goeth into the mountaines, and seeketh that which is gone astray?
13And if so be that he find it, Uerily I say vnto you, hee reioyceth more of that sheepe, then of the ninetie and nine which went not astray.
14Euen so, it is not the will of your father which is in heauen, that one of these little ones should perish.
Matthew 18
15¶ Moreouer, if thy brother shall trespasse against thee, goe and tell him his fault betweene thee and him alone: if he shall heare thee, thou hast gained thy brother.
16But if he will not heare thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses, euery word may be established.
17And if hee shall neglect to heare them, tell it vnto the Church: But if he neglect to heare the Church, let him be vnto thee as an heathen man, and a Publicane.
Matthew 18
21¶ Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sinne against mee, and I forgiue him? till seuen times?
22Iesus saith vnto him, I say not vnto thee, Untill seuen times: but, Untill seuentie times seuen.
23¶ Therefore is the kingdome of heauen likened vnto a certaine king, which would take accompt of his seruants.
24And when hee had begun to reckon, one was brought vnto him which ought him ten thousand talents.
25But forasmuch as hee had not to pay, his lord commanded him to bee sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26The seruant therfore fell downe, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, haue patience with mee, and I will pay thee all.
27Then the Lord of that seruant was moued with compassion, and loosed him, and forgaue him the debt.
28But the same seruant went out, and found one of his fellow-seruants, which ought him an hundred pence: and hee layd handes on him, and tooke him by the throte, saying, Pay mee that thou owest.
29And his fellow seruant fell downe at his feete, and besought him, saying, Haue patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till hee should pay the debt.
31So when his fellow-seruants saw what was done, they were very sorie, and came, and told vnto their lord all that was done.
32Then his lord, after that hee had called him, said vnto him, O thou wicked seruant, I forgaue thee all that debt because thou desiredst me:
33Shouldest not thou also haue had compassion on thy fellow-seruant, euen as I had pitie on thee?
34And his lord was wroth, and deliuered him to the tormentors, till hee should pay all that was due vnto him.
35So likewise shall my heauenly Father doe also vnto you, if yee from your hearts forgiue not euery one his brother their trespasses.
Matthew 19
3¶ The Pharisees also came vnto him, tempting him, and saying vnto him, Is it lawfull for a man to put away his wife for euery cause?
4And hee answered, and said vnto them, Haue ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning, made them male and female?
5And said, For this cause shall a man leaue father and mother, and shall cleaue to his wife: and they twaine shalbe one flesh.
6Wherefore they are no more twaine, but one flesh. What therefore God hath ioyned together, let not man put asunder.
7They say vnto him, Why did Moses then command to giue a writing of diuorcement, and to put her away?
8Hee saith vnto them, Moses, because of the hardnesse of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wiues: but from the beginning it was not so.
9And I say vnto you, Whosoeuer shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away, doth commit adultery.
10¶ His disciples say vnto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marrie.
11But hee said vnto them, All men cannot receiue this saying, saue they to whom it is giuen.
12For there are some Eunuches, which were so borne from their mothers wombe: and there are some Eunuches, which were made Eunuches of men: and there be Eunuches, which haue made themselues Eunuches for the kingdome of heauens sake. He that is able to receiue it, let him receiue it.
Matthew 19
13¶ Then were there brought vnto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
14But Iesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come vnto me: for of such is þe kingdome of heauen.
Matthew 19
16¶ And behold, one came and said vnto him, Good master, what good thing shall I do, that I may haue eternall life?
17And he said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandements.
18He saith vnto him, Which? Iesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steale, Thou shalt not beare false witnesse,
19Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.
20The young man saith vnto him, All these things haue I kept from my youth vp: what lacke I yet?
21Iesus said vnto him, If thou wilt be perfect, goe and sell that thou hast, and giue to the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen: and come and follow me.
22But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowfull: for he had great possessions.
23¶ Then said Iesus vnto his disciples, Uerely I say vnto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdome of heauen.
24And againe I say vnto you, It is easier for a camel to goe thorow the eye of a needle, then for a rich man to enter into the kingdome of God.
25When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saued?
26But Iesus beheld them, and said vnto them, With men this is vnpossible, but with God al things are possible.
Matthew 19
29And euery one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my Names sake, shall receiue an hundred fold, and shall inherite euerlasting life.
30But many that are first, shall be last, and the last shall be first.
Matthew 20
1For the kingdome of heauen is like vnto a man that is an housholder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
2And when hee had agreed with the labourers for a peny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3And he went out about the third houre, and saw others standing idle in the market place,
4And said vnto them, Go ye also into the vineyard, & whatsoeuer is right, I wil giue you. And they went their way.
5Againe he went out about the sixth and ninth houre, and did likewise.
6And about the eleuenth houre, he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith vnto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
7They say vnto him, Because no man hath hired vs. He saith vnto them, Go ye also into the vineyard: and whatsoeuer is right, that shall ye receiue.
8So when euen was come, the lord of the vineyard saith vnto his Steward, Call the labourers, and giue them their hire, beginning from the last, vnto the first.
9And when they came that were hired about the eleuenth houre, they receiued euery man a penie.
10But when the first came, they supposed that they should haue receiued more, and they likewise receiued euery man a penie.
11And when they had receiued it, they murmured against the good man of the house,
12Saying, These last haue wrought but one houre, and thou hast made them equall vnto vs, which haue borne the burden, and heat of the day.
13But he answered one of them and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penie?
14Take that thine is, and goe thy way, I will giue vnto this last, euen as vnto thee.
15Is it not lawfull for mee to doe what I wil with mine owne? Is thine eye euill, because I am good?
16So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many bee called, but fewe chosen.
Matthew 20
20¶ Then came to him the mother of Zebedees children, with her sonnes, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
21And he said vnto her, What wilt thou? She saith vnto him, Grant, that these my two sonnes may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left in thy kingdome.
22But Iesus answered, and said, Ye know not what ye aske. Are ye able to drinke of the cup that I shall drinke of, and to be baptized with the baptisme that I am baptized with? They say vnto him, We are able.
23And he saith vnto them, Yee shall drinke indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptisme that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to giue, but it shall be giuen to them for whom it is prepared of my father.
24And when the ten heard it, they were moued with indignation against the two brethren.
25But Iesus called them vnto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion ouer them, and they that are great, exercise authoritie vpon them.
26But it shall not be so among you: But whosoeuer will bee great among you, let him be your minister.
27And whosoeuer will be chiefe among you, let him be your seruant.
28Euen as the Sonne of man came not to be ministred vnto, but minister, and to giue his life a ransome for many.
Matthew 21
12¶ And Iesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the Temple, and ouerthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that solde doues,
13And said vnto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer, but yee haue made it a denne of theeues.
Matthew 21
15And when the chiefe Priests and Scribes saw the wonderfull things that he did, & the children crying in the temple, & saying, Hosanna to the sonne of Dauid, they were sore displeased,
16And said vnto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Iesus saith vnto them, Yea, haue yee neuer read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
Matthew 21
18Now in the morning, as hee returned into the citie, he hungred.
19And when he saw a figge tree in the way, hee came to it, and found nothing thereon but leaues only, and said vnto it, Let no fruite growe on thee hence forward for euer. And presently the figge tree withered away.
20And when the Disciples saw it, they marueiled, saying, How soone is the figge tree withered away?
21Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Uerily I say vnto you, if yee haue faith, and doubt not, yee shall not onely doe this which is done to the figge tree, but also, if ye shall say vnto this mountaine, Be thou remoued, and be thou cast into the Sea, it shall be done.
22And all things whatsoeuer yee shall aske in prayer, beleeuing, ye shall receiue.
Matthew 21
23¶ And when he was come into the temple, the chiefe Priests and the Elders of the people came vnto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authoritie doest thou these things? and who gaue thee this authoritie?
24And Iesus answered, and said vnto them, I also will aske you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authoritie I doe these things.
25The baptisme of Iohn, whence was it? from heauen, or of men? and they reasoned with themselues saying, If we shall say, From heauen, hee will say vnto vs, Why did ye not then beleeue him?
26But if we shall say, Of men, we feare the people, for all hold Iohn as a Prophet.
27And they answered Iesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said vnto them, Neither tell I you by what authoritie I doe these things.
28¶ But what thinke you? A certaine man had two sonnes, and he came to the first, and said, Sonne, goe worke to day in my vineyard.
29He answered, & said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
30And hee came to the second, and said likewise: and hee answered, and said, I goe sir, and went not.
31Whether of them twaine did the will of his father? They say vnto him, The first. Iesus saith vnto them, Uerely I say vnto you, that the Publicanes and the harlots go into the kingdome of God before you.
32For Iohn came vnto you in the way of righteousnesse, and ye beleeued him not: but the Publicanes and the harlots beleeued him. And ye when ye had seene it, repented not afterward, that ye might beleeue him.
33¶ Heare another parable. There was a certaine house-holder, which planted a Uineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a wine-presse in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a farre countrey.
34And when the time of the fruite drew neere, he sent his seruants to the husbandmen, that they might receiue the fruits of it.
35And the husbandmen tooke his seruants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36Againe hee sent other seruants, moe then the first, and they did vnto them likewise.
37But last of all, he sent vnto them his sonne, saying, They will reuerence my sonne.
38But when the husbandmen saw the sonne, they said among themselues, This is the heire, come, let vs kill him, and let vs sease on his inheritance.
39And they caught him, and cast him out of the Uineyard, and slew him.
40When the Lord therefore of the Uineyard commeth, what will he doe vnto those husbandmen?
41They say vnto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his Uineyard vnto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42Iesus saith vnto them, Did ye neuer reade in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders reiected, the same is become the head of the corner? This is the Lords doing, and it is marueilous in our eyes.
43Therefore say I vnto you, the kingdome of God shall be taken from you, and giuen to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
44And whosoeuer shall fall on this stone, shalbe broken: but on whom soeuer it shall fall, it will grinde him to powder.
45And when the chiefe Priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceiued that he spake of them.
46But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they tooke him for a Prophet.
Chapter 22
1And Iesus answered, and spake vnto them againe by parables, and said,
2The Kingdome of heauen is like vnto a certaine King, which made a marriage for his sonne,
3And sent forth his seruants to call them that were bidden to the wedding, and they would not come.
4Againe, hee sent foorth other seruants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Beholde, I haue prepared my dinner; my oxen, and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come vnto the marriage.
5But they made light of it, and went their wayes, one to his farme, another to his merchandize:
6And the remnant tooke his seruants, and intreated them spitefully, and slew them.
7But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth, and hee sent foorth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burnt vp their citie.
8Then saith hee to his seruants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden, were not worthy.
9Goe yee therefore into the high wayes, and as many as yee shall finde, bid to the marriage.
10So those seruants went out into the high wayes, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good, and the wedding was furnished with ghests.
11¶ And when the King came in to see the guests, hee sawe there a man, which had not on a wedding garment,
12And hee sayth vnto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither, not hauing a wedding garment? And hee was speechlesse.
13Then said the king to the seruants, Binde him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkenesse, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
14For many are called, but few are chosen.
Matthew 22
15¶ Then went the Pharises, and tooke counsell, how they might intangle him in his talke.
16And they sent out vnto him their disciples, with the Herodians, saying, Master, wee know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in trueth, neither carest thou for any man; for thou regardest not the person of men.
17Tell vs therefore, what thinkest thou? Is it lawfull to giue tribute vnto Cesar, or not?
18But Iesus perceiued their wickednesse, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?
19Shew me the tribute money. And they brought vnto him a peny.
20And he sayth vnto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
21They say vnto him, Cesars. Then sayth he vnto them, Render therefore vnto Cesar, the things which are Cesars: and vnto God, the things that are Gods.
Matthew 22
23¶ The same day came to him the Sadduces, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,
24Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, hauing no children, his brother shall marrie his wife, and raise vp seed vnto his brother.
25Now there were with vs seuen brethren, and the first when he had maried a wife, deceased, and hauing no issue, left his wife vnto his brother.
26Likewise the second also, and the third, vnto the seuenth.
27And last of al the woman died also.
28Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife shall she be of the seuen? for they all had her.
29Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Yee doe erre, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.
30For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are giuen in marriage, but are as the Angels of God in heauen.
31But as touching the resurrection of the dead, haue ye not read that which was spoken vnto you by God, saying,
32I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Iacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the liuing.
Matthew 22
34¶ But when the Pharises had heard that he had put the Sadduces to silence, they were gathered together.
35Then one of them, which was a Lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36Master, which is the great Commandement in the Law?
37Iesus sayd vnto him, Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soule, and with all thy minde.
38This is the first and great Commandement.
39And the second is like vnto it, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.
40On these two Commandements hang all the Law and the Prophets.
Matthew 23
1Then spake Iesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2Saying, The Scribes and the Pharises sit in Moses seate:
3All therefore whatsoeuer they bid you obserue, that obserue and doe, but doe not ye after their workes: for they say, and doe not.
4For they binde heauie burdens, and grieuous to be borne, and lay them on mens shoulders, but they themselues will not mooue them with one of their fingers.
5But all their workes they doe, for to be seene of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6And loue the vppermost roomes at feasts, and the chiefe seats in the Synagogues,
7And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, euen Christ, and all ye are brethren.
9And call no man your father vpon the earth: for one is your father which is in heauen.
10Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, euen Christ.
11But hee that is greatest among you, shall be your seruant.
12And whosoeuer shall exalt himselfe, shall be abased: and he that shall humble himselfe, shall be exalted.
13¶ But woe vnto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; for yee shut vp the kingdom of heauen against men: For yee neither goe in your selues, neither suffer ye them that are entring, to goe in.
14Woe vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; for yee deuoure widowes houses, and for a pretence make long prayer; therefore ye shall receiue the greater damnation.
15Woe vnto you Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites; for yee compasse Sea and land to make one Proselyte, and when hee is made, yee make him two fold more the childe of hell then your selues.
16Woe vnto you, yee blind guides, which say, Whosoeuer shall sweare by the Temple, it is nothing: but whosoeuer shal sweare by the gold of the Temple, he is a debter.
17Ye fooles and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the Temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18And whosoeuer shall sweare by the Altar, it is nothing: but whosoeuer sweareth by the gift that is vpon it, he is guiltie.
19Ye fooles and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the Altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20Who so therefore shall sweare by the Altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21And who so shall sweare by the Temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22And he that shall sweare by heauen, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23Woe vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; for yee pay tithe of mint, and annise, and cummine, and haue omitted the weightier matters of the Law, iudgement, mercie and faith: these ought ye to haue done, and not to leaue the other vndone.
24Ye blind guides, which straine at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25Woe vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; for yee make cleane the outside of the cup, and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excesse.
26Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may bee cleane also.
27Woe vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for yee are like vnto whited sepulchres, which indeed appeare beautifull outward, but are within full of dead mens bones, and of all vncleannesse.
28Euen so, yee also outwardly appeare righteous vnto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisie and iniquitie.
29Woe vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because ye build the tombes of the Prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30And say, If wee had beene in the dayes of our fathers, wee would not haue bene partakers with them in the blood of the Prophets.
31Wherefore ye bee witnesses vnto your selues, that yee are the children of them which killed the Prophets.
32Fil ye vp then the measure of your fathers.
33Yee serpents, yee generation of vipers, How can yee escape the damnation of hell?
34¶ Wherefore behold, I send vnto you Prophets, and wisemen, and Scribes, and some of them yee shall kill and crucifie, and some of them shall yee scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from citie to citie:
35That vpon you may come all the righteous blood shed vpon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel, vnto the blood of Zacharias, sonne of Barachias, whom yee slew betweene the temple and the altar.
36Uerily I say vnto you, All these things shal come vpon this generation.
37O Hierusalem, Hierusalem, thou that killest the Prophets, and stonest them which are sent vnto thee, how often would I haue gathered thy children together, euen as a hen gathereth her chickens vnder her wings, and yee would not?
38Behold, your house is left vnto you desolate.
39For I say vnto you, yee shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that commeth in the Name of the Lord.
Matthew 24
3¶ And as he sate vpon the mount of Oliues, the Disciples came vnto him priuately, saying, Tell vs, when shall these things be? And what shall be the signe of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4And Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Take heed that no man deceiue you.
5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ: and shall deceiue many.
6And yee shall heare of warres, and rumors of warres: See that yee be not troubled: for all these things must come to passe, but the end is not yet.
7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdome against kingdome, and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in diuers places.
8All these are the beginning of sorrowes.
9Then shall they deliuer you vp to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and yee shall bee hated of all nations for my names sake.
10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11And many false Prophets shall rise, and shall deceiue many.
12And because iniquitie shal abound, the loue of many shall waxe cold.
13But he that shall endure vnto the end, the same shall be saued.
14And this Gospell of the kingdome shall be preached in all the world, for a witnesse vnto al nations, and then shall the end come.
15When yee therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the Prophet, stand in the holy place, (who so readeth, let him vnderstand.)
16Then let them which be in Iudea, flee into the mountaines.
17Let him which is on the house top, not come downe, to take any thing out of his house:
18Neither let him which is in the field, returne backe to take his clothes.
19And woe vnto them that are with child, and to them that giue sucke in those dayes.
20But pray yee that your flight bee not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath day:
21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor euer shall be.
22And except those dayes should be shortned, there should no flesh be saued: but for the elects sake, those dayes shall be shortned.
23Then if any man shall say vnto you, Loe, heere is Christ, or there: beleeue it not.
24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shal shew great signes and wonders: insomuch that (if it were possible,) they shall deceiue the very elect.
25Behold, I haue told you before.
26Wherefore, if they shall say vnto you, Behold, he is in the desert, goe not foorth: Behold, he is in the secret chambers, beleeue it not.
27For as the lightening commeth out of the East, and shineth euen vnto the West: so shall also the coming of the Sonne of man be.
28For wheresoeuer the carkeise is, there will the Eagles bee gathered together.
29¶ Immediately after the tribulation of those dayes, shall the Sunne be darkned, and the Moone shall not giue her light, and the starres shall fall from heauen, and the powers of the heauens shall be shaken.
30And then shall appeare the signe of the Sonne of man in heauen: and then shall all the Tribes of the earth mourne, and they shall see the Sonne of man coming in the clouds of heauen, with power and great glory.
31And hee shall send his Angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his Elect from the foure windes, from one end of heauen to the other.
32Now learne a parable of the figtree: when his branch is yet tender, and putteth foorth leaues, yee know that Summer is nigh:
33So likewise yee, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is neere, euen at the doores.
34Uerely I say vnto you, this generation shall not passe, till all these things be fulfilled.
35Heauen and earth shall passe away, but my wordes shall not passe away.
36¶ But of that day and houre knoweth no man, no, not the Angels of heauen, but my Father onely.
37But as the dayes of Noe were, so shall also the comming of the Sonne of man be.
38For as in the dayes that were before the Flood, they were eating, and drinking, marrying, and giuing in mariage, vntill the day that Noe entred into the Arke,
39And knew not vntill the Flood came, and tooke them all away: so shall also the comming of the Sonne of man be.
40Then shall two be in the field, the one shalbe taken, and the other left.
41Two women shall be grinding at the mill: the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42¶ Watch therfore, for ye know not what houre your Lord doth come.
43But know this, that if the good man of the house had knowen in what watch the thiefe would come, he would haue watched, and would not haue suffered his house to be broken vp.
44Therefore be yee also ready: for in such an houre as you thinke not, the sonne of man commeth.
45Who then is a faithfull and wise seruant, whom his Lord hath made ruler ouer his houshold, to giue them meat in due season?
46Blessed is that seruant, whome his Lord when he commeth, shall finde so doing.
47Uerely I say vnto you, that hee shal make him ruler ouer all his goods.
48But and if that euill seruant shal say in his heart, My Lord delayeth his comming,
49And shall begin to smite his fellow seruants, and to eate and drinke with the drunken:
50The Lord of that seruant shall come in a day when hee looketh not for him, and in an houre that hee is not ware of:
51And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Chapter 25
1Then shall the kingdome of heauen be likened vnto ten Uirgins, which tooke their lamps, & went forth to meet the bridegrome.
2And fiue of them were wise, and fiue were foolish.
3They that were foolish tooke their lampes, and tooke no oyle with them:
4But the wise tooke oyle in their vessels with their lampes.
5While the bridegrome taried, they all slumbred and slept.
6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegrome commeth, goe ye out to meet him.
7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lampes.
8And the foolish said vnto the wise, Giue vs of your oyle, for our lampes are gone out.
9But the wise answered, saying, Not so, lest there be not ynough for vs and you, but goe ye rather to them that sell, and buy for your selues.
10And while they went to buy, the bridegrome came, and they that were ready, went in with him to the marriage, and the doore was shut.
11Afterward came also the other virgines, saying, Lord, Lord, open to vs.
12But he answered, and said, Uerely I say vnto you, I know you not.
13Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day, nor the houre, wherein the Sonne of man commeth.
14¶ For the kingdome of heauen is as a man trauailing into a farre countrey, who called his owne seruants, and deliuered vnto them his goods:
15And vnto one he gaue fiue talents, to another two, and to another one, to euery man according to his seuerall ability, & straightway tooke his iourney.
16Then hee that had receiued the fiue talents, went and traded with the same, and made them other fiue talents.
17And likewise he that had receiued two, he also gained other two.
18But hee that had receiued one, went and digged in the earth, and hid his lordes money.
19After a long time, the lord of those seruants commeth, and reckoneth with them.
20And so hee that had receiued fiue talents, came and brought other fiue talents, saying, Lord, thou deliueredst vnto me fiue talents, behold, I haue gained besides them, fiue talents moe.
21His lord said vnto him, Well done, thou good and faithfull seruant, thou hast been faithfull ouer a few things, I wil make thee ruler ouer many things: enter thou into the ioy of thy lord.
22He also that had receiued two talents, came and said, Lord, thou deliueredst vnto me two talents: behold, I haue gained two other talents besides them.
23His lord said vnto him, Well done, good and faithfull seruant, thou hast beene faithfull ouer a few things, I wil make thee ruler ouer many things: enter thou into the ioy of thy lord.
24Then he which had receiued the one talent, came & said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sowen, & gathering where thou hast not strawed:
25And I was afraid, and went and hidde thy talent in the earth: loe, there thou hast that is thine.
26His lord answered, and said vnto him, Thou wicked and slouthfull seruant, thou knewest that I reape where I sowed not, and gather where I haue not strawed:
27Thou oughtest therefore to haue put my money to the exchangers, and then at my comming I should haue receiued mine owne with vsurie.
28Take therefore the talent from him, and giue it vnto him which hath ten talents.
29For vnto euery one that hath shall be giuen, and he shall haue abundance: but from him that hath not, shal be taken away, euen that which he hath.
30And cast yee the vnprofitable seruant into outer darkenesse, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31¶ When the Sonne of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy Angels with him, then shall hee sit vpon the throne of his glory:
32And before him shall be gathered all nations, and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepheard diuideth his sheepe from the goats.
33And he shall set the sheepe on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34Then shall the King say vnto them on his right hand, Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdome prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35For I was an hungred, and yee gaue me meate: I was thirstie, and ye gaue me drinke: I was a stranger, and ye tooke me in:
36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sicke, and yee visited me: I was in prison, and ye came vnto me.
37Then shal the righteous answere him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fedde thee? or thirstie, and gaue thee drinke?
38When saw wee thee a stranger, and tooke thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39Or when saw we thee sicke, or in prison, and came vnto thee?
40And the King shall answere, and say vnto them, Uerely I say vnto you, in as much as ye haue done it vnto one of the least of these my brethren, ye haue done it vnto me.
41Then shall he say also vnto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into euerlasting fire, prepared for the deuill and his angels.
42For I was an hungred, and yee gaue me no meat: I was thirstie, and ye gaue me no drinke:
43I was a stranger, and yee tooke me not in: naked, and ye clothed mee not: sicke, and in prison, and yee visited me not.
44Then shall they also answere him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sicke, or in prison, and did not minister vnto thee?
45Then shall he answere them, saying, Uerely, I say vnto you, in as much as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46And these shall goe away into euerlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternall.
Matthew 26
6¶ Now when Iesus was in Bethanie, in the house of Simon the leper,
7There came vnto him a woman, hauing an alabaster boxe of very precious ointment, and powred it on his head, as he sate at meat.
8But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9For this ointment might haue bin sold for much, and giuen to the poore.
10When Iesus vnderstood it, he said vnto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good worke vpon me.
11For ye haue the poore alwayes with you, but me ye haue not alwayes.
12For in that she hath powred this ointment on my body, shee did it for my buriall.
13Uerely I say vnto you, Wheresoeuer this Gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memoriall of her.
Matthew 26
24The sonne of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe vnto that man by whom the sonne of man is betrayed: It had bin good for that man, if hee had not bene borne.
Matthew 26
26¶ And as they were eating, Iesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gaue it to the Disciples, and said, Take, eate, this is my body.
27And he tooke the cup, and gaue thankes, and gaue it to them, saying, Drinke ye all of it:
28For this is my blood of the new Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sinnes.
Matthew 26
39And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my father, if it be possible, let this cup passe from me: neuerthelesse, not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Matthew 26
41Watch and pray, that yee enter not into temptation: The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weake.
Matthew 26
51And behold, one of them which were with Iesus, stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and stroke a seruant of the high Priests, and smote off his eare.
52Then said Iesus vnto him, Put vp againe thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword, shall perish with the sword.
Matthew 27
57When the Euen was come, there came a rich man of Arimathea, named Ioseph, who also himselfe was Iesus disciple:
58He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Iesus: then Pilate commanded the body to be deliuered.
Matthew 28
18And Iesus came, and spake vnto them, saying, All power is giuen vnto me in heauen and in earth.
19¶ Goe ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Sonne, and of the holy Ghost:
20Teaching them to obserue all things, whatsoeuer I haue commanded you: and loe, I am with you alway, euen vnto the end of the world. Amen.
Mark 1
4Iohn did baptize in the wildernesse, and preach the baptisme of repentance, for the remission of sinnes.
Mark 1
32And at euen, when the Sunne did set, they brought vnto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with diuels:
33And all the citie was gathered together at the doore.
34And he healed many that were sicke of diuers diseases, and cast out many deuils, and suffered not the deuils to speake, because they knew him.
Mark 3
22¶ And the Scribes which came downe from Hierusalem, said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the deuils, casteth he out deuils.
23And he called them vnto him, and said vnto them in parables, Howe can Satan cast out Satan?
24And if a kingdome be diuided against it selfe, that kingdome cannot stand.
25And if a house be diuided against it selfe, that house cannot stand.
26And if Satan rise vp against himselfe, and be diuided, hee cannot stand, but hath an end.
Mark 3
28Uerely I say vnto you, All sinnes shalbe forgiuen vnto the sonnes of men, and blasphemies, wherewith soeuer they shall blaspheme:
29But he that shal blaspheme against the holy Ghost, hath neuer forgiuenesse, but is in danger of eternall damnation.
Mark 7
1Then came together vnto him the Pharises, and certain of the Scribes, which came from Hierusalem.
2And when they saw some of his disciples eate bread with defiled (that is to say, with vnwashen) hands, they found fault.
3For the Pharises and all the Iewes, except they wash their hands oft, eate not, holding the tradition of the elders.
4And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eate not. And many other things there be, which they haue receiued to hold, as the washing of cups and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
5Then the Pharises and Scribes asked him, Why walke not thy disciples according to the tradition of the Elders, but eate bread with vnwashen hands?
6He answered and said vnto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you Hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth mee with their lips, but their heart is farre from me.
7Howbeit in vaine doe they worship me, teaching for doctrines, the commandements of men.
8For laying aside the Commandement of God, yee hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots, and cups: and many other such like things ye doe.
9And he said vnto them, Full well ye reiect the Commandement of God, that ye may keepe your owne tradition.
10For Moses said, Honour thy father & thy mother: and who so curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
11But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoeuer thou mightest be profited by me: he shalbe free.
12And ye suffer him no more to doe ought for his father, or his mother:
13Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye haue deliuered: And many such like things doe ye.
14¶ And when he had called all the people vnto him, hee said vnto them, Hearken vnto me euery one of you, and vnderstand.
15There is nothing from without a man that entring into him, can defile him: but the things which come out of of him, those are they that defile the man.
16If any man haue eares to heare, let him heare.
17And when hee was entred into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.
18And he saith vnto them, Are ye so without vnderstanding also? Doe yee not perceiue that whatsoeuer thing from without entreth into the man, it cannot defile him,
19Because it entreth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats?
20And he said, That which commeth out of the man, that defileth the man.
21For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed euill thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22Thefts, couetousnesse, wickednesse, deceit, lasciuiousnesse, an euill eye, blasphemie, pride, foolishnesse:
23All these euill things come from within, and defile the man.
Mark 7
24¶ And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entred into an house, and would haue no man know it, but hee could not be hid.
25For a certaine woman, whose yong daughter had an vncleane spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feete.
26(The woman was a Greek: a Syrophenician by nation:) and she besought him that he would cast forth the deuill out of her daughter.
27But Iesus said vnto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the childrens bread, and to cast it vnto the dogges.
28And she answered and said vnto him, Yes Lord, yet the dogges vnder the table eat of the childrens crummes.
29And hee said vnto her, For this saying, goe thy way, the deuill is gone out of thy daughter.
30And when shee was come to her house, she found the deuill gone out, and her daughter laied vpon the bed.
Mark 9
17And one of the multitude answered, and said, Master, I haue broughe vnto thee my son, which hath a dumbe spirit:
18And wheresoeuer he taketh him, he teareth him, & he fometh, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples, that they should cast him out, and they could not.
19He answereth him, and saith, O faithlesse generation, how long shall I be with you, how long shall I suffer you? Bring him vnto me.
20And they brought him vnto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him, and he fel on the ground, and wallowed, foming.
21And he asked his father, Howe long is it agoe since this came vnto him? And he said, Of a child.
22And oft times it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters to destroy him: but if thou canst doe any thing, haue compassion on vs, and helpe vs.
23Iesus said vnto him, If thou canst beleeue, all things are possible to him that beleeueth.
24And straightway the father of the child cried out and said with teares, Lord, I beleeue, helpe thou mine vnbeliefe.
25When Iesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foule spirit, saying vnto him, Thou dumbe and deafe spirit, I charge thee come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him, and he was as one dead, insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27But Iesus tooke him by the hand, and lifted him vp, and he arose.
28And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him priuately, Why could not we cast him out?
29And hee said vnto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer, and fasting.
Mark 10
2¶ And the Pharises came to him, and asked him, Is it lawfull for a man to put away his wife? tempting him.
3And he answered, and saide vnto them, What did Moses command you?
4And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of diuorcement, and to put her away.
5And Iesus answered, and said vnto them, For the hardnesse of your heart, he wrote you this precept.
6But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male, and female.
7For this cause shall a man leaue his father and mother, and cleaue to his wife,
8And they twaine shalbe one flesh: so then they are no more twaine, but one flesh.
9What therefore God hath ioyned together, let not man put asunder.
10And in the house his disciples asked him againe of the same matter.
11And he saith vnto them, Whosoeuer shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her.
12And if a woman shall put away her husband, and bee married to another, she committeth adulterie.
Mark 10
13¶ And they brought yong children to him, that he should touch them, and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14But when Iesus saw it, hee was much displeased, and said vnto them, Suffer the little children to come vnto mee, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdome of God.
15Uerily I say vnto you, Whosoeuer shall not receiue the kingdome of God as a little childe, he shall not enter therein.
16And hee tooke them vp in his armes, put his handes vpon them, and blessed them.
Mark 10
17¶ And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good master, what shall I doe that I may inherit eternall life?
18And Iesus said vnto him, Why callest thou me good? There is no man good, but one, that is God.
19Thou knowest the Commandements, Doe not commit adulterie, Doe not kill, Doe not steale, Doe not beare false witnesse, Defraud not, Honour thy father, and mother.
20And hee answered, and saide vnto him, Master, all these haue I obserued from my youth.
21Then Iesus beholding him, loued him, and said vnto him, One thing thou lackest; Goe thy way, sell whatsoeuer thou hast, and giue to the poore, and thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come, take vp the crosse & folow me.
22And hee was sad at that saying, and went away grieued: for hee had great possessions.
23¶ And Iesus looked round about, and saith vnto his disciples, How hardly shall they that haue riches enter into the kingdome of God?
24And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Iesus answereth againe, and saith vnto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches, to enter into the kingdom of God?
25It is easier for a camel to goe thorow the eye of a needle, then for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselues, Who then can be saued?
27And Iesus looking vpon them, saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
Mark 11
15¶ And they come to Hierusalem, and Iesus went into the Temple, and beganne to cast out them that sold and bought in the Temple, and ouerthrew the tables of the money changers, and the seats of them that sold doues,
16And would not suffer that any man should carie any vessell thorow the Temple.
17And he taught, saying vnto them, Is it not written, My house shalbe called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye haue made it a den of theeues.
Mark 14
3¶ And being in Bethanie, in the house of Simon the leper, as he sate at meat, there came a woman, hauing an Alabaster boxe of oyntment of spikenard very precious, and shee brake the boxe, and powred it on his head.
4And there were some that had indignation within themselues, and said, Why was this waste of the oyntment made?
5For it might haue bene solde for more then three hundred pence, and haue bene giuen to the poore: and they murmured against her.
6And Iesus said, Let her alone, why trouble you her? Shee hath wrought a good worke on me.
7For ye haue the poore with you alwayes, and whensoeuer ye will yee may doe them good: but me ye haue not alwayes.
Luke 1
30 And the Angel said vnto her, Feare not, Marie, for thou hast found fauour with God.
31 And behold, thou shalt conceiue in thy wombe, and bring forth a sonne, and shalt call his name Iesus.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the sonne of the Highest, and the Lord God shall giue vnto him the throne of his father Dauid.
33 And hee shall reigne ouer the house of Iacob for euer, and of his kingdome there shall be no end.
34 Then said Marie vnto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 And the Angel answered and said vnto her, The holy Ghost shall come vpon thee, and the power of the Highest shall ouershadow thee. Therefore also that holy thing which shall bee borne of thee, shall bee called the sonne of God.
36 And behold, thy cousin Elizabeth, she hath also conceiued a sonne in her old age, and this is the sixt moneth with her, who was called barren.
37 For with God no thing shall be vnpossible.
38 And Marie said, Behold the handmaide of the Lord, be it vnto me according to thy word: and the Angel departed from her.
Luke 1
39 And Marie arose in those dayes, and went into the hill countrey with haste, into a citie of Iuda,
40 And entred into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elizabeth.
41 And it came to passe that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Marie, the babe leaped in her wombe, and Elizabeth was filled with the holy Ghost.
42 And she spake out with a loud voyce, and saide, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruite of thy wombe.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to mee?
44 For loe, assoone as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine eares, the babe leaped in my wombe for ioy.
Luke 3
21 Now when all the people were baptized, and it came to passe that Iesus also being baptized, and praying, the heauen was opened:
22 And the holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a Doue vpon him, and a voice came from heauen, which said, Thou art my beloued sonne, in thee I am well pleased.
23 And Iesus himselfe began to be about thirty yeeres of age, being (as was supposed) the sonne of Ioseph, which was the sonne of Heli,
24 Which was the sonne of Matthat, which was the sonne of Leui, which was the sonne of Melchi, which was the sonne of Ianna, which was the sonne of Ioseph,
25 Which was the sonne of Matthathias, which was the sonne of Amos, which was the sonne of Naum, which was the sonne of Eli, which was the sonne of Nagge,

30 Which was the sonne of Simeon, which was the sonne of Iuda, which was the sonne of Ioseph, which was the sonne of Ionan, which was the sonne of Eliakim,
31 Which was the sonne of Melea, which was the sonne of Menam, which was the sonne of Mattatha, which was the sonne of Nathan, which was the sonne of Dauid,
32 Which was the sonne of Iesse, which was the sonne of Obed, which was the sonne of Booz, which was the sonne of Salmon, which was the sonne of Nasson,
33 Which was the sonne of Aminadab, which was the sonne of Aram, which was the sonne of Esrom, which was the sonne of Phares, which was the sonne of Iuda,
34 Which was the sonne of Iacob, which was the sonne of Isaac, which was the sonne of Abraham, which was the sonne of Thara, which was the sonne of Nachor,
35 Which was the sonne of Saruch, which was the sonne of Ragau, which was the sonne of Phaleg, which was the sonne of Heber, which was the sonne of Sala,
36 Which was the sonne of Cainan, which was the sonne of Arphaxad, which was the sonne of Sem, which was the sonne of Noe, which was the sonne of Lamech,
37 Which was the sonne of Mathusala, which was the sonne of Enoch, which was the sonne of Iared, which was the sonne of Maleleel, which was the sonne of Cainan,

Luke 11
23He that is not with me, is against me: and hee that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
Luke 12
13¶ And one of the company saide vnto him, Master, speake to my brother, that he diuide the inheritance with me.
14And he said vnto him, Man, who made mee a iudge, or a diuider ouer you?
15And he said vnto them, Take heed and beware of couetousnes: for a mans life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
John 2
1And the third day there was a mariage in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Iesus was there.
2And both Iesus was called, and his disciples, to the mariage.
3And when they wanted wine, the mother of Iesus saith vnto him, They haue no wine.
4Iesus saith vnto her, Woman, what haue I to doe with thee? mine houre is not yet come.
5His mother saith vnto þe seruants, Whatsoeuer he saith vnto you, doe it.
6And there were set there sixe water pots of stone, after the maner of the purifying of the Iewes, conteining two or three firkins apeece.
7Iesus saith vnto them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them vp to the brimme.
8And hee saith vnto them, Drawe out now, and beare vnto the gouernor of the feast. And they bare it.
9When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was, (but the seruants which drew the water knew) the gouernor of the feast called the bridegrome,
10And saith vnto him, Euery man at the beginning doth set foorth good wine, and when men haue well drunke, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine vntill now.
11This beginning of miracles did Iesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory, and his disciples beleeued on him.
John 2
13¶ And the Iewes Passeouer was at hand, & Iesus went vp to Hierusalem
14And found in the Temple those that sold oxen, and sheepe, and doues, and the changers of money, sitting.
15And when he had made a scourge of small cordes, he droue them all out of the Temple, and the sheepe & the oxen, and powred out the changers money, and ouerthrew the tables,
16And said vnto them that sold doues Take these things hence, make not my fathers house an house of merchandize.
17And his disciples remembred that it was written, The zeale of thine house hath eaten me vp.
John 11
1Now a certaine man was sicke, named Lazarus of Bethanie, the towne of Mary, and her sister Martha.
2(It was that Mary which anoynted the Lord with oyntment, and wiped his feete with her haire, whose brother Lazarus was sicke.)
3Therefore his sister sent vnto him, saying, Lord, behold, hee whom thou louest, is sicke.
4When Iesus heard that, hee said, This sicknesse is not vnto death, but for the glory of God, that the Sonne of God might be glorified thereby.
5Now Iesus loued Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6When he had heard therefore that he was sicke, he abode two dayes still in the same place where he was.
7Then after that, saith hee to his disciples, Let vs go into Iudea againe.
8His disciples say vnto him, Master, the Iewes of late sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither againe?
9Iesus answered, Are there not twelue houres in the day? If any man walke in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
10But if a man walke in the night, hee stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
11These things said hee, and after that, hee saith vnto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth, but I goe, that I may awake him out of sleepe.
12Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleepe, he shall doe well.
13Howbeit Iesus spake of his death: but they thought that hee had spoken of taking of rest in sleepe.
14Then saide Iesus vnto them plainly, Lazarus is dead:
15And I am glad for your sakes, that I was not there (to the intent yee may beleeue:) Neuerthelesse, let vs goe vnto him.
16Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, vnto his fellow disciples, Let vs also goe, that we may die with him.
17Then when Iesus came, hee found that hee had lien in the graue foure dayes already.
18(Now Bethanie was nigh vnto Hierusalem, about fifteene furlongs off:)
19And many of the Iewes came to Martha, and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
20Then Martha, as soone as shee heard that Iesus was comming, went and met him: but Mary sate still in the house.
21Then saide Martha vnto Iesus, Lord, if thou hadst bene here, my brother had not died.
22But I know, that euen now, whatsoeuer thou wilt aske of God, God will giue it thee.
23Iesus saith vnto her, Thy brother shall rise againe.
24Martha sayeth vnto him, I know that he shall rise againe in the resurrection at the last day.
25Iesus said vnto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: hee that beleeueth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he liue.
26And whosoeuer liueth, and beleeueth in mee, shall neuer die. Beleeuest thou this?
27She saith vnto him, Yea Lord, I beleeue that thou art the Christ the Sonne of God, which should come into the world.
28And when shee had so said, shee went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
29Assoone as she heard that, she arose quickely, and came vnto him.
30Now Iesus was not yet come into the towne, but was in that place where Martha met him.
31The Iewes then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary that she rose vp hastily, and went out, followed her, saying, Shee goeth vnto the graue, to weepe there.
32Then when Mary was come where Iesus was, and saw him, shee fell downe at his feete, saying vnto him, Lord, if thou hadst beene here, my brother had not dyed.
33When Iesus therefore sawe her weeping, and the Iewes also weeping which came with her, hee groned in the Spirit, and was troubled,
34And said, Where haue ye laid him? They say vnto him, Lord, come, & see.
35Iesus wept.
36Then said the Iewes, Behold, how he loued him.
37And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blinde, haue caused that euen this man should not haue died?
38Iesus therefore againe groning in himselfe, commeth to the graue. It was a caue, and a stone lay vpon it.
39Iesus said, Take yee away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, sayth vnto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath beene dead foure dayes.
40Iesus saith vnto her, Said I not vnto thee, that if thou wouldst beleeue, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
41Then they tooke away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Iesus lift vp his eyes, and said, Father, I thanke thee, that thou hast heard me.
42And I knewe that thou hearest me alwayes: but because of the people which stand by, I said it, that they may beleeue that thou hast sent me.
43And when hee thus had spoken, he cryed with a loude voice, Lazarus, come foorth.
44And he that was dead, came forth, bound hand & foot with graue-clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Iesus saith vnto them, Loose him, and let him goe.
45Then many of the Iewes which came to Mary, and had seene the things which Iesus did, beleeued on him.
John 19
10Then saith Pilate vnto him, Speakest thou not vnto me? Knowest thou not, that I haue power to crucifie thee, and haue power to release thee?
11Iesus answered, Thou couldest haue no power at all against me, except it were giuen thee from aboue: therfore he that deliuered me vnto thee, hath the greater sinne.
Proverbs 1
7¶ The feare of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fooles despise wisedome and instruction.
Proverbs 3
5¶ Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and leaue not vnto thine owne vnderstanding.
6In all thy wayes acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy pathes.
Proverbs 3
33¶ The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the iust.
Proverbs 6
20¶ My sonne, keepe thy fathers commandement, and forsake not the law of thy mother.
21Binde them continually vpon thine heart, and tie them about thy necke.
22When thou goest, it shall leade thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keepe thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talke with thee.
23For the Commandement is a lampe, and the Lawe is light: and reproofes of instruction are the way of life:
24To keepe thee from the euill woman, from the flatterie of the tongue of a strange woman.
25Lust not after her beautie in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
26For by meanes of a whorish woman, a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteresse will hunt for the precious life.
Proverbs 8
10Receiue my instruction, and not siluer: and knowledge rather then choise gold.
11For wisedome is better then rubies: and all the things that may be desired, are not to be compared to it.
12I wisedome dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inuentions.
Proverbs 9
10The feare of the Lord is the beginning of wisedome: and the knowledge of the holy is vnderstanding.
Proverbs 9
13¶ A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, & knoweth nothing.
14For she sitteth at the doore of her house on a seate, in the high places of the Citie:
15To call passengers who go right on their wayes:
16Who so is simple, let him turne in hither: and as for him that wanteth vnderstanding, she saith to him;
17Stollen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.
18But hee knoweth not that the dead are there, and that her guests are in the depths of hell.
Proverbs 14
16A wise man feareth, and departeth from euill: but the foole rageth, and is confident.
Proverbs 18
2A foole hath no delight in vnderstanding, but that his heart may discouer it selfe.
Proverbs 23
13Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14Thou shalt beate him with the rod, and shalt deliuer his soule from hell.
Ecclesiastes 1
12¶ I the Preacher was king ouer Israel in Ierusalem.
13And I gaue my heart to seeke and search out by wisedome, concerning all things that are done vnder heauen: this sore trauell hath God giuen to the sonnes of man, to be exercised therewith.
14I haue seene all the workes that are done vnder the Sunne, and behold, all is vanitie, and vexation of spirit.
15That which is crooked, cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbred.
16I communed with mine owne heart, saying, Loe, I am come to great estate, and haue gotten more wisedome then all they that haue beene before me in Ierusalem: yea my heart had great experience of wisedome & knowledge.
17And I gaue my heart to know wisedome, and to know madnesse and folly: I perceiued that this also is vexation of spirit.
18For in much wisedome is much griefe: and hee that increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow.
Ecclesiastes 3
1To euery thing there is a season, and a time to euery purpose vnder the heauen.
2A time to be borne, and a time to die: a time to plant, and a time to pluck vp that which is planted.
3A time to kill, and a time to heale: a time to breake downe, and a time to build vp.
4A time to weepe, and a time to laugh: a time to mourne, and a time to dance.
5A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together: a time to imbrace, and a time to refraine from imbracing.
6A time to get, and a time to lose: a time to keepe, and a time to cast away.
7A time to rent, and a time to sow: a time to keepe silence, and a time to speake.
8A time to loue, and a time to hate: a time of warre, and a time of peace.
Ecclesiastes 6
1There is an euill which I haue seen vnder the Sun, and it is common among men:
2A man to whom God hath giuen riches, wealth and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soule of all that he desireth, yet God giueth him not power to eate thereof, but a stranger eateth it: This is vanitie, and it is an euill disease.
Acts 4
31¶ And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together, and they were all filled with the holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldnesse.
32And the multitude of them that beleeued, were of one heart, and of one soule: Neither said any of them, that ought of the things which he possessed, was his owne, but they had all things common.
33And with great power gaue the Apostles witnesse of the resurrection of the Lord Iesus, and great grace was vpon them all.
34Neither was there any among them that lacked: For as many as were possessors of lands, or houses, sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were solde,
35And laide them downe at the Apostles feete: And distribution was made vnto euery man according as hee had neede.
36And Ioses, who by the Apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, The sonne of consolation) a Leuite, and of the Countrey of Cyprus,
37Hauing land, sold it, and brought the money, & laid it at the Apostles feet.
Chapter 5
1But a certaine man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, solde a possession,
2And kept backe part of the price, his wife also being priuy to it, and brought a certaine part, and layd it at the Apostles feete.
3But Peter said, Ananias, Why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the holy Ghost, and to keepe backe part of the price of the land?
4Whiles it remained, was it not thine owne? and after it was sold, was it not in thine owne power? why hast thou conceiued this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied vnto men, but vnto God.
5And Ananias hearing these words, fell downe, and gaue vp the ghost: and great feare came on all them that heard these things.
6And the yong men arose, wound him vp, and caried him out, and buried him.
7And it was about the space of three houres after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
8And Peter answered vnto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she saide, Yea, for so much.
9Then Peter saide vnto her, How is it that ye haue agreed together, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feete of them which haue buried thy husband, are at the doore, and shall cary thee out.
10Then fell she downe straightway at his feete, and yeelded vp the ghost: And the yong men came in, and found her dead, and carying her forth, buried her by her husband.
11And great feare came vpon all the Church, and vpon as many as heard these things.
Acts 5
12¶ And by the hands of the Apostles, were many signes and wonders wrought among the people. (And they were all with one accord in Solomons porch.
13And of the rest durst no man ioyne himselfe to them: But the people magnified them.
14And beleeuers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
15Insomuch þt they brought foorth the sicke into the streetes, and layed them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by, might ouershadow some of them.
16There came also a multitude out of the cities round about vnto Hierusalem, bringing sicke folkes, and them which were vexed with vncleane spirits: and they were healed euery one.
Acts 5
27And when they had brought them, they set them before the Councill, and the high Priest asked them,
28Saying, Did not wee straitly command you, that you should not teach in this Name? And behold, yee haue filled Hierusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this mans blood vpon vs.
29¶ Then Peter, and the other Apostles answered, and saide, Wee ought to obey God rather then men.
30The God of our fathers raised vp Iesus, whom yee slew and hanged on a tree.
31Him hath God exalted with his right hand to bee a Prince and a Sauiour, for to giue repentance to Israel, and forgiuenesse of sinnes.
32And we are his witnesses of these things, and so is also the holy Ghost, whom God hath giuen to them that obey him.
Acts 5
35And said vnto them, Yee men of Israel, take heed to your selues, what ye intend to doe as touching these men.
36For before these dayes rose vp Theudas, boasting himselfe to be some body, to whom a number of men, about foure hundred, ioyned themselues: who was slaine, and all, as many as obeied him, were scattered, & brought to nought.
37After this man rose vp Iudas of Galilee, in the dayes of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: hee also perished, and all, euen as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
38And now I say vnto you, refraine from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsell or this worke be of men, it will come to nought.
39But if it be of God, ye cannot ouerthrow it, lest haply yee be found euen to fight against God.
40And to him they agreed: and when they had called the Apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speake in the Name of Iesus, and let them goe.
41¶ And they departed from the presence of the Councill, reioycing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his Name.
42And dayly in the Temple, and in euery house, they ceased not to teach and preach Iesus Christ.
Acts 8
5Then Philip went downe to the citie of Samaria, and preached Christ vnto them.
6And the people with one accord gaue heed vnto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7For vncleane spirits, crying with lowd voyce, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
8And there was great ioy in that citie.
Acts 10
9¶ On the morrow as they went on their iourney, and drew nigh vnto the citie, Peter went vp vpon the house to pray, about the sixth houre.
10And he became very hungry, and would haue eaten: But while they made ready, he fell into a traunce,
11And saw heauen opened, and a certaine vessell descending vnto him, as it had beene a great sheete, knit at the foure corners, and let downe to the earth:
12Wherein were all maner of foure footed beasts of the earth, and wilde beasts, and creeping things, and foules of the ayre.
13And there came a voyce to him, Rise, Peter: kill, and eate.
14But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I haue neuer eaten any thing that is common or vncleane.
15And the voice spake vnto him againe the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
16This was done thrise: & the vessel was receiued vp againe into heauen.
17Now while Peter doubted in himselfe what this vision which he had seene, should meane: behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius, had made inquirie for Simons house, and stood before the gate,
18And called, and asked whether Simon, which was sirnamed Peter, were lodged there.
19¶ While Peter thought on the vision, the spirit said vnto him, Behold, three men seeke thee.
20Arise therefore, and get thee downe, and goe with them, doubting nothing: for I haue sent them.
Acts 10
34¶ Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a trueth I perceiue þt God is no respecter of persons:
35But in euery nation, he that feareth him, and worketh righteousnesse, is accepted with him.
36The word which God sent vnto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Iesus Christ (he is Lord of all.)
37That word (I say) you knowe which was published thorowout all Iudea, and began from Galilee, after the baptisme which Iohn preached:
38How God anointed Iesus of Nazareth with the holy Ghost, and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the deuill: for God was with him.
39And we are witnesses of all things which hee did both in the land of the Iewes, and in Hierusalem, whom they slew and hanged on a tree,
40Him God raised vp the third day, and shewed him openly,
41Not to all the people, but vnto witnesses, chosen before of God, euen to vs who did eate and drinke with him after he rose from the dead.
42And he commanded vs to preach vnto the people, and to testifie that it is he which was ordeined of God to be the Iudge of quicke and dead.
43To him giue all the Prophets witnesse, that through his Name whosoeuer beleeueth in him, shall receiue remission of sinnes.
44¶ While Peter yet spake these words, the holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45And they of the circumcision which beleeued, were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was powred out the gift of the holy Ghost.
46For they heard them speake with tongues, and magnifie God. Then answered Peter,
47Can any man forbid water, that these should not bee baptized, which haue receiued the holy Ghost, as well as wee?
48And hee commanded them to be baptized in the Name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarie certaine dayes.
Acts 11
1And the Apostles, and brethren that were in Iudea, heard that the Gentiles had also receiued the word of God.
2And when Peter was come vp to Hierusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
3Saying, Thou wentest in to men vncircumcised, & didst eate with them.
4But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order vnto them, saying,
5I was in the citie of Ioppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, a certaine vessell descend, as it had beene a great sheete, let downe from heauen by foure corners, and it came euen to me.
6Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw foure footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and foules of the aire.
7And I heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Arise Peter, slay, and eate.
8But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or vncleane hath at any time entred into my mouth.
9But the voyce answered me againe from heauen, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
10And this was done three times: and all were drawen vp againe into heauen.
11And behold, immediately there were three men already come vnto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea vnto me.
12And the spirit bad me goe with them, nothing doubting: Moreouer, these sixe brethren accompanied me, and we entred into the mans house:
13And he shewed vs how hee had seene an Angell in his house, which stood and said vnto him, Send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose sirname is Peter:
14Who shall tell thee words, wherby thou, and all thy house shal be saued.
15And as I began to speake, the holy Ghost fell on them, as on vs at the beginning.
16Then remembred I the word of the Lord, how that he said, Iohn indeede baptized with water: but ye shall be baptized with the holy Ghost.
17Forasmuch then as God gaue them the like gift as hee did vnto vs, who beleeued on the Lord Iesus Christ: what was I that I could withstand God?
18When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance vnto life.
19¶ Now they which were scattered abroad vpon the persecution that arose about Steuen, trauailed as farre as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none, but vnto the Iewes onely.
20And some of them were men of Cyprus, and Cyrene, which when they were come to Antioch, spake vnto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Iesus.
21And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number beleeued, and turned vnto the Lord.
22¶ Then tidings of these things came vnto the eares of the Church, which was in Hierusalem: and they sent foorth Barnabas, that hee should goe as farre as Antioch.
23Who when hee came, and had seene the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleaue vnto the Lord.
24For he was a good man, and full of the holy Ghost, and of faith: and much people was added vnto the Lord.
25Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seeke Saul.
26And when he had found him, he brought him vnto Antioch. And it came to passe, that a whole yeere they assembled themselues with the Church, and taught much people, and the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
Acts 13
38¶ Be it knowen vnto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached vnto you the forgiuenesse of sinnes.
39And by him all þt beleeue, are iustified from all things, from which ye could not be iustified by the Law of Moses.
40Beware therefore, least that come vpon you which is spoken of in the Prophets,
41Behold, yee despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I worke a worke in your dayes, a worke which you shall in no wise beleeue, though a man declare it vnto you.
42And when the Iewes were gone out of the Synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
43Now when the Congregation was broken vp, many of the Iewes, and religious Proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who speaking to them, perswaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44¶ And the next Sabbath day came almost the whole citie together to heare the word of God.
45But when the Iewes saw the multitudes, they were filled with enuie, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting, and blaspheming.
46Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first haue bene spoken to you: but seeing yee put it from you, and iudge your selues vnworthy of euerlasting life, loe, we turne to the Gentiles.
47For so hath the Lord cōmanded vs, saying, I haue set thee to bee a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for saluation vnto the ends of the earth.
Acts 16
16¶ And it came to passe, as we went to prayer, a certaine Damosell possessed with a spirit of diuination, met vs: which brought her masters much gaine by soothsaying.
17The same followed Paul and vs, and cried, saying, These men are the seruants of the most hie God, which shew vnto vs the way of saluation.
18And this did she many dayes: but Paul being grieued, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the Name of Iesus Christ, to come out of her. And he came out the same houre.
Acts 16
25¶ And at midnight, Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises vnto God: and the prisoners heard them.
26And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doores were opened, and euery ones bands were loosed.
27And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleepe, and seeing the prison doores open, he drew out his sword, and would haue killed himselfe, supposing that the prisoners had beene fled.
28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Doe thy selfe no harme, for we are all heere.
29Then hee called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell downe before Paul and Silas,
30And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I doe to be saued?
31And they saide, Beleeue on the Lord Iesus Christ, and thou shalt be saued, and thy house.
32And they spake vnto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
33And hee tooke them the same houre of the night, and washed their stripes, and was baptized, hee and all his, straightway.
34And when he had brought them into his house, hee set meat before them, and reioyced, beleeuing in God with all his house.
Acts 19
11And God wrought speciall miracles by the hands of Paul:
12So that from his body were brought vnto the sicke handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the euill spirits went out of them.
13¶ Then certaine of the vagabond Iewes, exorcistes, tooke vpon them to call ouer them which had euill spirits, the Name of the Lord Iesus, saying, We adiure you by Iesus whom Paul preacheth.
14And there were seuen sonnes of one Sceua a Iewe, and chiefe of the Priests, which did so.
15And the euill spirit answered, and said, Iesus I knowe, and Paul I know, but who are ye?
16And the man in whom the euill spirit was, leapt on them, and ouercame them, and preuailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17And this was knowen to all the Iewes and Greekes also dwelling at Ephesus, and feare fell on them all, and the Name of the Lord Iesus was magnified.
18And many that beleeued came, and confessed, and shewed their deedes.
Acts 20
30Also of your owne selues shal men arise, speaking peruerse things, to draw away disciples after them.
Acts 21
8And the next day we that were of Pauls company, departed, and came vnto Cesarea, and wee entred into the house of Philip the Euangelist (which was one of the seuen) & abode with him.
9And þe same man had foure daughters, virgins, which did prophesie.
Romans 1
18For the wrath of God is reueiled from heauen against all vngodlinesse, and vnrighteousnesse of men, who hold the trueth in vnrighteousnesse.
19Because that which may bee knowen of God, is manifest in them, for God hath shewed it vnto them.
20For the inuisible things of him from the Creation of the world, are clearely seene, being vnderstood by the things that are made, euen his eternall Power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse:
21Because that when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankefull, but became vaine in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened:
22Professing themselues to be wise, they became fooles:
23And changed the glory of the vncorruptible God, into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birdes, and foure footed beasts, and creeping things:
24Wherefore God also gaue them vp to vncleannesse, through the lusts of their owne hearts, to dishonour their owne bodies betweene themselues:
25Who changed the trueth of God into a lye, and worshipped and serued the creature more then the Creatour, who is blessed for euer. Amen.
26For this cause God gaue them vp vnto vile affections: for euen their women did change the naturall vse into that which is against nature:
27And likewise also the men, leauing the naturall vse of the woman, burned in their lust one towards another, men with men working that which is vnseemely, and receiuing in themselues that recompense of their errour which was meet.
28And euen as they did not like to retaine God in their knowledge, God gaue them ouer to a reprobate minde, to doe those things which are not conuenient:
29Being filled with all vnrighteousnes, fornication, wickednesse, couetousnes, maliciousnes, full of enuie, murther, debate, deceit, malignitie, whisperers,
30Backbiters, haters of God, despitefull, proude, boasters, inuenters of euill things, disobedient to parents;
31Without vnderstanding, couenant breakers, without naturall affection, implacable, vnmercifull;
32Who knowing the iudgement of God, (that they which commit such things, are worthy of death) not onely do the same, but haue pleasure in them that doe them.
Romans 2
10But glory, honour, and peace, to euery man that worketh good, to the Iew first, and also to the Gentile.
11For there is no respect of persons with God.
12For as many as haue sinned without Law, shall also perish without Law: and as many as haue sinned in the Law, shalbe iudged by the Law.
13(For not the hearers of the Law are iust before God, but the doers of the Law shalbe iustified;
14For when the Gentiles which haue not the Law, doe by nature the things contained in the Law: these hauing not the Law, are a Law vnto themselues,
15Which shew the worke of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witnesse, and their thoughts the meane while accusing, or else excusing one another:
16In the day when God shall iudge the secrets of men by Iesus Christ, according to my Gospel.
Romans 2
17Behold, thou art called a Iew, and restest in the Law, and makest thy boast of God:
18And knowest his will, and approuest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the Law,
19And art confident that thou thy selfe art a guide of the blinde, a light of them which are in darkenesse:
20An instructour of the foolish, a teacher of babes: which hast the forme of knowledge and of the trueth in the Law:
21Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thy selfe? thou that preachest a man should not steale, doest thou steale?
22Thou that sayest a man should not commit adulterie, doest thou commit adulterie? thou that abhorrest idols, doest thou commit sacriledge?
23Thou that makest thy boast of the Law, through breaking the Law dishonourest thou God?
24For the Name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles, through you, as it is written:
25For Circumcision verily profiteth if thou keepe the Law: but if thou be a breaker of the Law, thy Circumcision is made vncircumcision.
26Therefore, if the vncircumcision keepe the righteousnesse of the Law, shall not his vncircumcision be counted for Circumcision?
27And shall not vncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfill the Law, iudge thee, who by the letter, and Circumcision, doest transgresse the Law?
28For hee is not a Iew, which is one outwardly, neither is that Circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29But he is a Iew which is one inwardly, and Circumcision is, that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter, whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Romans 3
19Now we know that what things soeuer the Law saith, it saith to them who are vnder the Law: that euery mouth may bee stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20Therefore by the deedes of the Law, there shall no flesh be iustified in his sight: for by the Law is the knowledge of sinne.
21But nowe the righteousnesse of God without the Lawe is manifested, being witnessed by the Lawe and the Prophets.
22Euen the righteousnesse of God, which is by faith of Iesus Christ vnto all, and vpon all them that beleeue: for there is no difference:
23For all haue sinned, and come short of the glory of God,
24Being iustified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Iesus Christ:
25Whom God hath set forth to bee a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousnesse for the remission of sinnes, that are past, through the forbearance of God.
26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousnesse: that hee might bee iust, and the iustifier of him which beleeueth in Iesus.
27Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what Law? Of works? Nay: but by the Law of faith.
28Therefore wee conclude, that a man is iustified by faith, without the deeds of the Law.
29Is he the God of the Iewes only? Is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
30Seeing it is one God which shal iustifie the circumcision by faith, and vncircumcision through faith.
31Doe we then make void the lawe through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Law.
Romans 5
19For as by one mans disobedience many were made sinners: so by the obedience of one, shall many bee made righteous.
Romans 6
1What shall we say then? shall wee continue in sinne: that grace may abound?
2God forbid: how shall wee that are dead to sinne, liue any longer therein?
3Know ye not, that so many of vs as were baptized into Iesus Christ, were baptized into his death?
4Therefore wee are buryed with him by baptisme into death, that like as Christ was raised vp from the dead by the glorie of the Father: euen so wee also should walke in newnesse of life.
5For if we haue bene planted together in the likenesse of his death: wee shalbe also in the likenesse of his resurrection:
6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the bodie of sinne might bee destroyed, that hencefoorth we should not serue sinne.
7For he that is dead, is freed from sinne.
8Now if we be dead with Christ, we beleeue that we shal also liue with him:
9Knowing that Christ being raysed from the dead, dieth no more, death hath no more dominion ouer him.
10For in that he dyed, he dyed vnto sinne once: but in that hee liueth, hee liueth vnto God.
11Likewise reckon yee also your selues to be dead indeed vnto sinne: but aliue vnto God, through Iesus Christ our Lord.
12Let not sinne reigne therfore in your mortall body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13Neither yeeld yee your members as instruments of vnrighteousnes vnto sinne: but yeelde your selues vnto God, as those that are aliue from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousnesse vnto God.
14For sinne shall not haue dominion ouer you, for yee are not vnder the Law, but vnder Grace.
15What then? shal we sinne, because wee are not vnder the Law, but vnder Grace? God forbid.
16Know ye not, that to whom yee yeeld your selues seruants to obey, his seruants ye are to whom ye obey: whether of sinne vnto death, or of obedience vnto righteousnesse?
17But God bee thanked, that yee were the seruants of sinne: but ye haue obeyed from the heart that fourme of doctrine, which was deliuered you.
18Being then made free from sinne, yee became the seruants of righteousnesse.
19I speake after the maner of men, because of the infirmitie of your flesh: for as yee haue yeelded your members seruants to vncleannesse and to iniquitie, vnto iniquitie: euen so now yeelde your members seruants to righteousnesse, vnto holinesse.
20For when yee were the seruants of sinne ye were free from righteousnesse.
21What fruit had yee then in those things, whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22But now being made free from sinne, and become seruants to God, yee haue your fruit vnto holinesse, and the end euerlasting life.
23For the wages of sinne is death: but the gift of God is eternall life, through Iesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 8
14For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sonnes of God.
Romans 8
24For wee are saued by hope: but hope that is seene, is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25But if wee hope for that wee see not, then doe wee with patience waite for it.
26Likewise the spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what wee should pray for as wee ought: but the spirit it selfe maketh intercession for vs with groanings, which cannot bee vttered.
27And he that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is the minde of the spirit, because he maketh intercession for the Saints, according to the will of God.
Romans 8
28And wee know that all things worke together for good, to them that loue God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his sonne, that hee might bee the first borne amongst many brethren.
30Moreouer, whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also iustified: and whom he iustified, them he also glorified.
Romans 8
33Who shall lay any thing to the charge of Gods elect? It is God that iustifieth:
34Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather that is risen againe, who is euen at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for vs.
35Who shall separate vs from the loue of Christ? shall tribulation, or distresse, or persecution, or famine, or nakednesse, or perill, or sword?
36(As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long, wee are accounted as sheepe for the slaughter.)
37Nay in all these things wee are more then conquerours, through him that loued vs.
38For I am perswaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shalbe able to separate vs from the loue of God, which is in Christ Iesus our Lord.
Romans 9
14What shall we say then? Is there vnrighteousnes with God? God forbid.
15For hee saith to Moses, I will haue mercy on whom I wil haue mercie, and I will haue compassion on whom I will haue compassion.
16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
17For the Scripture saith vnto Pharaoh, Euen for this same purpose haue I raised thee vp, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my Name might bee declared throughout all the earth.
18Therefore hath hee mercie on whom hee will haue mercy, and whom he will, he hardeneth.
19Thou wilt say then vnto mee; Why doeth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
20Nay but O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
21Hath not the potter power ouer the clay, of the same lumpe, to make one vessell vnto honour, and another vnto dishonour?
22What if God, willing to shew his wrath, & to make his power knowen, indured with much long suffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23And that he might make knowen the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which hee had afore prepared vnto glorie?
24Euen vs whom hee hath called, not of the Iewes onely, but also of the Gentiles.
Romans 10
13For whosoeuer shall call vpon the Name of the Lord, shall be saued.
14How then shall they call on him in whom they haue not beleeued? and how shal they beleeue in him, of whom they haue not heard? and how shall they heare without a Preacher?
15And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written: How beautifull are the feete of them that preach the Gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16But they haue not all obeyed the Gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath beleeued our report?
17So then, faith commeth by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Romans 11
1I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbidde. For I also am an Israelite of the seede of Abraham, of the tribe of Beniamin.
2God hath not cast away his people which hee foreknew. Wote yee not what the Scripture saieth of Elias? how hee maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,
3Lord, they haue killed thy Prophets, and digged downe thine Altars, and I am left alone, and they seeke my life.
4But what saieth the answere of God vnto him? I haue reserued to my selfe seuen thousand men, who haue not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5Euen so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
6And if by grace, then is it no more of workes: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it bee of workes, then is it no more grace, otherwise worke is no more worke.
7What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for, but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded,
8According as it is written, God hath giuen them the spirit of slumber: eyes that they should not see, and eares that they should not heare vnto this day.
9And Dauid sayth, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling blocke, and a recompense vnto them.
10Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow downe their backe alway.
11I say then; Haue they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid. But rather through their fall, saluation is come vnto the Gentiles, for to prouoke them to ielousie.
12Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them, the riches of the Gentiles: how much more their fulnesse?
13For I speake to you Gentiles, in as much as I am the Apostle of the Gentiles, I magnifie mine office:
14If by any means I may prouoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might saue some of them.
15For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world: what shal the receiuing of them be, but life from the dead?
16For if the first fruite bee holy, the lumpe is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17And if some of the branches bee broken off, and thou being a wilde oliue tree wert graffed in amongst them, and with them partakest of the roote and fatnesse of the Oliue tree:
18Boast not against the branches: but if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might bee graffed in.
20Well: because of vnbeliefe they were broken off, and thou standest by fayth. Be not high minded, but feare.
21For if God spared not the natural branches, take heede least hee also spare not thee.
22Beholde therefore the goodnesse and seueritie of God: on them which fell, seueritie; but towards thee, goodnesse, if thou continue in his goodnesse: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
23And they also, if they bide not still in vnbeliefe, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graffe them in againe.
24For if thou wert cut out of the Oliue tree which is wilde by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good Oliue tree: how much more shall these which be the naturall branches, bee graffed into their owne Oliue tree?
25For I would not, brethren, that ye should bee ignorant of this mysterie (least yee should bee wise in your owne conceits) that blindnesse in part is happened to Israel, vntill the fulnes of the Gentiles be come in.
26And so all Israel shall be saued, as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliuerer, and shall turne away vngodlinesse from Iacob.
27For this is my couenant vnto them, when I shall take away their sinnes.
28As concerning the Gospel, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are beloued for the fathers sakes.
29For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
30For as yee in times past haue not beleeued God, yet haue now obtained mercy through their vnbeliefe:
31Euen so haue these also now not beleeued, that through your mercy they also may obtaine mercy.
32For God hath concluded them all in vnbeliefe, that he might haue mercy vpon all.
33O the depth of the riches both of the wisedome and knowledge of God! how vnsearchable are his iudgements, and his wayes past finding out!
34For who hath knowen the mind of the Lord, or who hath bene his counseller?
35Or who hath first giuen to him, and it shall bee recompensed vnto him againe?
36For of him, and through him, and to him are all things: to whom be glory for euer. Amen.
Romans 12
3For I say, through the grace giuen vnto mee, to euery man that is among you, not to thinke of himselfe more highly then hee ought to thinke, but to thinke soberly, according as God hath dealt to euery man the measure of faith.
4For as we haue many members in one body, and all members haue not the same office:
5So we being many are one bodie in Christ, and euery one members one of another.
6Hauing then gifts, differing according to the grace that is giuen to vs, whether prophecie, let vs prophecie according to the proportion of faith.
7Or ministery, let vs wait, on our ministring: or hee that teacheth, on teaching:
8Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giueth, let him doe it with simplicitie: hee that ruleth, with diligence: hee that sheweth mercy, with cheerefulnesse.
Romans 12
18If it be possible, as much as lyeth in you, liue peaceably with all men.
19Dearely beloued, auenge not your selues, but rather giue place vnto wrath: for it is written, Uengeance is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.
20Therefore if thine enemie hunger, feed him: if he thirst, giue him drink. For in so doing thou shalt heape coales of fire on his head.
21Be not ouercome of euill, but ouercome euill with good.
Romans 13
1Let euery soule bee subiect vnto the higher powers: For there is no power but of God. The powers that be, are ordeined of God.
2Whosoeuer therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist, shall receiue to themselues damnation.
3For rulers are not a terrour to good works, but to the euill. Wilt thou then not bee afraide of the power? doe that which is good, and thou shalt haue praise of the same.
4For hee is the minister of God to thee for good: but if thou do that which is euill, be afraid: for he beareth not the sword in vaine: for he is the minister of God, a reuenger to execute wrath vpon him that doeth euill.
5Wherfore ye must needs be subiect, not onely for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
6For, for this cause pay you tribute also: for they are Gods ministers, attending continually vpon this very thing.
7Render therfore to all their dues, tribute to whom tribute is due, custome to whome custome, feare to whome feare, honour to whom honour.
Romans 13
8Owe no man any thing, but to loue one another: for hee that loueth another hath fulfilled the Law.
Romans 14
1Him that is weake in the faith receiue you, but not to doubtfull disputations.
2For one beleeueth that he may eat all things: another who is weake, eateth herbes.
3Let not him that eateth, despise him that eateth not: and let not him which eateth not, iudge him that eateth. For God hath receiued him.
Romans 14
5One man esteemeth one day aboue another: another esteemeth euery day alike. Let euery man bee fully perswaded in his owne minde.
Romans 14
10But why doest thou iudge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? wee shall all stand before the Iudgement seat of Christ.
11For it is written, As I liue, saith the Lord, euery knee shall bow to mee, and euery tongue shall confesse to God.
12So then euery one of vs shall giue accompt of himselfe to God.
Romans 14
13Let vs not therefore iudge one another any more: but iudge this rather, that no man put a stumbling blocke, or an occasion to fall in his brothers way.
14I know, and am perswaded by the Lord Iesus, that there is nothing vncleane of it selfe: but to him that esteemeth any thing to bee vncleane, to him it is vncleane.
15But if thy brother be grieued with thy meate: now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died.
16Let not then your good be euill spoken of.
17For the kingdome of God is not meat and drinke; but righteousnes, and peace, and ioy in the holy Ghost.
18For hee that in these things serueth Christ, is acceptable to God, and approued of men.
19Let vs therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edifie an other.
20For meat, destroy not the worke of God: all things indeed are pure; but it is euill for that man who eateth with offence.
21It is good neither to eate flesh, nor to drinke wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weake.
22Hast thou faith? haue it to thy selfe before God. Happie is he that condemneth not himselfe in that thing which hee alloweth.
23And hee that doubteth, is damned if hee eate, because hee eateth not of faith: For whatsoeuer is not of faith, is sinne.
Chapter 15
1Wee then that are strong, ought to beare the infirmities of the weake, and not to please our selues.
2Let euery one of vs please his neighbour for his good to edification.
Romans 15
16That I should be the minister of Iesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministring the Gospel of God, that the offering vp of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the holy Ghost.
17I haue therfore whereof I may glory through Iesus Christ, in those things which pertaine to God.
18For I will not dare to speake of any of those things, which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deede,
19Through mighty signes and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God, so that from Hierusalem and round about vnto Illyricum, I haue fully preached the Gospel of Christ.
Romans 16
1I commend vnto you Phebe our sister, which is a seruant of the Church which is at Cenchrea:
2That ye receiue her in the Lord as becommeth Saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoeuer businesse she hath need of you: for she hath beene a succourer of many, and of my selfe also.
3Greete Priscilla and Aquila, my helpers in Christ Iesus:
4(Who haue for my life laid downe their owne neckes: vnto whome not onely I giue thankes, but also all the Churches of the Gentiles.)
1 Corinthians 1
10Now I beseech you brethren by the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, that yee all speake the same thing, and that there be no diuisions among you: but that ye be perfectly ioyned together in the same minde, and in the same iudgement.
11For it hath bene declared vnto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Cloe, that there are contentions among you.
12Now this I say, that euery one of you saith, I am of Paul, and I of Apollo, and I of Cephas, and I of Christ.
13Is Christ diuided? was Paul crucified for you? or were yee baptized in the name of Paul?
14I thanke God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius:
15Lest any should say, that I had baptized in mine owne name.
16And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Gospel: not with wisedome of words, lest the Crosse of Christ should be made of none effect.
18For the preaching of the Crosse is to them that perish, foolishnesse: but vnto vs which are saued, it is the power of God.
19For it is written, I will destroy the wisedome of the wise, and wil bring to nothing the vnderstanding of the prudent.
20Where is the wise? where is the Scribe? where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisedome of this world?
1 Corinthians 2
14But the naturall man receiueth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishnesse vnto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
15But he that is spirituall, iudgeth all things, yet he himselfe is iudged of no man.
16For who hath knowen the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him? But we haue the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 3
3For ye are yet carnall: for whereas there is among you enuying, and strife, and diuisions, are ye not carnall, and walke as men?
4For while one saieth, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Apollo, are ye not carnall?
5Who then is Paul? and who is Apollo? but ministers by whom ye beleeued, euen as the Lord gaue to euery man.
6I haue planted, Apollo watered: but God gaue the encrease.
7So then, neither is he that planteth any thing, neither hee that watereth: but God that giueth the increase.
8Now hee that planteth, and hee that watereth, are one: and euery man shal receiue his own reward according to his owne labour.
9For wee are labourers together with God, ye are Gods husbandry, yee are Gods building.
10According to the grace of God which is giuen vnto mee, as a wise master builder I haue laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let euery man take heede how hee buildeth thereupon.
11For other foundation can no man lay, then that is laide, which is Iesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 5
9I wrote vnto you in an Epistle, not to company with fornicators.
10Yet not altogether with the fornicatours of this world, or with the couetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must yee needs goe out of the world.
11But now I haue written vnto you, not to keepe company, if any man that is called a brother bee a fornicator, or couetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such a one, no, not to eate.
12For what haue I to doe to iudge them also that are without? doe not ye iudge them that are within?
13But them that are without, God iudgeth. Therefore put away from among your selues that wicked person.
1 Corinthians 6
1Dare any of you, hauing a matter against another, goe to law before the vniust, and not before the Saints?
2Do ye not know that the Saints shall iudge the world? And if the world shalbe iudged by you, are ye vnworthy to iudge the smallest matters?
3Know ye not that we shall iudge Angels? How much more things that perteine to this life?
4If then yee haue iudgements of things perteining to this life, set them to iudge who are least esteemed in the Church.
5I speake to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man amongst you? no not one that shall bee able to iudge betweene his brethren?
6But brother goeth to law with brother, & that before the vnbeleeuers?
7Now therefore, there is vtterly a fault among you, because yee goe to law one with another: Why doe ye not rather take wrong? Why doe yee not rather suffer your selues to be defrauded?
8Nay, you do wrong and defraud, and that your brethren.
9Know yee not that the vnrighteous shall not inherite the kingdome of God? Be not deceiued: neither fornicatours, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselues with mankinde,
10Nor theeues, nor couetous, nor drunkards, nor reuilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are iustified in the Name of the Lord Iesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
1 Corinthians 6
15Know yee not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
16What, know ye not that he which is ioyned to an harlot, is one body? for two (saith he) shalbe one flesh.
17But hee that is ioyned vnto the Lord, is one spirit.
18Flee fornication: Euery sinne that a man doeth, is without the body: but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his owne body.
19What, know ye not that your body is the Temple of the holy Ghost which is in you, which yee haue of God, and ye are not your owne?
20For yee are bought with a price: therefore glorifie God in your body, and in your spirit, which are Gods.
1 Corinthians 7
1Now cōcerning the things wherof ye wrote vnto me, It is good for a man not to touch a woman.
2Neuerthelesse, to auoid fornication, let euery man haue his owne wife, and let euery woman haue her owne husband.
3Let the husband render vnto the wife due beneuolence: and likewise also the wife vnto the husband.
4The wife hath not power of her owne body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his owne body, but the wife.
5Defraud you not one the other, except it bee with consent for a time, that yee may giue your selues to fasting and prayer, and come together againe, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinencie.
6But I speake this by permission, and not of commandement.
7For I would that all men were euen as I my selfe: but euery man hath his proper gift of God, one after this maner, and another after that.
8I say therefore to the vnmaried and widowes, It is good for them if they abide euen as I.
9But if they cannot conteine, let them marry: for it is better to marrie then to burne.
10And vnto the married, I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:
11But and if shee depart, let her remaine vnmaried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
12But to the rest speake I, not the Lord, If any brother hath a wife that beleeueth not, and shee bee pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13And the woman which hath an husband that beleeueth not, and if hee be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leaue him.
14For the vnbeleeuing husband is sanctified by the wife, and the vnbeleeuing wife is sanctified by the husband; else were your children vncleane, but now are they holy.
15But if the vnbeleeuing depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not vnder bondage in such cases: but God hath called vs to peace.
16For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt saue thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt saue thy wife?
1 Corinthians 7
25Nowe concerning virgins, I haue no commaundement of the Lord: yet I giue my iudgement as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithfull.
26I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distresse, I say, that it is good for a man so to be.
27Art thou bound vnto a wife? seeke not to bee loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seeke not a wife.
28But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned, and if a virgin marry, shee hath not sinned: neuerthelesse, such shall haue trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
29But this I say, brethren, the time is short. It remaineth, that both they that haue wiues, be as though they had none:
30And they that weepe, as though they wept not: and they that reioyce, as though they reioyced not: and they that buy, as though they possessed not:
31And they that vse this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
32But I would haue you without carefulnesse. He that is vnmarried, careth for the things that belōgeth to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:
33But hee that is maried, careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.
34There is difference also between a wife and a virgin: the vnmaried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that shee may be holy, both in body and in spirit: but she that is married, careth for the things of the worlde, how shee may please her husband.
35And this I speake for your owne profite, not that I may cast a snare vpon you, but for that which is comely, and that you may attend vpon the Lord without distraction.
36But if any man thinke that he behaueth himselfe vncomely toward his virgin, if she passe the floure of her age, and neede so require, let him doe what hee will, hee sinneth not: let them marry.
37Neuerthelesse, hee that standeth stedfast in his heart, hauing no necessitie, but hath power ouer his owne will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keepe his virgin, doeth well.
38So then he that giueth her in mariage, doeth wel: but he that giueth her not in mariage, doeth better.
39The wife is bound by the Lawe as long as her husband liueth: but if her husband bee dead, shee is at liberty to bee maried to whom shee will, onely in the Lord.
40But shee is happier if shee sobide, after my iudgment: and I thinke also that I haue the Spirit of God.
1 Corinthians 8
9But take heed lest by any meanes, this libertie of yours become a stumbling blocke to them that are weake.
10For if any man see thee which hast knowledge, sit at meat in the idols temple: shall not the conscience of him which is weake, be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols?
11And through thy knowledge shal the weake brother perish, for whome Christ died?
12But when ye sinne so against the brethren, and wound their weake conscience, ye sinne against Christ.
13Wherefore if meate make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
1 Corinthians 10
13There hath no temptation taken you, but such as is common to man: but God is faithfull, who wil not suffer you to bee tempted aboue that you are able: but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may bee able to beare it.
1 Corinthians 10
27If any of them that beleeue not, bid you to a feast, and yee be disposed to goe, whatsoeuer is set before you, eate, asking no question for conscience sake.
28But if any man say vnto you, This is offered in sacrifice vnto idoles, eate not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake. The earth is the Lords, and the fulnesse thereof.
29Conscience I say, not thine owne, but of the others: for why is my libertie iudged of another mans conscience?
30For, if I by grace be a partaker, why am I euill spoken of, for that for which I giue thankes?
31Whether therfore ye eat or drinke, or whatsoeuer ye doe, doe all to the glory of God.
32Giue none offence, neither to the Iewes, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the Church of God:
33Euen as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine owne profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saued.
1 Corinthians 11
3But I would haue you knowe, that the head of euery man is Christ: and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.
4Euery man praying or prophecying, hauing his head couered, dishonoureth his head.
5But euery woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head vncouered, dishonoureth her head: for that is euen all one as if she were shauen.
6For if the woman be not couered, let her also bee shorne: but if it bee a shame for a woman to be shorne or shauen, let her be couered.
7For a man in deede ought not to couer his head, forasmuch as hee is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
9Neither was the man created for the woman: but the woman for the man.
10For this cause ought the woman to haue power on her head, because of the Angels.
11Neuerthelesse, neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man in the Lord.
12For as the woman is of the man: euen so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
13Iudge in your selues, is it comely that a woman pray vnto God vncouered?
14Doeth not euen nature it selfe teach you, that if a man haue long haire, it is a shame vnto him?
15But if a woman haue long haire, it is a glory to her: for her haire is giuen her for a couering.
16But if any man seeme to be contentious, we haue no such custome, neither the Churches of God.
1 Corinthians 11
17Now in this that I declare vnto you, I praise you not, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.
18For first of all when yee come together in the Church, I heare that there be diuisions among you, and I partly beleeue it.
19For there must bee also heresies among you, that they which are approued may be made manifest among you.
20When yee come together therefore into one place, this is not to eate the Lords Supper.
21For in eating, euery one taketh before other, his owne supper: and one is hungry, and an other is drunken.
22What, haue ye not houses to eate and to drinke in? Or despise yee the Church of God, and shame them that haue not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I prayse you not.
1 Corinthians 15
12Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you, that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen.
14And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vaine, and your faith is also vaine:
15Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we haue testified of God, that he raised vp Christ: whom hee raised not vp, if so bee that the dead rise not.
16For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised.
17And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vaine, ye are yet in your sinnes.
18Then they also which are fallen asleepe in Christ, are perished.
19If in this life only we haue hope in Christ, wee are of all men most miserable.
20But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept.
21For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22For as in Adam all die, euen so in Christ shall all be made aliue.
2 Corinthians 4
1Therefore, seeing we haue this ministery, as we haue receiued mercie wee faint not:
2But haue renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftines, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the trueth, commending our selues to euery mans conscience, in the sight of God.
3But if our Gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4In whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which beleeue not, lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine vnto them.
5For we preach not our selues, but Christ Iesus the Lord, and our selues your seruants for Iesus sake.
2 Corinthians 6
14Be ye not vnequally yoked together with vnbeleeuers: for what fellowship hath righteousnesse with vnrighteousnesse? and what communion hath light with darknesse?
15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that beleeueth, with an infidel?
16And what agreement hath the Temple of God with idoles? for ye are the Temple of the liuing God, as God hath saide, I will dwell in them, and walke in them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17Wherefore come out from among them, and bee yee separate, saieth the Lord, and touch not the vncleane thing, and I will receiue you,
18And will bee a Father vnto you, and ye shall bee my sonnes and daughters, saith the Lord Almightie.
2 Corinthians 7
8For though I made you sory with a letter, I doe not repent, though I did repent: For I perceiue that the same Epistle hath made you sory, thogh it were but for a season.
9Now I reioyce, not that ye were made sorie, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorie after a godly maner, that ye might receiue damage by vs in nothing.
10For godly sorrow worketh repentance to saluation not to be repented of, but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
11For behold this selfe same thing that yee sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulnesse it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of your selues, yea, what indignation, yea what feare, yea what vehement desire, yea what zeale, yea what reuenge; In all things yee haue approued your selues to be cleare in this matter.
12Wherefore though I wrote vnto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appeare vnto you.
2 Corinthians 9
6But this I say, Hee which soweth sparingly, shall reape sparingly: and he which soweth bountifully, shall reape bountifully.
7Euerie man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him giue; not grudgingly, or of necessitie: for God loueth a cheerefull giuer.
8And God is able to make all grace abound towards you, that ye alwayes hauing all sufficiencie in all things, may abound to euery good worke,
9(As it is written: Hee hath dispersed abroad: Hee hath giuen to the poore: his righteousnesse remaineth for euer.
10Now he that ministreth seede to the sower, both minister bread for your foode, and multiply your seede sowen, and encrease the fruites of your righteousnesse)
11Being enriched in euery thing to al bountifulnes, which causeth through vs thankesgiuing to God.
2 Corinthians 10
2But I beseech you, that I may not bee bold when I am present, with that confidence wherewith I thinke to be bold against some, which thinke of vs as if wee walked according to the flesh.
3For though we walke in the flesh, we doe not warre after the flesh:
4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling downe of strong holds.)
5Casting down imaginations, and euery high thing that exalteth it selfe against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captiuitie euery thought to the obedience of Christ:
6And hauing in a readinesse to reuenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
7Doe ye looke on things after the outward appearance? if any man trust to himselfe, that he is Christs, let him of himselfe thinke this againe, that as he is Christs, euen so are we Christs.
8For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority (which the Lord hath giuen vs for edification, and not for your destruction) I should not be ashamed:
9That I may not seeme as if I would terrifie you by letters.
10For his letters (say they) are waighty and powerfull, but his bodily presence is weake, and his speach contemptible.
11Let such a one thinke this: that such as we are in word by letters, when we are absent, such will we be also in deede when we are present.
12For we dare not make our selues of the number, or compare our selues with some that commend themselues: but they measuring themselues by themselues, and comparing themselues amongst themselues, are not wise.
13But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule, which God hath distributed to vs, a measure to reach euen vnto you.
14For we stretch not our selues beyond our measure as though wee reached not vnto you, for wee are come as farre as to you also, in preaching the Gospel of Christ.
15Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other mens labours, but hauing hope, when your faith is increased, that wee shall bee enlarged by you, according to our rule abundantly.
16To preach the Gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another mans line of things made ready to our hand.
17But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
18For, not he that commendeth himselfe is approued, but whom the Lord commendeth.
2 Corinthians 11
3But I feare lest by any meanes, as the Serpent beguiled Eue through his subtilty, so your mindes should bee corrupted from the simplicitie that is in Christ.
4For if he that commeth preacheth another Iesus whome wee haue not preached, or if yee receiue another spirit, which ye haue not receiued, or another Gospel, which ye haue not accepted, yee might well beare with him.
5For, I suppose, I was not a whit behinde the very chiefest Apostles.
6But though I be rude in speach, yet not in knowledge; but we haue bene throughly made manifest among you in all things.
7Haue I committed an offence in abasing my selfe, that you might be exalted, because I haue preached to you the Gospel of God freely?
8I robbed other Churches, taking wages of them to doe you seruice.
9And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: For that which was lacking to mee, the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied, and in all things I haue kept my selfe from being burthensome to you, and so will I keepe my selfe.
10As the trueth of Christ is in mee, no man shall stop mee of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
11Wherefore? because I loue you not? God knoweth.
12But what I doe, that I wil doe, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion, that wherein they glory, they may bee found euen as we.
13For such are false Apostles, deceitfull workers, transforming themselues into the Apostles of Christ.
14And no marueile, for Sathan himselfe is transformed into an Angel of light.
15Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also bee transformed as the ministers of righteousnesse, whose end shall be according to their workes.
16I say againe, Let no man thinke mee a foole; if otherwise, yet as a foole receiue me, that I may boast my selfe a little.
17That which I speake, I speake it not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly in this confidence of boasting.
18Seeing that many glory after the flesh, I will glory also.
19For ye suffer fooles gladly, seeing ye your selues are wise.
20For ye suffer if a man bring you into bondage, if a man deuoure you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himselfe, if a man smite you on the face.
21I speake as concerning reproch, as though we had bene weake: howbeit, wherein soeuer any is bold, I speake foolishly, I am bold also.
22Are they Hebrewes? so am I: are they Israelites? so am I: are they the seed of Abraham? so am I:
23Are they ministers of Christ? I speake as a foole, I am more: in labors more abundant: in stripes aboue measure: in prisons more frequent: in deaths oft.
24Of the Iewes fiue times receiued I forty stripes saue one.
25Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned: thrice I suffered shipwracke: a night and a day I haue bene in the deepe.
26In iourneying often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by my owne countreymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the citie, in perils in the wildernesse, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren,
27In wearinesse and painfulnesse, in watchings often, in hunger & thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakednes.
28Besides those things that are without, that which commeth vpon me dayly, the care of all the Churches.
29Who is weake, and I am not weake? who is offended, and I burne not?
30If I must needes glory, I will glory of the things which concerne mine infirmities.
31The God and Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, which is blessed for euermore, knoweth that I lie not.
2 Corinthians 13
5Examine your selues, whether ye be in the faith: proue your owne selues. Know yee not your owne selues, how that Iesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Galatians 2
16Knowing that a man is not iustified by the works of the Law, but by the faith of Iesus Christ, euen we haue beleeued in Iesus Christ, that we might be iustified by the faith of Christ, and not by the workes of the Law: for by the workes of the Law shall no flesh be iustified.
17But if while we seeke to be iustified by Christ, wee our selues also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sinne? God forbid.
Galatians 3
1O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that you should not obey the trueth, before whose eyes Iesus Christ hath been euidently set forth, crucified among you?
2This onely would I learne of you, receiued ye the spirit, by the works of the Law, or by the hearing of faith?
3Are ye so foolish? hauing begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
4Haue ye suffered so many things in vaine? if it be yet in vaine.
5He therfore that ministreth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the workes of the Law, or by the hearing of faith?
6Euen as Abraham beleeued God, and it was accounted to him for righteousnesse.
7Knowe yee therefore, that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8And the Scripture foreseeing that God would iustifie the heathen through faith, preached before the Gospel vnto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9So then, they which bee of faith, are blessed with faithfull Abraham.
10For as many as are of the works of the lawe, are vnder the curse: for it is written, Cursed is euery one that continueth not in all things which are written in the booke of the Law to doe them.
11But that no man is iustified by the Lawe in the sight of God, it is euident: for, The iust shall liue by faith.
12And the Law is not of faith: but the man that doeth them, shall liue in them.
13Christ hath redeemed vs from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for vs: for it is written, Cursed is euery one that hangeth on tree:
14That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles, through Iesus Christ: that wee might receiue the promise of the Spirit through faith.
15Brethren, I speake after the maner of men: though it be but a mans couenant, yet if it bee confirmed, no man disanulleth, or addeth thereto.
16Now to Abraham and his seede were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many, but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
17And this I say, that the Couenant that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the Lawe which was foure hundred and thirtie yeres after, cannot disanul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
18For if the inheritance bee of the Law, it is no more of promise: but God gaue it to Abraham by promise.
19Wherefore then serueth the Law? it was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come, to whome the promise was made, and it was ordeyned by Angels in the hand of a Mediatour.
20Now a mediatour is not a Mediatour of one, but God is one.
21Is the Lawe then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had beene a Lawe giuen which could haue giuen life, verily righteousnesse should haue bene by the Law.
22But the Scripture hath concluded all vnder sinne, that the promise by faith of Iesus Christ might be giuen to them that beleeue.
23But before faith came, wee were kept vnder the Law, shut vp vnto the faith, which should afterwards bee reuealed.
24Wherefore the Law was our Schoolemaster to bring vs vnto Christ, that we might be iustified by Faith.
25But after that Faith is come, we are no longer vnder a Schoolemaster.
26For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Iesus.
27For as many of you as haue bene baptized into Christ, haue put on Christ.
28There is neither Iewe, nor Greeke, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Iesus.
29And if yee be Christs, then are ye Abrahams seed, and heires according to the promise.
Galatians 4
1Now I say, that the heire, as long as hee is a child, differeth nothing from a seruant, though hee bee Lord of all,
2But is vnder tutors and gouernours vntill the time appointed of the father.
Galatians 5
1Stand fast therefore in the libertie wherewith Christ hath made vs free, and bee not intangled againe with the yoke of bondage.
2Beholde, I Paul say vnto you that if ye be circumcised, Christ shal profite you nothing.
3For I testifie againe to euery man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to doe the whole Law.
4Christ is become of no effect vnto you, whosoeuer of you are iustified by the Law: ye are fallen from grace.
5For we through the spirit waite for the hope of righteousnesse by faith.
6For in Iesus Christ, neither circumcision auaileth any thing, nor vncircumcision, but faith which worketh by loue.
Galatians 5
13For brethren, ye haue beene called vnto liberty, onely vse not libertie for an occasion to the flesh, but by loue serue one another.
14For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, euen in this: Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.
15But if yee bite and deuoure one another, take heed ye be not consumed one of another.
16This I say then, Walke in the spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
17For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that yee cannot doe the things that yee would.
Galatians 6
1Brethren, if a man bee ouertaken in a fault: yee which are spirituall, restore such a one in the spirit of meeknesse, considering thy selfe least thou also be tempted.
2Beare ye one anothers burthens, and so fulfill the Law of Christ.
3For if a man thinke himselfe to be something, when he is nothing, hee deceiueth himselfe.
4But let euery man prooue his owne worke, and then shall he haue reioycing in him selfe alone, and not in an other.
5For euery man shall beare his owne burthen.
Galatians 6
7Be not deceiued, God is not mocked: for whatsoeuer a man soweth, that shall he also reape.
8For hee that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh reape corruption: but he that soweth to the spirit, shall of the spirit reape life euerlasting.
9And let vs not bee weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reape, if we faint not.
10As we haue therefore opportunitie, let vs doe good vnto all men, especially vnto them who are of the household of faith.
Ephesians 1
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, who hath blessed vs with all spirituall blessings in heauenly places in Christ:
4According as he hath chosen vs in him, before the foundation of the world, that wee should bee holy, and without blame before him in loue:
5Hauing predestinated vs vnto the adoption of children by Iesus Christ to himselfe, according to the good pleasure of his will:
6To the praise of the glorie of his grace, wherein he hath made vs accepted in the beloued:
7In whom wee haue redemption through his blood, the forgiuenesse of sinnes, according to the riches of his grace,
8Wherein hee hath abounded toward vs in all wisedome and prudence:
9Hauing made knowen vnto vs the mysterie of his will, according to his good pleasure, which he had purposed in himselfe,
10That in the dispensation of the fulnesse of times, he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heauen, and which are on earth, euen in him:
11In whom also we haue obteined an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsell of his owne will:
12That we should be to the praise of his glorie, who first trusted in Christ.
13In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of trueth, the Gospel of your saluation: in whom also after that yee beleeued, yee were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14Which is the earnest of our inheritance, vntill the redemption of the purchased possession, vnto the praise of his glorie.
Ephesians 2
8For by grace are ye saued, through faith, and that not of your selues: it is the gift of God:
9Not of workes, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 4
14That we hencefoorth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and caried about with euery winde of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftinesse, whereby they lye in waite to deceiue:
15But speaking the trueth in loue, may grow vp into him in all things which is the head, euen Christ:
16From whom the whole body fitly ioyned together, and compacted by that which euery ioynt supplyeth, according to the effectuall working in the measure of euery part, maketh increase of the body, vnto the edifying of it selfe in loue.
Ephesians 4
17This I say therefore and testifie in the Lord, that yee henceforth walke not as other Gentiles walke in the vanitie of their minde,
18Hauing the vnderstanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindnesse of their heart:
19Who being past feeling, haue giuen themselues ouer vnto lasciuiousnesse, to worke all vncleannesse with greedinesse.
Ephesians 5
11And haue no fellowship with the vnfruitfull workes of darkenesse, but rather reproue them.
12For it is a shame euen to speake of those things which are done of them in secret.
13But all things that are reprooued, are made manifest by the light: for whatsoeuer doth make manifest, is light.
14Wherfore hee saith: Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall giue thee light.
15See then that yee walke circumspectly, not as fooles, but as wise,
16Redeming the time, because the dayes are euill.
17Wherefore be ye not vnwise, but vnderstanding what the will of the Lord is.
Ephesians 5
22Wiues, submit your selues vnto your own husbands, as vnto the Lord.
23For the husband is the head of the wife, euen as Christ is the head of the Church: and he is the sauiour of the body.
24Therefore as the Church is subiect vnto Christ, so let the wiues bee to their owne husbands in euery thing.
25Husbands, loue your wiues, euen as Christ also loued the Church, and gaue himselfe for it:
26That he might sanctifie & cleanse it with the washing of water, by the word,
27That hee might present it to himselfe a glorious Church, not hauing spot or wrinckle, or any such thing: but that it should bee holy and without blemish.
28So ought men to loue their wiues, as their owne bodies: hee that loueth his wife, loueth himselfe.
29For no man euer yet hated his owne flesh: but nourisheth and cherisheth it, euen as the Lord the Church:
30For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31For this cause shall a man leaue his father and mother, and shall be ioyned vnto his wife, and they two shalbe one flesh.
32This is a great mysterie: but I speake concerning Christ and the Church.
33Neuerthelesse, let euery one of you in particular, so loue his wife euen as himselfe, and the wife see that she reuerence her husband.
Ephesians 6
1Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2Honour thy father and mother, (which is the first commandement with promise,)
3That it may bee well with thee, and thou maiest liue long on the earth.
4And yee fathers, prouoke not your children to wrath: but bring them vp in the nourture and admonition of the Lord.
Ephesians 6
5Seruants, bee obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with feare and trembling, in singlenesse of your heart, as vnto Christ:
6Not with eye seruice as men pleasers, but as the seruants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart:
7With good will doing seruice, as to the Lord, and not to men,
8Knowing that whatsoeuer good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receiue of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.
9And ye masters, do the same things vnto them, forbearing threatning: knowing that your master also is in heauen, neither is there respect of persons with him.
Philippians 2
2Fulfill ye my ioy, that yee be like minded, hauing the same loue, being of one accord, of one minde.
3Let nothing bee done through strife, or vaine glory, but in lowlinesse of minde let each esteeme other better then themselues.
4Looke not euery man on his owne things, but euery man also on the things of others.
5Let this minde bee in you, which was also in Christ Iesus:
6Who being in the forme of God, thought it not robbery to bee equall with God:
7But made himselfe of no reputation, and tooke vpon him the forme of a seruant, and was made in the likenesse of men.
8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himselfe, and became obedient vnto death, euen the death of the Crosse.
9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and giuen him a Name which is aboue euery name:
10That at the Name of Iesus euery knee should bow, of things in heauen, and things in earth, and things vnder the earth:
11And that euery tongue should confesse, that Iesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
12Wherefore, my beloued, as yee haue alwayes obeyed, not as in my presence onely, but now much more in my absence; worke out your owne saluation with feare, and trembling.
13For it is God which worketh in you, both to will, and to doe, of his good pleasure.
14Doe all things without murmurings, and disputings:
15That yee may bee blamelesse and harmelesse, the sonnes of God, without rebuke, in the middes of a crooked and peruerse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world:
16Holding foorth the word of life, that I may reioyce in the day of Christ, that I haue not runne in vaine, neither laboured in vaine.
Philippians 3
17Brethren, be followers together of me, and marke them which walke so, as ye haue vs for an ensample.
18(For many walke, of whome I haue told you often, and now tell you euen weeping, that they are the enemies of the crosse of Christ:
19Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glorie is in their shame, who minde earthly things.)
20For our conuersation is in heauen, from whence also we looke for the Sauiour, the Lord Iesus Christ:
21Who shall change our vile bodie, that it may bee fashioned like vnto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able euen to subdue all things vnto himselfe.
Philippians 4
9Those things which ye haue both learned and receiued, and heard, and seene in mee, doe: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Colossians 1
16For by him were all things created that are in heauen, and that are in earth, visible and inuisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him.
17And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Colossians 2
8Beware lest any man spoile you through Philosophie and vaine deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ:
9For in him dwelleth all the fulnesse of the Godhead bodily.
Colossians 2
16Let no man therefore iudge you in meat, or in drinke, or in respect of an Holy day, or of the New moone, or of the Sabbath dayes:
17Which are a shadow of things to come, but the body is of Christ.
18Let no man beguile you of your reward, in a voluntary humilitie, and worshipping of Angels, intruding into those things which hee hath not seene, vainely puft vp by his fleshly minde:
19And not holding the head, from which all the body by ioynts and bands hauing nourishment ministred, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
20Wherefore if yee bee dead with Christ frō the rudiments of the world: why, as though liuing in the world, are ye subiect to ordinances?
21(Touch not, taste not, handle not:
22Which all are to perish with the vsing) after the commandements and doctrines of men:
23Which things haue in deed a shew of wisedome in will-worship and humilitie, and neglecting of the body, not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
Chapter 3
1If yee then bee risen with Christ, seeke those things which are aboue, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God:
2Set your affection on things aboue, not on things on the earth.
Colossians 3
13Forbearing one another, and forgiuing one another, if any man haue a quarrell against any: euen as Christ forgaue you, so also doe yee.
Colossians 4
1Masters, giue vnto your seruants that which is iust and equall, knowing that yee also haue a Master in heauen.
Colossians 4
14Luke the beloued physician, and Demas greet you.
Colossians 4
15Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, & the church which is in his house.
16And when this Epistle is read amongst you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans: and that ye likewise reade the Epistle from Laodicea,
17And say to Archippus, Take heede to the ministerie, which thou hast receiued in the Lord, that thou fulfill it.
1 Thessalonians 2
11As you know, how wee exhorted and comforted, and charged euery one of you, (as a father doeth his children,)
12That ye would walke worthy of God, who hath called you vnto his kingdome and glory.
13For this cause also thanke wee God without ceasing, because when yee receiued the word of God, which yee heard of vs, yee receiued it not as the word of men, but (as it is in trueth) the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that beleeue.
1 Thessalonians 4
11And that ye studie to be quiet, and to doe your owne businesse, and to worke with your owne hands, (as wee commanded you:)
12That ye may walke honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may haue lacke of nothing.
1 Thessalonians 4
13But I would not haue you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleepe, that ye sorrow not, euen as others which haue no hope.
14For if we beleeue that Iesus died, and rose againe: euen so them also which sleepe in Iesus, will God bring with him.
15For this we say vnto you by the word of the Lord, That we which are aliue and remaine vnto the comming of the Lord, shall not preuent them which are asleepe.
16For the Lord himselfe shall descend from heauen with a shout, with the voyce of the Archangel, and with the trumpe of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
17Then we which are aliue, and remaine, shalbe caught vp together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the aire: and so shall wee euer bee with the Lord.
18Wherefore, comfort one an other with these words.
1 Thessalonians 5
12And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are ouer you in the Lord, and admonish you:
13And to esteeme them very highly in loue for their workes sake, and be at peace among your selues.
14Now we exhort you, brethren, warne them that are vnruly, comfort the feeble minded, support the weake, be patient toward all men.
15See that none render euill for euill vnto any man: but euer follow that which is good, both among your selues and to all men.
2 Thessalonians 1
6Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompence tribulation to them that trouble you:
7And to you who are troubled, rest with vs, when the Lord Iesus shalbe reuealed from heauen, with his mightie Angels,
8In flaming fire, taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the Gospel of our Lorde Iesus Christ,
9Who shalbe punished with euerlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power:
10When hee shall come to bee glorified in his Saints, and to bee admired in all them that beleeue (because our testimony among you was beleeued) in that day.
2 Thessalonians 2
1Now wee beseech you, brethren, by the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ, and by our gathering together vnto him,
2That yee bee not soone shaken in minde, or bee troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as from vs, as that the day of Christ is at hand,
3Let no man deceiue you by any meanes, for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sinne bee reuealed, the sonne of perdition,
4Who opposeth and exalteth himselfe aboue all that is called God, or that is worshipped: so that he as God, sitteth in the Temple of God, shewing himselfe that he is God.
5Remember yee not, that when I was yet with you, I tolde you these things?
6And now yee know what withholdeth, that hee might bee reuealed in his time.
7For the mysterie of iniquitie doth alreadie worke: onely he who now letteth, will let, vntill he be taken out of the way.
8And then shall that wicked bee reuealed, whome the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightnesse of his comming:
9Euen him whose comming is after the working of Satan, with all power and signes, and lying wonders,
10And with all deceiueablenesse of vnrighteousnesse, in them that perish: because they receiued not the loue of the trueth, that they might be saued.
11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should beleeue a lye:
12That they all might bee damned who beleeued not the trueth, but had pleasure in vnrighteousnes.
2 Thessalonians 3
6Now we command you, brethren, in the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, that ye withdraw your selues from euery brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which hee receiued of vs.
2 Thessalonians 3
7For your selues know how yee ought to follow vs: for wee behaued not our selues disorderly among you,
8Neither did wee eate any mans bread for nought: but wrought with labour and trauaile night and day, that wee might not bee chargeable to any of you.
9Not because we haue not power, but to make our selues an ensample vnto you to follow vs.
10For euen when wee were with you, this wee commanded you, that if any would not worke, neither should he eate.
11For we heare that there are some which walke among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busi-bodies.
12Now them that are such, we command, and exhort by our Lord Iesus Christ, that with quietnesse they worke, and eat their owne bread.
13But ye, brethren, be not wearie in well doing.
14And if any man obey not our word, by this Epistle note that man, and haue no company with him, that he may be ashamed,
15Yet count him not as an enemie, but admonish him as a brother.
1 Timothy 2
1I exhort therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giuing of thanks be made for all men:
2For Kings, and for all that are in authoritie, that we may leade a quiet and peaceable life in all godlinesse and honestie.
3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Sauiour,
4Who will haue all men to bee saued, and to come vnto the knowledge of the trueth.
5For there is one God, and one Mediatour betweene God and men, the man Christ Iesus,
6Who gaue himselfe a ransome for all, to be testified in due time.
7Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an Apostle (I speake the trueth in Christ, and lie not) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and veritie.
1 Timothy 2
11Let the woman learne in silence with all subiection:
12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to vsurpe authoritie ouer the man, but to be in silence.
13For Adam was first formed, then Eue:
14And Adam was not deceiued, but the woman being deceiued was in the transgression:
15Notwithstanding she shall be saued in child-bearing, if they continue in faith and charitie, and holinesse, with sobrietie.
1 Timothy 3
1This is a true saying: If a man desire the office of a Bishop, he desireth a good worke.
2A Bishop then must be blamelesse, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behauiour, giuen to hospitalitie, apt to teach;
3Not giuen to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre, but patient, not a brawler, not couetous;
4One that ruleth well his owne house, hauing his children in subiection with all grauitie.
5(For if a man know not how to rule his owne house, how shall he take care of the Church of God?)
6Not a nouice, lest being lifted vp with pride, hee fall into the condemnation of the deuill.
7Moreouer, hee must haue a good report of them which are without, lest he fall into reproch, and the snare of the deuill.
8Likewise must the Deacons bee graue, not double tongued, not giuen to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre,
9Holding the mysterie of the faith in a pure conscience.
10And let these also first be proued; then let them vse the office of a Deacon, being found blamelesse.
11Euen so must their wiues be graue; not slanderers, sober, faithfull in all things.
12Let the Deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children, and their owne houses well.
13For they that haue vsed the office of a Deacon well, purchase to themselues a good degree, and great boldnesse in the faith, which is in Christ Iesus.
1 Timothy 4
1Now the Spirit speaketh expresly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giuing heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of deuils:
2Speaking lies in hypocrisie, hauing their conscience seared with a hote iron,
3Forbidding to marry, and commanding to absteine from meates, which God hath created to bee receiued with thankesgiuing of them which beleeue, and know the trueth.
4For euery creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be receiued with thankesgiuing:
5For it is sanctified by the word of God, and prayer.
6If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Iesus Christ, nourished vp in the wordes of faith, and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
7But refuse prophane and olde wiues fables, and exercise thy selfe rather vnto godlinesse.
1 Timothy 4
15Meditate vpon these things, giue thy selfe wholly to them, that thy profiting may appeare to all.
16Take heed vnto thy selfe, and vnto the doctrine: continue in them: for in doing this, thou shalt both saue thy selfe, and them that heare thee.
1 Timothy 5
19Against an Elder receiue not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
20Them that sinne rebuke before all, that others also may feare.
1 Timothy 6
1Let as many seruants as are vnder the yoke, count their owne masters worthy of all honour, that the Name of God, and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
2And they that haue beleeuing masters, let them not despise them because they are brethren: but rather doe them seruice, because they are faithfull and beloued, partakers of the benefite: These things teach and exhort.
1 Timothy 6
9But they that will be rich, fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish & hurtfull lusts, which drowne men in destruction and perdition.
10For the loue of money is the root of all euill, which while some coueted after, they haue erred from the faith, and pierced themselues through with many sorrowes.
1 Timothy 6
20O Timothie, keepe that which is committed to thy trust, auoyding prophane and vaine bablings, and oppositions of science, fasly so called:
21Which some professing, haue erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. The first to Timothie was written from Laodicea, which is the chiefest citie of Phrygia Pacaciana.
2 Timothy 2
23But foolish and vnlearned questions auoid, knowing that they doe gender strifes.
24And the seruant of the Lord must not striue: but bee gentle vnto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25In meekenesse instructing those that oppose themselues, if God peraduenture will giue them repentance to the acknowledging of the trueth.
26And that they may recouer themselues out of the snare of the deuill, who are taken captiue by him at his will.
2 Timothy 3
12Yea, and all that will liue godly in Christ Iesus, shall suffer persecution.
13But euill men and seducers shall waxe worse and worse, deceiuing, and being deceiued.
2 Timothy 3
16All Scripture is giuen by inspiration of God, & is profitable for doctrine, for reproofe, for correction, for instrution in righteousnesse,
17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished vnto all good workes.
2 Timothy 4
3For the time wil come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but after their owne lusts shall they heape to themselues teachers, hauing itching eares:
4And they shall turne away their eares from the trueth, and shall be turned vnto fables.
Titus 1
5For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordaine Elders in euery citie, as I had appointed thee.
6If any be blamelesse, the husband of one wife, hauing faithfull children, not accused of riot, or vnruly.
7For a Bishop must be blameles, as the steward of God: not selfewilled, not soone angry, not giuen to wine, no striker, not giuen to filthie lucre,
8But a louer of hospitality, a louer of good men, sober, iust, holy, temperate,
9Holding fast the faithfull word, as hee hath beene taught, that he may bee able by sound doctrine, both to exhort and to conuince the gainsayers.
10For there are many vnruly and vaine talkers and deceiuers, specially they of the circumcision:
11Whose mouthes must be stopped, who subuert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthie lucres sake.
12One of themselues, euen a Prophet of their owne, said: The Cretians are alway lyers, euill beasts, slow bellies.
13This witnesse is true: wherefore rebuke them sharpely that they may be sound in the faith;
14Not giuing heede to Iewish fables, and commandements of men that turne from the trueth.
15Unto the pure all things are pure, but vnto them that are defiled, and vnbeleeuing, is nothing pure: but euen their mind and conscience is defiled.
16They professe that they know God; but in workes they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and vnto euery good worke reprobate.
Titus 2
1But speake thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2That the aged men be sober, graue, temperate, sound in faith, in charitie, in patience.
3The aged women likewise that they be in behauiour as becommeth holinesse, not false accusers, not giuen to much wine, teachers of good things,
4That they may teach the young women to bee sober, to loue their husbands, to loue their children,
5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God bee not blasphemed.
Titus 3
1Put them in minde to bee subiect to Principalities & Powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to euery good worke,
2To speake euill of no man, to bee no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekenesse vnto all men.
3For we our selues also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceiued, seruing diuers lusts and pleasures, liuing in malice and enuy, hatefull, and hating one another.
Titus 3
9But auoyd foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and striuings about the lawe; for they are vnprofitable and vaine.
10A man that is an heretike, after the first and second admonition, reiect:
11Knowing that hee that is such, is subuerted, and sinneth, being condemned of himselfe.
Philemon 1
10I beseech thee for my sonne Onesimus, whome I haue begotten in my bonds,
11Which in time past was to thee vnprofitable: but now profitable to thee and to me:
12Whom I haue sent againe: thou therfore receiue him, that is mine owne bowels.
13Whome I would haue reteined with mee, that in thy stead hee might haue ministred vnto me in the bonds of the Gospel.
14But without thy minde would I doe nothing, that thy benefite should not bee as it were of necessitie, but willingly.
15For perhaps hee therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receiue him for euer:
16Not now as a seruant, but aboue a seruant, a brother beloued, specially to mee, but how much more vnto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord?
17If thou count mee therefore a partner, receiue him as my selfe.
18If hee hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that on mine account.
19I Paul haue written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I doe not say to thee how thou owest vnto me, euen thine owne selfe besides:
20Yea, brother, let mee haue ioy of thee in the Lord: refresh my bowles in the Lord.
21Hauing confidence in thy obedience, I wrote vnto thee, knowing that thou wilt also doe more then I say.
Hebrews 2
16For verely he tooke not on him the nature of Angels: but he tooke on him the seed of Abraham.
17Wherfore in all things it behooued him to bee made like vnto his brethren, that he might be a mercifull and faithfull high Priest, in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sinnes of the people.
18For in that he himselfe hath suffered, being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Hebrews 10
26For if we sinne wilfully after that we haue receiued the knowledge of the trueth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sinnes,
27But a certaine fearefull looking for of iudgement, and fiery indignation, which shall deuoure the aduersaries.
28Hee that despised Moses Lawe, died without mercy, vnder two or three witnesses.
29Of how much sorer punishment suppose ye, shall hee be thought worthy, who hath troden vnder foote þe Sonne of God, and hath counted the blood of the couenant wherwith he was sanctified, an vnholy thing, and hath done despite vnto the spirit of grace?
30For we know him that hath said, Uengeance belongeth vnto me, I wil recompence, saith the Lord: and again, The Lord shall iudge his people.
Hebrews 10
35Cast not away therfore your confidence which hath great recompense of reward.
36For ye haue need of patience, that shall after ye haue done the will of God ye might receiue the promise.
37For yet a litle while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tary.
38Now the iust shall liue by faith: but if any man drawe backe, my soule shall haue no pleasure in him.
39But wee are not of them who draw backe vnto perdition: but of them that beleeue, to the sauing of the soule.
Hebrews 12
5And ye haue forgotten the exhortation which speaketh vnto you as vnto children, My sonne, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him.
6For whome the Lord loueth hee chasteneth, and scourgeth euery sonne whom he receiueth.
7If yee endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sonnes: for what sonne is he whom the father chasteneth not?
8But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sonnes.
9Furthermore, wee haue had fathers of our flesh, which corrected vs, and we gaue them reuerence: shall we not much rather bee in subiection vnto the Father of Spirits, and liue?
10For they verily for a fewe dayes chastened vs after their owne pleasure, but hee for our profit, that we might bee partakers of his holinesse.
11Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be ioyous, but grieuous: neuerthelesse, afterward it yeeldeth the peaceable fruite of righteousnesse, vnto them which are exercised thereby.
Hebrews 13
1Let brotherly loue continue.
2Bee not forgetfull to entertaine strangers, for thereby some haue entertayned Angels vnawares.
3Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer aduersitie, as being your selues also in the body.
4Mariage is honorable in all, and the bed vndefiled: but whoremongers, and adulterers God will iudge.
5Let your conuersation bee without couetousnesse: and be content with such things as yee haue. For hee hath said, I will neuer leaue thee, nor forsake thee.
6So that wee may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not feare what man shall doe vnto me.
7Remember them which haue the rule ouer you, who haue spoken vnto you the word of God, whose faith follow, considering the end of their conuersation.
Hebrews 13
17Obey them that haue the rule ouer you, and submit your selues: for they watch for your soules, as they that must giue account, that they may doe it with ioy, and not with griefe: for that is vnprofitable for you.
James 1
2My brethren, count it all ioy when ye fall into diuers temptations,
3Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience,
4But let patience haue her perfect worke, that ye may be perfect, and entier, wanting nothing.
James 1
5If any of you lacke wisedome, let him aske of God, that giueth to all men liberally, and vpbraideth not: and it shalbe giuen him.
6But let him aske in faith, nothing wauering: for he that wauereth is like a waue of the sea, driuen with the wind, and tossed.
7For let not that man thinke that he shall receiue any thing of the Lord.
8A double minded man is vnstable in all his wayes.
James 1
12Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when hee is tried, hee shall receiue the crowne of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that loue him.
13Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with euill, neither tempteth he any man.
14But euery man is tempted, when hee is drawen away of his owne lust, and entised.
15Then when lust hath conceiued, it bringeth forth sinne: and sinne, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
James 1
22But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers onely, receiuing your owne selues.
23For if any be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like vnto a man beholding his naturall face in a glasse:
24For hee beholdeth himselfe, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what maner of man he was.
25But who so looketh into the perfect Law of libertie, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetfull hearer, but a doer of the worke, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26If any man among you seeme to be religious, & bridleth not his tongue, but deceiueth his owne heart, this mans religion is vaine.
27Pure religion and vndefiled before God and the Facher, is this, to visit the fatherlesse and widowes in their affliction, and to keepe himselfe vnspotted from the world.
James 2
2For if there come vnto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poore man, in vile raiment:
3And yee haue respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say vnto him, Sit thou here in a good place: and say to the poore, Stand thou there, or sit here vnder my footstoole:
4Are yee not then partiall in your selues, and are become iudges of euill thoughts?
5Hearken, my beloued brethren, Hath not God chosen the poore of this world, rich in faith, and heires of the kingdome, which hee hath promised to them that loue him?
James 2
10For whosoeuer shall keepe the whole Law, & yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11For he that said, Doe not commit adultery; sayd also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressour of the Law.
James 2
14What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say hee hath faith, and haue not workes? can faith saue him?
15If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of dayly foode,
16And one of you say vnto them, Depart in peace, be you warmed & filled: notwithstanding ye giue them not those things which are needfull to the body: what doth it profit?
17Euen so faith, if it hath not works, is dead being alone.
18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I haue workes: shew mee thy faith without thy workes, and I will shew thee my faith by my workes.
19Thou beleeuest that there is one God, thou doest well: the deuils also beleeue, and tremble.
20But wilt thou knowe, O vaine man, that faith without workes is dead?
21Was not Abraham our father iustified by works, when hee had offered Isaac his sonne vpon the altar?
22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
23And the Scripture was fullfiled which saith, Abraham beleeued God, and it was imputed vnto him for righteousnes: and he was called the friend of God.
24Ye see then, how that by workes a man is iustified, and not by faith only.
25Likewise also, was not Rahab the harlot iustified by works, when she had receiued the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without workes is dead also.
James 4
1From whence come warres and fightings among you? come they not hence, euen of your lusts, that warre in your members?
2Ye lust, and haue not: yee kill, and desire to haue, and cannot obtaine: yee fight and warre, yet yee haue not, because ye aske not.
3Ye aske and receiue not, because ye aske amisse, that yee may consume it vpon your lusts.
4Ye adulterers, and adulteresses, know yee not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoeuer therefore will be a friend of the world, is the enemy of God.
5Doe ye thinke that the Scripture saith in vaine, the spirit that dwelleth in vs lusteth to enuy?
6But he giueth more grace, wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proude, but giueth grace vnto the humble.
7Submit your selues therefore to God: resist the deuill, and hee will flee from you.
8Draw nigh to God, and hee will draw nigh to you: cleanse your hands ye sinners, and purifie your hearts yee double minded.
James 5
14Is any sicke among you? let him call for the Elders of the Church, and let them pray ouer him, anointing him with oyle in the Name of the Lord:
15And the prayer of Faith shall saue the sicke, and the Lord shall raise him vp: and if hee haue committed sinnes, they shall be forgiuen him.
16Confesse your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that yee may bee healed: the effectuall feruent prayer of a righteous man auaileth much.
17Elias was a man subiect to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not raine: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three yeeres and sixe monethes.
18And hee prayed againe, and the heauen gaue raine, and the earth brought foorth her fruit.
James 5
19Brethren, if any of you doe erre from the trueth, and one conuert him,
20Let him know, that hee which conuerteth the sinner from the errour of his way, shall saue a soule from death, and shall hide a multitude of sinnes.
1 Peter 2
13Submit your selues to euery ordinance of man for the Lordes sake, whether it be to the King, as supreme,
14Or vnto gouernours, as vnto them that are sent by him, for the punishment of euil doers, and for the praise of them that doe well.
15For so is the will of God, that with well doing yee may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
16As free, and not vsing your libertie for a cloake of maliciousnesse, but as the seruants of God.
17Honour all men. Loue the brotherhood. Feare God. Honour the King.
1 Peter 2
18Seruants, be subiect to your masters with al feare, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
19For this is thanke-worthie, if a man for conscience toward God endure griefe, suffering wrongfully.
20For what glory is it, if when yee be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently: but if when yee doe well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
21For euen hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for vs, leauing vs an example, that yee should follow his steps.
22Who did no sinne, neither was guile found in his mouth.
23Who when hee was reuiled, reuiled not againe; when hee suffered, hee threatned not, but committed himselfe to him that iudgeth righteously.
24Who his owne selfe bare our sinnes in his owne body on the tree, that wee being dead to sinnes, should liue vnto righteousnesse, by whose stripes ye were healed.
1 Peter 3
1Likewise, ye wiues, be in subiection to your owne husbands, that if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be wonne by the conuersation of the wiues:
2While they beholde your chaste conuersation coupled with feare:
3Whose adorning, let it not bee that outward adorning, of plaiting the haire, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparell.
4But let it bee the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, euen the ornament of a meeke and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
5For after this manner in the olde time, the holy women also who trusted in God adorned themselues, beeing in subiection vnto their owne husbands.
6Euen as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord, whose daughters ye are as long as ye doe well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
7Likewise ye husbands, dwel with them according to knowledge, giuing honour vnto the wife as vnto the weaker vessel, and as being heires together of the grace of life, that your prayers be not hindered.
1 Peter 4
8And aboue all things haue feruent charitie among your selues: for charity shall couer the multitude of sinnes.
9Use hospitalitie one to another without grudging.
1 Peter 4
14If ye be reproched for the Name of Christ, happie are ye, for the spirit of glory, and of God resteth vpon you: on their part hee is euill spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
15But let none of you suffer as a murtherer, or as a theefe, or as an euill doer, or as a busibody in other mens matters.
16Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorifie God on this behalfe.
17For the time is come that iudgement must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at vs, what shall the ende bee of them that obey not the Gospel of God?
18And if the righteous scarcely be saued, where shall the vngodly and the sinner appeare?
19Wherfore, let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit the keeping of their soules to him in well doing, as vnto a faithfull Creator.
1 Peter 5
1The Elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an Elder, and a witnesse of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be reuealed.
2Feede the flocke of God which is among you, taking the ouersight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly: not for filthy lucre, but of a ready minde:
3Neither as being lords ouer Gods heritage: but being ensamples to the flocke.
2 Peter 2
1But there were false prophets also among the people, euen as there shall bee false teachers among you, who priuily shall bring in damnable heresies, euen denying the Lord that bought them, and bring vpon themselues swift destruction.
2And many shall follow their pernicious wayes, by reason of whom the way of trueth shall be euill spoken of:
3And through couetousnesse shall they with fained words, make marchandise of you, whose iudgement now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbreth not.
4For if God spared not the Angels that sinned, but cast them downe to hell, and deliuered them into chaines of darkenesse, to be reserued vnto iudgment:
5And spared not the old world, but saued Noah the eight person a preacher of righteousnesse, bringing in the flood vpon the world of the vngodly:
6And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes, condemned them with an ouerthrowe, making them an ensample vnto those that after should liue vngodly:
7And deliuered iust Lot, vexed with the filthy conuersation of the wicked:
8(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing & hearing, vexed his righteous soule from day to day, with their vnlawfull deeds.)
9The Lord knoweth how to deliuer the godly out of temptations, and to reserue the vniust vnto the day of iudgement to be punished:
10But chiefly them that walke after the flesh in the lust of vncleannesse, and despise gouernment. Presumptuous are they; selfe willed: they are not afraid to speake euill of dignities:
11Whereas Angels which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
12But these, as natural bruit beasts made to bee taken and destroyed speake euill of the things that they vnderstand not, and shall vtterly perish in their owne corruption,
13And shall receiue the reward of vnrighteousnesse, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time: Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselues with their owne deceiuings, while they feast with you:
14Hauing eyes ful of adulterie and that cannot cease from sinne, beguiling vnstable soules: an heart they haue exercised with couetous practises: cursed children:
15Which haue forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the sonne of Bosor, who loued the wages of vnrighteousnesse,
16But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumbe asse speaking with mais voice, forbade the madnesse of the Prophet.
17These are welles without water, cloudes that are caried with a tempest, to whom the mist of darkenesse is reserued for euer.
18For when they speake great svelling words of vanitie, they alure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonnesse, those that were cleane escaped from them who liue in errour.
19While they promise them libertie, they themselues are the seruants of corruption: for of whom a man is ouercome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
20For if after they haue escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ, they are againe intangled therein, and ouercome, the latter end is worse with them then the beginning.
21For it had bin better for them not to haue knowen the way of righteousnesse, then after they haue knowen it, to turne from the holy commandement deliuered vnto them.
22But it is happened vnto them according to the true prouerbe: The dog is turned to his own vomit againe, and the sowe that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.
2 Peter 3
1This second Epistle (beloued) I now write vnto you, in both which I stir vp your pure mindes by way of remembrance:
2That yee may be mindfull of the wordes which were spoken before by the holy Prophets, and of the Commandement of vs the Apostles of the Lord and Sauiour:
3Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last dayes scoffers, walking after their owne lusts,
4And saying, Where is the promise of his comming? For since the fathers fell asleepe, all things continue as they were frō the beginning of the creation.
5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heauens were of olde, and the earth standing out of the water, and in the water,
6Whereby the world that then was, being ouerflowed with water, perished.
7But the heauens and the earth which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserued vnto fire against the day of Iudgement, and perdition of vngodly men.
8But (beloued) bee not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand yeeres, and a thousand yeeres as one day.
2 Peter 3
15And account that the long suffering of the Lord is saluation, euen as our beloued brother Paul also, according to the wisedome giuen vnto him, hath written vnto you.
16As also in all his Epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to be vnderstood, which they that are vnlearned and vnstable wrest, as they doe also the other Scriptures, vnto their owne destruction.
17Ye therefore, beloued, seeing yee know these things before, beware lest yee also being led away with the errour of the wicked, fall from your owne stedfastnesse.
1 John 1
5This then is the message which we haue heard of him, and declare vnto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkenesse at all.
6If we say that we haue felowship with him, and walke in darkenesse, we lie, and doe not the trueth.
7But if wee walke in the light, as he is in the light, wee haue fellowship one with another, and the blood of Iesus Christ his Sonne clenseth vs from all sinne.
8If we say that we haue no sinne, we deceiue our selues, and the trueth is not in vs.
9If we confesse our sinnes, hee is faithfull, & iust to forgiue vs our sinnes, and to cleanse vs from all vnrighteousnesse.
10If we say that we haue not sinned, wee make him a liar, and his word is not in vs.
1 John 2
9He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkenesse euen vntill now.
10Hee that loueth his brother, abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.
11But he that hateth his brother, is in darknesse, and walketh in darknesse, and knoweth not whither hee goeth, because that darknesse hath blinded his eyes.
1 John 2
22Who is a lier, but hee that denieth that Iesus is the Christ? hee is Antichrist, that denyeth the Father, and the Sonne.
1 John 2
23Whosoeuer denieth the Sonne, the same hath not the Father: but he that acknowledgeth the Sonne, hath the Father also.
1 John 2
27But the anointing which ye haue receiued of him, abideth in you: and yee need not that any man teach you: But, as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is trueth, and is no lye: and euen as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
1 John 2
29If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that euery one which doeth righteousnesse, is borne of him.
1 John 3
1Beholde, what manner of loue the Father hath bestowed vpon vs, that wee should be called the sonnes of God: therfore the world knoweth vs not, because it knewe him not.
1 John 3
6Whosoeuer abideth in him, sinneth not: whosoeuer sinneth, hath not seene him, neither knowen him.
7Little children, let no man deceiue you: he that doth righteousnes, is righteous, euen as he is righteous.
8He that committeth sinne, is of the deuill, for the deuill sinneth from the beginning: for this purpose the Sonne of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the deuill.
9Whosoeuer is borne of God, doth not commit sinne: for his seede remaineth in him, and he cannot sinne, because he is borne of God.
10In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the deuill: whosoeuer doeth not righteousnesse, is not of God, neither hee that loueth not his brother.
11For this is the message that yee heard from the beginning, that wee should loue one another.
12Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slewe his brother: and wherefore slewe hee him? because his owne workes were euill, and his brothers righteous.
13Marueile not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
14Wee know that wee haue passed from death vnto life, because wee loue the brethren: he that loueth not his brother, abideth in death.
15Whosoeuer hateth his brother, is a murtherer, and yee knowe that no murtherer hath eternall life abiding in him.
16Hereby perceiue wee the loue of God, because he layd downe his life for vs, and wee ought to lay downe our liues for the brethren.
17But who so hath this worlds good, and seeth his brother hath need, and shutteth vp his bowels of compassion from him; how dwelleth the loue of God in him?
18My little children, let vs not loue in word, neither in tongue, but indeede and in trueth.
19And hereby wee know that wee are of the trueth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
20For if our heart condemne vs, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all things.
21Beloued, if our heart condemne vs not, then haue wee confidence towards God.
22And whatsoeuer we aske, wee receiue of him, because we keepe his commandement, and doe those things that are pleasing in his sight.
23And this is his commandement, that we should beleeue on the Name of his Sonne Iesus Christ, and loue one another, as hee gaue vs commandement.
24And hee that keepeth his commandements dwelleth in him, and hee in him: and hereby wee know that hee abideth in vs, by the spirit which hee hath giuen vs.
1 John 4
1Beloued, beleeue not euery spirit, but trie the spirits, whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2Hereby know ye the spirit of God: euery spirit that confesseth that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God.
3And euery Spirit that confesseth not that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh, is not of God: and this is that spirit of Antichrist, whereof you haue heard, that it should come, and euen now already is it in the world.
4Ye are of God, little children, and haue ouercome them: because greater is he that is in you, then he that is in the world.
5They are of the world: therefore speake they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6We are of God: hee that knoweth God, heareth vs: he that is not of God heareth not vs, hereby know wee the spirit of trueth, and the spirit of errour.
1 John 4
15Whosoeuer shall confesse that Iesus is the Sonne of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
1 John 4
20If a man say, I loue God, and hateth his brother, he is a lyar. For hee that loueth not his brother whom hee hath seene, how can he loue God whom he hath not seene?
21And this commandement haue we from him, that he who loueth God, loue his brother also.
1 John 3
1Whosoeuer beleeueth that Iesus is the Christ, is borne of God: and euery one that loueth him that begate, loueth him also that is begotten of him.
2By this wee know that wee loue the children of God, when we loue God and keepe his commandements.
3For this is the loue of God, that we keepe his commandements, and his commandements are not grieuous.
1 John 5
14And this is the confidence that we haue in him, that if wee aske any thing according to his will, hee heareth vs.
15And if we know that he heare vs, whatsoeuer wee aske, wee know that we haue the petitions that wee desired of him.
1 John 5
16If any man see his brother sinne a sinne which is not vnto death, hee shall aske, and he shall giue him life for them that sinne not vnto death. There is a sinne vnto death: I doe not say that he shall pray for it.
17All vnrighteousnes is sinne, and there is a sinne not vnto death.
Revelation 3
13Hee that hath an eare, let him heare what the Spirit saith vnto the Churches.
14And vnto the Angel of the Church of the Laodiceans, write, These things saith the Amen, the faithfull and true witnesse, the beginning of the creation of God:
15I know thy workes, that thou art neither cold nor hot, I would thou wert cold or hot.
16So then because thou art lukewarme, and neither cold nor hot, I wil spew thee out of my mouth:
17Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and haue need of nothing: and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poore, and blinde, and naked.
18I counsell thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest bee rich, and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakednesse doe not appeare, and anoint thine eyes with eye salue, that thou mayest see.
19As many as I loue, I rebuke and chasten, be zealous therefore, and repent.
Revelation 13
1 And I stoode vpon the sand of the sea: and saw a beast rise vp out of the sea, hauing seuen heads, and tenne hornes, and vpon his hornes tenne crownes, and vpon his heads, the name of blasphemie.
2 And the beast which I saw, was like vnto a Leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a Beare, and his mouth as the mouth of a Lion: and the dragon gaue him his power, and his seat, and great authoritie.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death, and his deadly wound was healed: and al the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gaue power vnto the beast, and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like vnto the beast? Who is able to make warre with him?
5 And there was giuen vnto him a mouth, speaking great things, and blasphemies, and power was giuen vnto him to continue fortie and two moneths.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemie against God, to blaspheme his Name, and his Tabernacle, and them that dwelt in heauen.
7 And it was giuen vnto him to make warre with the Saints, and to ouercome them: And power was giuen him ouer all kinreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwel vpon the earth, shall worship him, whose names are not written in the booke of life of the Lambe, slaine from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man haue an eare, let him heare:
10 Hee that leadeth into captiuitie, shall goe into captiuitie: Hee that killeth with the sword, must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the Saints.
11 And I beheld another beast comming vp out of the earth, and hee had two hornes like a lambe, and hee spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein, to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And hee doeth great wonders, so that hee maketh fire come downe from heauen on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiueth them that dwel on the earth, by the meanes of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast, saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an Image to the beast which had the wound by a sword, and did liue.
15 And he had power to giue life vnto the Image of the beast, that the Image of the beast should both speake, and cause that as many as would not worship the Image of the beast, should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both smal and great rich and poore, free and bond, to receiue a marke in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, saue he that had the marke, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisedome. Let him that hath vnderstanding, count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man, and his number is, sixe hundred threescore and sixe.
Genesis 1
26¶ And God said, Let vs make man in our Image, after our likenesse: and let them haue dominion ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the aire, and ouer the cattell, and ouer all the earth, and ouer euery creeping thing that creepeth vpon the earth.
27So God created man in his owne Image, in the Image of God created hee him; male and female created hee them.
28And God blessed them, and God said vnto them, Be fruitfull, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it, and haue dominion ouer the fish of the sea, and ouer the foule of the aire, and ouer euery liuing thing that mooueth vpon the earth.
Genesis 1
31And God saw euery thing that hee had made: and behold, it was very good. And the euening and the morning were the sixth day.
Chapter 2
1Thus the heauens and the earth were finished, and all the hoste of them.
2And on the seuenth day God ended his worke, which hee had made: And he rested on the seuenth day from all his worke, which he had made.
3And God blessed the seuenth day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his worke, which God created and made.
Genesis 2
18¶ And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone: I will make him an helpe meet for him.
Genesis 2
22And the rib which the LORD God had taken from man, made hee a woman, & brought her vnto the man.
23And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shalbe called woman, because shee was taken out of man.
24Therefore shall a man leaue his father and his mother, and shall cleaue vnto his wife: and they shalbe one flesh.
Genesis 3
1Now the serpent was more subtill then any beast of the field, which the LORD God had made, and he said vnto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of euery tree of the garden?
2And the woman said vnto the serpent, Wee may eate of the fruite of the trees of the garden:
3But of the fruit of the tree, which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shal not eate of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4And the Serpent said vnto the woman, Ye shall not surely die.
5For God doeth know, that in the day ye eate thereof, then your eyes shalbee opened: and yee shall bee as Gods, knowing good and euill.
6And when the woman saw, that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she tooke of the fruit thereof, and did eate, and gaue also vnto her husband with her, and hee did eate.
Genesis 3
16Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorowe and thy conception. In sorow thou shalt bring forth children: and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and hee shall rule ouer thee.
Genesis 3
17And vnto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened vnto the voyce of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commaunded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eate of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake: in sorow shalt thou eate of it all the dayes of thy life.
18Thornes also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee: and thou shalt eate the herbe of the field.
19In the sweate of thy face shalt thou eate bread, till thou returne vnto the ground: for out of it wast thou taken, for dust thou art, and vnto dust shalt thou returne.
Genesis 3
21Unto Adam also, and to his wife, did the LORD God make coates of skinnes, and cloathed them.
Genesis 3
22¶ And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of vs, to know good & euill. And now lest hee put foorth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eate and liue for euer:
23Therefore the LORD God sent him foorth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground, from whence he was taken.
Genesis 4
1And Adam knew Eue his wife, and shee conceiued, and bare Cain, and said, I haue gotten a man from the LORD.
2And she againe bare his brother Abel, and Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Genesis 4
3 And in processe of time it came to passe, that Cain brought of the fruite of the ground, an offering vnto the LORD.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flocke, and of the fat thereof: and the LORD had respect vnto Abel, and to his offering.
5 But vnto Cain, and to his offring he had not respect: and Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6 And the LORD said vnto Cain, Why art thou wroth? And why is thy countenance fallen?
7 If thou doe well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sinne lieth at the doore: And vnto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule ouer him.
Genesis 5
1This is the booke of the generations of Adam: In the day that God created man, in the likenes of God made he him.
2Male and female created hee them, and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Genesis 9
1And God blessed Noah, and his sonnes, and said vnto them, Bee fruitfull and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2And the feare of you, & the dread of you shall be vpon euery beast of the earth, and vpon euery fowle of the aire, vpon all that mooueth vpon the earth, and vpon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they deliuered.
3Euery mouing thing that liueth, shalbe meat for you; euen as the greene herbe haue I giuen you all things.
4But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall you not eate.
5And surely your blood of your liues will I require: at the hand of euery beast will I require it, & at the hand of man, at the hand of euery mans brother will I require the life of man.
6Who so sheddeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
7And you, be ye fruitfull, and multiply, bring foorth aboundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
Genesis 11
1And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speach.
2And it came to passe as they iourneyed from the East, that they found a plaine in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.
3And they sayd one to another; Goe to, let vs make bricke, and burne them thorowly. And they had bricke for stone, and slime had they for morter.
4And they said; Goe to, let vs build vs a city and a tower, whose top may reach vnto heauen, and let vs make vs a name, lest we be scattered abroad vpon the face of the whole earth.
5And the LORD came downe to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6And the LORD said; Behold, the people is one, and they haue all one language: and this they begin to doe: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they haue imagined to doe.
7Goe to, let vs go downe, and there cōfound their language, that they may not vnderstand one anothers speech.
8So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence, vpon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the Citie.
9Therefore is the name of it called Babel, because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad vpon the face of all the earth.
Genesis 12
1Now the LORD had said vnto Abram, Get thee out of thy countrey, and from thy kinred, and from thy fathers house, vnto a land that I will shew thee.
2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I wil blesse thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt bee a blessing.
3And I will blesse them that blesse thee, and curse him, that curseth thee: and in thee shal all families of the earth be blessed.
Genesis 24
51Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and goe, and let her be thy masters sonnes wife, as the LORD hath spoken.
52And it came to passe, that when Abrahams seruant heard their words, he worshipped the LORD, bowing himselfe to the earth.
53And the seruant brought foorth iewels of siluer, and iewels of gold, and raiment, and gaue them to Rebekah: He gaue also to her brother, and to her mother precious things.
54And they did eate and drinke, he and the men that were with him, and taried all night, and they rose vp in the morning, and he said, Send me away vnto my master.
55And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsell abide with vs a few dayes, at the least ten; after that, she shall goe.
56And he said vnto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD hath prospered my way: send me away, that I may goe to my master.
57And they said, wee will call the Damsell, and enquire at her mouth.
58And they called Rebekah, and said vnto her, Wilt thou go with this man? and she said, I will goe.
59And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abrahams seruant, and his men.
60And they blessed Rebekah, and said vnto her, Thou art our sister, bee thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possesse the gate of those which hate them.
61¶ And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, & they rode vpon the camels, and followed the man: and the seruant tooke Rebekah, and went his way.
62And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahai-roi, for he dwelt in the South countrey.
63And Isaac went out, to meditate in the field, at the euentide: and hee lift vp his eyes, and saw, and behold, the camels were comming.
64And Rebekah lift vp her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.
65For she had said vnto the seruant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet vs? and the seruant had said, It is my master: therefore shee tooke a vaile and couered her selfe.
66And the seruant tolde Isaac all things that he had done.
67And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarahs tent, and tooke Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loued her: and Isaac was comforted after his mothers death.
Genesis 29
21¶ And Iacob said vnto Laban, Giue me my wife (for my dayes are fulfilled) that I may goe in vnto her.
22And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23And it came to passe in the euening, that he tooke Leah his daughter, and brought her to him, and he went in vnto her.
24And Laban gaue vnto his daughter Leah, Zilpah his mayde, for a handmayd.
25And it came to passe, that in the morning, behold it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done vnto mee? did not I serue with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
26And Laban said, It must not be so done in our countrey, to giue the yonger, before the first borne.
27Fulfill her weeke, and wee will giue thee this also, for the seruice which thou shalt serue with mee, yet seuen other yeeres.
28And Iacob did so, and fulfilled her weeke: and he gaue him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29And Laban gaue to Rachel his daughter, Bilhah his handmayd, to be her mayd.
30And hee went in also vnto Rachel, and he loued also Rachel more then Leah, and serued with him yet seuen other yeeres.
31¶ And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, hee opened her wombe: but Rachel was barren.
32And Leah conceiued and bare a sonne, and shee called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely, the LORD hath looked vpon my affliction; now therefore my husband will loue me.
33And shee conceiued againe, and bare a sonne, and saide, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, hee hath therefore giuen mee this sonne also, and she called his name Simeon.
34And shee conceiued againe, and bare a sonne, and said, Now this time will my husband be ioyned vnto me, because I haue borne him three sonnes: therefore was his name called Leui.
35And shee conceiued againe, and bare a sonne: and she said, Now wil I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Iudah, and left bearing.
Ruth 3
1 Then Naomi her mother in law said vnto her, My daughter, shal I not seeke rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?
2 And now is not Boaz of our kinred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshing floore.
3 Wash thy selfe therefore, and annoint thee, and put thy raiment vpon thee, and get thee downe to the floore: but make not thy selfe knowen vnto the man, vntill hee shall haue done eating and drinking.
4 And it shall be when hee lieth downe, that thou shalt marke the place where hee shall lie, and thou shalt goe in, and vncouer his feete, and lay thee downe, and he will tell thee what thou shalt doe.
5 And shee said vnto her, All that thou sayest vnto me, I will doe.
6¶ And she went downe vnto the floore, and did according to all that her mother in law bade her.
7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunke, and his heart was merrie, hee went to lie downe at the ende of the heape of corne: and she came softly, and vncouered his feet, and laid her downe.
8¶ And it came to passe at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himselfe: and behold, a woman lay at his feete.
9 And hee said, Who art thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt ouer thine handmaid, for thou art a neare kinseman.
10 And hee said, Blessed be thou of the Lord, my daughter: for thou hast shewed more kindnesse in the latter ende, then at the beginning, in as much as thou followedst not yong men, whether poore, or rich.
11 And now my daughter, feare not, I will doe to thee all that thou requirest: for all the citie of my people doeth know, that thou art a vertuous woman.
Ezra 1
1Now in the first yeere of Cyrus King of Persia, (that the word of the Lord by the mouth of Ieremiah, might be fulfilled) þe Lord stirred vp the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdome, and put it also in writing, saying;
2Thus sayth Cyrus king of Persia, The Lord God of heauen hath giuen mee all the kingdomes of the earth, and he hath charged me to build him an house at Ierusalem, which is in Iudah.
3Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him goe vp to Ierusalem, which is in Iudah, and build the house of the Lord God of Israel (He is the God) which is in Ierusalem.
4And whosoeuer remaineth in any place where hee soiourneth, let the men of his place helpe him with siluer, and with golde, and with goods, and with beasts, besides the free-will offering for the house of God that is in Ierusalem.
5¶ Then rose vp the chiefe of the fathers of Iudah and Beniamin, and the Priests, and the Leuites, with all them whose spirit God had raised to goe vp, to build the house of the Lord which is in Ierusalem.
Nehemiah 13
23¶ In those dayes also sawe I Iewes that had maried wiues of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab:
24And their children spake halfe in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speake in the Iewes language, but according to the language of ech people.
25And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certeine of them, and pluckt off their haire, and made them sweare by God, saying, Yee shall not giue your daughters vnto their sonnes, nor take their daughters vnto your sonnes, or for your selues.
26Did not Solomon king of Israel sinne by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloued of his God, and God made him king ouer all Israel: neuerthelesse, euen him did outlandish women cause to sinne.
27Shall wee then hearken vnto you, to doe all this great euill, to transgresse against our God, in marrying strange wiues?
Daniel 2
19¶ Then was the secret reuealed vnto Daniel in a night vision: then Daniel blessed the God of heauen.
20Daniel answered and said; Blessed be the name of God for euer and euer: for wisedome and might are his:
21And he changeth the times and the seasons: he remoueth Kings, and setteth vp Kings: he giueth wisedome vnto the wise, and knowledge to them that know vnderstanding.
22He reuealeth the deepe and secret things: hee knoweth what is in the darknes, & the light dwelleth with him.
Daniel 3
1Nebuchad-nezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and þe breadth thereof sixe cubites: he set it vp in the plaine of Dura, in the prouince of Babylon.
2Then Nebuchad-nezzar the king sent to gather together the Princes, the Gouernours, and the Captaines, the Iudges, the Treasurers, the Counsellers, the Sherifes, and all the rulers of the Prouinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp.
3Then the Princes, the Gouernours and Captaines, the Iudges, the Treasurers, the Counsellers, the Sherifes, and all the rulers of the Prouinces were gathered together vnto the dedicatiō of the image, that Nebuchadnezzar the King had set vp, and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set vp.
4Then an herauld cryed aloud, To you it is commaunded, O people, nations, and languages,
5That at what time yee heare the sound of the cornet, flute, harpe, sackbut, psalterie, dulcimer, and all kinds of musicke, yee fall downe, and worship the golden image that Nebuchad-nezzar the King hath set vp:
6And who so falleth not down and worshippeth, shall the same houre bee cast into the middest of a burning fierie furnace.
7Therefore at that time, when all the people heard the sound of the cornet, flute, harpe, sackbut, psalterie, and all kindes of musicke, all the people, the nations, and the languages fell downe and worshipped the golden image, that Nebuchad-nezzar the King had set vp.
8¶ Wherefore at that time certaine Caldeans came neere, and accused the Iewes.
9They spake and sayd to the King Nebuchad-nezzar, O King, liue for euer.
10Thou, O King, hast made a decree, that euery man that shal heare the sound of the cornet, flute, harpe, sackbut, psalterie, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musicke, shall fall downe and worship the golden image:
11And who so falleth not downe & worshippeth, that he should be cast into the midst of a burning fierie furnace.
12There are certain Iewes whom thou hast set ouer the affaires of the prouince of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: these men, O King, haue not regarded thee, they serue not thy gods, nor worship the golden image, which thou hast set vp.
13¶ Then Nebuchad-nezzar in his rage and furie commaunded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: then they brought these men before the King.
14Nebuchad-nezzar spake and said vnto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego? doe not yee serue my gods, nor worship the golden image which I haue set vp?
15Now if ye be ready that at what time yee heare the sound of the cornet, flute, harpe, sackbut, psalterie, and dulcimer, and all kindes of musicke, ye fall downe, and worship the image which I haue made, well: but if yee worship not, ye shall be cast the same houre into the midst of a fierie furnace, and who is that God that shall deliuer you out of my handes?
16Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king; O Nebuchad-nezzar, we are not carefull to answere thee in this matter.
17If it be so, our God whom wee serue, is able to deliuer vs from the burning fierie furnace, and he will deliuer vs out of thine hand, O king.
18But if not, bee it knowen vnto thee, O king, that we will not serue thy gods, nor worship thy golden image, which thou hast set vp.
19¶ Then was Nebuchad-nezzar full of furie, and the forme of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego: therefore he spake and commanded, that they should heat the furnace one seuen times more then it was wont to be heat.
20And hee commaunded the most mighty men that were in his armie, to binde Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fierie furnace.
21Then these men were bound in their coates, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fierie furnace.
22Therefore because the Kings commandement was vrgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that tooke vp Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.
23And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell downe bound into the midst of the burning fierie furnace.
24Then Nebuchad-nezzar the king was astonied, and rose vp in haste, and spake and said vnto his counsellers, Did not wee cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said vnto the king; True, O king.
25He answered and said, Loe, I see foure men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they haue no hurt, and the forme of the fourth is like the sonne of God.
26¶ Then Nebuchad-nezzar came neere to the mouth of the burning fierie furnace, and spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, ye seruants of the most High God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came forth of the midst of the fire.
27And the princes, gouernours, and captaines, and the kings counsellers, being gathered together, saw these men, vpon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an haire of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.
28Then Nebuchad-nezzar spake and said; Blessed bee the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his Angel, and deliuered his seruants that trusted in him, and haue changed the Kings word, and yeelded their bodies, that they might not serue nor worship any God, except their owne God.
29Therefore I make a decree, That euery people, nation, and language, which speake any thing amisse against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill, because there is no other God, that can deliuer after this sort.
30Then the King promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the prouince of Babylon.
Daniel 4
30The King spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I haue built for the house of the kingdome, by the might of my power, and for the honour of my maiestie?
31While the word was in the Kings mouth, there fell a voice from heauen, saying, O King Nebuchad-nezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdome is departed from thee.
32And they shall driue thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field; they shall make thee to eate grasse as oxen, and seuen times shall passe ouer thee, vntill thou know that the most high ruleth in the kingdome of men, and giueth it to whomsoeuer he will.
33The same houre was the thing fulfilled vpon Nebuchad-nezzar, and he was driuen from men, and did eate grasse as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heauen, till his haires were growen like Egles feathers, and his nailes like birds clawes.
34And at the end of the dayes, I Nebuchad-nezzar lift vp mine eyes vnto heauen, and mine vnderstanding returned vnto me, and I blessed the most high, and I praised, and honoured him that liueth for euer, whose dominion is an euerlasting dominion, and his kingdome is from generation to generation.
35And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and hee doth according to his will in the armie of heauen, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say vnto him, What doest thou?
36At the same time my reason returned vnto me, and for the glory of my kingdome, mine honour, and brightnes returned vnto me, and my counsellers, and my Lords sought vnto me, and I was established in my kingdome, and excellent Maiestie was added vnto me.
37Now I Nebuchad-nezzar praise, and extoll and honour the King of heauen, all whose workes are truth, and his waies iudgement, and those that walke in pride he is able to abase.
Daniel 10
7And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with mee saw not the vision: but a great quaking fell vpon them, so that they fled to hide themselues.
8Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comelinesse was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
9Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his wordes, then was I in a deepe sleepe on my face, and my face toward the ground.
10¶ And behold, an hand touched me, which set me vpon my knees, and vpon the palmes of my hands.
11And hee said vnto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloued, vnderstand the wordes that I speake vnto thee, and stand vpright: for vnto thee am I now sent; and when he had spoken this word vnto me, I stood trembling.
12Then sayd hee vnto me; Feare not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou diddest set thine heart to vnderstand, and to chasten thy selfe before thy God, thy wordes were heard, and I am come for thy words.
13But the prince of the kingdome of Persia withstood mee one and twentie dayes: but loe, Michael one of the chiefe Princes came to helpe mee, and I remained there with the Kings of Persia.
14Now I am come to make thee vnderstand what shall befall thy people, in the latter dayes: for yet the vision is for many dayes.
15And when hee had spoken such words vnto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumbe.
16And behold, one like the similitude of the sonnes of men touched my lippes: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and sayd vnto him that stoode before me; O my Lord, by the vision my sorrowes are turned vpon me, and I haue retained no strength.
17For how can the seruant of this my Lord, talke with this my Lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in mee, neither is there breath left in me.
18Then there came againe and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthned me,
19And said; O man greatly beloued, feare not: peace be vnto thee, be strong, yea be strong; and when he had spoken vnto me, I was strengthened, and said; Let my Lord speake; for thou hast strengthened me.
20Then said hee, Knowest thou wherefore I come vnto thee? and now will I returne to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, loe, the prince of Grecia shall come.
21But I will shew thee that which is noted in the Scripture of trueth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.
Chapter 11
1Also I, in the first yeere of Darius the Mede, euen I stood to confirme and to strengthen him.
2And now will I shew thee the trueth. Behold, there shall stand vp yet three Kings in Persia, & the fourth shalbe farre richer then they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stirre vp all against the realme of Grecia.
3And a mighty King shal stand vp, that shall rule with great dominion, and doe according to his will.
4And when he shall stand vp, his kingdome shall be broken, and shall be diuided toward the foure winds of heauen; and not to his posteritie, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdome shall be pluckt vp, euen for others besides those.
5¶ And the King of the South shall be strong, and one of his princes, and he shall be strong aboue him, and haue dominion: his dominion shall be a great dominion.
6And in the end of yeeres they shall ioyne themselues together: for the Kings daughter of the South shall come to the King of the North to make an agreement, but she shall not retaine the power of the arme, neither shall he stand, nor his arme: but she shall be giuen vp, and they that brought her, and he that begate her, and he that strengthened her in these times.
7But out of a branch of her rootes shall one stand vp in his estate, which shall come with an armie, and shall enter into the fortresse of the King of the North, and shall deale against them, and shall preuaile:
8And shall also carie captiues into Egypt their gods with their princes, and with their precious vessels of siluer and of gold, and he shall continue moe yeeres then the King of the North.
9So the King of the South shall come into his kingdome, and shall returne into his owne land.
10But his sonnes shall be stirred vp, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come and ouerflow and passe through: then shall he returne, and be stirred vp euen to his fortresse.
11And the King of the South shall be moued with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, euen with the King of the North: and hee shall set forth a great multitude, but the multitude shall be giuen into his hand.
12And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted vp: and he shall cast downe many tenne thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.
13For the King of the North shall returne, and shall set forth a multitude greater then the former, and shall certainly come (after certaine yeeres) with a great armie & with much riches.
14And in those times there shall many stand vp against the King of the South: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselues to establish the vision, but they shall fall.
15So the King of the North shall come, and cast vp a mount, and take the most fenced cities, and the armes of the South shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.
16But he that commeth against him, shall doe according to his owne will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.
17He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdome and vpright ones with him: thus shall he doe, and he shall giue him the daughter of women corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.
18After this shall he turne his face vnto the yles, and shall take many, but a prince for his own behalfe shall cause the reproch offred by him to cease without his owne reproch: he shall cause it to turne vpon him.
19Then he shall turne his face towards the fort of his owne lande: but he shall stumble and fall, and not bee found.
20Then shall stand vp in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdome, but within few dayes he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battell.
21And in his estate shall stand vp a vile person, to whom they shal not giue the honour of the kingdome: but hee shall come in peaceably, and obtaine the kingdome by flatteries.
22And with the armes of a flood shall they bee ouerflowen from before him, and shall be broken: yea also the prince of the couenant.
23And after the league made with him he shall worke deceitfully, for hee shall come vp, and shall become strong with a small people.
24He shall enter peaceably euen vpon the fattest places of the prouince, and he shall doe that which his fathers haue not done, nor his fathers fathers, he shall scatter among them the praye and spoile, and riches: yea and he shall forecast his deuices against the strong holdes, euen for a time.
25And he shall stirre vp his power, and his courage against the king of the South with a great army, and the king of the South shall bee stirred vp to battell with a very great and mightie armie: but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast deuices against him.
26Yea they that feede of the portion of his meate, shall destroy him, and his armie shall ouerflow: and many shall fall downe slaine.
27And both these kings hearts shall be to doe mischiefe, and they shall speake lies at one table: but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall bee at the time appointed.
28Then shall hee returne into his land with great riches, and his heart shall be against the holy couenant: and he shall doe exploits, and returne to his owne land.
29At the time appointed he shall returne, and come toward the South: but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
30¶ For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieued and returne, and haue indignation against the holy Couenant: so shal he doe, he shall euen returne, and haue intelligence with them that forsake the holy Couenant.
31And armes shal stand on his part, and they shall pollute the Sanctuarie of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shal place the abomination that maketh desolate.
32And such as doe wickedly against the couenant, shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God, shall be strong and doe exploits.
33And they that vnderstand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captiuitie, and by spoile many dayes.
34Now when they shall fall, they shalbe holpen with a litle help: but many shall cleaue to them with flatteries.
35And some of them of vnderstanding shall fall, to trie them, and to purge, and to make them white, euen to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.
36And the king shall doe according to his will, and he shall exalt himselfe, and magnifie himselfe aboue euery god, and shall speake marueilous things against the God of gods, & shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined, shall be done.
37Neither shall hee regard the god of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnifie himselfe aboue all.
38But in his estate shall he honour the god of forces: and a God whome his fathers knew not, shall hee honour with gold, and siluer, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39Thus shall hee doe in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule ouer many, and shall diuide the land for gaine.
40And at the time of the end shall the king of the South push at him, and the king of the North shal come against him like a whirlewind with charets, and with horsemen, and with many ships, and he shall enter into the countreys, and shall ouerflow and passe ouer.
41He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countreys shall be ouerthrowen: but these shall escape out of his hand, euen Edom, and Moab, and the chiefe of the children of Ammon.
42He shall stretch foorth his hand also vpon the countreys, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43But he shall haue power ouer the treasures of gold and of siluer, and ouer all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shalbe at his steps.
44But tidings out of the East, and out of the North shall trouble him: therefore he shall goe foorth with great fury to destroy, and vtterly to make away many.
45And hee shall plant the tabernacles of his palace betweene the seas in the glorious holy mountaine, yet he shall come to his end, and none shall helpe him.
Chapter 12
1And at that time shall Michael stand vp, the great Prince which standeth for the children of thy people, and there shalbe a time of trouble, such as neuer was since there was a nation, euen to that same time: and at that time thy people shalbe deliuered, euery one that shalbe found written in the booke.
2And many of them that sleepe in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to euerlasting life, and some to shame and euerlasting contempt.
3And they that be wise shall shine as the brightnesse of the firmament, and they that turne many to righteousnesse, as the starres for euer and euer.
4But thou, O Daniel, shut vp the wordes, and seale the booke euen to the time of the ende: many shall runne to and fro, and knowledge shall bee increased.
Isaiah 1
19If yee be willing and obedient, yee shall eate the good of the land.
20But if yee refuse and rebell, yee shalbe deuoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Isaiah 3
12¶ As for my people, children are their oppressours, and women rule ouer them: O my people, they which lead thee, cause thee to erre, and destroy the way of thy paths.
13The Lord standeth vp to plead, and standeth to iudge the people.
14The Lord will enter into iudgement with the ancients of his people, and the Princes thereof: for ye haue eaten vp the Uineyard; the spoile of the poore is in your houses.
15What meane yee that yee beat my people to pieces, and grinde the faces of the poore, saith the Lord God of hosts?
16¶ Moreouer the Lord saith; Because the daughters of Zion are hautie, and walke with stretched forth necks, and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they goe, and making a tinkeling with their feet:
17Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crowne of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discouer their secret parts.
18In that day the Lord will take away the brauery of their tinckling ornaments about their feete, and their caules, and their round tyres like the Moone.
19The chaines, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
20The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legges, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earerings,
21The rings, and nose-iewels,
22The changeable sutes of apparell, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pinnes,
23The glasses, and the fine linnen, and the hoods, and the vailes.
24And it shall come to passe, that in steade of sweete smell, there shall bee stinke; and in stead of a girdle, a rent; and in stead of well set haire, baldnesse; and in stead of a stomacher, a girding of sackecloth; and burning, in stead of beautie.
Isaiah 5
20¶ Woe vnto them that call euill good, and good euill, that put darkenes for light, and light for darkenesse, that put bitter for sweete, and sweete for bitter.
21Woe vnto them that are wise in their owne eyes, and prudent in their owne sight.
22Woe vnto them that are mightie to drinke wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drinke.
23Which iustifie the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousnes of the righteous from him.
24Therfore as the fire deuoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaffe, so their root shall be rottennes, and their blossome shall goe vp as dust: because they haue cast away the Lawe of the Lord of hosts, and despised the worde of the Holy One of Israel.
Isaiah 6
1In the yeere that King Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord sitting vpon a throne, high and lifted vp, and his traine filled the Temple.
2Aboue it stood the Seraphims: each one had sixe wings, with twaine he couered his face, and with twaine hee couered his feete, and with twaine hee did flie.
3And one cryed vnto another, and sayd; Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hostes, the whole earth is full of his glory.
4And the posts of the doore moued at the voyce of him that cryed, and the house was filled with smoke.
5¶ Then sayd I; woe is me; for I am vndone, because I am a man of vncleane lippes, and I dwell in the midst of a people of vncleane lippes: for mine eyes haue seene the king, the Lord of hostes.
6Then flew one of the Seraphims vnto mee, hauing a liue-cole in his hand, which hee had taken with the tongs from off the altar.
7And he laide it vpon my mouth, and sayd, Loe, this hath touched thy lippes, and thine iniquitie is taken away, and thy sinne purged.
8Also I heard the voyce of the Lord, saying; Whom shall I send, and who will goe for vs? Then I saide; Heere am I, send me.
Isaiah 7
14Therefore the Lord himselfe shal giue you a signe: Behold, a Uirgine shall conceiue and beare a Sonne, and shall call his name Immanuel.
15Butter and hony shall he eat, that hee may know to refuse the euill, and choose the good.
Isaiah 8
20To the Law and to the Testimonie: if they speake not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
21And they shall passe through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and it shall come to passe, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselues, and curse their King, and their God, and looke vpward.
22And they shall looke vnto the earth: and behold trouble and darkenesse, dimnesse of anguish; and they shall be driuen to darkenesse.
Isaiah 45
5¶ I am the Lord, and there is none els, there is no God besides me: I girded thee, though thou hast not knowen me:
6 That they may knowe from the rising of the Sun, and from the West, that there is none besides me, I am the Lord, and there is none else.
7 I forme the light, and create darkenesse: I make peace, and create euill: I the Lord do all these things.
Isaiah 45
18For thus saith the Lord that created the heauens, God himselfe that formed the earth and made it, hee hath established it, he created it not in vaine, he formed it to be inhabited, I am the Lord, and there is none else.
19I haue not spoken in secret, in a darke place of the earth: I said not vnto the seed of Iacob, Seeke ye mee in vaine: I the Lord speake righteousnesse, I declare things that are right.
20¶ Assemble your selues and come: draw neere together ye that are escaped of the nations: they haue no knowledge that set vp the wood of their grauen image, and pray vnto a god that cannot saue.
21Tell ye and bring them neere, yea let them take counsell together, who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? Haue not I the Lord ? and there is no God else beside me, a iust God and a Sauiour, there is none beside me.
22Looke vnto mee, and be ye saued all the endes of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
23I haue sworne by my selfe: the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousnes, and shall not returne, that vnto me euery knee shall bowe, euery tongue shall sweare.
Isaiah 46
3¶ Hearken vnto me, O house of Iacob, and al the remnant of the house of Israel, which are borne by me, from the belly, which are caried from the wombe.
4And euen to your old age I am he, and euen to hoare haires will I cary you: I haue made, and I will beare, euen I wil cary and wil deliuer you.
Isaiah 46
5¶ To whom wil ye liken me, and make me equall, and compare me, that we may be like?
6 They lauish gold out of the bagge, and weigh siluer in the balance, and hire a goldsmith, and hee maketh it a god: they fall downe, yea they worship.
7 They beare him vpon the shoulder, they cary him and set him in his place, and hee standeth; from his place shall he not remooue: yea one shall cry vnto him, yet can he not answere, nor saue him out of his trouble.
8 Remember this, and shew your selues men: bring it againe to minde, O ye transgressours.
9 Remember the former things of old, for I am God, and there is none else, I am God, and there is none like me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsell shall stand, and I wil doe all my pleasure:
11 Calling a rauenous bird from the East, the man that executeth my counsell from a farre countrey; yea I haue spoken it, I will also bring it to passe, I haue purposed it, I will also doe it.
12¶ Hearken vnto me, ye stout hearted, that are farre from righteousnesse.
13 I bring neere my righteousnesse: it shall not bee farre off, and my saluation shall not tarie; and I wil place saluation in Zion for Israel my glorie.
Isaiah 47
13Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels: let now the astrologers, the starre-gazers, the monethly prognosticators stand vp, and saue thee from these things that shall come vpon thee.
14Behold, they shall be as stubble: the fire shall burne them, they shall not deliuer themselues from the power of the flame: there shall not bee a coale to warme at, nor fire to sit before it.
Isaiah 50
2 Wherefore when I came was there no man? when I called, was there none to answere? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeeme? or haue I no power to deliuer? Beholde, at my rebuke I drie vp the sea: I make the riuers a wildernes: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.
3 I clothe the heauens with blackenesse, and I make sackcloth their couering.
Isaiah 53
1Who hath beleeued our report? and to whom is the arme of the Lord reuealed?
2For he shall grow vp before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a drie ground: hee hath no forme nor comelinesse: and when wee shall see him, there is no beautie that we should desire him.
3He is despised and reiected of men, a man ofsorrows, and acquainted with griefe: and we hid as it were our faces from him; hee was despised, and wee esteemed him not.
4¶ Surely he hath borne our griefes, and caried our sorrowes: yet we did esteeme him striken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was vpon him, and with his stripes we are healed.
6All we like sheepe haue gone astray: we haue turned euery one to his owne way, and the Lord hath layd on him the iniquitie of vs all.
7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lambe to the slaughter, and as a sheepe before her shearers is dumme, so he openeth not his mouth.
8He was taken from prison, and from iudgement: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the liuing, for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9And he made his graue with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10¶ Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him, he hath put him to griefe: when thou shalt make his soule an offring for sinne, he shall see his seede, hee shall prolong his daies, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11He shall see of the trauell of his soule, and shalbe satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous seruant iustifie many: for hee shall beare their iniquities.
12Therefore will I diuide him a portion with the great, and he shall diuide the spoile with the strong: because hee hath powred out his soule vnto death: and he was numbred with the transgressours, and he bare the sinne of many, and made intercession for the transgressours.
Isaiah 56
1Thus saith the Lord, Keepe yee iudgement, and doe iustice: for my saluation is neere to come, and my righteousnesse to bee reuealed.
2Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the sonne of man that layeth holde on it: that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any euill.
3¶ Neither let the sonne of the stranger, that hath ioyned himselfe to the Lord, speake, saying, The Lord hath vtterly separated mee from his people: neither let the Eunuch say, Behold, I am a drie tree.
4For thus saith the Lord vnto the Eunuches that keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please mee, and take hold of my couenant:
5Euen vnto them will I giue in mine house, and within my walles, a place and a name better then of sonnes and of daughters: I wil giue them an euerlasting name, that shal not be cut off.
6Also the sonnes of the stranger that ioyne themselues to the Lord, to serue him, and to loue the Name of the Lord, to be his seruants, euery one that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my Couenant:
7Euen them will I bring to my holy mountaine, and make them ioyfull in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted vpon mine Altar: for mine house shalbe called an house of prayer for all people.
Isaiah 57
10Thou art wearied in the greatnesse of thy way; yet saydst thou not, There is no hope: thou hast found the life of thine hand; therefore thou wast not grieued.
11And of whom hast thou bene afraid or feared, that thou hast lyed, and hast not remembred me, nor layed it to thy heart? haue not I held my peace euen of old, and thou fearest me not?
12I will declare thy righteousnes; and thy workes, for they shall not profit thee.
Isaiah 58
13¶ If thou turne away thy foote from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my Holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honourable, and shalt honour him, not doing thine owne wayes, nor finding thine owne pleasure, nor speaking thine owne wordes:
14Then shalt thou delight thy selfe in the Lord, and I will cause thee to ride vpon the high places of the earth, and feede thee with the heritage of Iacob thy father; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
Isaiah 59
1Beholde, the Lords hand is not shortened, that it cannot saue: neither his eare heauie, that it cannot heare.
2But your iniquities haue separated betweene you and your God, and your sinnes haue hid his face from you, that he will not heare.
Isaiah 60
22A litle one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in his time.
Isaiah 66
9Shall I bring to the birth, & not cause to bring forth, saith the Lord ? shall I cause to bring foorth, and shut the wombe, sayth thy God?
Malachi 3
5And I will come neere to you to iudgement, and I will bee a swift witnesse against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppresse the hireling in his wages, the widowe, and the fatherlesse, and that turne aside the stranger from his right, and feare not me, saith the Lord of hosts.
Malachi 4
4¶ Remember yee the Law of Moses my seruant, which I commanded vnto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the Statutes and iudgements.
5¶ Beholde, I will send you Eliiah the Prophet, before the comming of the great and dreadfull day of the Lord.
6And hee shall turne the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
