THE object of this book is to bring together in cyclopedic form and under familiar headings all that the Bible contains on particular subjects. The subjects formulated are of practical value to every profession and to all who desire to con- sult the Bible. . The method pursued in preparing this Digest has been, first, to analyze top- ically each verse of the Bible, each series of verses, and each chapter and series of chapters; and, second, to group under suitable headings all the Scriptures related to the subjects found in the analysis. The first verse in the Bible may serve to illus- trate: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” “In the begin- ning.” Some authorities interpret this phrase as meaning the beginning of time; therefore the author noted, “Time, Beginning of, Gen. 1: 1.” Other authorities interpret it as referring to the beginning of the creation; therefore the author noted, “Creation, Beginning of, Gen. 1: 1.” “In the beginning God created.” The author noted, “God, Creator, Gen. 1: 1.” “In the beginning God created the heaven.” Note, “Heaven, Creation of, Gen. 1:1.” “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” “Earth, Creation of, Gen. 1: 1.” This process was faithfully adhered to throughout the work. - Three classifications of Scripture verses have been published in America, two of which are erroneously styled “a complete analysis” of the Scriptures. Each author followed, with slight and unimportant modifications in arrangement, Mr. Matthew Talbot's classification of verses made in England one hundred years ago. Mr. Talbot's mode of treatment was to arrange all verses of the Bible, as best he might, under thirty general headings. When each verse had been assigned under the heading to which it seemed best adapted the work he undertook was complete. He used no verse more than once, regardless of the many different and distinct subjects it might contain. It was consequently a classification of verses rather than a topical analysis of matter. American publishers have followed this erroneous mode of treatment, and as a result the so-called analyses of the Scriptures hitherto offered to Bible students and Christian teachers have been unsatisfactory. This Digest is an analysis of the matter without regard to verse divisions except for 240908 PREFACE. convenience of reference. . Verses, parts of verses, series of verses, and chapters are cited or quoted as often as they contain distinct subjects. Numerous verses are repeated from one to thirty times each, according to the number of subjects they contain and their position in extensive citations or extracts. The verse before referred to has been quoted or cited under five different and equally important headings, while other analyses quote it only once. The familiar verse, Rom. 5:1, “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,” is cited under nine headings; namely, Justification, Faith, Peace, Salva- tion by Faith, Jesus the Saviour, Atonement, Mediation, Propitiation, and Recon- ciliation, while in other analyses it is used but once, under Justification. Passages variously interpreted by different religious schools or accepted author. ities are cited under the subjects they are claimed to support, without reference to the personal views of the author. To provide against doubt that this Digest would be complete in its classification of matter respecting the principles and practice of law, I secured the assistance of the Honorable John Welch, Judge of the Supreme Court of the State of Ohio, U. S. A., and author of Weloh’s Index-Digest of Ohio Decisions. Judge Welch, made a consecutive and analytical study of the Bible for this work, from the stand- point of a learned jurist and successful author, and his notes have been incor- porated with the author's. Lawyers, judges, legislators, and statesmen may, there. fore, rely on this work as a complete and valuable handbook of the Bible for the purposes of their professions. All subjects relating to the principles and practice of law are classified under headings in common use. - Some subjects abound in the Scriptures to such an extent, and are used so fre- quently by religious teachers and others, that, were references only given in this work to the books, chapters, and verses containing them, the student would stagger at the thought of developing the topics. In order to make this class of subjects quickly and easily available the verses, or parts of verses, themselves are printed. This method of treatment might have been extended, but the size of a convenient volume had to be taken into consideration. Minor topics are made almost equally available by brief sub-topical divisions followed by references. One of the most important, and it is believed valuable, features of this book is its elaborate system of cross references to kindred and antithetical subjects. Wide scope is thus given each subject by connecting it with those to which it is related. Under the sub-topic, INSTANCEs or, are grouped all the illustrative facts that occur in the Scriptures relating to each subject. As a book of illustrations this work should prove valuable. It also contains numerous and elaborate Bible read- ings, with a wide range of subjects. An Index contains a handy reference to the pages and columns in which each verse of the Bible is quoted or referred to throughout the work, to enable - d *. PREFACE. anyone who may be studying any particular verse to find what topics the author noted in it, and with what Scriptures it is grouped. It was not the object of the author in preparing this Digest to develop religious subjects only, but to note and classify everything found in the Scriptures. It is believed that it is approximately exhaustive. It is the result of fourteen years of delightful and untiring study of the word of God, aided by my wife, Anna Semans Nave, who has been an indefatigable assistant from the inception of the work. All pioneer works of an analytic character, as well as all noteworthy commentaries, have been consulted, in order to bring into it all useful materials to be found. Its preparation was inspired by the obvious deficiency of such helps in the use of the Scriptures. This deficiency was felt by the author in preparing Sermons, lectures, and other forms of religious instruction. The quiet of army garrisons, apart from the rush and distraction of dense communities, has been favorable to its careful preparation. With the belief that it will contribute to make the Scriptures more quickly, easily, and fully available where particular subjects are under considera. tion, I offer it to the public. - AUTHOR, Fort McPherson, Ga. 5 A.

Whom the Lord loveth he chas- teneth, and Scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. , 7. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what Son is he whom the father chasteneth not ? 9. . . Shall we not much rather be in sub- jection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 1 John 3:1. Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons Of God: 2. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him ; 10. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 1 John 4:4. Ye are of God, little children, and have Overcome them ; because greater is ºthat is in you, than he that is in the WOTICE. 13 ADOPTION. ADULTERY. Rev. 21:7.

But, God Canne to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art bºtt a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken ; for she is a man's wife. 2 Sam. 12:14. Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great Occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. - Job 24:15. The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eyeshall See me: and disguiseth his face. 16. In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light. 17. For the morn- ing is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death. v. 18. Job 31:1. I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid? 9. If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neigh- bour's door; 10. Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her. 11. I'or this is a heinous crime; yet it is an iniquity to be p?!?!?shed by the judges. , 12. For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and Would root out all mine increase. Prov. 2:16. To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flat- tereth with her words: 18. Her house in- clineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. 19. None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. v. 17. Prov. 5:3. The lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: 4. But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged Sword. QjS. 5–22. Prov. 6:24. To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a Strange woman. 25. Dust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. 26. For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a picºe of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. 27. Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? 28. Can One go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? .. 29. So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever touch- eth her shall not be innocent. 32. But whoso Committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his Own Soul. 33. A wound and dishonour shall he get ; and his reproach shall not be wiped away. Prov. 7.5. That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words. 6. For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, 7. And beheld among the sim- ple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, 8. Pass- ing through the Street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, 9. In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: 10. And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of a harlot, and subtle of heart. 11. (She is loud and stub- born ; her feet abide not in her house : 12. Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) 13. So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face Said unto him, 14. I have peace offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows. 15. Therefore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. 16. I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. 17. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18. Come, let us take Our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. 19. For the goodman is not at home, he is gone along journey: 20. He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. 21. With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. 22. He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; 23. Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the Snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. Prov. 9:13. A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing. 14. For she sitteth at the door of her house, On a Seat in the high places of the city, 15. To call passengers who go right on their ways: 16. Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither; and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, 17. Stolen waters are Sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. 18. But he knoweth not that the dead are there: and that her guests are in the depths of hell. Prov, 22:14. The mouth of strange women 14 - * * ADULTERY. is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein. Prov. 23:27. For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit. 28. She also lieth in wait as for a prey, and in- creaseth the transgressOl’S among men. Prov. 29:3. He that keepeth company with harlots spendeth his substance. Prov. 30:18. There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not : 19. The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the Sea; and the way of a man with a maid. 20. Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and Saith, I have done no wickedness. Prov. 31:3. Give not thy strength unto women, northy ways to that which destroy- eth kings. Isa. 57:3. But draw near hither, ye Sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the whore. 4. Against whom do ye Sport yourselves? against whom make ye a wide mouth, and draw out the tongue 2 are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood, Jer. 3:1. If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted ? Jer. 5:7. How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adul- tery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses. 8. They were as fed horses in the morning: every One neighed after his neighbour's wife. Jer, 7.9. Will ye steal, murder, and com- mit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; 10. And come and Stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? Jer. 23:10. The land is full of adulterers, Ezek. 18:5. But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right, 6. And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstru- Ous woman, 9. . . . He is just, he shall surely live, saith the Tord GOD. Hos. 4:1. The LORD hath a controversy With the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. 2. By swearing, and ly- ing, and killing, and stealing, and commit- ting adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. 11. Whoredom, and wine, and new wine, take away the heart. Matt. 5:28. Whosoeverlooketh On a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 32. Whoso- ever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery; and whosoevershall marry herthat is divorced committeth adultery. Mark 10:11,12; Luke 16:18. Matt. 15:19. Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, Mark 7:21. Matt. 19.9. And I say unto you, Whoso- ever 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 adul- tery. Mark 10:11. Mark 10:19. Thou knowest the command- ments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, De- fraud not, Honour thy father and mother. Jas. 2:11. Acts 15:20. We write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, v. 29. Rom. 1:28. As they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them Over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient ; 29. Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wick- edness, covetousness, . . . 32. Who, know- ing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Rom. 7:3. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her hus- band be dead, she is free from that law ; so that she is no adulteress, though she be mar- ried to another man. 1 Cor. 5:9. I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10. Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters: for then must yeneeds go Out Of the world. 1 Cor. 6:15. Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall Ithen take the members of Christ, and make them the membersofan harlot? Godforbid. 16. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body ? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 18. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doethis without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1 Cor. 10:8. Neither let us commit forni- cation, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 2 Cor. 12:21. Azzol lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the un- cleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed. Gal. 5:19. The works of the flesh are man- ifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 21. Of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Tim. 1:9. Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but . . . 10. For whoremongers, for them that defile 15 ADUITERY. themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to Sound doctrine. 2 Tim. 3:6. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with di- verslusts, - 1 Pet. 4:3. The time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, . . . 4. Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same ex- cess of riot, speaking evil of you. 2 Pet. 2:9. The Lord knoweth how to de- liver the godly out of temptations, and to re- Serve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 10. But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of unclean- ness. 14. Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unsta- ble souls: Jude 7. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an ºple suffering the vengeance of eternal I’é. Rev. 2:20. Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel . . . to teach and to Se- duce my servants to commit fornication, . . . 21. And I gave her space to repent of her for- nication; and she repented not. 22. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that com- mit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. Rev. 9:21. Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, See LASCIVIOUSNESS; RAPE; SENSUALITY; SODOMY : WHORE; WHOREDOM. FORBIDDEN : Ex. 20:14. Thou Shalt, not commit adultery. Deut. 5:18; Matt. 5:27; 19: 18; Duke 18:20; Rom. 13:9; Jas. 2:11. Tev. 18:20. Moreover thou shalt not lie car- nally with thy neighbour's wife, to defilethy- self with her. Tev. 19:29. Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness. Deut. 23:17. There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a SOdomite of the Sons of Israel. Acts 15:20. We write unto them, that they abstain from fornication. Rom. 13:13. Det us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness. 1 Cor. 5:11. I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, . . . with Such an One no not to eat. U.S. 9,10. 1 Cor. 6:13. Now the body is not for forni- cation, but for the Lord ; and the Lord for the body. 15. Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take —ss the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 18. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 1 Cor. 10:8. Neither let us commit fornica- tion, as Some of them committed, and fell in One day three and twenty thousand. Eph. 4:17. This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind; 19. Who, being past feeling, have given themselves Over untolasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20. But ye have not so learned Christ; Eph. 5:3. But fornication, and all unclean- neSS, let it not be Once named among you, as becometh Saints; 11. Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12. For it is a shame even to Speak of those things which are done of them in Secret. Col. 3:5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, un- cleanness, inordinate affection, evil concu- piscence. 1 Thes. 4:3. This is the will of God, even your Sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4. That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in Sanctification and honour; 5. Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: 7. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. FORGIVENESS OF: INSTANCES OF. Judg. 19:1–4. John 8:10.

Now there- fore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt Surely die, thou, and all that are thine. Gen. 26:11. And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall Surely be put to death. Gen. 38:24. And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamarthy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt. Ex. 22:16. And if a man entice armaid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. 17. If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins. Lev. 19:20. And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to a husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedomgiven her; she shall be Scourged: they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. 21. And he shall bring his trespass offer- 16 -- -- -- ADULTERY. ing unto the LORD, unto the door of the taber- nacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering. 22. And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done; and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him. Lev. 20:10. And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neigh- bour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. 11. And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath un- covered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 12. And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them. Lev. 21:9. And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire. - Num. 5:11. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 12. Speak unto the children of Is- rael, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him, 13. And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner [in the act, R. V.]; 14. And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled; or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled: 15. Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frank- incense thereon; for it is an offering of jeal- Ousy, an Offering of memorial, bringing iniq- uity to remembrance. 16. And the priest Shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD : , 17. And the priest shall take holy Water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water: 18. And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse: 19. And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and Say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse: 20. But if thou hast gone aside to dº other instead of thy hus- band, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband: 21. Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall Say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a Curse and an Oath among thy people, among you. When the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell: 22. And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot. And the woman shall say, Amen, Amen. 23. And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water: 24. And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter. 25. Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar: 26. And the priest shall take a handful of the offer- ing, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water. 27. And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the Curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. 28. And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean ; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed. 29. This is the law of jeal- ousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled; 30. Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law. Deut. 22:13. If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, 14. And give occasion of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: 15. Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate: 16. And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; 17. And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. 18. And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him; 19. And they shall amerce him in a hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the dam- sel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days. 20. But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: 21. Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die; because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house; SO shalt thou put evil away from 22. If a man be found lying (2) l |- ADULTERY. with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: So shalt thou put away evil from Israel: 23. If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto a husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; 24. Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: SO thou shalt put away evil from among you. 25. But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her; then the man only that lay with her shall die: 26. But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him,even SO is this matter: 27. For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her. 28. If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found, 29. Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the dam- sel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days. Deut. 27:20. Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife: because he uncovereth his father's skirt: and all the people shall say, Amen. 22. Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother: and all the people shall say, Amen. 23. Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law: and all the people shall say, Amen. 2 Sam. 12:10. Now therefore the Sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. 11. Thus Saith the TORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. 12. For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the Süll). Jer. 29:22. The TORD make thee like Zede- kiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Bab- ylon roasted in the fire; 23. Because they have committed villamy in Israel, and have com- mitted adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them: even I know, and am a witness, saith the T.ORD. Ezek. 16:38. And I will judgethee,as wom- en that break wedlock and shed blood are judged: 40. They shall also bring up a com- pany against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords. 41. And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will ---, cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more. Ezek, 23:45. And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of adul- Ueresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they are adulter- eSSes, and blood is in their hands. 47. And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire. 48. Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness. Mal. 2:5. And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the Sorcerers, and against the adul- terers,and against false swearers,and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the IORD of hosts. John 8:4. They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned. 1 Cor. 5:1. It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such for- nication as is not So much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. 2. And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3. For Iverily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4. In the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5. To deliver such an One unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Tord Jesus. 6. Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump # 7. Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ Our pass- Over is sacrificed for us: 8. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. 9. I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10. Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go Out of the world. 11. But now I have Writ- ten unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, Or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such anone no not to eat. 12. For what have T to do to judge them also that are without 2 do not ye judge them that are within 8 13. But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wick. ed person. * 1 Cor. 6:9. Be not deceived: neither forni- 18 ADULTERY.

Neither let us commit fornica- tion, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. Gal. 5:19. The works of the flesh are mani- fest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 21. Of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you! in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. . Eph. 5:5. Ye know, that nowhoremonger, nor unclean person, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for be- cause of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Heb. 13:4. Whoremongers, and adulter- ers, God will judge. Rev. 18:9. And the kings of the earth, who have Committed fornication and lived deli- ciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, 10. Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city for in One hour is thy judgment come. Rev. 21:8. But the fearful, and unbeliev- ing, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Rev. 22:15. For without are dogs, and Sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murder- ers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. FIGURATIVE : Jer, Ezek. 16:15,16; Hos. 1.

Job 22:29. When ºver are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up ; and he shall save the humble person. Isa. 58:6. Is not this the fast that I have chosen 3 to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the op- pressed go free, and that ye breakevery yoke? 7. Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast Out to thy house? when thou Seest the naked, that thou cover him ; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? 10. And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday. Matt. 25:34. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35. For Iwasan hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36. Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we theean hungered, and fed t/lee * or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38. When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in 2 or naked, and clothed f/lee * 39. Or when Saw we thee Sick, or in prison, and came un- to thee? 40. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inas- much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42. For I was an hun- gered, and ye gave meno meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43. I was a stran- ger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye 19. AFFT,ICTIONS. clothed me not : sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee anhungered,orathirst, Orastranger,or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45. Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I Say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. - Luke 10:30. And Jesus answering said, A certain ºvan went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which strip- ped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was; and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 34. And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35. And On the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and Said unto him, Take care of him : and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will re- pay thee. 36. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 37. And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. Phil. 2:1. If there be therefore any conso- lation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2. Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 1 Tim. 5:10. If she have relieved the afflict- ed, if she have diligently followed every good work. Jas. 5:13. Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry 7 let him sing psalms. 14. Is any sick among you ?, let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the rame of the Lord : 15. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord Shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. AFFHLICTIONS AND ADVERSH- TIES.

Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that as a man chasteneth his SOn, 80 the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. 20 AFFLICTION S.–UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING To. 2 Sam. 7:14. I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: Job 3:1. After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. 2. And Job Spake, and said, 3. Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was Said, There is a man child conceived. 4. Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. 5. Det darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the black- ness of the day terrify it. 6. As for that night, let darkness Seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months. 7. LO, let that night be solitary; let no joyful voice come therein. 8. Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning. 9. Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day: 10. Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid Sorrow from mine eyes. 11. Why died I not from the womb' why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly 8 12. Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? 13. For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept : then had I been at rest, 14. With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves; 15. Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: 16. Or as an hidden un- timely birth I had not been ; as infants which never saw light. 17. There the wick- ed cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. 18. There the prisoners rest to- gether; they hear not the voice of the op- pressor. 19. The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. 20. Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in Soul; 21. Which long for death, but it cometſ, not : and dig for it more than for hid treasures; 22. Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? 23. Why is Wight given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in 2 24. For my sigh- ing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. 25. For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. 26. I was not in Safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble CàIIlê. Job 5:6. Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring Out of the ground; 7. Yet man is born unto trouble, as the Sparks fly upward. 17. Be- hold, happy is the man whom God correct- eth: therefore despise not thou the chasten- ing of the Almighty: 18. For hermaketh Sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole. Job. 6:1. But Job answered and said, 2. Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances to- gether! 3. For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up. 4. For the arrows of the Al- mighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me. 5. Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? Or loweth the Ox Over his fodder? 6. Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without Salt 7 or is there any taste in the white of an egg 7. The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat. 8. Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for 9. Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me Off! 10. Then should Iyet have comfort; yea, Iwould harden myself in Sorrow : let him not spare: for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One. 11. What is my strength, that I should hope 2 and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life? 12. Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of brass? 13. Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me? 14. To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Al- mighty. 15. My brethren have dealt deceit- fully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away; 16. Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the Snow is hid: 17. What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place. 18. The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish. 19. The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them. 20. They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither,and were ashamed. 21. For now ye are nothing; ye See any casu- ing down, and are afraid. 22. Did I Say, Bring unto me? Or, Give a reward for me of your substance? 23. Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? Or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty ? 24. Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred. 25. How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing re- prove? 26. Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind? 27. Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend. 28. Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie. 29. Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it. 30. Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things? Job. 7:2. As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the peºpard of his work: 3. So am Imade to pos- sess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me. 4. When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day. 5. My fleshis 21 • - - - clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome. 6. My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope. Job 9:18. He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness. Job 12:5. He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease. Job 14:1. Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. 22. His flesh upon him shall have pain, and his Soul within him shall mourn. Job 16:6. Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased ? 7. But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company. 8. And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against ºne: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face. 9. He teareth 77, e in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me. 10. They have gaped upon me with their mouth ; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me. 11. God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked. 12. I was at ease, but he hath bro- ken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark. 13. His archers com- pass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth Out my gall upon the ground. 14. He breaketh me with breach upon breach: he runneth | upon me like a giant. Job 17:7. Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members (tre as a shadow. 8. Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite. 9. The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. 10. But as for you all, do ye return, and come now : for I cannot find one wise man among you. 11. My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart. 12. They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness. 13. If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness. 14. I have said to cor- ruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister. 15. And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it? 16. They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together Čs in the dust. Job 19:7. Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. 8. He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. 9. He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. 10. He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone : and mine hope hath he removed like a tree. 11. He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies. 12. His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle. 13. He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. 14. My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. 15. They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. 16. I called my servant, and he gave ºne no answer; I entreated him with my mouth. 17. My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the chil- dren's sake of mine own body. 18. Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me. 19. All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me. 20. My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. Job 23:10. But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. Job 30:15. Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my Soul as the wind; and my welfare passeth away as a cloud. 16. And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me. 17. My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest. 18. By the great force of any disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the col- lar of my coat. 19. He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes. Job 33:19. He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain : 20. So that his life abbor- reth bread, and his soul dainty meat. 21. His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out. 22. Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. Job 36:8. And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction; 9. Then he showeth them their work, and their trans- gressions that they have exceeded. 10. He openeth also their ear to discipline, and com- mandeth that they return from iniquity. 11. If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. 12. But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. 15. He deliv- ereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression. Psa. 6:6. I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to Swim; I water my couch with my tears. 7. Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies. Psa. 18:4. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. 5. The Sorrows of hell compassed me about : the snares of death prevented me. 6.

For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed. 11.

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel. 13. For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life. Psa. 32:3.

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is ; that I may know how frail I am. Psa. 42:6. O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermon- ites, from the hill Mizar. 7. Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone OVél' Iſle. Psa. 55:4. My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. 5. Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. 6.

Save me, O God, for the waters are come in unto my soul. 2. I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. 3. I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my GOd. 20. Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for Some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. Psa. 73:10. Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung Out to them. Psa. 77:2. In the day of my trouble I Sought the Lord: my Sore ran in the night, and ceased not : my soul refused to be com- forted. 3.

Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou re- memberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. 6. Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. 7. Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast af- flicted ºne with all thy waves. 8. Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. 9. Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee. 10. Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? 11. Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruc- tion ? 12. Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? 13. But unto thee have I cried, O LORD ; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee. 14. LORD, why casteth thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me? 15. I am afflicted and ready to die from 72/youth up; while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. 16. Thy fierce wrath goeth Over me; thy terrors have cut me off. 17. They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together. 18. Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness. Psa. 89:32. Then will I visit their trans- gression, with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. Psa. 90:10.

For my days are consumed like Smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth. 4. My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; SO that I forget to eat my bread. 5. By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin. 6. I am like a pel- ican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert. 7. I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top. 8. Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are {e 23 AFFLICTIONS.–UNCLAssified SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. mad against me are sworn against me. 9. For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping, 10. Be- cause of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down. 11. My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass. Psa. 107:4. They wandered in the wilder- ness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. 5. Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. 10. Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; 17.

For all his days are Sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also vanity. IEccl. 7:2. It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feast- ing: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. 3.

Isa. 1:6. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying Sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with Ointment. Isa. 24:1. Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turn- eth it upside down, and Scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. 2.

The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken this word. 4. The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the haughty people of the earth dolan- guish. 5. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have trans- gressed the laws, changed the Ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. 6. There- fore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: there- fore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. 7. The new wine mourn- eth, the vine languisheth, all the merry- hearted do sigh. 8. The mirth of tablets ceaseth, the moise of them that rejoice end- eth, the joy of the harp ceaseth. 9. They shall not drink wine with a Song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drinkit. 10. The city of confusion is broken down; every house is shut up, that no man may come in. 11. There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land is gone. 12. In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction., 13. When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done. ... 14. They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall gry aloud from the sea. 15. Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in theisles of the Sea. 16. From the uttermost part of the earth, have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. . Isa. 26:16.

Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by ? be- hold, and see if there be any Sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, where- with the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger. Lam. 3:1. I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. 2. He hath led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light. 3. Surely against me is he turned ; he turneth his hand against 7726 all the day. 4. My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones. 5. He hath builded against me, and compassed ºne with gall and travel. 6. He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old. 7. |He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get out ; he hath made my chain heavy. 8. Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer. 9. He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone; he hath made my paths Crooked. 10. He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places. 11. He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces; he hath made me desolate. 12. He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. 13. He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins. 14. I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day. 15. He hath filled me with bitter- ness, he hath made me drunken with worm- wood. 16. He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes. 17. And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace; I forgat prosperity. 18. And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD : 19. Remembering mine afflictions and my misery, the worm- wood and the gall. 20. My Soul hath them? still in remembrance, and is humbled in me. 21. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 22. It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compas- sions fail not. 23. They are new every morn- ing: great is thy faithfulness. 24. The LORD 7s my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 25. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the TIORD. 27. It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. 28. He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne ?t upon him. 29. He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope. 30. He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach. 31. For the Lord will not cast off for ever: 32. But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. 33. For he doth not afflict willingly nor rieve the children of men. 34. To crush un- der his feet all the prisoners of the earth, 35. To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High, 36. To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not. Zech. 13:9.

For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with Salt. John 15:2. Every branch in me that bear- eth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. John 16:33. In the world ye shall have tribulation; 2 Cor. 1:8. For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 9. But we had the sentence of death in Ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: 2 Cor. 47. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed: we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9. Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Tord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12. So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 16. For which cause we faint not ; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. 2 Cor. 6:4.

And the night following the Tord stood by him, and said, Be Of good cheer, Paul; for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome. & - Rom. 8:28. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ' shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or naked- ness, or peril, or sword? 36. As it is written, £º 32 ! AFFLICTIONS.–CONSOLATION IN. For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37. Nay, in all these things weare more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor pow- ers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to Separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our TIOrd. Rom. 12:12. Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 15. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Rom. 15:4. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learn- ing, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. 2 Cor. 1:3. Blessed be God, even the Father Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Imer- cies, and the God of all comfort; 4. Who comforteth us in all Our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort where with we Ourselves are comforted Of God. 5. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 7. And Our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. 2 Cor. 4:8. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9. Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 16. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 2 Cor. 7:6. Nevertheless God, that com- forteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; 2 Cor. 12:9, And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strengthis made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Gal. 6:2. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the iaw of Christ. Phil. 1:19. For I know that this shall turn to my Salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 1 TheSS. 4:13. But Iwould not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye Sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 16. For the Lord him- Self shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first : 17. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and SO shall we ever be with the Lord. 18. Where- fore comfort one another with these words. 2 Thess. 1:7. And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be re- Vealed from heaven with his mighty angels. 2 Thess. 2:16. Now, Our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even Our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 17. Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. 2 Tim. 2:12. If we suffer, we shall also reign with him : -: 2 Tim. 4:17. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered Out of the mouth of the lion. Heb. 2:14. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also him- Self likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15. And deliver them, who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bond- age. 18. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to Succour them that are tempted. Heb. 4:15. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities: but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16. Tet us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Heb. 6:18. That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Heb. 12:1. Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set be- fore us, 2. LOOking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3. For con- sider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 4. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. Heb. 13:3. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. 5. Let your conversation be with- out covetousness; and be content with Such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Jas. 1:12. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he is tried, he shall re- ceive the Crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 27. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the l'ather is this, To visit the fatherless and (8) 33 AFFLICTIONS.–Driverssor FROM-DESIGN OF. widows in their affliction, and to keep him- self unspotted from the world. Jas. 5:8. Beye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 10. Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. 1 Pet. 2:21. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23. Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suf- fered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 24. Who his own self bare Our sins in his Own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 Pet. 4:12. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, asthough some Strange thing happened unto you: , 13. But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings, that when #. glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 14. If ye be re- proached for the name of Christ, happy are gye; for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you. 1 Pet. 5:7. Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 9. Knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. Rev. 2:9. I know thy works, and tribula- tion, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the Synagogue of Satan. 10. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison,that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days; be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a Crown of life. Bev. 3:2. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: 10. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world. to try them that dwell upon the earth. Rev. 7:14. These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among theny. 16. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17. For the Tamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. - - DELIVERANCE FROM. See PRAYER AN- swºrFD. DESIGN OF: Deut. 8:2. And thou shalt re- member all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the Wilderness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou would- est keep his commandments, or no. 16. Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end; - Deut. 30:1. And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the bless- ing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, 2. And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy Soul; 3. That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will re- turn and gather thee from all the nations, Mºher the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. Deut. 31:17. Then my anger shall be kin- dled against them in that day, and I will for- sake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us? Judg. 2:21. I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died: 22. That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not. 1]{in.8:33. When thy people Israel besmit- tendown before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house:34. Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers. with vs. 35–48; 2 Chr. 6:24–31. 2 Chr. 7:13. If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to de- vour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will healtheir land. . Job 33:11. He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths. 16. Then he open- eth the ears of men, and sealeth their in- struction, 17. That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. 18. He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the Sword. 19. He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain. 20. So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. 21. His flesh is con- Sumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his 34 AFFLICTIONS.–DESIGN OF. bones that were not seen stick out. 22. Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. 23. If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to Shew unto man his uprightness; 24. Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom. 25. His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth : 26. He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness. 27. He looketh upon men, and if aſy say, I have sinned, and perverted that w/vic/ was right, and it profited me not ; 28. He will de- liver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. 29. Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, 30. To bring back his soul from the pit, to be en- lightened with the light of the living. Job 36:8. And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction; 9. Then he sheweth them their work, and their trans- gressions that they have exceeded. 10. He openeth also their ear to discipline, and com- mandeth that they return from iniquity. Psa. 66:10. For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Psa. 106:43. Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their in- iquity. 44. Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry. Psa. 107:10. Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; 11. Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the coun- sel of the Most High: 12. Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. 13. Then they cried unto the TORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. 14. He brought them Out of darkness and the shad- ow of death, and brake their bands in Sun- der. 17. Fools, because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. 18. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. 19. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their dis- tresses. 20. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their de- structions. 21.

They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. 27. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end. 28. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bring- eth them out of their distresses. 29. He mak- eth the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. 30. Then are they glad be- cause they be quiet: So he bringeth them unto their desired haven. 31.

And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin; 26. And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city. 27. Zion shall be redeemed with judg- ment and her converts with righteousness. Isa. 4:3. And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jeru. salem: 4.

Tam. 1:5. Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions: Ezek, 6:10. And they shall know that I am, the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them. Ezek. 14:10. And they shall bear the pun- ishment of their iniquity: 11. That the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither be polluted any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my peo- ple, and I may be their God, saith the Lord GOD. Dan. 4:25.

And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule. 27. Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity. 34. And at the end of the days INebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose do- minion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation: Hos. 5:15.

And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offer- ing in righteousness. John 9:2. And his disciples asked him, say- ing, Master, who did sin, this man, or his par- ents, that he was born blind § 3. Jesus an- swered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. John 11:4. When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. John 15:2. Every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. John 21:19. This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Fol- low me. 1 Cor. 11:32. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. 2 Cor. 1:4. Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the com- fort where with we Ourselves are comforted of God. 5. For as the sufferingsof Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 6. And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and Salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same suffer- ings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and Sal- vation. 2 Cor. 4:11. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 17. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a º more exceeding and eternal weight of glory: 2 Cor. 12:7. And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. Phil. 1:29. For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; 30. Having the Same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me. 2 Thess. 1:4. So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God, for your pa- tience and faithin all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure. 5. Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: Heb. 2:10. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many Sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their Salvation perfect through sufferings. 11. For both he that Sanctifieth and they who are Sanctified are all of One: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren. 12. Saying, I will de- clare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. 13. And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me. 14. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil: 15. And deliver them, who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondago. 16. For verily he took not on him the avature of angels; but he took on him the Seed of Abraham. 17. Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make recon- ciliation for the sins of the people. 18. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to Succour them that are tempted. Heb. 5:8. Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9. And being made perfect, he be- came the author of eternal Salvation unto all them that obey him. Heb. 12:5. And ye have forgotten the ex- hortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked Of him : 6. For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons: for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not ? 8. But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, 36 AFFLICTIONS.–DESPONDENCY IN. then are ye bastards, and not sons. 9. Fur- thermore, we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them rev- erence: shall we not much rather be in sub- jection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10. For they verily for a few days chastened ws after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 11. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless, afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. 1 Pet. 1:6. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7. That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the ap- pearing of Jesus Christ : 1 Pet. 5:10. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle yout. Rev. 2:10. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

If I had called, and he had an- swered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice. 17. For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. 18. He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness. 19. If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?. 20. If I jus- tify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. 21. Though I were per- fect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life. 22. This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the per- fect and the wicked. 23. If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent. , 24. The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he? 25. Now my days are swifter than a post : they flee away, they see no good. 26. They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey. 27. If I Say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself; 28. I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent. 29. If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain? 30. If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean; 31. Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me. 32. For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him. a??d we should come together in judgment. 33. Neither is there any daysman betwixt, us, that might lay his hand upon us both. 34. Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me: 35. Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me. Psa. 22:1. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? ºphy art thout so far from help- ing me, and from the words of my roaring : 2. O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night Season, and am not silent. Prov. 24:10. If thou faint in the day of ad- versity, thy strength is small. Lam. 3:39. Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Mark 15:34. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpret- ed, My God, my God, why hast thou forsak- en me? Matt. 27:46. Luke 18:1.

In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; 16. Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, 17. That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. 18. He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from per- ishing by the sword. 19. He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multi- tude of his bones with strong pain. 20. So that his life abhorreth bread, and his Soul dainty meat. 21. His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out. 22. Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. 23. If there be a mes- senger with him, an interpreter, One among a thousand, to shew unto man his upright- mess; 24. Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit : I have found a ransom. 25. His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall re- turn to the days of his youth : 26. He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his right- eousness. 27. He looketh upon men, and ºf any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not ; 28. He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. 29. LO, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, 30. To bring back his Soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living. Psa. 8:2.

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16.

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29. That no flesh should glory in his presence. 1 Thess. 2:4.

And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it; ; 27. Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it ; that he may return unto his possession. , 28.

Yet they had a file for the mattocks, and for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the goads. Isa. 28:24.

When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the fitches, and Scatter the cummin, and cast in the principal wheat and the appointed bar- ley and the rie in their place 3 26. For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him. 27. For the fitches are not threshed with a threshing instrument, neither is a cart wheel turned about upon the cummin; but the fitches are beaten out with a staff, and the Cummin with a rod. 28. Bread corn is bruised; because he will not ever be threshing it, nor break it with the wheel of his cart, nor bruise it with his horse- IY) G]]. Matt, 13:3.

Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth : , and forthwith they sprung up, be- cause they had no deepness of earth - 6. And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them : 8. But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, Some sixty- fold, some thirtyfold. g 2 Cor. 9:6.

COMMANDMENTS AND PRACTICES CON- CERNING: Lev. 25:35. And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, Ora Sojourner: that he may live with thee. Deut. 14:28. At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine in- crease the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: 29. And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest. Deut. 15:7. If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: 8. But thou shaft open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt Surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth, 9. Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor broth- er, and thou givest him nought ; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee. 10. Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. 11. For the poor shall never cease Out of the land: therefore I com- mand thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. Tsa. 58:6. Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the op- pressed go free, and that ye break every yoke 2 7. Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou Seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Matt. 5:42. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of theeturn not thou away. Matt. 6:1. Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them : other- wise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet be- fore thee, as the hypocrites do in the syna- gogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 3. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4. That thinealms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in se- cret himself shall reward thee openly. Matt. 19:21. Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and Sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. Luke 11:41. But rather give alms of such things as ye have. Luke 12:33. Sell that yelhave,and givealms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. Rom. 12:8. He that giveth, let him do it with simplicity. 2 Cor. 9:5. Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness. 6. But this I say, He which Soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly ; and he which sow- eth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him gºve; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. Gal. 2:10. Only they would that we should remember the poor; 1 Tim. 6:18. That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Heb. 13:16. To do good and to communi- cate forget not : for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 1 John 3:17. But whoSO hath this world's good, and Seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him See BENEFICENCE; GIFTs; GIVING; LIBER- ALITY; POOR.

Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he ” Psa. 49:11. Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continate for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names. 12. Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not; he is like the beasts that perish. 55 AMIBITION. AMETHYST. 13. This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their Sayings. Isa. 5:8. Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth ! Hab. 2:5. Yea also, because he transgreSS- eth by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and is as death, and cannot be Satis- fied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people: 6. Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and Say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his how long 3 and to him that ladeth him- self with thick clay ! 9. Woe to him that coveteth an evil covet- ousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil! Matt. 4:8. Again the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and shew- eth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them : 9. And Saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan : for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Luke 4:5–8. Matt. 16:26. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in ex- change for his soul? Luke 9:25. Matt. 23:5. But all their works they do for to be seen of men : they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments. 6. And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief Seats in the syna- gogues. [Mark 12:38,39; Luke 11:43.] 7. And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 12. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased ; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. Mark 9:33. And he came to Capernaum: and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among your- selves by the way? [Tuke 22:24.] 34. But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the greatest. 35. And he sat down, and called the twelve, and said unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. 36. And he took a child, and set him in the midst of them: and when he had taken him in his arms, he said unto them, 37. Whosoever shall receive One of such children in my name, receiveth me; and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that Sent me: Matt. 18:1; Tuke 9:46. Mark 10:35. And James and John, the Sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master, we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire. [Matt. 20:20.] 36. And he said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you ? 37. They Said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit, One on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. 38. But Jesus Said unto them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the Cup that I drink of ? and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with ? 39. And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of ; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized: 40. But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared. 41. And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and John. 42. But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them, 43. But so shall it not be among you; but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your min- ister: 44. And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. [Luke 22:26.] 45. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. John 5:44. How can ye believe, which re- ceive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only ? 1 Tim. 3:1. This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. Jas. 4:1. From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your mem- bers? 2. Ye lust, and have not : ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because:ye ask not. 1 John 2:16. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. See PRIDE. INSTANCES OF: Lucifer, Isa. 14:12–15.

And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honour- able. 6. When a man shall take hold of his brother of the house of his father, saying, Thou hast clothing, be thou Our ruler, and Jeff this ruin be under thy hand: 7. In that day shall he swear, Saying, I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither breadnor clothing : make me not a ruler of the peo- ple. 8. For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen: because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory. Gal. 5:13. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an Occasion to the flesh, but by love Serve One another. 14. For all the law is fulfilled in One word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 2 Pet, 2:10. But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, Self willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11. Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 12. But these as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 13. And shall receive the reward of unright- eousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the daytime. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you; 14. Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable Souls: an heart they have exercised with cov- etous practices; cursed children: 15. Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son, of Bosor, who loved the wages of unright- eousness; 16. But was rebuked for his iniq- uity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. 17. These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18. For when they speak great swelling Quords of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wanton- ness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. Jude 8. Tikewise also these filthy dream- ers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. 9. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. 10. But these speak evil of those things which they know not : but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. 11. Woe unto them for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greed- ily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding them- Selves without fear: clouds they are with- out water, carried about of winds: trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13. Raging waves of the Sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is re- served the blackness of darkness for ever. ANATH, father of Shamgar, Judg. 3:31.

Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before,” as I have also told gow in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Eph. 4:26. Beye angry, and sin not : let not the Sun go down upon your wrath: 31. Tet all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: Col. 3:8. But now ye also put off all these; anger, Wrath, malice, 1 Tim. 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. Tit. 1:7. For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, nostriker, not given to filthy lucre: Jas. 1:19.

And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless. Ex. 33:5. For the LORD had said unto Mo- ses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments hº thee, that I may know what to do unto thee. Num. 11:1. And when the people com- plained, it displeased the LORD : and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. 10. Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent : and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; 33. And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD Smote the people with avery great plague. Num. 12:9. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed. Num. 14:11.

And the LORD Said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel. 11. Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was Zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. Num. 32:10. And the LORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, say- ing, 11. Surely none of the men that came up Out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob: because they have not wholly followed me: 13. And the LORD's anger was kindled against Israel, and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the gen- eration, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed. Deut. 6:14. Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you; 15. (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth. Deut. 9:13. Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, Saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 14. Tet me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot Out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they. [Ex. 32:10.] 18. And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wicked- ly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. 19. For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, 20. And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him : and I prayed for Aaron also the same time. Deut. 32:21. They have moved me to jeal- ousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. 22. For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. Josh. 7:1. But the children of Israel Com- mitted a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the Son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing : and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children Of Israel. 26. So the LORD turned from the fierceness of his anger. Josh. 23:16. When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourself to them ; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you. Judg. 2:12.

Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved (5) 65 ANGER.—OF GOD. and shook, because he was wroth. 9. There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire Out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 1 Kin. 11:9. And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which had appeared unto him twice. 1 Kin. 16:7. And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the Son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, U.S. 2–13. 2 Kin. 13:3. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, 2 Kin. 17:18. Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there was none left but the tribe Of Judah only. 2 Kin. 22:13. Great is the wrath of the DORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us. 2 Kin. 23:26. Notwithstanding the LORD burned not from the fierceness of his great wrath, where with his anger was kindled against Judah, Psa. 7:11. God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. Psa. 69:24. Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. Psa. 74:1. O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever ? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? Psa. 76:7. Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry 2 Psa. 78:21. Therefore the TORD heard this, and was wroth : so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; 38. But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not : yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. 49. He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. 50. He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pesti- lence; Psa. 85:3. Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. Psa. 90:11. Who knoweth the power of thine anger ? even according to thy fear, so Žs thy wrath. Psa. 103:8. The LORD is merciful and gra- cious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. 9. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. Psa. 106:23. Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them. 29. Thus they provoked him to anger with their in- ventions: and the plague brake in upon them. 32. They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Mo- ses for their Sakes: Psa. 110:5. The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. Isa. 5:25. Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills did trem- ble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still. Isa. 9:17,19,21. Isa. 12:1. And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou Comfortedst me. Isa. 13:9. Behold the day of the TORD com- eth, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall de- stroy the sinners thereof out of it. 13. There- fore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. Isa. 30:27. Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire: Isa. 42:25.

Isa. 48:9. For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off. Isa. 57:16. For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the Souls which I have made. 17. For the iniquity of his covet- Ousness was I wroth, and Smote him : I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart. Isa. 63:3. I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury ; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. 4. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. 5. And I looked, and there was nome to help ; and I wondered that there was mone to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought Salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. 6. And I will tread down the people in minean- ger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth. Isa. 66:15. For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirl- wind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. 66 ANGER.—OF GOD. Jer, 3:12. Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, Saith the LORD ; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever. Jer. 4:4. Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem : lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, be- cause of the evil of your doings. 8. For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us. 26. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger. Jer. 7:20. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched. Jer. 10:10. But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king : at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. Jer. 17:4.

Jer. 21:5. And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath. 6. And I will Smite the in- habitants of this city, both man and beast : they shall die of a great pestilence. Jer. 23:20.

For thus Saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. 16. And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. 17. Then took Ithe cup at the LORD's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me: 37. And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD. 38. He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger. Jer. 32:37. Behold, I will gather them out Of all countries, whither I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely : Jer. 33:5. They come to fight with the Chal- deans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose yºkedness I have hid my face from this CIUy. Jer, 36:7. It may be they will present their Supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people. Jer. 42:18.

My people, go ye out of the midst of her, and deliver ye every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD. Tam. 2:1. How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger! 3. He hath cut off in./vis fierce anger all the horn of Israel: he hath drawn back his right hand from before the enemy, and he burned against Jacob like a flaming fire, which de- voureth round about. 6. And he hath vio- lently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and Sabbaths to be forgot- ten in Zion, and hath despised in the indig- nation of his anger the king and the priest.

Thus shall mine anger be ac- complished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken ăt in my zeal, when I have accomplished my fury in them. 15.

I the LORD have spoken it. Ezek. 25:14. And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall doin Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD. 15. Thussaith the Lord GOD: Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred; 16. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold I will stretch out mine hand upon the Philis- 67 ANGER.—OF GOD. ANIMALS. times, and I will cut off the Cherethinns, and destroy the remnant of the Sea coast. 17. And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall lay "my vengeance upon them. Dan. 9:16. O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for Our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a re- proach to all that are about us. Hos. 11:9. I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim : for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city. Hos. 13:11. I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took him away in my wrath. Hos. 14:4. I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely : for mine anger is turned away from him. Nah. 1:2.

The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirl- wind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. 6. Who can stand be- fore his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. Matt. 22:7. But when the king heard there- of, he was wroth : and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 13. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnash- ing of teeth. ROm. 1:18. For the wrath of GOd is re- vealed from heaven against all ungºdliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the Jruth in unrighteousness; Rom. 35. But after thy hardness and im- penitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revela- tion of the righteous judgment of God; Eph. 5:6. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Col. 3:6. For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedi- €IlC6 : Heb. 3:11. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest. Heb. 4:3. Rev. 6:16. And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth On the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb : 17. For the great day of his wrath is come ; and who shall be able to stand 2 Rev. 14:10. The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his in- dignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb : 11.

And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, Seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. 7.

And the great city was di- vided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in re- membrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. Bev. 19:15. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

Ex. 21:28. If anox gore a man Ora woman, that they die: then the Ox shall be Surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the Ox shall be quit. 29.

And if a man shall open a pit, Or if a man shall dig a pit, and not cover it, and an OX or an ass fall therein; 34. The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner of them ; and the dead beast shall be his. 35. And if one man's ox hurt an- other's, that he die; then they shall sell the live ox, and divide the money of it ; and the dead oac also they shall divide. 36. Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his owner hath not kept him in ; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead shall be his own. Ex. 22:1. If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it ; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep. 2. If a thief be found breaking up, and be smitten that he die, there shall no blood be shed for him. 3. If the surl be risen upon him, there shall be blood shed for him; for he should make full restitution; if he have nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft. 4. If the theft be certainly found in his hand alive, whether it be Ox, or ass, Or sheep; he shall restore double. Ex. 23:5. If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him. Deut. 22:4. 12. Six days thou shall, do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the SOn of thy handmaid, and the Stranger, may be refreshed. - Lev. 19:19. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: Deut. 22:6. If a bird's nest chance to be be- fore thee in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young Ones, or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, thou shalt not take the dam with the young: 7. But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days. - 10. Thou shalt not plow with an ox and an ass together. Deut. 25:4. Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. 1 Tim. 5:18. Prov. 12:10. A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast ; but the tender mercies Of the wicked are cruel.

And on the Seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3. And God blessed the Seventh day, and sanctified it : because that in it he had rested from all his work. [Ex. 31:17.] 19. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: Gen. 6:6. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. Ex. 32:14; Judg. 2:18; 1 Sam. 15:35; 2 Sam. 24:16; 1 Chr. 21:15; Psa. 106:45; Jer. 26:19; Amos 7:3. Gen. 9:16. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may re- member the everlasting Covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. Gen. 11:5. And the LORD came down to See the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 7. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand One another's speech. Num, 11:25. Gen. 18:17. And the IORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18. Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations Of the earth shall be blessed in him ? 19. For I know him, that he will command his chil- dren and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do jus- tice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. 21. I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether ac- cording to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. 33. And the LORD went his way, as Soon as he had left communing with Abraham : Gen. 19:29. And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, Gen. 22:12. And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him : for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son, from me. Gen. 28:13. And, behold, the LORD stood above it, Gen. 35:13. And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him. Ex. 2:24. And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. Ex. 3:8. And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, Ex. 14:24. And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, Ex. 20:5. For I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, Bsa. 31:2. Bow down thine ear to me; Psa. 33:6. By the word of the LORD were the heavens made ; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. Psa. 35:1. Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me : fight against them that fight against me. 2. Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help. 3. Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy Salvation. Psa. 36:7. How excellent is thy loving- kindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. Psa. 57:1. In the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be Overpast. Psa. 68:17. The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: Psa. 94.9. He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not See? Psa. 121:4. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. Isa. 1:15. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: Ezek. 1:24. And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of great waters, as the voice of the Almighty, the voice of speech, as the noise of an host : when they stood, they let down their wings. 28. As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the ap- pearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of 70 ANTHROPOMORPHISMS. APOSTASY. the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of One that spake, Hab. 1:13. Thow art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he’ 1 Pet. 3:12. For the eyes of the Lord are Over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord Øs against them that do evil.

But ye are they that forsake the TORD, that forget my holy mountain, that prepare a table for that troop, and that furnish the drink offering unto that number. 12. Therefore will Inumber you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes,and did choose that wherein I delighted not. 13. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my Serv- ants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty : be- hold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed: 14. Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but yeshall cry for Sor- row of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit. 15. And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name: 16. That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he that Sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes. Perhaps 71 APOSTASY. Jer. 17:5. Cursed be the man whose heart departeth from the LORD. 6. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Ezek. 3:20. When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit in- iquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Ezek. 18:24. But when the righteous turn- eth away from his righteousness, and com- mitteth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live 2 All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. 26. When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth in. iguity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. Ezek. 33:12. Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not de- liver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the right- eous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth. 13. When Ishall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. 18. When the righteous turneth from his right- eousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby. Matt. 13:20. But he that received the Seed into stony places, the same is he that hear- eth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it ; 21. Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while : for when tribulation Or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. Mark 4:5–17; Luke 8:13. Matt. 24:10. And then shall many be of. fended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. v. 12. Luke. 11:24. When the unclean spirit is gone Out of a man, he walketh through dry places, Seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came Out. 25. And when he cometh, he find- eth it swept and garnished. 26. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. John 15:6. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. Acts 7:39. Whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust him from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt, 40. Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go be- fore us: for as for this Moses, which brought us out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 41. And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. 42. Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven ; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and Sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? 43. Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them : and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. 1 Cor. 9:27. But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. 2 Thess. 2:3. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shallºot come, ex- cept there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the Son of per- dition ; 11. And for this cause God shall Send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie : 12. That they all might be damned who believe not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 1 Tim. 4:1. Now the Spirit speaketh ex- pressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to sedu- cing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2. Speaking lies in hypocrisy ; having their conscience seared with a hot iron ; 2 Tim. 3:1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false ac- cusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4. Traitors, heady, highmind- ed, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, SO do these also resist the truth: men of cor- º minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9. But they shall proceed no further; for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. 2 Tim. 4:3. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. Heb.6:4. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of 72 APOSTASY. APOTHECARY. the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5. And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6. If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; see- ing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7. For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh Oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 8. But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. Heb. 10:26. For if wesin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27. But a certain fearful looking for of judg- ment and fiery indignation, which shall di vour the adversaries. 28. He that de- spised Moses' law died without mercy under two Or three witnesses: 29. Of how much SOrer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the Covenant, where with he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 2 Pet. 2:1. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 15. Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the so? of Bosor, who loved the wages of unright- eousness; 17. These are wells without wa- ter, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 20. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy command- ment delivered unto them. 22. But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. 2 Pet. 3:17. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfast- IlêSS. - Jude 4. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of Old Ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness,and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 5. I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye Once knew this, how that the IOrd, having saved the people Out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. See BACKSLIDING ; REPROBACY.

And the Sun stood still, and the Ymoon stayed, until the people had avenged Whennselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher ? So the sun istood still in the midst of heaven, and has- tened not to go down about a whole day. 14. And there was no day like that before it or * after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the * of a man: for the LORD fought for Is- I’a,621. Job 9:6.

And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. 12. And the fourth angel Sounded, and the third part of the sun was Smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. Rev. 9:1. And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bot- tomless pit. 2. And he opened the bottom- less pit ; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the Smoke of a great furnace ; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. Rev. 10:1. And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire: 2.

His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14. And the armies 70/lich were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. Bev. 21:1.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your Souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the SOul. Lev. 19:22. And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the tres- pass offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath done : and the sin which he hath done shall be forgiven him. Num. 15:22. And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses, 23. Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD commanded Moses, and henceforward among your generations; 24. Then it shall be, if antg/ºt be committed by ignorance with- Out the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet sa- vour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, according to the man- ner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offer- ing. 25. And the priest shall make an atone- ment for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them: for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignorance: 26. And it shall be for- given all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that Sojourneth among them ; seeing all the people were in ignorance. 27. And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering. 28. And the priest shall make an atonement for the Soul that sinneth ignorantly when he sinneth by ignorance before the TORD, to make an atone- ment for him; and it shall be forgiven him. Num. 28:30. One kid of the goats, to make an atonement for you. v. 22; Num.29:5,10,11. Heb. 9:22. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thounot required. 7. Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, 8. I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. Heb. 10:5–9. Isa. 53.4. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our Sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5. But he was wounded for our transgres- sions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of Our peace was upon him ; and with his stripes we are healed. 6. All we like sheep have gone astray : we have turned every One to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth : he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living : for the transgression of my people washestricken. 10. Yet it pleased the TORD to bruise him ; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an of- fering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11. He shall See of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my right- eous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his Soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made interces. sion for the transgreSSOrS. Sº, ATONEMENT—MADE By Jrsus Dan. 9:24. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniq- uity, and to bring in everlasting righteous- ness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. 25. Know there- fore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince, shall be seven weeks, and threeScore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 26. And after threescore and two weeks shall Mes- siah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall de- stroy the city and the sanctuary ; and the end thereof s/hall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are deter- mined. 27. And he shall confirm the cov- enant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the Sacrifice and the Oblation to cease, and for the Over- spreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. - Zech. 13:1. In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. Matt. 26:28. For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Luke 22:20. Luke 24:46. And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day : 47. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. John 1:29. The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and Saith, Behold the Tamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the wOrld. v. 36. John 6:51. The bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. John 11:49. And one of them, named Caia- phas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, 50. Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that One man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 51. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation: Acts 17:2. And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures. 3. Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ. Acts 20:28. Take heed therefore unto your- selves, and to all the flock, Over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath pur- chased with his own blood. Rom. 3:24. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26. To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which be- lieveth in Jesus. Rom. 4:25. Who was delivered for Our Of- fences, and was raised again for our justifi- cation. *: Rom. 5:1. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ : 2. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 6. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the un- godly. 7. For Scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man. Some would even dare to die. 8. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9. Much more then, being now justi- fied by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being rec- onciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. 15. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift : for the judgment was by one to con- demnation, but the free gift is of many of— fences unto justification. 17. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. 18. Therefore as by the Offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the right- eousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19. For as by One man's disobedience many were made sinners, SO by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21. That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ Our Lord. 1 Cor. 1:17. For Christ sent me not to bap- tize, but to preach the gospel: not with wis- dom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 18. For the preach- ing of the cross is to them that perish fool- ishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 23. But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, 86 ATONEMENT.—MADE By JESUS. and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24. But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom. Of GOd. 1 Cor. 15:3. For I delivered unto you first Of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; 2 Cor. 5:18. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of recon- ciliation; 19. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not im- puting their trespasses unto them; and hath committed untous the word of reconciliation. Gal. 1:3. Grace be to you, and peace, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4. Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and Our Father: Gal. 4:4. But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5. To re- deem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of Sons. Eph. 1:7. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Eph. 2:13. But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between ads; 15. Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in Ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace: 16. And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17. And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Eph. 5:2. Walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet- Smelling savour. v. 25. Col. 1:14. In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 19. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20. And, hav- ing made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven, 21. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22. In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight : 1 Thess. 5:9. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10. Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 1 Tim. 2:5. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6. Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time: Tit. 2:14. Who gave himself forus, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zeal- ous of good works. Heb. 1:3. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high ; Heb. 2:9. That he by the grace of God should taste death for everyman. 17. Where- fore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. Heb. 9:12. Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer Sprinkling the unclean, Sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh : 14. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15. And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eter- nal inheritance. 25. Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest en- tereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; 26. For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now Once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the Sacrifice of himself. Heb. 10:1. For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sac- rifices which they offered year by year con- tinually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshipper Once purged should have had no more con Science of sins. 3. But in those sacrific there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. , 4. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 5. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offer- ing thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6. In burnt offerings and sac- 7%fices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7. Then said I, LO, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 8. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 9. 87 ATONEMENT. Then said he, Lo, I come to dothy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may estab- lish the second. 10. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offer- ing oftentimes the same Sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12. But this man, after he had offered One sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 18. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. 19. Having there- fore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20. By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated forus, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; Heb. 12:24. And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprink- ling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Heb. 13:12. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might Sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. 20. Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead Our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21. Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, 1 Pet. 1:18. Forasmuch that ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19. But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blem- ish and without spot: 20. Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 1 Pet. 2:24. Who his Own self bare Our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto right- eousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 Pet. 3:18. For Christ also hath. Once suf- fered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 1 John 1:7. The blood of Jesus Christ his $on cleanseth us from all sin. 1 John 2:2. He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John 3:5. Ye know that he was mani- fested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1 John 4:10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for Our sins. 1 John 5:6. This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. Bev. 1:5. Unto him that loved us, and washedus from our sins in his own blood, Rev. 5:9. And they sung a new song, say- ing, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; AVENGER OF BLOOD. Rev. 7:14. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Rev. 12:11. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

And Surely your blood of your lives will I re- quire; at the hand of every beast will I re- quire it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. 6. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. Num. 35:19. The revenger of blood himself shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him. 20. But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him by laying of wait, that he die; 21. Or in enmity Smite him with his hand, that he die: he that Smote him shall Surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he meeteth him. 22. But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait, 23. Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing hºm not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and Quals not his enemy, neither sought his harm: 24. Then the congregation shall judge be- tween the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments: 25. And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil. 26. But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled; 27. And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood Kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood: 28. Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest : but after the death of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession. 29. So these things shall be for a Statute of judgment unto you throughout your generations in all your dwellings. Deut. 19:4. And this is the case of the slay- er, which shall fleethither, that he may live: Whoso killeth his neighbour ignorantly, whom he hated not in time past; 5. As when a man goeth into the wood with his neighbour to hew wood, and his hand fetch- eth a stroke with the ax to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of those cities, and live: 6. Lest the avenger of the blood pursue the slayer, while his heart is hot, and Over- take him, because the way is long, and slay him; whereas he was not worthy of death, inasmuch as he hated him not in time past. 7. Wherefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt separate three cities for thee. 8. And if the LORD thy God enlarge thy coast, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, and give thee all the land which he promised to give unto thy fathers; 9. If thou shalt keep all these commandments to do them, which I command thee this day, to love the LORD thy God, and to walk ever in his ways: then shalt thou add three cities more for thee, besides these three: 10. That innocent blood be not shed in thy land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inherit- ance, and so blood be upon thee. 11. But if any man hate his neighbour, and lie in wait for him, and rise up against him, and smite him mortally that he die, and fleeth into one of these cities: 12. Then the elders of his city shall send and fetch him thence, and deliver him unto the hand of the avenger of blood, that he may die. 13. Thine eye shall not pity him, but thou shalt put away the guilt of innocent blood from Israel, that it may go well with thee. Josh 20:1. The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying, 2. Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Appoint Out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses: 3. That the slayer that kill- eth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither: and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood. 4. And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them. 5. And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime. 6. And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled. 7. And they appointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naph- tali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Rirjath-arba, which is Hebron, in the moun- tain of Judah. 8. And On the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they assigned Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan Out of the tribe of Manasseh. 9. These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel,and for the stranger that so- journeth among them, that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation.

And if yeshall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my com- mandments, but that ye break my covenant: 16. I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause Sorrow of heart : and yeshall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17. And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your ene- mies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. 18. And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. 19. And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: 20. And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. 21. And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. 22. I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be deso- late. 23. And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me; 24. Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. 25. And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quar- rel of my covenant: and when ye are gath- ered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26. And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in One Oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shalleat, and not be satisfied. 27. And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; 28. Then I will walk contrary un- to you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you Seven times for your sins. 29. And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. 30. And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon #he carcases of your idols, and my Soul shall abhor you. 31. And I will make your cities waste, and bring your Sanctuaries unto des- olation, and I will not smell the Savour of your sweet odours. 32. And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. 33. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. 34. Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desO- late, and ye be in your enemies' land; ever, then shall the land rest, and enjoy her Sab- baths. 35. As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your Sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. 36. And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faint- ness into their hearts in the lands of their ene- mies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth. 37. And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and yeshall have no powerto stand before your enemies. 38. And ye shall per- ish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39. And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniq- uity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pineaway with them. 40. If they shall confess their in- iquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me; 41. And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniq- uity: 42. Then will Iremember mycovenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. Deut. 4:9.

Then thineheart belifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth Out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage: Deut. 28:58. If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; 59.

But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked : thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly es- teemed the ROCk of his salvation. 16. They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to an- ger. 17. They sacrificed unto devils, not to God: to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. 18. Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. 19. And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the pro- voking of his Sons, and of his daughters. 20. And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be : for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith. 21. They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vani- ties: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. 22. For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. 23. Iwill heap mischiefs upon them : I will spend mine arrows upon them. 24. They ...}} be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also Send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust. 25. The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the Suckling also with the man of gray hairs. 26. I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men: 27. Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this. 28. For they are a nation void of coun- Sel, neither is there any understanding in them. 29. O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end 30.

And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh imme- diately, and taketh away the word that was Sown in their hearts. 16. And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, im- mediately receive it with gladness; 17. And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, im- mediately they are offended. 18. And these are they which are Sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19. And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. Mark 8:38. Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Luke 9:62. No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, isfit for the kingdom of God. Luke 11:21. When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: 22. But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. 23. He that is not with me is against me: and he that gather- eth not with me Scattereth. 24. When the unclean spirit is gone Out of a man, he walk- eth through dry places, Seeking rest ; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. 25. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. 26. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Matt. 12:45. - - Luke 17:32. Remember Lot's wife. John 6:67. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away ? John 15:6. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 1 Cor. 10:1. Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all Our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2. And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the Sea; 3. And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4. And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them : and that ROCk was Christ. 5. But with many of them God was | not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. 6. Now these things were Our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 7. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 8. Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 9. Neither let us tempt Christ, as Some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of Serpents. 10. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the de- stroyer. 11. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are writ- ten for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 12. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 13. There hath no temptation taken you but Such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 2 Cor. 12:20. For Ifear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not : lest there be debates, envyings, Wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, Swellings, tumults: 21. And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have com- mitted. - Gal. 1:6.

O foolish Galatians, who hath be- witched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? Gal. 4:9. But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10. Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 11. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. Gal. 5:7. Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? 1 Tim. 1:19. Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 1 Tim. 5:15. Some are already turned aside after Satan. 1 Tim. 6:10. The love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 20. O Timothy, keep that which is commit- ted to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of Science falsely So called: 21. Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. 2 Tim. 1:8. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: 2 Tim. 2:12. If we deny him, he also will deny us: 2 Tim. 4:10. For T)emas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, Heb. 3:12. Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13. But ex- hort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Heb. 4:1. Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 11. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the Same example of unbelief. Heb. 5:11. Of whom we have many things to Say, and hard to be uttered, seeing yeare dull of hearing. 12. For when for the time ye Ought to be teachers, ye have need that One teach you again which be the first prin- ciples of the Oracles of God; and are become Such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. Heb. 6:4. It is impossible for those who were Once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5. And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6. If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; see- ing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7. For the earth which drinketh in the rain 95 that Cometh Oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 8. But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. Heb. 10:26. If we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27. But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy un- der two or three witnesses: 29. Of how much SOrer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath count. ed the blood of the covenant, where with he was Sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 38. If any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; Heb. 11:14. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 15. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. |PIeb. 12:15. T.Ooking diligently lest any | man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness Springing up trouble you, and thereby may be defiled; 2 Pet. 1:9. He that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot See afar off, and hath for- gotten that he was purged from his old sins, 2 Pet. 2:20. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the TOrd and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and Overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy command- ment delivered unto them. 2 John 9.

But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. 30. When thou art in tribula- tion, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; Deut. 30:1. And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set be- fore thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, 2. And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; 3. That them the LORD thy God will turn thy cap- tivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the na- tions, whither the LORD thy God hath scat- tered thee. 4.

And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it ; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. 6. And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. 7. And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. 8. And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the TORD, and do all his commandments which I com- mand thee this day. 9. And the LORD thy God will make thee plenteous in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good : for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: 10. If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. Deut. 32:26. I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remem- brance of them to cease from among men: 28. For they are a nation void of counsel, 29.

Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers. vs. 35–53. 2 Chr. 30:9. For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him. Job 22:23. If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. 24. Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. 25. Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. 26. For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Al- mighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. 27. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. 28. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. 29.

Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth ? 5. Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end ? 6. The TORD said also unto me in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which back- sliding Israel hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and there hath played the harlot. 7. And I said after she had done all these things, Turn thou unto me. But she re- turned not. 12. Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, thou backsliding Israel, Saith the LORD ; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you : for I am merciful, saith the TORD, and I will not keep anger for ever. 13. Only acknowl- edge thine iniquity, that thou hast trans- gressed against the LORD thy God, and hast Scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, saith the LORD. 14. Turn, O back- sliding children, saith the LORD ; for I am married unto you: and I will take you One of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to Zion: 15. And I will give you pas- tors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understand- ing. 16. And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, Saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD : neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it ; neither shall that be done any more. 17. At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD ; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart. 18. In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an in- heritance unto your fathers. 19. But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasantland, a goodly herit- age of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me. 20. Surely as a wife treach- erously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, Saith the TORD. 21. A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and Supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they (7) 97 : : --- - - - have forgotten the LORD their God. 22.

If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove. 2. And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory. 14. O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thoumay- est be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee? Jer. 6:16. Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and See, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. Hos. 14:4. I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely : for mine anger has turned away from him. Zech. 10:6. And Iwill strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Jo- seph, and I will bring them again to place them : for I have mercy upon them : and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them. - 3.

Because thou Sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and know- est not that thou art wretched, and miser- able, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not ap- pear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten : be zealous therefore, and repent. 20. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. 21.

They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thither- ward, saying, Come, and let us join our- Selves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten. 6. My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have for- gotten their resting place.

When thou shalt beget chil- dren, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger: 26. I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jor- dan to possess it ; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. 27. And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in num- ber among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you. 28. And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 29. But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. 30. When thou art in tribula- tion, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; 31. (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God:) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the cove- nant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. - Deut. 31:16. And the LORD said unto Moses, |Behold,thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them. 17. Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befallthem; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us? 18. And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods. 19. Now thereforewrite ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel. 20. For when Ishall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled them- Selves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and pro- voke me, and break my covenant. 21. And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it 98 BACKSLIDERS.—BACKSLIDING OF ISRAEL. shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their Seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware. 22. Moses therefore wrote this song the Same day, and taught it the children of Israel. 23. And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage; for thou shalt bring the chil- ãren of Israel into the land which I sware unto them : and I will be with thee. 24. And it came to pass, when Moses had mado an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, 25. That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, saying, 26. Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. 27. For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebel- lious against the LORD ; and how much more after my death ? 28. Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them. 29. Tor Iknow that aftermy death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to pro- voke him to anger through the work of your hands. 30. And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended. Deut. 32:5. They have corrupted them- Helves, their spot is not the spot of his chil- dren: they are a perverse and crooked gen- {ration. 6. Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not 1made thee and established thee? 15. But Jesh- 1Irun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his Salvation. v. 18; Num. 14:43; Judg. 2:12; 10:12–14. 2 Chr. 24:20. Thus saith God, Why trans- gress yethe commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye haveforsaken the LORD he hath also forsaken you. 2 Kin. 18:1,12; 2 Chr. 13:11; 27:2; 29:6,8. Ezra 9:10. Now, O our God, what shall we Say after this? for we haveforsaken thy com- mandments, 13. And after all that is come upon us for Our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou Our God hast pun- ished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such deliverance as this; 14. Should we again breakthy commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping? Neh. 9:26. Nevertheless they were disobe- dient, and rebelled against thee, and cast thy 99 —g law behind their backs, and slew thy prophets which testified against them to turn them to thee, and they wrought great provocations. Psa. 78:10. They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walkin his law; 11. And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them. 40. How oft did they pro- yoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert 41. Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. 42. They remembered not his hand, 7vor the day when he delivered them from the enemy. 43. How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan: 56. Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testi- monies: 57. But turned back, and dealt un- faithfully liketheir fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. 58. For they pro- voked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images. 59. When God heard this he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: 60. So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men; 61. And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand. 62. He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inheritance. 63. The fire Con- Sumed their young men ; and their maidens were not given to marriage. 64. Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation. Psa. 106:13. They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel : 14. But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. Isa. 1:4. Ah Sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away back- ward. 5. Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. 6. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness init; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying Sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. 7. Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your pres- ence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. 21. How is the faithful city be- come an harlot l it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murder- ers. 22. Thy silver has become dross, thy wine mixed with water: Isa. 50:1. Isa. 2:6. Thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be replen- ished from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and they please themselves in the children of strangers. Isa. 5:24. As the fire devoureth the stubble and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust : because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and de- ** © *e * ~ * * * * * G gº © e Q C. : : (e e * º : : : BACKSLIDERS.

Isa. 17:10. Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy Salvation, and hast not been mindful of the rock of thy strength, there- fore shalt thou plant pleasant plants, and shalt set it with strange slips: 11. In the day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make thy Seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and of desperate sorrow. Isa. 24:5. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordi- nance, broken the everlasting covenant. 6. Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate : therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. Isa. 30:9. That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD : 15. For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In re- turning and rest shall ye be saved; in quiet- ness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not. Isa. 31:6. Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted. Isa. 43:22. But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob ; but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel. 24. Thou hast bought me no Sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the ſat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities. Isa. 51:17. Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury ; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out. vs. 18–20. Isa. 63:17. O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Isa. 65:2. I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; 3. A people that pro- Voketh me to anger continually to my face; Jer. 2:5. Thus saith the TORD, What in- iquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain? 11. Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit. 12. Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, beye very deso- late, Saith the LORD. 13. For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. 17. Hast thou not procured this unto thy- self, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way # 19. Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, Saith the Lord GOD of hosts. 21. Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me? 27. They have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and Save us. 31. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? aland of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee? 32. Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire ? yet my people have forgotten me days without number. Jer. 3:21. A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and Supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God. vs. 1–25. Jer. 5:19. When ye shall say, Wherefore doeth the IORD Our God all these things unto us? then shalt thou answer them, Like asye have forsaken me, and served strange gods in your land, So shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours. 23. But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone. vs. 1–31; Jer. 11:9–17. Jer. 6:30. Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the LORD hath rejected them. Ezek. 22:18. - Jer. 7:12. Go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wicked- neSS of my people Israel. vs. 13–34. Jer. 8:5. Why then is this people of Jeru- Salem slidden back by a perpetual backslid- ing ? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return. 14. Why do we sit still ? assemble yourselves, and let us enterinto the defenced cities, and let us be silent there : for the TORD Our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD. 15. We looked for peace, but no good came, and for a time of health, and behold trouble! vs. 1–22. Jer. 10:20. My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not : there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to Set up my curtains. 21. For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD : therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered. vs. 17–22. Jer. 12:7. I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies. Jer. 13:24. Therefore will Iscatter them as the stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness. 25. This is thy lot, the por- tion of thy measures from me, Saith the LORD ; because thou hast forgotten me, and trusted in falsehood. *. o tº ſº tº & > * , * > * º • p © * * cº .. 100 . BACKSLIDERS.—BACKSLIDING OF ISRAEL. Jer. 147. O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's Sake: for Our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee. 10. Thus saith the LORD unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the LORD doth not ac- cept them ; he will now remember their in- iquity, and visit their sins. Jer. 15:1. Thus Saith the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, get my mind could not be toward this people: cast them. Out of my sight, and let them go forth. vs. 2–14. Jer. 18:13. Therefore thus saith the LORD : Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard Such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing. 14. Will a many leave the Snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken ? 15. Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up; Jer. 19. Jer. 32:31. This city hath been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from be- fore my face, v. 30. Jer. 50:6. My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they haveforgotten their resting place. Ezek. 2:3. And he said unto me, Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have trans- greSSed against me, even unto this very day. 4. For they are impudent children and stiff- hearted. I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD. 5. And they, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them. 6. And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. 7. And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most re- bellious. 8. But thou, Son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee. Ezek. 5:6. She hath changed my judg- ments into wickedness more than the na- tions, and my statutes more than the coun- tries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them. vs. 1–17. Ezek. 11:21. As for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recom- pense their way upon their Own heads, saith the Lord GOD. vs. 1–21. [See Parable of the Vine, Ezek. 15.] - Ezek. 16:43. Because thou hast not re- membered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things; behold, there- fore I also will recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord GOD: [See Para- bles of an Unfaithful Wife, Ezek. 16; 23; Hos. 2; 3.] IHos. 1:6. And God said unto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away. 9. Then said God, Call his name LO-ammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God. vs. 1–9. Hos. 4:6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: Seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. 10. They shall eat, and not have enough : they shall commit whore- dom, and shali not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD. v. 16. BIOS. 5:11. Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment. Therefore w?!! I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenneSS. vs. 1–15. IHos. 6:4. O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall'I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goethaway. 7. They like men have transgressed the covenant : there have they dealt treacherously against me. vs. 4–11: HOS. 8:14; 9:1–17; 13:16. +. Hos. 11:2. As they called them, so they went from them : 7. And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him. FIOS. 14:1. O Israel, return unto the TORD thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniq- Urity. Amos 2:4. Thus saith the TORD; for three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; be- cause they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his command- ments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked: Zeph. 1:6. Them that are turned back from the LORD ; and those that have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him. Mal. 1:6. A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear 7 saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name 3 - Mal. 3:7. Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordi- nances, and have not kept them. Return 10] IBAOKSLIDERS. RAPTISM. unto me, and I will return unt O you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye Said, Wherein shall we return ? Heb. 3:16. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 17. But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 18. And to whom Sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not ?

And were baptized of him in Jordan, confess- ing their sins. 7. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come 2 8. Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: 11. Iindeed bap- tize you with water unto repentance: but he that comethaftermeismightier than I,whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall bap- tize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: 13. Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jor- dan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15. And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now : for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suf- fered him. 16. And Jesus, when he was bap- tized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: Mark 1:8–10; Luke 3:7,8; John 10:40. Matt. 21:25. The baptism of John, whence was it 2 from heaven, or of men? Mark 11:30; Luke 20:4. Mark 1:4. John did baptize in the wilder- ness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. 5. And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. Luke 3:12. Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shallwe do? 21. When all the people were bap- tized, it came to pass,that Jesus also being bap. tized, and praying, the heaven was opened. 102 BAPTISM. Luke 7:29. All the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being bap- tized with the baptism of John. 30. But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not bap- tized of him. John 1:25. And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? 26. John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not ; 28. . These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing. 31. I knew him not : but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come bap- tizing with water. 33. He that sent me to bap- tize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descend- ing, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. John 3:23. And John also was baptizing in AEnon, near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. . Acts 1:5. John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 22. Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be or- dained to be a witness with us of his resur- rection. Acts 10:37. That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; Acts 11:16. Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water ; but ye shall be bap- tized with the Holy Ghost. Acts 19:3. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized ? And they said, Unto John's baptism. 4. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, Saying unto the people,that they should believe On him which should come after him, that is, On Christ Jesus. CHRISTIAN : Matt. 28:19. Go ye there- fore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Mark 16:16. He that believeth and is bap- tized shall be saved; John 3:5. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I Say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 22. After these things came Jesusand his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. John 4:1. The LOrd knew how the Phari- sees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, 2. (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,) Acts 1:5. John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 22. Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be —w Ordained to be a witness with us of his resur- rection. Acts 2:38. Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every One of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 41. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. Acts 8:12. When they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the king- dom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13. Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, v. 16. 36. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37. Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. Acts 9:18. And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales; and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. Acts 10:46. Then anwered Peter, 47. Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we ? 48. And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Acts 16:14. And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thy- atira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she at- tended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. 15. And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. 33. He took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. Acts 18:8. Many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. 25. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. Acts 19:4. Then said Paul, John verily bap- tized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 5. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Acts 22:16. And now why tarriest thou ? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Rom. 6:3. Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death ? 4. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death : that like as Christ was raised up from the dead 103 13APTISM. by the glory of the Father, even So we also should walk in newness of life. 1 Cor. 1:13. Were ye baptized in the name of Paul ? 14. I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; 15. Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. 16. And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. 17. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: 1 Cor. 10:1. Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all Our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2. And were all bap- tized unto Moses in the cloud and in the Sea: 1 Cor. 12:13. By one Spirit are we all bap- tized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Cor. 15:29. What shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead? Gal. 3:27. As many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Eph. 4:5. One Lord, one faith, one baptism, Eph. 5:26. That he might Sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, Col. 2:12. Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. * Heb. 6:2. Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 1 Pet. 3:18. Christ also hath. Once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 21. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good con- science toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ : OF THE HOLY GHOST : Isa. 44:3. I will pour my spirit upon thy Seed, and my bless- ing upon thine offspring : Joel 2:28. And it shall come to pass after- ward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and yourdaughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29. And also upon the Servants and upon the hand- maids in those days will Ipour out my spirit. Zech. 12:10. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jeru- Salem, the spirit of grace and of Supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shallmourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. Matt. 3:11. Iindeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: [Mark 1:8; Luke 3:16.] 16. And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway Out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him : Luke 3:22; John 1:32,33. Luke 24:49. And, behold, I send the prom- ise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. John 3:5. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I Say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Acts 1:5. John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. Acts 2:1. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in One place. 2. And Suddenly there came a Sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and begantospeak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 38. Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 41. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. Acts 8:15. Who [Peter and John], when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16. (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17. Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. ActS10:38. How Godanointed Jesus of Naz- areth with the Holy Ghost and with power: 44. While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 47. Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? Acts 11:15. And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the be- ginning. 16. Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Acts 19:2. He said unto them, Have yere- ceived the Holy Ghost sinceye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 6. And when Paul had laidhishands uponthem, the Holy Ghost came on them; 1 Cor. 12:13. By one Spirit are we all bap- tized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free : and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 104. BAPTISM. PATHING. Tit. 3:5. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regen- eration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost ; 6. Which he shed on us abundantly through Je- sus Christ our Saviour; 1 Pet. 3:20. Which sometime were disobe- dient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 21. The like figure Twhereunto even baptism doth also now Save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ : See HOLY SPIRIT.

BENEFACTOR, Luke 22:25. IBENEFICENCE. Deut. 15:7. If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: 8. But thou Bhalt Open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt Surely lend him sufficient for his need, £n that which he wanteth. 9. Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, Saying, The Seventh year, the year of release, is at Thani. and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought ; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee. 10. Thou shalt Surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. 11. For the poor shall never cease out of the land: there- fore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. 12. And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or a Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the Seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee. 13. And when thou Sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty: 14. Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that where with the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him. 15. And thou shalt remem- ber that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day. 18. It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired Serv- ant to thee, in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest. Tev. 25:35–43. Psa. 41:1. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time Of trouble. Psa. 112:9. He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endur- eth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. - Prov. 3:27. Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. 28. Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to mor- row I will give; when thou hast it by thee. Prov. 11:25. The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Prov. 22:9. He that hath a bountiful eye shall be blessed; for he giveth of his bread to the poor. IProv. 25:21. If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: 22. For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee. - Prov. 28:27. He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. Isa. 58:6. Is not this the fast that I have chosen 2 to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the op- pressed go free, and that ye break every yoke 2 7. Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou Seest the naked, that thou cover him ; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh & 10. And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted Soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day: 11. And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and Sat- isfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy 108 BENEFICENCE. bones: and thou shalt be like a watered gar- den, and like a Spring of water, whose wa- ters fail not. Ezek. 18:5. But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right, . . . 7. And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hun- gry, and hath covered the naked with a gar- ment; 8. He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man, 9. Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly ; he is just, he shall Surely live, Saith the Lord GOD. - Matt. 5:42. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. - Matt. 19:21. Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: Mark 10:21. Matt. 25:35. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36. Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee 3 or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38. When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in 2 or naked, and clothed thee 3' 39. Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43. I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not : sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44. Then shall they also answer him, saying, TOrd, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45. Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I Say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. Mark 9:41. For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drinkin my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I Say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. Luke 3:11. He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. Luke 11:41. But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. Acts 6:1. And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. 2. Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. 3. Wherefore, breth- ren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 4. But we will give ourselves con- tinually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. Acts 11:29. Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Ju- daea: 30. Which also they did, and sent it to §. ºlders by the hands of Barnabas and a Uli. x Rom. 15:25. But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. 26. For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. 27. It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things. 1 Cor. 13:3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 1 Cor. 16:1. Now concerning the collection for the Saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. 2. Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. 3. And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jerusa- lem. 2 Cor. 8:1. Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; 2. How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. 3. For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves; 4. Praying us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the Saints. 5. And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God. , 6. Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also. 7. Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowl- edge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. 8. I speak not by commandment, but by OC. casion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love. 9. For ye ićnow the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your Sakes 109 13ENEFICENUE. he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. 10. And herein I give my ad- vice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. T1. Now therefore per- form the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a perform- ance also out of that which ye have. 12. For if there be first a willing mind, it is ac- cepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. 13. For I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: 14. But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a Sup- ply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want : that there may be equality : 15. As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over; and he that had gathered little had no lack. 24. Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf. 2 Cor. 9:1. For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: 2. For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many. 3. Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should bein vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready : 4. Test haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this Same confident boasting. 5. Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covet- ousness. 6. But this I say, He which Soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 9. (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness re- maineth for ever. 10. Now he that minis- tereth Seed to the Sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteous- ness;) 11. Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. 12. For the adminis- tration of this service not only supplieth the want of the Saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; 13. Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men ; 14. And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. 15. Thanks be unto God for his un- Speakable gift. Gal. 2:10. Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do. Bhil. 4:10. But I rejoiced in the Lord great- ly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also care- ful, but ye lacked opportunity. 11. Not that Ispeakin respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 14. Not- withstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. 15. Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. 16. For even in Thessalonica ye Sent once and again unto my necessity. 17. Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. 18. But I have all, and abound: I am full, hav- ing received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a Sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well- pleasing to God. 1 Tim. 5:8. But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own. house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. 16. If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed. - 1 Tim. 6:18. That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Heb. 6:10. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the Saints, and do min- ister. IHeb. 13:16. But to do good and to com- municate forget not : for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. Jas. 2:15. If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16. And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit 3 1 John 3:17. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

Isa. 65.5. Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a Smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. Mark 2:16. And when the Scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publi- cans and sinners ? Tuke 15:2. Luke 9:49. And John answered and said, 1Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he fol- loweth not with us. 50. And Jesus said to him, Forbid him not : for he that is not against us is for us. Luke 18:9. And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10. Two men went up into the temple to pray; the One a Pharisee and the other a publican. 11. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee that I am not as Other men are, extortioners, unjust, adul- terers, or even as this publican. 12. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13. And the publican, standing afar Off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, say- ing, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be ex- alted. Acts 10:28. And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, Or COme unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. 45. And they of the circumcision which believed were aston- ished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 18:12. And when Gallio was the deputy of Achaia, the Jews made insurrec- tion with one accord against Paul, and brought him to the judgment Seat, 13. Say- ing, This fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law. PAUL’S ARGUMENT AGAINST: ROm. 3:1. What advantage then hath the Jew 8 or what profit is there of circumcision ? 2. Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the Oracles of God. 3. For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect 3 4. God forbid.: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy Sayings, and mightest overcome, when thou art judged. 5. But if our unrighteousness com- mend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous, who taketh vengeance’ (I Speak as a man) 6. Godfor- bid.: for then how shall God judge the world? 7. For if the truth of God hath more abound- ed through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? 8. And not father, (as we be slanderously reported, and as Some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come 2 whose damnation is just. 9. What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; 10. As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11. There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13. Their throat is an Open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit: the poison of asps is under their lips: 14. Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: 15. Their feet are swift to shed blood: 16. Destruction and misery are in their ways: 17. And the way of peace have they not known: 18. There is no fear of God before their eyes. 19. Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it Saith to them who are under the law : that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. . 20. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22. Even the righteousness of 114 BIGOTRY. |BIRDS. God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom.4:1.Whatshall we say then that Abra- ham Ourfather,as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? .. 2. For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3. For what saith the scripture ? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5. But to him that work- eth not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for right- eousness. 6. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works. 7. Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9. Comet/, this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also } for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. 10. How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision ? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. 11. And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which /he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that right- eousness might be imputed unto them also: 12. And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being get uncircumcised. 13. For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14. For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect : 15. Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no trans- gression. 16. Therefore it is of faith, that Žt might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham ; who is the father of us all, 23. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him ; 24. But for us also, to whom it shall be im- puted, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus Our Lord from the dead; 25 Who was delivered for Our Offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not COvetous; 4. One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection. with all gravity: 5. (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God 2) 6.Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7. More- over he must have a good report of them which are without ; lest he fallinto reproach and the snare of the devil. Tit. 1:5. For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: 6. If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or un- ruly. 7. For a bishop [marg. R. V., over- Seer] must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self willed, not. Soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8. But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, Sober, just, holy, temperate; 9. Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. 10. For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 11. Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. A TITLE OF JESUS: 1 Pet. 2:25. See ELDER.

Ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: Lev. 22:32. Lev. 24:10. And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went Out among the children of Israel: and this Son of the Israelitish woman and a man of 116 BLASPHEMY. r— Israel strove together in the camp; 11. And the Israelitish woman's son blasphemed the name of the LORD, and cursed. And they brought him unto Moses: (and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan :) 12. And they put him in ward, that the mind of the LORD might be shewed them. 13. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 14. Bring forth him that hath Cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him. 15. And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God shall bear his sin. 16. And he that blasphem- eth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congrega- tion shall certainly stone him : as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name of the LORD, shall be put to death. 2 Kin. 19:22. Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed ? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high 3 even against the Holy One of Israel. Isa. 37:23. 2 Chr. 32:19. They spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the peo- ple of the earth, which were the work of the hands of man. . - Job 9:16. If I had called, and he had an- swered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice. 17. For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. 18. He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness. 34. Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me: 35. Then would I speak, and not fear him ; but it is not so with me. Job 10:2. I will say unto God, Do not con- demn me; shew me wherefore thou con- tendest with me. 3. Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked ? 4. Hast thou eyes of flesh, or Seest thou as man Seeth? 5. Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days, 6. That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sinº 7. Thou knowest that I am not wicked ; and there is none that can deliver Out of thine hand. Job 13:7. Willye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him 7 8. Will ye ac- cept his person? will ye contend for God? 9. Is it good that he should search you out 7 Or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him 3 25. Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble? 26. For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth. 27. Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet. Job 15:13, Thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth ? 25. For he stretcheth Out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty. 26. He runneth upon him, even. On / is neck, upon the thick bOsses of his bucklers. Job 16:9. He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth ; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me. 11. God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the Wicked. 12. I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken ºne by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark. 13. His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. 14. He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant. "job 10:6. Know now that God hath over- thrown me, and hath compassed me with his net. 7. Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. 21. Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me. 22. Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? Job 21:13. They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. 14. Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. Job 22:12. Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are 13. And thou Sayesú, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud º 14. Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not and he walketh in the circuit of heaven. 17. Which said unto God, Depart from us; and what can the Almighty do for them : Job 30:21. Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me. Job 33:10. Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy, 11. He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths. Job 34:5. For Job hath said, I am right- eous: and God hath taken away my judg- ment. 6. Should I lie against my right ! my wound is incurable without transgres- SIOIl. 9. For he hath said, It, profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God. 16. If now thout hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words. 17. Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just 2 18. Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked ? and to princes, Ye are ungodly? 19. How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands. 37. For l 1'ſ BTLASPHEMY. he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clap- peth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God. Job 37:20. Shall it be told him that I speak 2 if a man speak, Surely he shall be swallowed up. Job 40:2. Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him 2 he that re- proveth God, let him answer it. Psa. 5:1. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my meditation. 2. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. Psa. 10:11. He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it. 13. Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. Bsa. 50:21. These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: bºtt I will reprove thee, and set them in order be- fore thine eyes. Psa. 73:9. They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. 11. And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High 3 Psa. 74:18. Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the fool- ish people have blasphemed thy name. Psa. 78:19. Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? 20. Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also 2 can he provide flesh for his people? Psa. 947. Yet they say, The LORD shall not See, neither shall the God of Jacob re- gard it. Psa. 139:20. For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name IIl V8,111. Prov. 30:8. Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: 9. Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who Žs the LORD? Or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain. v. 7. Isa. 8:21. When they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward. 22. And they shall be driven to darkness. Isa. 29:15. Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who Seeth us? and who knoweth us? 16. Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not ? Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no under- standing ? Isa. 36:15. Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of As- syria. 18. Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. Bath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of AS- syria.” 20. Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand 3 21. But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's command- ment was, Saying, Answer him not. Isa. 37:10. Thus shallye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, Saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria. Isa. 40:27. Whysayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God? - Isa. 45:9. Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker | Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? Isa. 52:5. Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought © they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD ; and my name continually every day is blasphemed. Isa. 65.7. Your iniquities and the iniqui- ties of your fathers together, saith the LORD, which have burned incense upon the moun- tains, and blasphemed me upon the hills: therefore will I measure their former work into their bosom.

Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery 3 for they say, the LORD Seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth. Ezek. 9:9. Then said he unto me, The in- iquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they Say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD Seeth not. Ezek. 18:25. Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel, Is not my way equal 3 are not your ways unequal? Ezek. 20:27. Your fathers have blas- I 18.

Yet the children of thy peo- ple Say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. 18. When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby. 19.

Zech. 5:3. This is the curse that goeth forth Over the face of the whole earth: for every One that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that Sweareth shall be cut off as on that side ac- cording to it. 4. I will bring it forth, saith the TORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that Sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof. Mal. 3:13. Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee ? 14.

And ye shall eat the flesh of your Sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. 30. And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my Soul shall abhor you, 31. And I will make your cities waste, and bring your Sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not Smell the savour of your sweet odours. 32. And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. 33. And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a Sword after you : and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. 34. Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. 35. As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest ; because it did not rest in your Sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. 36. And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them ; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth. 37. And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth : and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 38. And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39. And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. 40. If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their tres- pass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me; 41. And that I also have walked con- trary unto them, and have brought them . into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their in- iquity: 42. Then will I remember my cove- nant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. 43. The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them : and they shall ac- cept of the punishment of their iniquity; be- cause, even because they despised my judg- ments, and because their soul abhorred my Statutes. Deut. 4:1. Now therefore hearken, O Is- rael, unto the statutes and unto the judg- ments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you. 40. Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.

Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; 12.

And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy Sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 14. Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male Orfemale barren among you, or among your cattle. 15. And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee. Deut. 11:26. Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; 27. A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: v. 28. Deut. 12:28.

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will Set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2.

Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. 4. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 5. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. 6. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comestin, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 7. The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee One way, and flee be- fore thee seven ways. 8. The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 9. The LORD shall establish thee an holy peo- ple unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. 10. And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD ; and they shall be afraid of thee. 11. And the LORD shall make thee plenteousingoods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fa- thers to give thee. 12. The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give thee rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. 13.

And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the bless- ing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, 2. And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; 3. That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee. 4. If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee: 5. And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. 6.

If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. 15. See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; 16. In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walkin his ways, and to keep his command- ments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it. 17.

I de- nounce unto you this day, that yeshall Surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest Over Jordan to go to possess it. 19. I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live : 20. That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. Josh. 1:8. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; . . . for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 1]{in. 2:3. Keep the charge of the LORD thy God to walkin his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself: 4. That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (Said he) a man on the throne of Israel. 1 Kin. 3:14. If thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my command- ments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days. 1 Kin. 8:23. And he said, IORD God of Is- rael, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart : 1 Kin. 9:3. And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hal- lowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever ; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. 4. And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and wilt keep my statutes and my judgments: 5. Then I will *g establish the throne of thy kingdom upon Israel for ever, as I promised to David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man upon the throne of Israel. 6. But if ye shall at all turn from following me, ye or your children, and will not keep my com- mandments and my statutes which I have Set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them : 7. Then will I cut off Israel Out of the land which I have given them ; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people: 8. And at this house, which is high, every one that passeth by it Shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and to this house? 9. And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other gods, and have wor- shipped them, and served them : therefore hath the LORD brought upon them all this evil. 2 Chr. 7:17–22. 1 Chr. 22:13. Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed. 1 Chr. 28:7. Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day. 8. Keep and seek for all the com- mandments of the LORD your God: that ye: may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you for ever. k 2 Chr. 26:5. And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper. 2 Chr. 27:6. So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God. 2 Chr. 30:9. For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him. 2 Chr. 31:10. Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have had enough to eat, and have left plenty : for the LORD hath blessed his people; and that which is left is this great Store. Job. 36:11. If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. Prov. 3:1. My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: 2. For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. Prov. 16:7. When a man's ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. . 123 BILESSING..—CONTINGENT UPON OBEDIENCE. Isa. 1:19.

Trust ye not in lying words, Say- ing, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. 5. For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly ex- ecute judgment between a man and his neighbour; 6. If ye oppress not the Stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt : 7. Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. 23.

Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron fur- nace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: SO shall ye be my people, and I will be your God: 5. That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD. Jer. 12:16. And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, The LORD liveth; as they taught my people to Swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of my people. Jer. 15:19. Therefore thus Saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. 20. And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to Save thee and to deliver thee, Saith the LORD. 21. And I will deliver thee Out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee Out of the hand of the terrible. Jer. 17:24. And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, Saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the Sabbath day, to do no work therein; 25. Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes, sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall remain for ever. 26. And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, and sac- rifices, and meat offerings, and incense, and bringing Sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LoRD. 27. But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the Sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched. Jer. 22:4. For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of Da- vid, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people. 5. But if ye will not hear these words, I swear by myself, saith the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation. 15. Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar% did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him ? 16.

Thus said the TORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou Shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.

And I will rebuke the de- vourer for your sakes, and he shall not de- stroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. 12.

Then said Jesus, Father, for- give them ; for they know not what they do. John 1:5. The light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 10. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. John 3:4. Nicodemus Saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old 3 can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born ? 7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 19. This is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20. Every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 31. He that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: vs. 9–12. John 4:10. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that Saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 22.

Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it 8 John 7:28. Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, Saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am : and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. John 8:12: Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in dark- ness, but shall have the light of life. 15. Ye judge after the flesh; 19. Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. 27. They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. 33. They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man : how Sayest thou, Ye shall be made free ? 42. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43. Why do ye not understand my speech' even because ye cannot hear my word. 52. Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou Sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. 54. Jesus answered, . . . 55. Yet have not known him ; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you : 57. Then said the Jews unto him, Hast thou seen Abraham 8 John 9:29. We know that God spake unto Moses; as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is. 30. The man answered and said unto them, Why, herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. , 39. Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might See; and that they which see might be made blind. vs. 30–38. r John 12:38. That the saying of Esaias the rophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, ord, who hath believed our report 2 and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been re- vealed ? Isa. 53:1. John 14:17. The Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it Seeth him not, neither knoweth him : John 15:21. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. John 16:2. They shall put you out of the Synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that who- soever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 3. These things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. John 17:25. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: Acts 3:17. Now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. Acts 13:27. They that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him. - Acts 17:23. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNIKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. Acts 19:2. We have not SO much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. Acts 26:18. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may re- ceive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Rom. 1:19. That which may be known of God is manifest in them ; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without ex- cuse : 21. When they knew God, they glori- fied him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22. Pro- fessing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 28. And even as they did not like to re- tain God in their knowledge, God gave them Over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient ; 29. Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wick- edness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30. Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31. Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32. Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Rom. 2:4. Despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God lead- eth thee to repentance? - Rom. 11:25. Blindness in partis happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 1 Cor. 1:18. The preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; 20. Where Žs the wise? where is the scribe 3 where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21. The world by wisdom knew not God, 1 Cor. 2:8. Which none of the princes of this world knew : for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 14. The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him : neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15. He that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 137 fºLINT)NESS. 1 Cor. 15:34. Some have not the knowl- edge of God: I speak this to your shame. 2 Cor. 3:14. Their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same Vail un- taken away in the reading of the old testa- ment; 15. Even unto this day, when MOSes is read, the vail is upon their heart. 2 Cor. 4:3. If our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost : 4. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glori- ous gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 6. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Gal. 4:8. Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which by na- ture are no gods. Eph. 4:18. Having the understanding dark- ened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, be- Cause of the blindness of their heart : Eph. 5:8. Ye were sometimes [once, R. V.] darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: Col. 1:13. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 1 Thess. 4:4. That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in Sanctifi- cation and honour; 5. Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God. - 1 Thess. 5:4. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5. Ye are all the children. Of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6. There- fore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 2 Thess. 1:8. In flaming fire taking venge- ance on them that know not God, and that Obey not the gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ : . 2 Thess. 2:11. And for this cause God shall Send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Tim. 3:7. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 13. Evil men and Seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. Tit. 1:16. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, Heb. 5:11. Ye are dull of hearing. 12. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the Oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 1 Pet. 1:14. As obedient children, not fash- ioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 1 Pet. 2:9. But ye are a chosen generation, BLOOD. a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 2 Pet. 1:9. He that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath for- gotten that he was purged from his old sins. 2 Pet. 3:16. As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, unto their own destruction. , 1 John 1:6. lf we say that we have fellow- ship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: S. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1 John 2:4. He that Saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 9. He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 11. But he that hateth his brother is in dark- ness, and walketh in darkness, and know- eth not whither he goeth, because that dark- ness hath blinded his eyes. 1 John 1:6. 1 John 3:1. The world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 6. Whosoever sin- neth hath not seen him, neither known him. 1 John 4:8. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 3 John 11. He that doeth evil hath not seen God. Jude 10. But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

OF SACRIFICES, TYPICAI OF THE ATONING BLOOD OF CHRIST : Heb. 9:6. Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first taber- nacle, accomplishing the service of God. 7. But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: 8. The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest Of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: 9. Which was a figure for the time then pres- ent, in which were offered both gifts and Sacrifices, that could not make him that did the Service perfect, as pertaining to the con- Science; 10. Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal or- dinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. 11. But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12. Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in Once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without Spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15. And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of transgressions that were un- der the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inherit- ance. 16. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17. For a testament is of force after men are dead : otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. 18. Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood: 19. For when Mo- ses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and Scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, 20. Saying, This 7s the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. 21. Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the taberna- cle, and all the vessels of the ministry. 22. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 23. It was there- fore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these ; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: 25. Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; 26. For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world : but now Once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27. And as it is ap- pointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment : 28. So Christ was once of. fered to bear the sins of many ; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto Salvation. OF CHRIST : Matt. 26:28. For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Mark 14:24; Luke 22:20. John 6:53. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55. For my flesh is meat in- deed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. John 19:34. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water. Acts 20:28. Take heed therefore unto your- selves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Bom. 3:24. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus : 25. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; Pom. 5:9. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 1 Cor. 10:16. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ Ž The bread which we break, I 30 BLOOT). BOASTING. is it not the communion of the body of Christ, % 1 Cor. 11:25. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, say- ing, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. Eph. 1:7. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Eph. 2:13. But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 16. And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: Col. 1:14. In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 20. And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. Heb. 9:12. Neither by the blood of goats and Calves, but by his own blood he entered in Once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Heb. 10:19. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20. By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, though the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 29. Of how much Sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, where- with he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of race 3 Heb. 12:24. And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Heb. 13:12. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might Sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. 20. Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead Our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the ever- lasting Covenant, 1 Pet. 1:2. Elect according to the fore- knowledge of God the Father, through sanc- tification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: 18. Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not re- deemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation re- ceived by tradition from your fathers; 19. But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 1 John 1:7. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship One with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1 John 5:6. This is he that came by water and blood, even. Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. 8. There are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in One. Rev. 1:5. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from Our sins in his own blood, 6. And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Rev. 5:9. And they sung a new Song, Say- ing, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; - Rev. 7:14. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Rev. 12:11.

For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it 2 2 Cor. 10:12. For we dare not make Our- selves of the number, or compare Ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among them- selves, are not wise. 13. But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you. 14. For we stretch not Ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you : for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ : 15. Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is in- creased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly, 16. To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand. 17. But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 18. For not he that commendeth himself is ap- proved, but whom the Lord commendeth. Eph. 2:8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9. Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10. For we are his WOrkmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before Ordained that we should walk in them. BOAT. See SHIP. BOAZ. 1.

Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin—, and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. 33. And the LORD said unto MOSes, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. Psa. 69:28. Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the rightecus. Psa, 87:6. The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Dan. 12:1. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. Luke 10:20. Notwithstanding in this re- joice not, that the spirits are subject unto you ; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Phil. 4:3. I entreat thee also, true yokefel- low, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life. Rev. 3:5. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment ; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Rev. 13:8. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Rev. 17:8. And they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the founda- tion of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. |Rev. 20:12. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged Out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. |Rev. 21:27. And there shall in no wise en- ter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. Rev. 22:19. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. OF REMEMBRANCE : Psa. 56:8. Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears intothy bottle: are they not in thy book? 15.’ Psa. 139:16. Thine eyes did see my sub- stance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in con- tinuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. Mal. 3:16. Then they that feared the LORD Spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of re- membrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

IBORING THE EAR, a token of Servi- tude for life, Ex. 21:6. BORROWHN G. Ex. 22:14. And if a. man borrow ought of his neighbour, and it be hurt, or die, the owner thereof being not with it, he shall surely make it good. 15. But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: if it be an hired thing, it came for his hire. Neh. 5:1. And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their breth- ren the Jews. 2. For there were that said, We, Our Sons, and Our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live. 3. Some also there were that said, Wehavenmortgaged ourlands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. 4. There were also that said, 'We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards. 5. Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of Our brethren, Our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage Our Sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them, ; for other men have our lands and vineyards. 6. And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words. 7. Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them. 8. And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? Or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer. 9. Also I said, It is not good that ye do: Ought ye not to walk in the fear of Our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies? 10. I likewise, and my brethren, and my Servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury. 11. Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their olive- yards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them. 12. Then 142 |BOREROWING. BOX. said they, We will restore them, and will re- Quire nothing of them; SO will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an Oath of them, that they should do accord- ing to this promise. 13. Also I shook my lap, and Said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that per- formeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken Out, and emptied. And all the con- gregation Said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise. Psa. 37:21. The wicked borroweth, and pay- eth not again: Prov. 22:7.

And I, behold, I estab- lish my covenant with you, and with your Seed after you ; 10. And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you ; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. 11. And I will es- tablish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any imore by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 12. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every liv- ing creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13. I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a cov- enant between me and the earth. 14. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud Over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 15. And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh ; and the waters shall no more become a flood to de- stroy all flesh. 16. And the bow shall be in the cloud ; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant be- tween God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. 17. And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the COV- enant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth. Ezek. 1:28. As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, SO was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the like- ness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that Spake. Rev. 4:3. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there apas a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. |Rev. 10:1. And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the Sun, and his feet as pillars of fire : BOWELS.

TO SPECIAL RELIGIOUS DUTY: OF ABRAHAM, Gen. 12:1. Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee Out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2. And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great ; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3. And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee : and in thee shall all fami- lies of the earth be blessed. 147 CALL-To SPECIAL RELIGIOUS DUTY. Isa. 51:2. Took unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you : for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him. Heb. 11:8. By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed ; MOSES: Ex. 3:2. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire Out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, be- hold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 4. And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to See, GOd called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and Said, Moses, MOSes. And he said, Here am I. 10. Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. Ex. 4:1. And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee. 2. And the TORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. 3. And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a Serpent ; and Moses fled from before it. 4. And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand: 5. That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee. 6. And the LORD Said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom ; and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow. 7. And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh. 8. And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign. 9. And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land. and the water which thou takest Out of the river shall become blood upon the o, y land. 10. And Moses said unto the TORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant : but I am slow of speech and of a slow tongue. 11. And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? Or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? 12. Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. 13. And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt Send. 14. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against MOSes, and he said, Is not And he put his hand into Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he Seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart. 15. And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth : and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do. 16. And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee in- stead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God. - Psa. 105:26. He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen. Acts 7:34. I have seen, I have seen the af- fliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt. 35. This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge 2 the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush. AARON AND HIS SONS: Ex. 4:14–16, see above, and Psa. 105:26. Ex. 28:1. And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office, ever, Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's Sons. Heb. 5:4. And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God as 'was Aaron. JOSHUA: Num. 27:18. And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him ; 19. And set him be- fore Eleazar the priest, and before all the Congregation; and give him a charge in their sight. 22. And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and be- fore all the congregation: 23. And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of MOSes. Deut. 31:14. And the LORD Said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present your- Selves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation. 23. And he gave Joshua, the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage; for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee. Josh. 1:1. Now after the death of MOSes the servant of the LORD, it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the Son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, 2. Moses my Servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. 3. Every place that 148, CALL.--To SPECIAL RELIGIOUS DUTY. the Sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. 4. From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphra- tes, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. 5. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as T was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor for- sake thee. 6. Be strong and of a good cour- age: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou Imayest Observe to do according to all the law, which MOSes my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whith- ersoever thou goest. 8. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest Observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou Shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9. Have not I commanded thee ? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. GIDEON : Judg. 6:11. And there came an angel of the LORD, and Sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abi-ezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide Žt from the Midianites. 12. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. 13. And Gideon Said unto him, O my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which Our fathers told us of, Saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt : but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites. 14. And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee ? 15. And he said unto him, O my Lord, where with shall I save Israel? be- hold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I ūm the least in my father's house. 16. And the LORD Said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midian- ites as One man. SAMUEL: 1 Sam. 3:4. That the LORD called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I. 5. And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not; lie down again. And he went and lay down. , 6. And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst Call me. And he answered, I called not, my son; lie down again. 7. Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the Word of the LORD yet revealed unto him. 8. And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and Said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child. 9. Therefore Eli said unto Sam- uel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt Say, Speak, LORD ; for thy Servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 10. And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel an- Swered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. SOLOMON : 1 Chr. 28:6. And he said unto me, Solomon thy Son, he shall build my house and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father. 10. Take heed now ; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the sanc- tuary : be strong, and do it. JEHU : 2 Kin. 9:6. And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil On his head, and Said unto him, Thus Saith the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the LORD, even Over Israel. 7. And thou shalt Smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD, at the hand of Jezebel. . 2 Chr. 22:7. And the destruction of Aha- ziah was of God by coming to Joram : for when he was come, he went out with Jeho- ram against Jehu the Son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab. CYRUS: Isa. 45:1. Thus Saith the TORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him: and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut ; 2. I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron: 3. And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and the hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, wheh call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel. 4. |For Jacob my servant's sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me. AMOS: Amos 7:14. Then answered AmOS, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's Son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit: 15. And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, proph- esy unto my people Israel. e APOSTLES: Matt, 4:18. And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Si- mon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the Sea: for they were fishers. 19. And he saith unto them, Fol- low me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. [Mark 1:16,17.] 21. And going on from thence, he saw other two 149 CALL.--To SPECIAL RELIGIOUS DUTY. (`AM ET. brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him. Mark 3:13–19; Luke 6:13–15. Mark 2:14. And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the re- ceipt of custom, and Said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him. Matt. 9:9; Luke 5:27. John 15:16. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: THE RICH YOUNG MAN : Mark 10:21. Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and Said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 22. And he was Sad at that Say- ing, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. PAUL : Acts 9:4. And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5. And he said, Who art thou, Lord 3 And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest : it Žs hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 6. And he trembling and astonished Said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do. 15. But the Lord said unto him, GO thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: 16. For I will shew him how great things he must Suf- fer for my name's sake. Acts 13:2. As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work where- unto I have called them. 3. And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. Pom. 1:1.

As ye know how we ex- horted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, 12. That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 2 Thess. 2:13. But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren be- loved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to Salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and be- lief of the truth: 14. Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Tim. 1:9. Who hath saved us, and called ots with an holy calling, not according to Our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, Heb. 3:1. Wherefore, holy brethren, par- takers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; 2. Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faith- ful in all his house. - 7. Wherefore as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, 8. Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 1 Pet. 5:10. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strength- en, Settle you. 2 Pet. 1:3. According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowl- edge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 10. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: Jude 1. Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanc- tified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Rev. 17:14.

Surely avery man walketh in a vain shew : Surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up 7'iches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. - - Psa. 127:2. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of Sor- rows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep. Eccl. 4:8. There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his la- bour: neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also van- ity, yea, it is a Sore travail. Matt. 6:25. Therefore I say unto you,Take no thought [be not anxious, R. V.] for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall ut on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26. Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they 27. Which of you by taking thought [by being anxious, R. V.] can add one cubit unto his stature ? 28. And why take ye thought for rainment ? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin. |Luke 12:27]. 29. And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these, 30. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31. Therefore take no thought [be not therefore anxious, R. V.], saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? Or, Where withal shall we be clothed? 32. (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Fa- ther knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34. Take therefore no thought [be not therefore anx- ious, R. V.] for the morrow ; for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Matt, 13:22. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful, Mark 4:19; Luke 8:14. Luke 14:18. And they all with one con- sent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece, of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 19. And another said, l' have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them : I pray thee have me excused. 20. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I Cannot come. - Luke 21:34. Take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and care: of this life, and so that day come upon you UIIla, Wal’éS. 1 Cor. 7:32. But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: 33. But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. Phil. 4:6. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 2 Tim. 2:4. No man that warreth entan. gleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. . See CARNAL MINDEDNESS; RICHES; WORLD- LINESS.

Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established. Jer. 17:7. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat com- eth, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. Matt. 6:26. Behold the fowls of the air : for they Sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they 7 27. Which of you by taking thought can add One cubit unto his stature? 28. And | why take ye thought for raiment 2 Con- sider the lilies of the field, how they grow ; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29. And yet I Say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like One of these. 30. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31.

Take therefore no thought for the morrow : for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Luke 12:22–32. Phil. 4:6. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Heb. 13:5. Let your conversation be with- Out covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have : for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 1 Pet. 5:6. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7. Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. INSTANCES OF : Martha, Luke 10:40,41.

And John answered him, saying, Master, We Saw One casting out devils in thy name, and he fol- loweth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. 39. But Jesus Said, Forbid him not : for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. 40. For he that is not against us is on Our part. 41. For whosoever shall give you a cup of Water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. Luke 9:49,50. Acts 10:1. There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, 2. A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway. 3. He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. 4. And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord 2 And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. 5. And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: 6. He lodgeth with One Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side : he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do. 7. And when the angel which spake unto Cornelius was departed, he called two of his household Servants, and a devout soldier of them that waited on him continually ; 8. And when he had declared all these things unto them, he sent them to Joppa. 9. On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 10. And he became very hungry, and would have eaten : but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11. And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth : 12. Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13. And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter: kill, and eat. 14. But Peter said, Not SO, Lord: for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean. 15. And the voice spa/ce unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 16. This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven. 17. Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made inquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate, 18. And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there. 19. While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. 20. Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them. 21. Then Peter went down to the men which were sent unto him from Cornelius; and said, Behold, I am he whom ye seek: what is the cause wherefore ye are come 3 22. And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and One that feareth God, and of good report among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee. 23. Then called he them in, and lodged them. And On the morrow Peter went away with them, and certain brethren from Joppa accom- panied him. 24. And the morrow after they entered into Caesarea. And Cornelius waited for them, and had called together his kins- men and near friends. 25. And as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and fell down at his feet, and worshipped him. 26. But Peter took him up, Saying, Stand up ; I my- self also am a man. 27. And as he talked with him, he went in, and found many that were come together. 28. And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep com- pany, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. 29. There- fore came I ºnto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me? 30. And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour ; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, 31. And Said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. 32. Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side : who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee. 33. Imme- diately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God. 34. Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons. 35. But in every nation he that feareth him, and work- eth righteousness, is accepted with him. 36. The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ : (he is Lord of all:) 37. That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached: 38. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were op- pressed of the devil; for God was with him. 39. And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem ; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 40. Him God raised up the third day, 154 . CATHOLICITY. —INCULCATED. and shewed him openly ; 41. Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. 42. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was or- dained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. 43. To him give all the prophets wit- ness, that through his name whosoever be- lieveth in him shall receive remission of sins. 44. While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gen- tiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 47. Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have re- ceived the Holy Ghost as well as we? 48. And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the LORD. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. Acts 11:17. Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who be- lieved on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I, that I could withstand God? 18. When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life. Acts 15:1. And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. 2. When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no Small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. 3. And being brought On their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conver- sion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren. 4. And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were re- ceived of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them. 5. But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to cir- cumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. 6. And the apostles and elders came to- gether for to consider of this matter. 7. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and Said unto them, Men and breth- ren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gen- tiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 8. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giv- ing them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us: 9. And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 10. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear ! 11. But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. 12. Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them. 13. And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: 14. Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take Out of them a people for his name. 15. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, 16. After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up : 17. That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, Saith the Lord, who doethall these things. 18. Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. 19. Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: 20. But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. 21. IFor Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day. 22. Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsa- bas, and Silas, chief men among the breth- ren: 23. And they wrote letters by them after this manner: The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the breth- ren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: 24. Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, sub- verting your Souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law; to whom we gave no such commandment: 25. It seemed good unto us, being assembled with One accord, to Send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26. Men that have hazarded their lives for the name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 27. We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. 28. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 29. That ye ab- stain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep your- selves, yeshall do well. Fareye well. 30. So when they were dismissed, they came to An- tioch; and when they had gathered the mul- titude together, they delivered the epistle: 31. Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation. Rom. 1:1. Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the 155 CATITOLICITY. gospel of God, 2. (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy Scriptures,) 3. Concerning his Son Jesus Christ Our Lord, which was made of the seed of David ac- cording to the flesh; 4. And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 5. By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: 6. Among whom are yealso the called of Jesus Christ: 7. To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be Saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 14. I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. 15. So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ : for it is the power of God unto Salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. Rom. 3:20. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21. But now the righteousness of God with- out the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22. Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26. To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which be- lieveth in Jesus. 27. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law 2 of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28. Therefore we conclude that a man is justi- fied by faith without the deeds of the law. 29. Is he the God of the Jews only 2 is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gen- tiles also: , 30. Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31. Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid.: yea, we establish the law. Rom. 4:1. What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2. For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for right- eousness. 4. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6. Even as David also describeth the blessed- ness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7. Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are for- given, and whose sins are covered. 8. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9. Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also 2 for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for right- eousness. 10. How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncir- cumcision? Not in circumcision, but in un- circumcision. 11. And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncir- cumcised; that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also: 12. And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. 13. For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, Or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14. For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: 15. Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. 16. Therefore it is of faith that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17. (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quicken- eth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were: 18. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, accord- ing to that which was spoken, So shall thy Seed be. 19. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: 20. He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21. And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22. And there- fore it was imputed to him for righteous- ness. 23. Now it was not written for his Sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 24. But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus Our LORD from the dead; 25. Who was de- livered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. Rom. 5:1. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Gal. 3:27. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on 156 CATHOLICITY. CELIBACY. Christ. 28. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Eph. 2:14. For he is our peace, who hath made both One, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15. Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in Ordinances; for to make in himself of twain One new man, so making peace; 16. And that he might reconcile both unto God in One body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17. And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. Col. 3:11. Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond avor free; but Christ is all, and in all. 12. Put on there- fore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13. For- bearing One another, and forgiving one an- Other, if any man have a quarrel against any : even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in One body; and be ye thankful.

But he said unto them, All ºven cannot re- ceive this saying, Save they to whom it is given. 12. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb : and there are Some eunuc, s which were made eunuchs of men : and here be eunuchs, which have made themsel Ves eu- nuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him re- ceive it. 1 Cor. 7:1. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2. Neverthe- less, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 7. For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. 8. Isay therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 9. But if they cannot contain, let them marry : for it is better to marry than to burn. 25. Now concerning virgins I have no com- mandment of the Lord: yet I give my judg- ment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. 26. I suppose there- fore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man SO to be. 32. But I would have you without care- fulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: 33. But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. 34. There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the World, how she may please her husband. 35. And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. 36. But if any man think that he behaveth himself 157 CELIBACY. CHARACTER, uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not : let them marry. 37. Nevertheless he that standeth Stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. 38. So then he that giveth Žer in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better. 39. The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her hus- band be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. 40. But she is happier if she so abide, after my judg- ment : and I think also that I have the Spirit of God. 1 Cor. 9:5. Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas ? 1 Tim. 4:1. Now the Spirit speaketh ex- pressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to sedu- cing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2. Speaking lies in hypocrisy ; having their conscience Seared with a hot iron ; 3. For- bidding to marry, and commanding to ab- stain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. Rev. 14:1. And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 4.

If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, 14. And give occa- Sions of Speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: 15. Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate. 16. And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; 17. And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, Saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daugh- ter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. 18. And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him ; 19. And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife ; he may not put her away all his days.

This is he which received seed by the way side. 20. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 21. Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while : for when tribulation Or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22. He also that re- ceived seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. Mark 4:15–19; Luke 8:5–15. Luke 9:59. And he said unto another, Fol- low me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 60. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 61. And another also said, Lord, I will fol- low thee; but let me first go bid them fare- well, which are at home at my house.

Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch. PHARAOH: Ex. 8:15. But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them: as the LORD had said. 32. And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time also, neither would he let the people go. Ex. 9:34. And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants. Ex. 14:5. And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us? SOLOMON: 1 Kin. 11:4. For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. 5. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 6. And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. 7. Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abom- ination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. 8. And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and Sacrificed unto their gods. ISRAELITES: Ex. 32:8. They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I com- manded them: they have made themamolten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sac- rificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. Judg. 2:17. And yet they would not heark. en unto their judges, but they went a whor. ing after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD ; bºtt they did not so. 19. And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fa- thers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way. 160 CHARACTER.

Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24. Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Matt. 6:14. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; 15. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matt. 7:1. Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3. And why beholdest thou the See mote that is in thy brother's eye, but con- siderest not the beam that is in thine own eye 3 4. Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine Own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy broth- er's eye. Luke 6:37–42. Matt. 18:21. Then came Peter to him, and Said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him 2 till seven times? 22. Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until Sev- enty times seven. 23. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. 24. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. 25. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26. The Servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 27. Then the lord of that Servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. 28. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. 29. And his fellow- servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 30. And he would not : but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 31. So when his fellow- servants saw what was done, they werevery sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. 32. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: 33. Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 34. And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. 35. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. - Luke 6:36. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. 37. Judgenot, and yeshall not be judged: condemn not and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven : Luke 17:3. Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him ; and if he repent, forgive him. 4. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent ; thou shalt forgive him. John 7:24. Judge not according to the ap- pearance, but judge righteous judgment. Rom. 14:1. Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. (11) 161 CHARITABLENESS. 2. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not ; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth : for God hath received him. 4. Who art thou that judgest another man's servant 2 to his ownmaster he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up : for God is able to make him stand. 5. One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 7. E'or none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. 8. For whether we live, we live unto the LOrd; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live there- fore, or die, we are the Lord's. 9. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and re- vived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 10. But why dost thou judge thy brother ? Or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 13. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. 14. I know, and am per- Suaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is noth- ing unclean of itself: but to him that es- teemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15. But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not chari- tably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 16. Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17. For the king- dom of God is not meat and drink; but right- eOusness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18. For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 19. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things where with one may edify another. 20. For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. 21. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is of: fended, Oris made weak. 22. Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. 23. And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is SII). 1 Cor. 4:5. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise Of God. 1 Cor. 10:28. But if any man Say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience Sake : for the earth is the Lord's, and the ful- ness thereof: 29. Conscience, I say, not thine Own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience? 30. For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? 31. Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever yedo, do all to the glory of God. 32. Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: 33. Even as I please all men in all things, not Seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be Saved. 1Cor. 13:1. Thoughlspeak with thetongues of men and of angels, and have not charity [R. V., love], I am become as Sounding brass, Or a tinkling cymbal. 2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understandall mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove moun- tains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not ; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6. Re- joiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopethall things, endurethall things. 8. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10. But when that which is perfect is Come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11. When I was a child, I Spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12. For now we see through a glass, darkly ; but then face to face: now I know in part ; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. 1 Cor. 16:14. Det all your things be done with charity. Gal. 6:1. Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore Such an one in the spirit of meekness; consid- ering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Eph. 4:32. And be ye kind one to an- Other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven yOu. Col. 3:13. Forbearing one another, and for- giving one another, if any man have a quar- rel against any: even as Christ forgave you, 162 CHARITABLENESS. CHASTISEMENT. so also do ye. 14. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 1 Tim. 1:5. Now the end of the Command- ment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: 1 Tim. 4:12. Tet no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in Spirit, in faith, in purity. 2 Tim. 2:22. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord Out of a pure heart. Jas. 2:13. For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy ; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. Jas. 4:11. Speak not evil One of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law : but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 12. There is one law- giver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another ? 1 Pet. 3:9. Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise bless- ing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 1 Pet. 4:8. And above all things have fer- vent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover a multitude of sins. See LOVE: UNCHARITABLENESS. CHARITY. See ALMS; BENEFICENCE: LIBERALITY; LOVE.

Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. Deut. 11:2. And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the TORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm, 3. And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land; 4. And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their Chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day; 5. And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place; 6. And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the Sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben : how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the sub- stance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel: 7. But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did. 8. Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land whither ye go to possessit; 9. And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey. 2 Sam. 7:14. I will be his father, and he shall be my Son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: 15. But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. 2 Chr. 6:24. And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall re- turn and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house; 25. Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers. 26. When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them ; 27. Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people lsrael, when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance. 28. If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever SOre, or whatsoever sickness there be : 29. Then, what prayer or what supplication Soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy peo- ple Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house : 30. Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man accord- ing unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest : (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men :) 31. That they may fear thee, to walkin thy ways, SO long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto Our fathers. 2 Chr. 7:13. If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to de- vour the land, or if I Send pestilence among my people: 14. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble them- selves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Job 5:17. Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth : therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty : Job 33:19. He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain : Psa. 6:1. O LORD, rebuke me not in thine 163 CHASTISEMENT. —FROM GOD. anger, neither chasten me in thy hot dis- pleasure. Psa. 38:1. Psa. 73:14. For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. Psa. 89:32. Then will I visit their trans- gression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. Psa. 94:12. Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him. Out of thy law ; 13. That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked. - Psa. 101:3. I will set no wicked thing be- fore mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. Psa. 106:43. Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their in- iquity. 44. Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: Psa. 107:17. FOOls because of their trans- gression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. 18. Their Soul abhorreth all man- ner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. 19. Then they cry unto the TORD in their trouble, and he saveth them Out of their distresses. 20. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. 21. Oh that me?”, would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of Imen | 23. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; 24. These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. 25. For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. 26. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. 27. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end. 28. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. 29. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. 30. Then are they glad because they be quiet ; SO he bringeththem unto their desired haven. 31. Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children. Of men Psa. 118:18. The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. Psa. 119:67. Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. 75. I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast af- flicted me. Prov. 3:11. My Son, despise not the chas- tening of the LORD ; neither be weary of his Correction: 12. For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth ; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. Isa. 26:16. LORD, in trouble have they visit- ed thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. Isa. 42:25. Therefore he hath poured upon * - * **** him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle; and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart. Isa. 53:4. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5. But he was wounded for our transgres- sions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of Our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isa. 57:16. For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before me, and the souls which I have made. 17. For the iniquity of his cov- etousness was I wroth, and smote him : I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on fro- wardly in the way of his heart. 18. I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore comforts unto him and to his mourners. Jer. 2:30. In vain have I smitten your children: they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion. Jer. 30:14. All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not ; for I have wound- ed thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel One, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased. Jer. 31:18. I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chas- tised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God. 19. Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I Smote upon my thigh : I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. 20. Is Ephraim my dear son ? is he a pleasant child? for Since I spake against him, I do earnestly re- member him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD. Jer. 46:28. Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD : for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee : but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished. . Lam. 1:5. Her adversaries are the chief, her enemies prosper; for the LORD hath afflicted her for the multitude of her trans- gressions: her children are gone into cap- tivity before the enemy. Hos. 7:12. When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard. IIos. 10:10. It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gath- ered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows. Hag. 2:17. I smote you with blasting and _ 164 CHASTISEMENT. CHASTITY. with mildew and with hail in all the labours of your hands; yet ye turned not to me, Saith the LORD. Heb. 12:5. And ye have forgotten the ex- hortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My Son, despise not thou the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: 6. For whom the LORD loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what Son is he whom the father chasteneth not ? 8. But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 9. Fur- thermore, we have had fathers of Our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them rev- erence: shall we not much rather be in sub- jection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10. For they verily for a few days chastened ots after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 11. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peace- able fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Rev. 3:19. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. See AFFLICTION, DESIGN OF; JUDGMENTS; I’UNISHMENT: WICKED, PUNISHMENT OF. CHASTITY. Ex. 20:14. Thou Shalt, not commit adultery. Job. 31:1. I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid? Prov. 2:10. When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy Soul: 11. Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: 16. To de- liver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; 17. Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. 18. For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. 19. None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. 20. That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. 21. For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. 22. But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it. Prov. 5:15. Drink waters out of thine Own Cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. 16. Let, thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. 17. Let them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee. 18. Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. 19. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. 20. And why wilt thou, my Son, be ravished with a strange woman, and embrace the bosom of a stranger? 21. For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings. Prov. 6:24. To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 25. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. Prov. 7:1. My Son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. 2. Keep my commandments, and live ; and my law as the apple of thine eye. 3. Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. 4. Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: 5. That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words. Prov. 31:3. Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which de- stroyeth kings. Matt. 5:28. But I say unto you, That who- soever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. - Acts 15:20. But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, Rom. 13:13. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, 1 Cor. 6:13. Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for for- nication, but for the Lord ; and the Lord for the body. 14. And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. 15. Know ye 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. 16. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body ? for two, Saith he, shall be one flesh. 17. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body : but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19. What? know ye not that your body is he temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own 2 1 Cor. 7:1. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for man not to touch a woman. 2. Neverthe- less, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 7. For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and an- other after that. 8. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 9. But if they can- not contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. 25. Now concerning virgins Ihave no com- mandment of the Lord : yet I give my judg- ment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. 26. I suppose there- fore that this is good for the present distress, * 165 . CHASTITY. CHIDING. I say, that it is good for a man SO to be. 36. But if any man think that he behaveth him- self uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need SO require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not : let them marry. 37. Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his Own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. Eph. 5:3. But fornication, and all unclean- ness, or covetousness, let it not be Once named among you, as becometh Saints; Col. 3:5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, un- cleanness, inordinate affection, evil Concu- piscence, and covetousness, which is idol- atry : Finess 4:3. For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should ab- stain from fornication: 7. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. Rev. 14:1. And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and fourthousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 2. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3. And they sung as it were a new Song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that Song but the hundred and forty and four thou- Sand, which were redeemed from the earth. 4. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whitherso- ever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. See CONTINENCE.

THE GIFT OF GOD: Gen. 4:1. And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and Said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. 25. And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth : For God, said she, hath ap- pointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. Gen. 17:16. And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. 20. And as for Ish- mael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. Gen. 28:3. And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people; Gen. 29:32. And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben : for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me. 33. And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard that I was hated, he hath there- fore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon. 34. And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three Sons: there- fore was his name called Levi. 35. And she conceived again, and bare a Son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD : therefore she called his name Judah ; and left bearing. Gen. 30:2. And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel; and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb 7 6. And Rachel said, God hath 167 CIIILDT.I.N.--GOD's CARE OF-A BLISSING COMMANDMENTS TO. judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son : therefore called she his name Dan. 17. And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son. 18. And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar. 19. And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth Son. 20. And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun. 22. And God remembered Rachel, and God heark- ened to her and opened her womb. 23. And she conceived, and bare a Son; and Said, God hath taken away my reproach: 24. And she called his name Joseph; and Said, The LORD shall add to me another Son. Gen. 33:5. And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children, and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant. Ruth 4:13. So Boaztook Ruth, and she was his wife; and when he went in unto her, the TORD gave her conception, and she bare a SOIl. Job 1:21. The LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. Psa. 107:38. He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly ; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. 41. Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock. Psa. 113:9. He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. Psa. 1273. Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD : &nd the fruit of the womb is his reward. - GOD’S CARE OF: Ex. 22:22. Ye Shall not; afflict any widow, or fatherless child. 23. If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry : 24. And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless. Deut. 10:18. He doth execute the judg- ment of the fatherless and widow, and loveth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. Deut. 14:29. The stranger, and the father- less, and the widow, which are within thy rates, shall come, and shall eat and be satis- ed; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest. Job 29:12. I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. Psa, 10:14. Thou art the helper of the fatherless. 17. Thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: 18. To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress. Psa. 27:10. When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. Psa. 68:5. A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation. Psa. 146:9. The LORD . . . relieveth the fatherless and widow: . Jer. 49:11. Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me. Hos. 14:3. In thee the fatherless findeth mercy. Mal. 3:5. I will be a swift witness against . . . those that oppress. . . the widow, and the fatherless, A BLESSING: Gen. 5:29. And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed. Gen. 30:1. And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me chil- dren, or else I die. Psa. 127:3. Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD : and the fruit of the womb is his reward. 4. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. 5. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them : they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the ate. § Prov. 17:6. Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children &re their fathers. - Isa. 54:1. Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, Saith the LORD. Jer. 20:15. Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad. COMMANDMENTS T{} : Ex. 20:12.

For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. 3.

Hear, ye children, the instruc- tion of a father, and attend to know under- standing. 2. For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law. 3. For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. 4. He taught me also, and Said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. 10. Hear, O my son, and receive my say- ings; and the years of thy life shall be many. 11. I have taught thee in the way of wis- dom; I have led thee in right paths. 20. My Son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my SayingS. 21. Let them not de- part from thine eyes, keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. - Prov. 5:1. My Son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: 2. That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge. Prov. 6:20. My son, keep thy father's com- mandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: 21. Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. 22. When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. 23. For the commandment is a lamp ; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: 24. To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 25. Iust not after her beauty in thine heart : neither let her take thee with her eyelids. Prov. 8:32. Hearken unto me, O ye chil- dren: for blessed are they that keep my ways. 33.

COUNSEL OF PARENTS TO : 1 Rin. 2:1. Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, Saying, 2. I go the way of all the earth : be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man; 3. And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is writ- ten in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whither- soever thou turnest thyself: 4. That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concerning me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before mein truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (Said he) a man on the throne of Israel. 1 Chr. 22:6. Then he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build an house for the IORD God of Israel. 7. And David Said to Solomon, My Son, as for me, it was in my mind to build an house unto the name of the LORD my God: 8. But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great Wars: thou shalt not build an house unto my name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in my sight. 9. Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest : and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about : for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto IS- rael in his days. 10. He shall build an house for my name; and he shall be my Son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever. 11. Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as he hath said of thee. [1 Chr. 28:9,10,20.] 12. Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God. 13. Then shalt thou prosper, if thou takest heed to ful- fil the statutes and judgments which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not, nor be dismayed. See PARENTS. INSTRUCTION OF: Ex. 13:8. And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, Saying, This ãs done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth Out of Egypt. 9. And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LóFD brought thee out of Egypt. 10. Thou shalt therefore keep this Ordinance in his season from year to year. 14. And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt 169 CHILDREN.—FAISF. INSTRUCTION OF-PRAY FR IN REHALF OF. say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage: 15. And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast : therefore Isacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem. 16. And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt. Deut. 4:9. Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul-diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy. life: but teach them thy Sons, and thy Sons' sons; 10. Specially the day that thou stood- est before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD Said unto me, Gather me the peo- ple together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children. Deut. 6:6. And these words, which I com- mand thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7. And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. Deut. 11:19. And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sit- test in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 20. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates. Deut. 31:12. Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law : 13. And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. Josh. 8:35. There was not a word Of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them. Psa. 34:11. Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. Psa. 78:1. Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2. I will open my mouth in a para- ble: I will utter dark sayings of old : 3. Which we have heard and known, and Our fathers have told us. 4. We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. 5. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: 6. That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born ; who should arise and de- clare them to their children: 7. That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his command- ments: 8. And might not be as their fa- thers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with GOd. - Frov. 1:1. The Proverbs Of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; 4. To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. Prov. 22:6. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Isa. 28:9. Whom shall he teach knowl- edge? and whom shall he make to under- stand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; lineupon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: Joel 1:3. Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. John 21:15. Feed my lambs. Acts 22:3. I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gama- liel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day. For SOLOMON'S INSTRUCTION OF YOUNG MEN AND CHILDREN, see YOUNG MEN. BY TUTORS. See TUTOR. FALSE INSTRUCTION OF : Mark 7:9. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 10. For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: 11. But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Cor- ban, that is to Say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. 12. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13. Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have de- livered: and many such like things do ye.

Job 1:5. And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them [his children], and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my Sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually. - PROMISES AND ASSURANCES TO: Prov. 3:1. My Son, forget not my law ; but let thine heart keep my commandments: 2.

He shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, Iša. 54:13. All thy children shall be taught of the LORD ; and great shall be the peace of thy children. Matt. 18:4.

Josh. 24:15. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that ºpere on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. 16. And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods; 17. For the LORD Our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in Our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed: 18. And the LORD drave out from be- fore us all the people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land: therefore will we also serve the LORD ; for he is Our God. 1 Kin. 18:21. And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him; but if Baal, them follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst there- of by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. 5.

Therefore thus Saith the Lord GOD, Be- hold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. Isa. 31:4. For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them : so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof. 5. As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and pass- ing over he will preserve it. Isa. 33:5. The LORD is exalted; . . . he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. 14. The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearful- ness hath surprised the hypocrites. 20. Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down ; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be re- moved, neither shallany of the cords thereof be broken. 21. But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with Oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby. 22. For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our King; he will save us. 23. Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey. 24. And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick; the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity. Isa. 35:1. The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. 2. It shall bloSSOm abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of TLebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Car- meland Sharon, they shallsee the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God. 3. Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. 4. Say to them that are ol a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not : behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. 5. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 6. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break Out, and streams in the desert. 7. And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habita- tion of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. 8. And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not passover it; but it shall be for those: the way- faring men, thoughfools,shall not errthere???. 9. No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there : but the redeemed shall walk there: 10. And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with Songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and SOrrow and sighing shall flee away. Isa. 40:9. OZion, that bringest goodtidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jeru- salem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say untothe cities of Judah, Behold your God! 10. Behold, the Tord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him : behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. 11. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. Isa. 43:1. But now thussaith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not : for Ihave redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou ((?'t mine. 2. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neithershall the flame kindle upon thee. 3. For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee., 4. Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and peo- ple for thy life. 5.

Awake, awake ; put on thy strength, O Zion ; put on thy beautiful gar- ments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for hence- forth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. 2. Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion. 7. How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace: that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth Salvation: that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth ! 8. Thy watch- men shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion. 9. Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem. 10. The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the sal- vation of our God. 11. Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from thence, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD. 12. For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you ; and the God of Israel will be your rereward. Isa. 59:20. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from trans- gression in Jacob, Saith the LORD. Isa. 60:1.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall rise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 3. And the Gentiles shall cometothy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 4. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy Sons shall —º come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. 5. Then thou shalt See, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. 6. The multitude of Camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shallcome: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD. 19. But the LORD shall be untothee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. 20. Thy sun shall no morego down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. 21. Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. Isa. 61:1.

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of Our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3. To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heavi- ness; that they might be called trees of right- eousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. - Isa. 62:1. For Zion's sake will Inot hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof goforth as brightness, and the Salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. 3. Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. 11. Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Sayye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy Salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. 12. And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not for- Saken. Isa. 66:8. Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day ? Or shall a nation be born at Once 2 for as Soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. 18.

Jer. 31:6. For there shall be a day, that the watchman upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD Our God. 7. For thus Saith the LORD ; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: pub- lish ye, praise ye, and Say, O LORD, Save thy people, the remnant of Israel. 12. Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the good- ness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their Soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. 23.

For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church : and he is the saviour of the body. 24.

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26. That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the wash- ing of water by the word, 27. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 29.

Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubim, Shine forth. 2. Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and COme and save us. 3. Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. 4. O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? 5. Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. 6. Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and Our ene- mies laugh among themselves. 7. Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. 8. Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt : thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. 9. Thou preparedst room, before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. 10. The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. 11. She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river. 12. Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her? 13. The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. 14. Return, we be- Seech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; 15. And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. 16. It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. 17. Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. 18. So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. 19. Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. Isa. 1:2. Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth : for the LORD hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me. 3. The Ox know- eth his owner, and the ass his master's Crib : bott Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider. 4. Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have for- saken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. vs. 5-27; 17:9–11; 43:22–28; Jer. 2:5–34; 3:1–25; 8:5–22.

And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, Saith the LORD. Jer. 10:19. Woe is me for my hurt my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this is a grief, and I must bear it. 20. My taber- nacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they are not : there is none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to Set up my curtains. 21. For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD : therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered. 22. Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, and a den of dragons.

Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground 7 8. And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: 9. And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. Rev. 2:1. Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven gold- en candlesticks; 2. I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou Canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 3. And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 4. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candle- stick out of his place, except thou repent. 6. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate. 12. And to the angel of the church in Per- gamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; 13. I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, eve?”, where Satan's seat is : and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my 182 CHURCH. —BENEFICENCE OF-CHRIST, HEAD OF. faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. 14. But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things Sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornica- tion. 15. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. 16. Repent ; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 18. And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; 19.I know thy works, and charity, and Service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. 20. Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to Seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things Sacrificed unto idols. 21. And I gave her space to repent of her forni- cation; and she repented not. 22. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribu- lation, except they repent of their deeds. 23. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which Searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. 24. But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak: I will put upon you none other burden. 25.

And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. 2. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 3. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and re- pent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. 4. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. 14. And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; 15. I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot : I would thou wert cold or hot. 16. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. 17. Because thou Sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou may- est be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear ; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. 19. As many as Ilove, I rebuke and chasten : be zealous therefore, and repent. 20.

And there Shall be, like people, like priest : and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. Mic. 3:1. And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judg- ment 2 2. Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from Off their bones; 3. Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron. 4. Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings. 9. Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity. 11. The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money : yet will they lean upon the LORD, and Say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. Matt. 21:33. Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: 34. And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. 35. And the husbandmen took his Servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36. Again, he sent other Servants more than the first : and they did unto them likewise. 37. But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will rever- ence my son. 38. But when the husbandmen Saw the Son, they said among themselves, This is the heir ; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 39. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vine- yard, and slew him. 40. When the lord there- fore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen 3 41. They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 45. And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. Mark 12:1–12. Matt. 23:2. The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat : 3. All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do: but do not yeafter their works: for they say, and do not. 4. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with One of their fingers. 5. But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6. And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief Seats in the synagogues, 7. And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 13. But woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites 1 for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pre- tence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 15. Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites for ye compaSS Sea and land to make One prose- lyte ; and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than your- selves. 16. Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing ; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! 17. Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold 18. And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever swear- eth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. 19. Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that Sanctifieth the gift? 20. Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things there- on. 21. And whoso shall swearby the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 22. And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. 23. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites 1 for ye pay tithes of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier an atters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith : these Ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24. Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypo- crites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26. Thow blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 27. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful Outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. 28. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 29.

And Say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, We would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 32. Fill ye up then the measure of your fa- thers. 33. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell ? Matt. 26:59. Now the chief priests, and eld- ers, and all the council, Sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death ; 60. But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, 61. And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. 62. And the high priest arose, and Said unto him, Answer- est thou nothing? what is it which these wit- ness against thee? 63. But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and Said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. 64. Jesus Saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I Say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 65. Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blas- phemy: what further need have we of wit- nesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy, 66. What think ye 2 They an- swered and said, He is guilty of death. 67. Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, 68. Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee ? Mark 14:10. And Judas Iscariot, One of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to be- tray him unto them. 11. And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him. Matt. 26: 14–16; Luke 22:3–6. See BACKSLIDERS, BACKSLIDING OF ISRAEL. DECREES OF : Acts 15:28. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these nec- essary things; 29. That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. Acts 16:4. And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem. DESIGN OF : ROm. 3:2.

Now if Timotheus come, see that he may be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do. 11. Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for I look for him with the brethren. Phil. 2:29. Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation: Phil. 4:10. But I rejoiced in the Lord great- ly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also care- ful, but ye lacked opportunity. 11. Not that I speak in respect of want : for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, there- with to be content. 12. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 14. Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. 15. Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. 16. For even in TheSSalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. 17. Not because I desire a gift : but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. 18. But I have all, and abound: I am full, having re- ceived of Epaphroditus the things Which were sent from you, an odour of a Sweet Smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. 1 Thess. 5:12. And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 13. And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. - 1 Tim. 5:17. Ilet the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, espe- cially they who labour in the word and doc- trine. Heb. 13:7. Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto youthe word of God: whose faith follow, consider- ing the end of their conversation. 17. Obey them that have the rule over you, and sub- mit yourselves: for they watch for your Souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the Sentence of judgment: 10. And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee: 11. According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do : thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left. 12. And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel. 13. And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously. Matt. 16:19. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and what- SOever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Tuke 9:46. Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be great- est. 47. And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by bim. 48. And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name re- ceiveth me : and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great. Tuke 22:24. And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be ac- counted the greatest. 25. And he said unto them, The Kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 26. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 27. For whether is greater, he that sittieth at meat, or he that serveth ? is not he that sitteth at meat' but I am among you as he that serveth. 28. Ye are they which have continued with me in my temp- tations. 29. And I appoint unto you a king- dom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; 30. That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. John 20:23. Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose so- ever sins ye retain, they are retained. Acts 1:15. Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty). 23. They appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, . and Matthias. 24. And they prayed, and Said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen, 25. That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. 26. And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Mat- thias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. Acts 6:2. The twelve called the multitude Of the disciples ºnto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. 3. Brethren, look ye out among you Seven men of honest report, full Of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may ºppoint Over this business. 5. The say- ing pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, . . . 6. Whom they Set #efore the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. Acts 11:22. Tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch. 29. The disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea: 30. Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. Acts 13:1. There were in the Church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teach- ers; as Barnabas, and Simeon, . . . 3. When they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. 5. They had also John to their minister. Acts 14:23. When they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, Acts 15:1. And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. 2. When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no Small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. 3. And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conver- sion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren. 4. And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were re- ceived of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that GOd had done with them. 5. But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to cir- cumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. 6. And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. 7. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among 187 CIIURCII.-GovKRNMENT OF, Mosaic AND CHRISTIAN. us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 8. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 9. And put no dif- ference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 10. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fa- thers nor we were able to bear? 11. But We believe that through the grace of the TLOrd Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. 12. Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declar- ing what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them. 13. And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men &nd brethren, heark- en unto me: 14. Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. 15. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, 16. After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of Da- vid, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up : 17. That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, Saith the Lord, who do- eth all these things. 18. Rnown unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. 19. Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: 20. But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. 21. For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day. 22. Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas Surnamed Barsa- bas, and Silas, chief men among the breth- ren: 23. And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the breth- ren which are of the Gentilesin Antioch and Syria and Cilicia: 24. Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went Out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your Souls, Saying, Ye 7777.lst be circumcised, and keep the law : to whom we gave no such commandment: 25. It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Bar- nabas and Paul. 26. Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 27. We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. 28. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: 29. That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. 30. So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch : and when they had gathered the multitude together, they de- livered the epistle: 31. Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation. Acts 16:4. And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem. 5. And SO were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily. Acts 20:17. From Miletus he sent to Ephe- sus, and called the elders of the church. 28. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, Over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his Own blood. 1 Cor. 7:17. As God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches. 1 Cor. 11:2. I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the Or- dinances, as I delivered them to you. 33. When ye come together to eat, tarry One for another. 34. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home ; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I Set in Order when I come. 1 Cor. 12:5. There are differences of admin- istrations, but the same Lord. 28. God hath set some in the church, first apostles, second- arily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, gov- ernments, diversities of tongues. 1 Cor. 14:26. Howisit then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 33. God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the Saints. 40. Let all things be done decently and in Order. 1 Cor. 16:3. When I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I Send to bring your liberality unto Jerusalem. 16. Submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with us, and laboureth. 2 Cor. 2:6. Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many. 7. So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with Overmuch sorrow. vs. 2–11. Gal. 2:9. When James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands offellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. 10. Only they would that we should remember the poor : Eph. 4:11. He gave some, apostles; and Some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12.

Thou shalt surely Smite the inhabit- ants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword. 16. And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again. 17. And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and mul- tiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fa- thers; 18. When thou shalt hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD thy God. Deut. 17:2. If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant, 3. And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded ; 4. And it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, and enquired dili- gently, and, behold, it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel: 5. Then shalt thou bring forth that man Or that woman, which have com- mitted that wicked thing, unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die. 6. At the mouth of two witnesses, or three wit- nesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one wit- ness he shall not be put to death. 7. The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you. S. If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose; 9. And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment : 10. And thou shalt do according to the Sen- tence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee: 11. According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do; thou shalt not de- cline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left. 12. And the man that will do presumptu- ously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel. 13. And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more pre- Sumptuously. Deut. 19:16. If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong ; 17. Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days; 18. And the judges shall make diligent in- quisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother ; 19. Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you. 20. And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall hence- forth commit no more any such evil among you. 21. And thine eye shall not pity; bºtt life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. Deut. 21:1. If one be found slain in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it, lying in the field, and it be not known who hath slain him : 2. Then thy elders and thy judges shall come forth, and they shall measure unto the cities which are round about him that is slain: 3. And it shall be, that the city which is next unto the slain man, even the elders of that city shall take an heifer, which hath not been wrought with, and which hath not drawn in the yoke; 4. And the elders of that city shall bring down the heifer unto a rough Valley, which is neither eared nor Sown, and shall strike Off the heifer's neck there in the val- ley : 5. And the priests the Sons of Levi shall come near; for them the LORD thy 190 CHURCH.—BULES OF DISCIPLINE IN. God hath chosen to minister unto him, and to bless in the name of the LORD ; and by their word shall every controversy and every stroke be tried: 6. And all the elders of that city, that are next unto the slain man, shall wash their hands Over the heifer that is beheaded in the valley: 7. And they shall answer and say, Our hands have not shed this blood, neither have our eyes seen Žt. 8. Be merciful, O LORD, unto thy peo- ple Israel, whom thou hast redeemed, and lay not innocent blood unto thy people of IS- rael's charge. And the blood shall be for- given them. 9. So shalt thou put away the gºtilt of innocent blood from among you, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight of the LORD. 18. If a man have a stubborn and rebel- lious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them : 19. Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; 20. And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This Our Son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. 21. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: SO shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. Deut. 22:13. If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, 14. And give Occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: 15. Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the to/cens of the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate : 16. And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; 17. And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daugh- ter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. 18. And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him ; 19. And they shall amerce him in an hundred s/he/cels of Silver, and give them, unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days. 20. But if this thing be true, and the to/tems of virginity be not found for the damsel: 21. Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shallstone her with Stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house; so shalt thou put evil away from among you. 22. If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: So shalt thou put away evil from Israel. 23. If a damsel that is a virgin be be- trothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; 24. Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with Stones that they die; the damsel, because She cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you. 25. But if a man find a be- trothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her; then the man only that lay with her shall die: 26. But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin abort/ly of death : for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even SO is this matter: 27. For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her. 28. If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; 29. Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the dam- sel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath hum- bled her, he may not put her away all his days. Ezra 10:7. And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Jerusalem ; 8. And that whosoever would not come with- in three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.

John 20:23. Matt. 18:15. Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16. |But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee One or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church : but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. 18. Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. John 9:22. These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did con- fess that he was Christ, he should be put Out of the synagogue. 34. They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast 191 CHURCH.—RULES of DISCIPLINE IN. him out. 35. Jesus heard that they had cast him out ; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son Of God? John 16:2.

If any man love not the Lor J º Christ, let him be Anathema Maran- atha. 2 Cor. 2:6. Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many. 7. Ye Ought rather to forgive him, and com- fort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. 8. Wherefore I beseech you that ye would con- firm your love toward him. 10. To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave anything, to whom I forgave it, for your Sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ ; 11. Lest Satan should get an advan- tage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 2 Cor. 6:14. Be ye not unequally yoked to- gether with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with dark- neSS Ž 15. And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that be- lieveth with an infidel ? 2 Cor. 7:8. For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent : for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season. 2 Cor. 10:1–11. 2 Cor. 13:1. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. 2. I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare: 10.

But now are they many members, yet but One body. 21. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22. Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23. And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant hon- our; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24. For Our comely parts have no need; but God hath tem- pered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked ; 25. That there should be no Schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26.

It shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim. Amos 9:11. In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old : 12. That they may possess the rem- nant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, Saith the LORD that doeth this. Mic. 4:3. He shall judge among many peo- ple, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, nei- ther shall they learn war any more. 4. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it. vs. 1–7. Mic. 5:2. But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet Out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. 4. And he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God; and they shall abide : for now shall he be great unto the ends of the earth. 7. And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the show- ers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the Sons of men. vs. 2–15. .

Zech. 2:10. Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, Saith the LORD. 11. And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee. - Zech. 6:15. They that are far off shallcome and build in the temple of the LORD, Zech. 8:20. It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: 21. And the inhabitants of One city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also. 22. Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD. 23. Thus Saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold Of the skirt.

From the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name,and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD Of hosts.

There hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. Matt. 13:16. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 17. For verily I say unto you, That many proph- ets and righteous men have desired to See those things which ye see, and have not seen them, and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. 31. The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mus- tard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 32. Which indeed is the least of all Seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, SO that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branchesthereof. 33. The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. Matt. 16:18. Upon this rock I will build my church ; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Mark 4:26. So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground ; 27. And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself: first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 29. But when the fruit is brought forth, im- mediately he putteth in the Sickle, because the harvest is come. vs. 30–32. Tuke 7:22. Then Jesus answering said un- to them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached. Matt. 11:5. John 8:35. The servant abideth not in the house for ever: bºtt the Son abideth ever. John 10:16. Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also Imust bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be One fold, and One shepherd. Rom. 1:5. By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: 6. Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: 7. To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God Our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. - 1 Cor. 15:24. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all, authority and power. 25. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. , 26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. , 27. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 28. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. {e Eph. 1:10. That in the dispensation of the fulness of times hemight gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Heb. 12:23.

This word, Yet once more, signifieth the remov- ing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28. Where- fore we receiving a kingdom which Cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby We may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: Rev. 5:10. And hast made us unto Our God kings and priests: and we shall reign. On the earth. 13. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the Sea, and all that are in them, heard I Saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever. Rev. 11:15. The seventh angel Sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, Say- ing, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. Rev. 12:10. I heard a loud voice Saying in heaven, Now is come Salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before Our God day and night. Rev. 15:4. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou Only art holy : for all nations shall come and wor- ship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest. Bev. 20:4. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them : and I saw the Souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Je- sus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were fin- ished. This is the first resurrection. 6. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection : on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. Rev. 21:9. And there came untO me One of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. 10. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, de- Scending out of heaven from God, 11. Hav- ing the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jas- per stone, clear as crystal; 12. And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13. On the east three gates, on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and On the west three gates. 14. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15. And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. 16. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand fur- longs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. 17. And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred (tºd forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. 18. And the building of the wall of it was of jasper, and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. 19. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second Sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; 20. The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, Sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth: the twelfth, an am- ethyst. 21. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 22. And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it : for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 24. And the na- tions of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. 25. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 26. And they shall bring the glory and hon- Our Of the nations into it. 27. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they lºch are written in the Tamb's book of ITG. Rev. 22:1. And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding Out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3. And there shall be no more Curse : but the throne of God and Of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4. And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for 202 CHURCH.-CHRISTIAN–UNITY OF-TRIUMPHANT. the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22.

I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in One; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Rom. 12:4. As we have many members in One body, and all members have not the Same office: 5. So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 1 Cor. 10:17. We being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that One bread. 1 Cor. 12:5. There are differences of admin- istrations, but the same Tord. 12. As the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, wheth- er we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 26. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it ; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. vs. 12–27. Gal. 3:26. Ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female : for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. Eph. 1:10. That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in One all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: Eph. 2:14.

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in Ordinances; for to make in himself of tWain One new man, so making peace; 16. And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17. And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19. Ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the Saints, and of the household of God; 21. In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord : - Eph. 3:6. The Gentiles should be fellow- heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: 15. Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, Eph. 4:4. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5. One Lord, One faith, one baptism, 6. One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 12. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ : 13. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the meas- ure Of the stature Of the fulness of Christ : 16. From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, mak- eth increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. 25. We are members One of another. Col. 3:11. There is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 15.

Curse not the king, no, not in thy thought ; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. Jer. 29:7. Seek the peace of the city whith- er I have caused you to be carried away cap- tives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace. Matt. 17:24. They that received tribute 7money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute 2 25. He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Je- sus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon ? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom Or tribute 2 of their Own children, or of strangers? 26. Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free. 27. Not- withstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the Sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money : that take, and give unto them for me and thee. Matt. 22:17. Tell us therefore, What think- est thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not ? 18. But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and Said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? 19. Shew me the trib- ute money. And they brought unto him a penny. 20. And he saith unto them, Whose Žs this image and superScription ? 21. They Say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's ; and unto God the things that are God's. Mark 12:14–17; Luke 20:22–25. Acts 19:36. Ye Ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly. vs. 35–41. Rom. 13:1. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are Ordained of God. 2. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the Ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to them- Selves damnation. 3. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power ? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same : 5. Ye must needs be Subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 6. For this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due ; custom to whom custom ; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. 1 Tim. 2:1. I exhort therefore, that, first Of all, Supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2. For kings, and for all that are in author- ity; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. Tit. 3:1. Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magis- trates, 1 Pet. 2:13. Submit yourselves to every Ordinance of man for the Tord’s sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 14. Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evil- doers, and for the praise of them that do well. 15. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ig- norance of foolish men : 16. As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of mali- ciousness, but as the Servants of God. 17. Honour all me?". Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. RIGHTS OF : Job 34:18. Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked ? and to princes, Ye are ungodly : Prov. 14:28. In the multitude of people is the king's honour: but in the want of people às the destruction of the prince. 35. The king's favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrathis against him that causeth shame. Prov. 22:11. He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shal/ be his friend. Prov. 23:1. When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: 2. And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. 3. Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceit- ful meat. - Acts 16:37. They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast ots into prison; and now do they thrust us out privily 2 nay verily ; but let them come themselves and fetch us out. Acts 19:36. Seeing then that these things 20ö CITIZENS. WICKED. CIVIL SERVICE. cannot be spoken against, ye Ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly. 37. For ye have brought hither these men, which are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blas- phemers of your goddess. 38. Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftsmen which are with him, have a matter against any man, the law is open, and there are deputies: let them implead one another. 39. But if ye enquire anything concerning other matters, it shall be determined in a lawful assembly. Acts 22:25. And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to Scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned ? 26. When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, Saying, Take heed what thou doest : for this man is a Boman. 27. Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Boman? He said, Yea. 28. And the chief captain answered, With a great sum ob- tained I this freedom. And Paul Said, But I was free born. 29. Then straightway they departed from him which should have ex- amined him ; and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. Acts 25:16. It is not the manner of the Bomans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him. vs. 5,10; Acts 24:18, 19.

And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes; 4. Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding Science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chal- deans. 5. And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: So nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king. 17. As for these four children, God gave them knowl- edge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. 18. Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. 19. And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hana- niah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king. 20. And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrolo- gers that were in all his realm, 21.

And Joseph was brought down to Egypt ; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither. 2. And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3. And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. 4. And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer Over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. 5. And it came to pass from the time that he had 206 CIVIL SERVICE.-APPOINTMENT IN, ON ACCOUNT OF MERIT. made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. 6. And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured. Gen. 41:38. And Pharaoh said unto his Servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is 2 39. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: 40. Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. 41. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee Over all the land of Egypt. 42. And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; 43. And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee; and he made him ruler Over all the land of Egypt. 44. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and with- out thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt. 1 Kin. 11:28. And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon see- ing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph. Esth. 6:1. On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. 2. And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who SOught to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus. 3. And the king said, What honour and dig- nity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that min- istered unto him, There is nothing done for him. 4. And the king said, Who is in the court 2 Now Haman was come into the Outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gal- lows that he had prepared for him. 5. And the king's servants said unto him, Behold, Haman standeth in the court. And the king Said, Let him come in. 6. So Haman came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the man whom the king de- lighteth to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king de- light to do honour more than to myself? 7. And Haman answered the king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour, 8. Let the royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and the crown royal which is set upon his head: 9. And let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of One of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man withdl whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him, Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour. 10. Then the king said to Ha- man, Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast Said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate: let nothing fail of all that thou hast Spoken. 11. Then took Haman the ap- parel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the Street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour. Dan. 1:17. As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learn- ing and wisdom: and Daniel had under- Standing in all visions and dreams. 18.

And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus. Matt. 25:14. For the kingdom of heaven. Žs as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his Several ability; and straightway took his journey. 23. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 24. Then he which had received the One talent came and said, Lord, Iknew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not Sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25. And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that Žs thine. 26. His lord answered and said unto him, Thow wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27. Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. 28. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 29. For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30. And cast ye the unprofitable Serv- ant into Outer darkness: there shall be 207 CIVIL SERVICE.-CORRUPTION IN–TEFORM IN weeping and gnashing of teeth. Luke 19: CORRUPTION IN: Neh. 5:15. But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their Servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God. Dan. 6:4. Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel Con: cerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion nor fault; forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error Or fault found in him. 5. Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him con- cerning the law of his God. 6. Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever. 7. All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God Or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. 8. Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, ac- cording to the law of the Medes and Per- sians, which altereth not. 9. Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the de- Cree. 10. Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house ; and, his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did afore- time. 11. Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making Supplica- tion before his God. 12. Then they came near, and Spake before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. 13. Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, re- gardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his peti- tion three times a day. 14. Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore dis- pleased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him ; and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him. 15. Then these men assembled unto the king, and Said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed. 16. Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, INFLUENCE IN. Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee. 17. And a Stone Was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his Own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed COncern- ing Daniel. Mark 15:15. And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. Acts 24:26. He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him. See BRIBERY. REFORM IN : Neh. 5:14. Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor. 15. But the former governors that had been be- fore me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, be- sides forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but SO did not I, because of the fear of God. INFLUENCE IN: 1 Kin. 1:11. Wherefore Nathan spake unto Bath-sheba, the mother of Solomon, saying, Hast thou not heard that Adonijah the son of Haggith doth reign, and David Our lord knoweth it not ? 12. Now therefore come, let me, I pray thee, give thee counsel, that thou mayest Save thine Own life, and the life of thy son Solomon. 13. GO and get thee in untoking David, and Say unto him, Didst not thou, my lord, O king, Swear unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Sol- omon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne 3 why then doth Adonijah reign 14. Behold, while thou yet talkest there with the king, I also will come in after thee, and confirm thy words. , 15. And Bath-sheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shumammite ministered unto the king. 16. And Bath-sheba bowed, and did obeisance unto the king. And the king said, What wouldest thou? 17. And she said unto him, My lord, thou Swarest by the LORD thy God unto thine handmaid, saying, Assuredly Solomon thy Son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne. 18. And now, behold, Adonijah reigneth; and now, my lord the king, thou knowest it not : 20. And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon thee, that thou shouldest tell them who shall sit On the throne of my lord the king after him. 21. Otherwise it shall come to pass, when my lord the king shall sleep with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon shall be counted of- fenders. 29. And the king Sware, and Said, As the LORD liveth, that hath redeemed my Soul Out of all distress, 30. Even as Isware unto thee by the LORD God of Israel, Saying, 208 CIVIL SERVICE. CLOUD. Assuredly Solomon thy son shall reign after me, and he shall sit upon my throne in my stead; even so will I certainly do this day. 31. Then Bath-sheba bowed with her face to the earth, and did reverence to the king, and said, Let my lord king David live for ever. vs. 5–40. 2 Kin. 4:13. And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host 3 And she answered, I dwell among mine own people. Matt. 20:20. Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worship- ping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. 21. And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She said unto him, Grant that these my two Sons may sit, the One on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom. 22. But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with ? They say unto him, We are able. 23. And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with : but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father.

And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way ; and by night in a pil- lar of fire, to give them light ; to go by day and night. 22. He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people. Ex. 14:19. And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them ; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them : 24. And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, Ex. 16:10. And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud. Ex. 19:9. And the LORD said untO MOSes, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD. 16. And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceedingly loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. Ex. 24:16. And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the Seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 17. And the sight of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel. 18. And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount : and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights. Ex. 33:9. And it came to pass, as MOSes en- tered into the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and stood at the door of the tab- ernacle, and the LORD talked with MOSes. 10. And all the people saw the cloudy pillar stand at the tabernacle door; and all the people rose up and worshipped, every man in his tent door. Ex. 34:5. And the LORD descended in the (14) 209 CLOUD. cloud, and stood with him there, and pro- claimed the name of the LORD. Ex. 40:36. And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their journeys: 37. But if the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. 38. For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was On it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys. Lev. 16:2. And the LORD said unto MOSes, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he die not : for I will appearin the cloud upon the mercy Seat. Num. 9:15. And on the day that the taber- nacle was reared up the cloud covered the tab- ernacle, namely, the tent of the testimony: and at even there was upon the tabernacle as it were the appearance of fire, until the morning. 16. So it was alway : the cloud covered it by day, and the appearance Offire by night. 17. And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the chil- dren of Israel pitched their tents. 18. At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents. 19. And when the cloud tar- ried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not. 20. And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the command- ment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed. , 21. And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed. 22. Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the taber- nacle, remaining thereon, the children of Is- rael abode in their tents, and journeyed not : but when it was taken up, they journeyed. 23. At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the command- ment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at the com- mandment of the LORD by the hand of MOSes.

And they departed from the mount of the LORD three days’ journey : and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days’ journey, to search Out a resting place for them. 34. And the cloud of the LORD was upon them by day, when they went out of the camp. 35. And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be Scattered ; andlet them that hate thee flee before thee. 36. And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the many thousands of Israel. Numi. 11:25. And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease.

Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the Sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house. 2. And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the TORD had filled the LORD's house. 3. And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. Neh. 9:12. Moreover thou leddest them in the day by a cloudy pillar; and in the night 210 CLOUD. COLLECTION. by a pillar of fire, to give them light in the way wherein they should go. 19. Yet thou in thy manifold mercies for- Sookest them not in the wilderness: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to shew them light, and the way wherein they should go.

Then the glory of the LORD departed from off the threshold of the house, and stood Over the cherubims. 19. And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight : when they went out, the wheels also were beside them, and every one stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. Ezek. 11:22. Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, and the wheels beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above. 23.

That at what time ye hear the Sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up : 6.

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remis- sion. 23. It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. WHITE: SYMBOL OF HOLINESS.

And one of the elders answered, say- ing unto me, What are these which are ar- rayed in white robes? and whence came they 14. And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Rev. 15:6.

And thou shalt shew thy Son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt. 9. And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial betweenthine eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth : for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt. 10. Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his Season from year to year. Ex. 20:3. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, Or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, Or that is in the water under the earth: 5. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6. And shewing mercy unto thou- Sands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 7. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in Vall]. 8. Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy. 9. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10. But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, northy daughter, thy manservant, northy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stran- ger that is within thy gates: 11. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the Sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13. Thou shalt not kill. 14. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15. Thou shalt not steal. 16. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. 17. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidserv- ant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. Deut. 5:6–21. Deut. 4:5. Behold, I have taught you stat- utes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. 9. Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy Soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy Sons' Sons; 10. Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children. Deut. 6:4. Hear, O Israel: The LORD Our God is one LORD : 5. And thou shalt love the IORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7. And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walk- est by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, 215 COMMANDMENTS. and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. Deut. 11:18. Therefore shall yelay up these my words in your heart and in your Soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. 19. And ye shall teach them your chil- dren, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 20. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates: 21. That your days may be mul- tiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fa- thers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth. Deut. 32:46. And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I tes- tify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. 47. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. **. Josh. 8:30. Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in mount Ebal, 31. As Moses the servant of the LORD com- manded the children of Israel, as it is writ- ten in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, Over which no man hath lift up any iron : and they offered thereon burnt offerings unto the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings. 32. And he wrote there up- on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the chil- dren of Israel. 33. And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the Stranger, as he that was born among them: half of them. Over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the LORD had com- manded before, that they should bless the people of Israel. 34. And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and cursings, according to all that is written in the book of the law. 35. There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua read not before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers that were conversant among them. 2 Chr. 17:7. Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, . . . to teach in the cities of Judah. 8. And with them he sent Levites, . . . and with them. Elisha- ma and Jehoram, priests. 9. And they taught in Judah and had the book of the law of the TORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people. Neh. 8:2. And Ezra, the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and -——-i-...-- women, and all that could hear with under- standing, upon the first day of the seventh month. 3. And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could under. stand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law. 4. And Ezra the Scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; 5. And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people; (for he was above all the people;) and when he opened it, all the people stood up : 6. And Ezra, blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped the LORD with their faces to the ground. 7. Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Ja- min, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maa- Seiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Tevites, caused the people to understand the law : and the people stood in their place. 8. So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the Sense, and caused them to understand the reading. Psa. 78:1. Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2. I will open my mouth in a para- ble: I will utter dark sayings of old: 3. Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. 4. We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. 5. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: 6. That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: 7. That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his command- ments: Prov. 3:3. Let not mercy and truth for. Sake thee: bind them about thy neck.; write them upon the table of thine heart: 4. So shalt thou find favour and good understand- ing in the sight of God and man. Prov. 6:20. My Son, keep thy father's com- mandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother: 21. Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. Brov. 7:1. Myson, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. 2. Keep my commandments, and live; and my laws as the apple of thine eye. 3. Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. 4. Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman: Isa. 57:8. Behind the doors also and the postS hast thou set up thy remembrance: Jer, 11:4. I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of 216 COMMANDMENTS.—OF JESUS. the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, Saying, Obey my voice, and do them, ac- cording to all which I command you : SO º ye be my people, and I will be your OCl . Zech. 7.9. Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, Saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: 10. And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart. Zech. 8:16. These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: 17. And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, Saith the LORD. PRECEPTS OF JESUS. EXPLICITLY STAT- ED, OR IMPLIED IN DIDACTIC DISCOURSE: Matt. 5:16, Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 22. But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but who- soever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in dan- ger of hell fire. 23. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there remem- berest that thy brother hath aught against thee; 24. Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled ºy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 27. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28. But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her al- ready in his heart. 29. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck 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. 31. It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement : 32. But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adul- tery: and whosoevershall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. 33. Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine Oaths: 34. But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven ; for it is God's throne: 35. Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 36. -ms; Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, be- Cause thou canst not make one hair white Or black. 37. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. 38. Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth : 39. But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall Smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41. And whosoever shall com- pel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 43. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44. But I Say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and perse- cute you; 45. That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and On the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47. And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more that?, others 2 do not even the publi- cans so? 48. Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is per- fect. Duke 6:27–36. Matt. 6:1. Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them : Other- wise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2. Therefore when thou doest thºve alms, do not Sound a trump- et before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I Say unto you, They have their reward. , 3. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4. That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. - 6. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which Seeth in Se- cret shall reward thee openly. 7. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8. Be not ye therefore like unto them : for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 16. Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I Say untO YOll, They have their reward. 17. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; 18. That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is 217 COMMANDMENTS.—OF JESUS. in secret: and thy Father, which Seeth in secret, shall reward thee Openly. 19. Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth cor- rupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that dark- ness 24. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the One, and love the Other; or else he will hold to the One, and despise the other, Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 25. Therefore I Say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put On. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment 2 31. Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat 2 or, What shall we drink? Or, Where withal shall we be clothed ? 32. (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Eather knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33. But seek ye first the king- dom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34. Take therefore no thought for the morrow : for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Luke 12:12–31. Matt. 7:1. Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but con- siderest not the beam that is in thine own eye 2 4. Or why wilt thou say to thy broth- er, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye 2 5. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine Own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Luke 6:37–42. 6. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. 7. Ask, and it shall be given you ; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you : 8. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth ; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone Ž 10. Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent $ 11. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him ? 12. Therefore all things whatso- ever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them : for this is the law and the prophets. 13. Enter ye in at the Strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad Žs the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat : 14. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Duke 13:24. 15. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17. Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19. Every tree that bring- eth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21. Not every one that Saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works 2 23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24. Therefore whosoever heareth these Sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25. And the rain de- Scended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not : for it was founded upon a rock. 26. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be lik- ened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the Sand: 27. And the rain de- Scended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. 28. And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these say- ings, the people were astonished at his doc- trine: 29. For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. Matt. 16:24. Then said Jesus unto his dis- ciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Mark 8:34. Matt, 18:8. Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them. from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. 9. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it Out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. 10. Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven, 218 COMMANDMENTS.–OF JEsus, 15. Moreover if thy brother shall trespass Against thee, go and tell him his fault be- tween thee and him alone : if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church : but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. 21. Then came Peter to him, and Said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him 2 till Seven times? 22. Jesus saith unto him, I Say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until Seventy times seven. Matt. 19:16. And, behold, one came and Said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life 2 17. And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but One, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18. He saith unto him, Which 3 Jesus said, Thou shalt do no mur- der, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19. Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neigh- bour as thyself. Mark 10:17–22. Matt. 20:25. But Jesus called them ºnto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. 26. But it shall not be so among you : but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27. And who- soever will be chief among you, let him be your servant : 28. Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to min- ister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Matt. 22:34. But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to si- lence, they were gathered together. 35. Then One of them, which was a lawyer, asked him at question, tempting him, and saying, 36. Master, which is the great command- ment in the law Ż 37. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38. This is the first and great Commandment. 39. And the second is like untoit, Thou shalt love thyneighbour as thy- Self. 40. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Luke 10:28–37. Matt. 24:42. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be bro- ken up. 44. Therefore be ye also ready : for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 45. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season ? 46. Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49. And shall begin to Smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50. The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51. And shall cut him asunder, and appoint / ??), his por- tion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matt. 25:34. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in : 36. Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37. Then shall the righteous an- swer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee 3 or thirsty, and gave thee drink 2 38. When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in 2 or naked, and clothed thee 3' 39. Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40. And the King shall answer and Say unto them, Verily I Say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into ever- lasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43. I was a stranger, and ye took me not in : naked, and ye clothed me not : sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, Or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee ? 45. Then shall he answer them, saying, Ver- ily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Mark 6:7. And he called atm to him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two ; and gave them power over unclean spirits: |Matt. 10:5–42.] 8. And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no Scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: 9. But be shod with sandals; and not put On two coats. 10. And he said unto them, In what place SOever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye de- part from that place. 11. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tol- erable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Mark 9:35. And he sat down, and callel 2}9 COMMAND MENTS.—OF ST. PAUL, the twelve, and Saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. 38. And John answered him, saying, Mas- ter, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we for- bad him, because he followeth not us. 39. But Jesus said, Forbid him not : for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly Speak evil of me. 42. Whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. 43. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 44. Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 45. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: 46. Where their worm diethnot, and the fire is not quenched. 47. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is bet- ter for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: 48. Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. 49. For every one shall be salted with fire, and every Sacrifice shall be salted with salt. 50. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his Saltness, where with will ye season it 2 Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another. Mark 10:9. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 11. And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adul- tery. Mark 11:22. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. Mark 12:17. And Josus answering said unto them, Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. Matt. 22:21, Mark 13:33. Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34. For the Son of Trean is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 35. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, Or at the cockcrow- ing, or in the morning: 36. Lest coming Sud- denly he find you sleeping. 37. And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. Tuke 12:15. And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance jf the things which he possesseth. John 7:24. Judge not according to the ap- pearance, but judge righteous judgment. John 13:34. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love One an- other. 35. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love One to another. John 14:11. Believe me that I am in the Pather, and the Father in me: Or else be- lieve me for the very works' sake. 15. If ye love me, keep my command- ments. 23. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. John 15:2. Every branch in me that bear- eth not fruit, he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, . that it may bring forth more fruit. 4. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 7. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9. As the Father hath loved me, SO have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 11. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12. This is my commandment, That ye love one an- other, as I have loved you. 14. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 17. These things I command you, that ye love one another. 20. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have perse- cuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep your's also. 21. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's Sake, because they know not him that sent me. 22. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. See DECALOGUE; TABLES. PRECEPTS OF ST. PAUL, EXPLICITLY STATED OR IMPLIED IN DIDACTIC EPISTLES: Rom. 12:1. I beseech you therefore, breth- ren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, accept- able unto God, which is your reasonable Service. 2. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the re- newing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and per- fect, will of God. 3. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is 220 COMMANDMENTS. —OF ST. PAUL. wº- among you, not to think of himself more highly than he olight to think; but to think SOberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. 6. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7. Or ministry, let us wałł On Oºty' ministering: Or he that teach- eth, on teaching; 8. Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with dili- gence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheer- fulness. 9. Let love be without dissimula- tion. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love ; in honour preferring One another; 11. Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12. Re- joicing in hope; patient in tribulation; con- tinuing instant in prayer; 13. Distributing to the necessity of Saints; given to hospi- tality. 14. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but conde- Scend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your Own conceits. 17. Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18. If it be possible, as much as liethin you, live peaceably with all men. 19. Dearly beloved, avenge not your- Selves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will re- pay, saith the Lord. 20. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him ; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21. Be not over- come of evil, but overcome evil with good. Rom. 13:8. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt, not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thoushalt love thy neighbour asthyself. 10. Dove worketh no ill to his neighbour: there- fore love is the fulfilling of the law. , 11. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our Salvation nearer than when we believed. 12. The night is far spent, the day is at hand : let us therefore cast off the works of dark- ness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chamber- ing and wantonness, not in strife and envy- ing, 14. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to ful- fil the lusts thereof. Rom. 14:19. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. 20. For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. 21. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother Stumbleth, Or is offended, or is made weak. Rom. 15:1. We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please Ourselves. 2. Tet every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edifica- tion. 1 Cor. 8:1. Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowl- edge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 7. Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with con- Science of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their con- Science being weak is defiled. 8. But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better ; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 9. But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours be- come a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 10. For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's tem- ple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 11. And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother per- ish, for whom Christ died ? 12. But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 13. Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. 1 Cor. 10:7. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them ; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. 8. Neither let us commit forni- cation, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. 9. Neither let us tempt Christ, as Some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of Serpents. 10. Neither murmur ye, as Some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. 24. Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. 28. But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake : for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: 29. Conscience, I say, not thine Own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another many’s conscience? 31. Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32, Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: 1 Cor. 14:20. Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. 1 Cor. 16:13. Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong, 14. Let all your things be done with charity. 2 Cor. 137. Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; mot that we should appear approved, 22] COMMANDMENTS.—or St. Pam, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. Gal. 5:1. Stand fast therefore in the liberty where with Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 16. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. Gal. 6:1. Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the Spirit of meekness; con- sidering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2. Bear ye one another's burdens, and SO fulfil the law of Christ. Eph. 4:1. I therefore, the prisoner of the Iord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation where with ye are called. 2. With all lowliness and meekness, with long- suffering, forbearing one another in love; 3. Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 26. Beye angry, and sin not : let not the sun go down upon your wrath : 27. Neither give place to the devil. 28. Let him that stole steal no more : but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. - 29. Tet no corrupt communication pro- ceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30. And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of re- demption. - 31. Det all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil. Speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32. And be ye kind one to another, tender- hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Eph. 5:1. Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2. And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling Savour. 3. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh Saints; 4. Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient : but rather giv- ing of thanks. 5. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor cov- etous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 6. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of dis- obedience. 11. Have no fellowship with the unfruit- ; works of darkness, but rather reprove the 770. 15. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16. Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but un- derstanding what the will of the Lord is. 18. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19. Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and Spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Dord; 20. Giv- ing thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ ; ; 21. Submitting yourselves One to another in the fear of God. Eph. 6:10. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11. Put On the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 13. Wherefore, take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and hav- ing done all, to stand. 14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteous- ness; 15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, where- with ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17. And take the hel- met of Salvation, and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18. Pray- ing always with all prayer and supplica- tion in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all Saints; Phil. 1:27. Tet your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; 28. And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of per- º but to you of Salvation, and that of OCl. Phil. 2:2. Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3. Let nothing be dome through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4. Look not every man. On his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obe- dient unto death, even the death of the CI’OSS. 12. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but how much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling: 13. For it is God which work- eth in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 14. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15. That ye may be blame- less and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and per- 222 COMMANDMENTS.–OF ST. PAUL. verse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 16. Holding forth the word of life; Bhil. 4:4. Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I Say, Rejoice. 5. Let your moderation be known unto all men. (6. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. - 8. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are homest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good re- port; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Col. 2:6. As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: 16. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, Orin drink, Orin respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 20. Whereforeif ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordi- nances, 21. (Touch not ; taste not ; handle not ; 22. Which all are to perish with the using ;) after the commandments and doc- trines of men? 23. Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; #ºn any honour to the Satisfying of the €SIl. Col. 3:1. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2. Set your affection on things above, not On things On the earth. 5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 8. But now ye also put off all these ; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communi- cation out of your mouth. 9. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 12. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffer- ing; 13. Forbearing one another, and for- giving one another, if any man have a quar- rel against any : even as Christ forgave you, SO also do ye. 14. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfect- ness. 15. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and Spiritual Songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. 23. And whatsoever ye do, do it heart- ily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 1 Thess. 3:12. And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward an- Other, and toward all men, even as we do toward you. 1 TheSS. 4:1. Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye Ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. 3. For this is the will of God, even your Sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 5. Not in the lust of concupis- cence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: 6. That no man go beyond and de- fraud his brother in any matter: because that the TOrd is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 9. But as touching brotherly love yeneed not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. 10. And imdeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia, ; but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more; 11. And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; 12. That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. 1 Thess. 5:6. Therefore let us not sleep as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 8. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, put- ting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of Salvation. 12. And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you ; 13. And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among your- selves. 14. Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feeble- minded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. 15. See that none render evil for evil un- to any man, ; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all 772.627?). 16. Rejoice evermore. 17. Pray without ceasing. 18. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning yOu. 19. Quench not the Spirit. 20. Despise not prophesyings. 21. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22. Abstain from all appearance of evil. 2 Thess. 2:15. Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 2Thess. 3:6. Now we command you, breth- ren, in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every 223 COMMANDMENTS.—OF ST. PAUL. brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. 7. For yourselves know how ye ought to fol- low us: for we behaved not ourselves dis- orderly among you ; 8. Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought ; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you : 9. Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to fol- low us. 10. For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 11. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. 12. Now them that are such we command and exhort by Our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. 13. But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. 14. And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no com- pany with him, that he may be ashamed. 15. Yet count him not as an enemy, but ad- monish him as a brother. 1 Tim. 1:4. Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister ques- tions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. 1 Tim. 2:1. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, Supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2. For kings, and for all that are in author- ity ; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lift- ing up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 9. In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shame- facedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, Or pearls, or costly array; 10. But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 11. Tet the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 1 Tim. 3:2. A bishop then must be blame- less, the husband of one wife, vigilant, Sober, of good behaviour, given to hospital- ity, apt to teach ; 3. Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but pa- tient, not a brawler, not covetous ; 4. One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5. (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6. Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without ; lest he fall into reproach and the Snare of the devil. 8. Likewise mºst the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre ; 9. Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 10. And let these also first be proved ; theil let them use the office of a deacon, being foºd blameless. 11. Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderous, sober, faithful in all things. 12. Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 13. For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great bold- ness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 1 Tim. 4:1. Now the Spirit speaketh ex- pressly, that in the latter times Some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to Sedul- cing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2. Speak- ing lies in hypocrisy; having their con- Science Seared with a hot iron; 3. Forbid- ding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5. For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 6. If thou put the brethren in remem- brance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, where- unto thou hast attained. 7. But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 12. Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in Spirit, in faith, in purity. 13. Till I come, give attendance to read- ing, to exhortation, to doctrine. 14. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 15. Meditate upon these things; give thy- Self wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 16. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them : for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee. 1 Tim. 5:1. Rebuke not an elder, but in- treat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren: 2. The elder women as moth- ers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. 3. Honour widows that are widows in- deed. 4. But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. 5. Now she that is a widow indeed, and deso- late, trusteth in God, and continuethin sup- plications and prayers night and day. 6. But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. 7. And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless. 8. But if any provide not for his own, and Specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. 9. Tet not a widow be taken into the num- 224 COMMANDMENTS.—-OF ST. PAUL. ber under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man. 10. Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the Saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. 11. But the younger widows refuse : for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry ; 12. Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. 13. And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busy- bodies, speaking things which they ought not. 14. Iwill therefore that the younger wom- en marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 16. If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed. 17. Let the elders that rule well be count- ed worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. 18. IFor the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muz- zle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. 19. Against an elder receive not an accu- sation, but before two or three witnesses. 20. Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 21. I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality. 1 Tim. 6:11. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 12. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 13. I give thee charge in the sight of God, 14. That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of Our Lord Jesus Christ : 17. Charge them that are richin this world, that they be not highminded, nortrust in un- certain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18. That they do good, that they be richingoodworks, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19. Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 20. O Timothy, keep that which is com- mitted to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of Science falsely so called: 2 Tim. 1:13. Hold fast the form of SOund words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 14. That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwellethinus. 2 Tim. 2:19. Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 22. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 24. And the Servant of the Tord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25. In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God perad- venture will give them repentance to the ac- knowledging of the truth; 2Tim. 3:2. For men shall be lovers of their Own Selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blas- phemers, disobedient to parents, unthank- ful, unholy, 3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleas- ures more than lovers of God; 5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. Tit. 1:5. For this cause left Ithee in Crete, that thou shouldest Set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: 6. If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or un- ruly. 7. For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8. But a lover of hos- pitality, a lover of good men, Sober, just, holy, temperate; 9. Holding fast the faith- ful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. 10. For there are many unruly and vain talkers and de- ceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 11. Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. 12. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. 13. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 14. Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. Tit. 2:2. That the aged men be Sober, grave, temperate, Sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 3. The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4. That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5. To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to theirown husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. 9. Eachort servantsto be obedient untotheir own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; 10. Not pur- loining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God Our Saviour in all things. 11. For the grace of God that bringeth Sal- vation hath appeared to all men. 12.

Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magis- trates, to be ready to every good work. 2. To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all IY) 62.1]. 8. This is a faithfulsaying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be care- ful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. Heb. 6:1. Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 11. And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12. That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the prom- ISéS. Heb. 10:22. Tet us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having Our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised:) 24. And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25. Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of Some is ; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching, Heb. 12:1. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with SO great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth SO easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3. For consider him that endured such contradic- tion of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 4. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. 5. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him : 12. Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; 13. And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. 14. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord : 15. Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16. Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. -º-º- Pieb. 13:1. Let brotherly love continue. 2. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels ll Ila, Wal’éS. 3. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer ad- versity, as being yourselves also in the body. 5. Let your conversation be without covet- ousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 7. Remember them which have the rule Over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, consider- ing the end of their conversation. 9. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a goodthing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. 15. By him therefore let us offer the sacri- fice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. 16. But to do good and to communicate forget not : for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 17. Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. OTHER APOSTLES: PRECEPTS OF, Ex- PLICITLY STATED OR IMPLIED IN DIDACTIC EPISTLES. Jas. 1:16. Do not err, my be- loved brethren. 19. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 21. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your Souls. 22. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. Jas. 2:1. My brethren, have not the faith, of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2. For if there come. unto your assembly a man with a goldring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a. poor man in vile raiment ; 3. And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay cloth- ing, and Say unto him, Sit thou here in a, good place; and Say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 4. Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? - 8. If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9. But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are: convinced of the law as transgressors. 10. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12. SO Speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. 226 COMMANDMENTS.–OTHER APOSTLES. Jas. 3:1. My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. Jas. 4:7. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from Oll. y 8. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sin- ners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep : let your laughter be turned to mourning, and g/our joy to heaviness. 10. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. 11. Speak not evil one of another, breth- ren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law : but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 13. Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and con- tinue there a year, and buy and sell, and get aim : 14. Whereas ye know not what shall e on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 15. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. Jas. 5:7. Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 9. Grudge not one against another, breth- ren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. 10. Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suf- fering affliction, and of patience. 11. Be- hold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord ; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. 12. But above all things, my brethren, Swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea, be yea; and your nay, may ; lest ye fall into condemnation. 16. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. 1 Pet. 1:13. Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ ; 14. As obedient children, not fashioning your- selves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 15. But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation ; 16. Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. 17. And if ye call On the Father, who without respect of per- Sons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 1 Pet. 2:11. Dearly beloved, I beseech you as Strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 12. Having your conversation honest among the , Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by you?' good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. 13. Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; 14. Or unto gov- ernors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. 15. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 16. As free, and not using your lib- erty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the Servants of God. 17. Honour all men. Tove the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. 18. Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gen- tle, , but also to the froward. 19. For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrong- fully. .. 20. For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently 7 but if, when ye do well, and suf- fer for it, ye take it patiently, this is ac- ceptable with God. 21. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth : 23. Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not ; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 24. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto right- eousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 25. For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. 1 Pet. 3:8. Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion One of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9. Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for rail- ing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 10. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile. , 11. Let him eschew evil, and do good ; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. 15. But Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an an- swer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 16. Having a good conscience; 227 COMMANDMENTS.–OTHER APOSTLES. that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. 17. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. ifet. 4:1. Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 2. That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will Of God. 3. For the time past of our life may suf- fice us to have wrought the will of the Gen- tiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquet- ings, and abominable idolatries: 4. Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you : 5. Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. 6. For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit. 7. But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer. 8. And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall Cover the multitude of sins. 9. Use hospitality one to another without grudging. 10. As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 11. If any man Speak, let him speak as the Oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giv- eth : that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 12. Beloved, think it not strange concern- ing the fiery trial which is to try you, as though Some Strange thing happened unto you: , 13. But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 14. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil Spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 15. But let none of you suffer as a mur- derer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. 16. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed ; but let him glorify GOd. On this behalf. 1 Pet. 5:1. The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be re- vealed : 2. Feed the flock Of God which is among you, taking the Oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind. 3. Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but be- ing ensamples to the flock. 5. Likewise, ye younger, submit your- Selves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be Subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7. Casting all your care upon him ; for he careth for you. 8. Be Sober, be vigilant; because your ad- versary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9. Whom resist stedfast in the faith, know- ing that the Same afflictions are accom- plished in your brethren that are in the world. - 2 Pet. 1:5. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6. And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7. And to god- liness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 10. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election . for if ye do these things, yeshall never all : 2 Pet. 3:14. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without Spot, and blameless. 18. But grow in grace, and in the knowl- edge of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 1 John 2:15. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 28. And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have Confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 1 John 3:10. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 11. For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked One, and slew his brother. And Wherefore slew he him ? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's right- €OUIS. 13. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 14. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the breth- ren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 15. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no mur- derer hath eternal life abiding in him. 16. Hereby perceive we the love of God, be- Cause he laid down his life for us: and we Ought to lay down our lives for the breth- I’OI). 17. But whoso hath this world's good, and 228 COMMANDMENTS.—OF MEN. Seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him ? 18. My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 20. For if Our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and know- eth all things. 21. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. 22. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 23. And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love One another, as he gave us commandment. 1 John 4:1. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 7. Beloved, let us love one another : for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born Of God, and knoweth God. 8. He that ºth not knoweth not God; for God is OVe. 11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love One another. 12. If we love One another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 15. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16. And we have known-and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 21. And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. 1 John 5:21. Iittle children, keep your- Selves from idols. 2 John 5. And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. 6. And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the command- ment, That, as ye have heard from the be- ginning, ye should walk in it. 3 John 11. Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doethgood is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. Jude 3. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly Contend for the faith which was Once de- livered unto the Saints. 4. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of Old Ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of Our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and Our Lord Jesus Christ. Tº saw 20. But ye, beloved, building up your- selves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21. Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of Our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. 22. And of Some have compassion, mak- ing a difference: 23. And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Rev. 3:11. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 18. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich ; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest See. 19. As many as Ilove, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Rev. 22:17. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth Say, Come. And let him that is athirst COme. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Wherefore the LOrd said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Matt. 15:2. Why do thy disciples trans- gress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the command- ment of God by your tradition ? 4. For God commanded, saying, Honourthy father and mother: and, He that curseth father Or mother, let him die the death. 5. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6. And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the command- ment of God of none effect by your tradi- tion. 7. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, 8. This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 10. And he called the multitude, and said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11. Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. 12. Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Phari- sees were offended, after they heard this saying? - 13. But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. 14. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, ** g. 229 COMMAND MENTS.–OF MEN. COMMISSARY. both shall fall into the ditch. 15. Then an- swered Peter and said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 16. And Jesus Said, Are ye also yet without understanding’ 17. Do not ye yet understand, that what- soever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught 2 18. But those things which pro- ceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20. These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. Mark 7:2–23. Rom. 14:1. Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 2. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3. Det not him that eateth despise him that exteth not ; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath re- ceived him. 4. Who art thou that judgest another man's Servant 2 to his own master he standeth Or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up : for God is able to make him stand. 5. One man esteemeth One day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 10. But why dost thou judge thy brother? Or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11. For it is written, As I live, Saith the TIOrd, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 13. Det us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. 14. I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15. But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walk- est thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 16. Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18. For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 19. Tet us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things where with one may edify another. 20. For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. 21. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is of fended, or is made weak. 22. Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. 23. And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eatet/, not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. 1 Tim. 4:1. Now the Spirit speaketh ex- pressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to sedu- cing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2. Speaking liesin hypocrisy; having their con- science seared with a hot iron, 3. Forbid- ding to marry, and com/vanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. COMMERCE.

For we being many are one bread, and One body: for we are all partakers of that One bread. 1 Cor. 12:12. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: SO also is Christ. 13. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 2 Cor. 6:14.

And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45. And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. Acts 4:32. And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of One Soul: neither said any of them that Ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. 34. Neither 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 sold, 35. And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. 36. And Joses, who by the apos- tles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, be- ing interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, 37. Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet. Acts 5:1. But a certain man named Ana- nias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a posses- sion, 2. And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 3. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land 3 4. Whiles it remained, was it not thine own 2 and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart 2 thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5. And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost : and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 6. And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried hºm out, and buried him. 7. And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 8. And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much 3 And she said, Yea, for so much. 9. Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee Out. 10. Then fell she down straight- way at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men game in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. COMPANY, EVIL: Gen. 19:15.

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: Isa. 5:21. Woe unto them that are wise in º Own eyes, and prudent in their own sight ! Jer. 9:23. Thus saith the LORD, ILet not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: Iſuke 18:11.

What is man, that thou art mindful of him 3 and the son of man, that thou visitest him 3 5. For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet : PSa. 113:5. our God, who dwelleth on high, Who is like unto the LORD 6. Who 235 CONDESCENSION OF GOi). CONFESSION.—OF CHRIST. humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth ! Psa. 144:3. LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him or the Son of man, that thou makest account of him Isa. 45:11. Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my Sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. John 3:16. For God SO loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not per- ish, but have everlasting life. Rom. 5:8. But GOd commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sin- ners, Christ died for us. Heb. 2:11. For both he that Sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one : for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Heb. 6:17. Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of prom- ise the immutability of his counsel, con- firmed it by an oath: 18. That by two im- mutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong con- solation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 1 John 4:10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 19. We love him, because he first loved us. - CONDOLEN CE.

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name 3 and in thy name have cast out devils and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you : depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matt. 10:32. Whosoever therefore shall Confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Luke 12:8. John 1:15. John bare witness of him, and Cried, saying, This was he of whom Ispake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me : for he was before me. 16. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17. For the law was given by MOSes, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 18. No man hath seen God at any time; the Only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. Matt. 3:11. - John 9:22. These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. 23. Therefore said his parents, He is of age ; ask him. 24. Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. 25. He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not : one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I See. 26. Then said they to him again, What did he to thee ? how opened he thine eyes } 27. He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again } will ye also be his disciples' 28. Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples. 29. We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is. 30. The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and get he hath opened mine eyes. 31. Now we know that God heareth not sinners : but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. 32. Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. 33. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. 34. They answered and Said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. 35. Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, DOst thou believe On the Son of God? 36. He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him 2 37. And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 38. And he º Lord, I believe. And he worshipped lil]]. John 12:42. Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but be- cause of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the syna- gogue: 43. For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. Acts 8:35. Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. 36. And as they went on their way, they came unto a cer- tain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water ; what doth hinder me to be bap- tized ? 37. And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Acts 18:5. And when Silas and Timotheus 236 CONFESSION. CONFIDENCE. FALSE. were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. Acts 19:4. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should be- lieve on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 5. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name Of the Lord Jesus. ROm. 10:9. That if thou shalt Confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11. For the scripture saith, Who- soever believethon him shall not beashamed. 1 Cor. 12:3. Wherefore I give you to un- derstand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 1 John 1:6. If we say that we have fellow- ship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 1 John 2:4. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1 John 4:2. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3. And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not Of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. - 15.

We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement ; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under false- hood have we hid Ourselves: 18. Your Covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing Scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. Isa. 30:1. Woe to the rebellious children, saith the TORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: 2. That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth ; 5. They were all ashamed of a people that could not profit them, nor be an help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach. 7. For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concern- ing this, Their strength is to sit still: Isa.20:5. 10. Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, proph- esy deceits: 15. For thus Saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not. 16. But ye said, No ; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift. Isa. 31:1. Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help ; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many : and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One Of Israel, neither seek the LORD ! 3. Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail to- gether. Isa. 477. And thou saidst, I shall be à lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remem- ber the latter end of it. 8. Therefore hear now this, thoºd that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that Sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: 10. Thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; Isa. 56:12. Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant. Isa. 57:13.

And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, be- cause they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel. 7. When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou breakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand. Ezek. 30:8. And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed. Hos. 5:13. Then went Ephraim to the As- Syrian, and sent to king Jareb : yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound. Hos. 7.9.

The pride of thine heart hath de- ceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? Mic. 3:11. The heads thereof judge for re- ward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can COme upon us. Zeph. 1:12. And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with Candles, and punish the men that are settled On their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil. Zeph. 2:15.

I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20. But God said unto him, Thou #. this night thy soul shall be required of thee: Luke 17:26. And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in mar- riage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28. Dikewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they build- ed; 29. But the same day that Lot went out Of SOdom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. Luke 18:9. And he spake this parable unto Certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10. Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, un- just, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much 239 CONFIDENCE.—FALSE.

For that ye ought to Say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. Rev. 18:7. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much tor- ment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no Sorrow. 8. Therefore shall her plagues come in One day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. See BLINDNESS, SPIRITUAL: CONCEIT.

A dreadful Sound is in his ears: in prosperity the de- stroyer shall come upon him. 24. Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle. Job 27:6. My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go : my heart shall not reproach me SO long as I live. Prov. 20:12. The hearing ear, and the see- ing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them. Matt. 6:22. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness | Luke 11:33. No man, when he hath lighted a Candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they, which come in may see the light. |Matt. 5:15,16.] 34. The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when th?ne eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. [Matt. 6:22.] 35. Take heed there- fore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. 36. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the hº Shining of a candle doth give thee Ighl. ActS. 23:1. And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. Acts 24:16. And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of Offence toward God, and toward Iſlell. Rom. 2:14. When the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things con- tained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15. Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and 240 CONSCIENCE. their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another; IRom. 7:15. For that which I do I allow not : for what I would, that do I not ; but what I hate, that do I. 16. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing : for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19. For the good that I would I do not : but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23. But I See another law in my members, war- ring against the law of my mind, and bring- ing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. Rom. 9:1. I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, Rom. 14:1. Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, bºtt not to doubtful disputations. 2. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not ; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth : for God hath received him. 4. Who art thou that judg- est another man's servant ? to his own mas- ter he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up : for God is able to make him stand. 5. One man esteemeth One day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Det every man be fully per- suaded in his own mind. 6. He that re- gardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord: and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eatethnot, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 7. For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. 8. For whether we live, we live unto the T.Ord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord : whether we live therefore, Or die, we are the Lord's. 9. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 10. But why dost thou judge thy brother? Or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 13. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. 14. I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15. Dut if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 16. Let not then your good be evil spoken of ; 17. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18. For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 19. Let us therefore fol- low after the things which make for peace, and things where with One may edify an- other. 20. For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it Žs evil for that man who eateth with offence. 21. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22. Hast thou faith ? have it to thy- self before God. Happy is he that condemn- eth not himself in that thing which he al- loweth. 23. And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is SII). 1 Cor. 8:7. Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with con- Science of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their con- science being weak is defiled. 9. But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 10. For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 11. And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 12. But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 13. Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. 1 Cor. 10:27. If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be dispoſed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, ask- ing no question for conscience sake. 28. But if any man say unto you, This is offered in Sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his Sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake : for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: 29. Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience 3 30. For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks & 31. Whether therefore ye eat, Or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32. Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church Of God: * 2 Cor. 1:12. For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in Sim- plicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have (16) 241 CONSCIENCE.-FAITH FUL–GUILTY. had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. 2 Cor. 4:2. But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craft- iness, nor handling the word of God deceit:- fully ; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's con- science in the sight of God. • - 2 Cor. 5:11. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. 1 Tim. 1:5. Now the end of the command- ment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned : 19. Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 1 Tim. 3:9. Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. Heb. 9:14. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Heb. 10:22. Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having Our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Heb. 13:18. Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live homestly. 1 Pet. 2:19. For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 1 Pet. 3:16. Having a good conscience ; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. 21. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now Save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resur- rection of Jesus Christ : 1 John 3:20. If our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my Salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. - Psa. 73:21. Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. Prov. 28:1. The wicked flee when no man pursueth : but the righteous are bold as a lion. Isa. 59:9. Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness. 10. We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desO- late places as dead men. 11. We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none ; for Salvation, but it is far off from us. 12. For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for Our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them : 13. In trans- gressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and utter- ing from the heart words of falsehood. 14. And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off : for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Matt. 27:3. Then Judas, which had be- trayed him, when he saw that he was con- demned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4.

And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself. Mark 6:14.

They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. 3. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. Rom. 1:21. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and Creeping things. 24. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25. Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Eph. 4:17.

Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 16.

This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them; 9. That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maid- servant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother. 10. Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his manservant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more; then they obeyed, and let them go. 11. But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for hand- maids. - Dan. 6:12. Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's de- Cree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. 13. Then an- swered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the cap- tivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day. 14. Then the king, when he heard these words, was SOre displeased with himself, and set / is heart on Daniel to deliver him ; and he la- boured till the going down of the sun to de- liver him. 15. Then these men assembled unto the king, and Said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Per- sians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.

There be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom Of heaven's sake. Rom. 13:13. Let us walk honestly, as in the day: not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in Strife and envying. 1 Cor. 7:1. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2. Neverthe- less, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 3. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 4. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. 5. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. 6. But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. 7. For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and an- other after that. 8. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 9. But if they can- not contain, let them marry : for it is better to marry than to burn. 25. Now concerning Virgins I have no commandment of the Lord : yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. 26. I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that it is good for a man So to be. 27. Art thou bound unto a wife 2 seek not to be loosed. Art, thou loosed from a wife? Seek not a wife. 28. But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless Such shall have trouble in the flesh : but I spare you. . 29. But this I say, brethren, the the time is short : it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; 36. But if any man think that he be- haveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need SO require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not : let them marry. 37. Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power Over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. 38. So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in mar- riage doeth better. 1 Cor. 9:27. But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. Col. 3:5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, un- cleanness, inordinate affection, evil concu- piscence. 1 Tim.4:12. Tet no man despise thy youth ; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in Spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Tim. 5:1. Rebuke not an elder, but in- treat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; 2. The elder women as moth- ers the younger as sisters, with all purity. Bev. 14:1. And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 4. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whitherso- ever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. See CHASTITY.

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire la- bourers into his vineyard. 2. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3. And he went out about the third hour, and Saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4. And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 5. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. 6. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found oth- ers standing idle, and Saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle % 7. They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. S. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his stew- ard, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. 9. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 10. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have re- ceived more; and they likewise received every man a penny. 11. And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, 12. Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. 13. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny ? 14. Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. 15. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own & Is thine eye evil, because I am good? 16.

Job 40:4. Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. 5. Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. Psa. 31:10. My life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed. Psa. 38:1. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot dis- pleasure. 2. For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me Sore. 3. There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. 4. For mine iniquities are gone Over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 5. My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. 6. I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. 7. For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease : and there is no sound- ness in my flesh. 8. I am feeble and Sore broken: I have roared by reason of the dis- quietness of my heart. 9. Lord, all my de- sire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee. 10. My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. 11. My lov- ers and my friends stand aloof from my Sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. 12. They also that seek after my life lay snares for ºne : and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long. 13. But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and I was as a dumb man that Openeth not his mouth. 14. Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs. 15. For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God. 16. For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they See CON VICTION. should rejoice over me: when my foot slip- peth, they magnify themselves against me. 17. For I am ready to halt, and my Sorrow is continually before me. 18. For I will de- clare mime iniquity; I will be sorry for my Sin. 19. But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. 20. They also that render evil for good are mine adversa- ries; because Ifollow the thing that good is. 21. Forsake me not, O LORD : O my God, be not far from me. 22. Make haste to help me, O Lord my Salvation. - Psa. 51:1. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4. Against thee, thee Only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speak- est, and be clear when thou judgest. 7. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean : wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may re- joice. 9. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12. Restore unto me the joy of thy Salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13. Then will I teach transgress- ors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 14. Deliver me from blood- guiltiness, O God, thou God of my salva- tion: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 15. O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16. For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Isa. 6:5. Woe is me! for I am undone; be- cause I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Lam. 1:20. Behold, O LORD ; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled; mineheart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled : Ezek. 7:16. But they that escape of them shall escape, and shall be on the moun- tains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity. 17. All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water. 18. They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall Cover them ; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads. 25. They shall seek peace, and there shall be none. 26. Mischief shall come upon mis- chief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; 250 CONVICTION.—OF SIN–INSTANCES OF-FROM GOD. then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients. Ezek. 33:10. Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; thus ye speak, saying, If Our transgressions and Our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? Mic. 7:17. They shall lick the dust like a Serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD Our God, and shall fear because of thee. Luke 5:8. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. Acts 2:37. Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Acts 9:6. He trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do 2 Acts 16:29. He called for alight, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down be- fore Paul and Silas, 30. And brought them Out, and Said, Sirs, what must I do to be Saved ? Rom. 2:15. Which shew the work Of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing One another; 1 Cor. 14:24. If all prophesy, and there come in One that believeth not, or 072e un- learned, he is convinced of all, he is judged Of all: 25.

In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; 16. Then he openeth the ears of men, and Sealeth their instruction, 17. That he may withdraw man from his pur- pose, and hide pride from man. 18. He keepeth back his Soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. 19. He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain. 20. So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. 21. His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out. 22. Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. 23. If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: 24. Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. 25. His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth : 26. He shall pray unto God, and he will be fa- vourable unto him : and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness. 27. He looketh upon men, and ºf any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not ; 28. He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. 29. LO, all these things worketh God often- times with man, 30. To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living. John 6:44. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him : and I will raise him up at the last day. 45. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. John 16:7. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away : for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9. Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10. Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11. Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. Acts 16:14. And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thya- tira, which worshipped God, heard us : whose heart the Lord opened, that she at- tended unto the things which were spoken Of Paul. 251 CON VICTION.

Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD ; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel. 4. LORD, when thou wentest Out of Seir, when thou marchedst Out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water. 5. The mountains melted from before the LORD, even that Sinai from |before the LORD God of Israel. 6. In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through by ways. 7. The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel. 8. They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel ? 9. heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD. 10. Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judg- ment, and walk by the way. 11. They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates. 12. Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a song: arise, Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou Son of Abinoam. 13. Then he made him that remainleth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty. 14. Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people; out of Machir came down govern- Ors, and Out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer. 15. And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah ; even Issachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart. 16. Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks 3 For the divisions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart. 17. Gilead abode beyond Jordan ; and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher con- tinued on the Sea shore, and abode in his breaches. 18. Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field. 19. The kings came and fought, then fought the kings of Canaan in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo ; they took no gain of money. 20. They fought from heaven ; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera. 21. The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my Soul, thou hast trodden down strength. 22. Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty Ones. 23. Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty. 24. Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be; blessed shall she be above women in the tent. 25. He asked water, and she gave him milk; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish. 26. She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workman's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his temples. 27. At her feet he bowed, he fell, he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead. 28. The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming 2 why tarry the wheels of his chariots? 29. Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to My herself, 30. Have they not sped ? have they not divided the prey ; to every man a 253, COUNTRY. —LOVE OF. damsel or two ; to Sisera, a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needle- work, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them that take the spoil? 31. So let all thine enemies perish, O LORD : but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years. 2 Sam. 10:12. Be of good courage, and let us play the men for Our people, and for the cities of Our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good. Neh. 1:1. The words of Nehemiah the Son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, 2. That Hanani, One of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concern- ing the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jeru- Salem. 3. And they said unto me, The rem- nant that are left of the captivity there in the province are a great affliction and re- proach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken ºn and the gates thereof are burned with I'é. 4. And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven, 5. And Said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth Covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments: 6. Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes Open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned. 7. We have dealt very cor- ruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy Servant Moses. 8. Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy Servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations: 9. But ºf ye turn unto me, and keep my Commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there. 10. Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, and by thy strong hand. 11. O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy serv- ant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer. Neh. 2:1. And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence. 2. Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, Seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but Sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid, 3. And Said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my countenance be Sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' Sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire ? 4. Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request ? So I prayed to the God of heaven. 5. And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build it. 6. And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be 2 and when wilt thou return ? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time. 7. Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me overtill I come into Judah; 8. And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me. 9. Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horse- men with me. 10. When Sanballat the Hor- Onite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammon- ite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek the wel- fare of the children of Israel. 11. So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days. 12. And Iarose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jeru- salem : neither was there any beast with me, Save the beast that Irode upon. 13. And I went out by night by the gate of the val- ley, even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusa- lem, which were broken down, and the gates thereof were consumed with fire. 14. Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king's pool : but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass. 15. Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned. 16. And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did ; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work. 17. Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, 254 . COUNTRY. —LOVE OF. COURAGE. that we be no more a reproach. 18. Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work. 19. But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and Said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king? 20. Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem. Chap- ters 3–6. Neh. 5:1. And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews. 2. For there were that said, We, our sons, and Our daughters, are many : therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live. 3. Some also there were that said, 'We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. 4. There were also that said, 'We have bor- rowed money for the king's tribute, and that apon our lands and vineyards. 5. Yet now Our flesh is as the flesh of Our brethren, Our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and Our daughters to be servants, and some of Our daughters are brought unto bondage already :: neither is Žt in our power to redeem them ; for other men have our lands and vineyards. 6. And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words. 7. Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them. 8. And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed Our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen ; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found noth- ing to answer. 9. Also I said, It is not good that ye do: Ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies? 10. I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury. 11. Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them. 12. Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou say- est. Then I called the priests, and took an Oath of them, that they should do according to this promise. 13. Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that per- formeth not this promise, even thus be he Shaken out, and emptied. And all the con- gregation said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise. 14. Moreover from the time that I was ap- pointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my breth- ren have not eaten the bread of the governor. 15. But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, be- side forty shekels of silver; yea, even their Servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God. 16. Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work. 17. Moreover there were at my table an hundred and fifty of the Jews and rulers, beside those that came unto us from among the heathen that are about us. 18. Now that which was prepared for me daily was one ox and six choice sheep ; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people. :* Psa. 137:1. By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we re- membered Zion. 2. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3.

And the chief priests and all the Council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death ; and found none. 56. For many barefalse witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. 57. And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, 58. We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. 59. But neither so did their witness agree together. 60. “And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what Žs it which these witness against thee? 61. But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? ...62. And Jesus said, I am; and ye Shall see the Son of man sitting on the right (17) - - hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 63. Then the high priest rent his clothes, and Saith, What need we any further witnesses? 64. Yehave heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. 65.

Go, stand and speakin the temple to the people all the words of this life. 21. And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the Senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. 25. Then came One and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. 26. Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned. 27. And when they had brought them, they set them before the council; and the high priest asked them, 28. Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teachin this name? and, behold, yebavefilled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us. 34. Then stood there up One in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and com- manded to putthe apostlesforth alittle space; 38.

But if it be of God, ye cannot Overthrow it ; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. 40. And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speakin the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41.

Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false wit- ness against Jesus, to put him to death : 60. But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses, 61. And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. 62. And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is if aphie/, these witness against thee ? Matt.27:18. For he knew that for envy they had delivered him. [Mark 15:10.] 19. When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou noth- 259 ()() URT.—ACUUSED SpokE IN III3 OWN TYEFENSE. ing to do with that just man : for I have suf- fered many things this day in a dream be- cause of him. 20. But the Chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus. 21. The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas. 22. Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ' They all Say unto him, Let him be crucified. 23. And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done Ž But they cried out the more, Saying, Let him be crucified. 24. When Pilate Saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tu- mult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, Saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just perSOn : see ye to it. 25. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us and on Our chil- dren. 26. Then released he Barabbas unto them : and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. Mark 14:53. And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. 55. And the chief priests and all the Council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death ; and found none. 56. For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. 57. And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, 58. We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. 59. But neither SO did their witness agree together. 60. And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing 2 what Žs it aphic/º these witness against thee? 61. But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and Said unto him, Art, thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed ? 62. And Jesus Said, I am : and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 63. Then the high priest rent his clothes, and said, What need we any further witnesses? 64. Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye 2 And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. 65. And Some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy ; and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands. Acts 4:15. But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they con- ferred among themselves, 16. Saying, What shall we do to these men ? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it. 17. But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. 18. And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. Acts 6:11. Then they suborned men, which said, 'We have heard him speak blasphe- mous words against Moses, and ((g/t), St God. 12. And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought / 110 to the council, 13. And set up false Witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to Speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law : 14. For we have heard him Say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us. Acts 24:26. He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him : wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him. 27. But after two years Porcius Festus came into Felix' room ; and Felix, willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound. See BRIBERY: JUDGE: JUSTICE. ACCUSED SPÖ KE IN HHS OWN DE- FENSE: Jer. 26:11. Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy to die; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears. 12. Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD Sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard. 13. Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you. 14. As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you. 15. But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall Surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath Sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears. 16. Then said the princes and all the people unto the priests and to the prophets; This man is not worthy to die: for he hath spoken to us in the name of the TORD Our God, Mark 15:3. And the chief priests accused him of many things: but he answered moth- ing. 4. And Pilate asked him again, Saying, Answerest thou nothing? behold how many things they witness against thee. 5. But Jesus yet answered nothing; so that Pilate marvelled. Acts 4:8. Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, 9. If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; 10. Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye cruci- fied, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 11. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 12. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none 260 COURT.—ACCUSED SPOKE IN HIS OWN DEFENSE. other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 18. And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 19. But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. 20. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. Acts 5:29. Then Peter and the other apos- tles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men. 30. The God of Our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a troc. 31. Him hath God ex- alted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 32. And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. Acts 7:1. Then said the high priest, Are these things so 2 2. And he [Stephen] said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken : The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, 3. And said unto him, Get thee Out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee. 4. Then came he Out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell. 5. And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so yºtch as to set his foot on : yet he promised that he would give it to him for a posses- sion, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child. 6. And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years. 7. And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place. 8. And he gave him the covenant of circumcision : and SO Abraham begat Isaac, and circum- cised him the eighth day; and Isaac begant Jacob ; and Jacob begat the twelve patri- archs. 9. And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, 10. And delivered him. Out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house. 11. Now there came a dearth over all the land of Egypt and Cha- naan, and great affliction: and our fathers found no sustenance. 12. But when Jacob heard that there was corn in Egypt, he sent Out Our fathers first. 13. And at the second t????e Joseph was made known to his breth- ren; and Joseph's kindred was made known unto Pharaoh. 14. Then sent Joseph, and called his father Jacob to / 7,77, and all his kindred, throescore and fifteen Souls. 15. So Jacob went down into Egypt, and died, he, and Our fathers, 16. And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in the sepulchre that Abraham bought for a sum of money of the Sons of Emmor, the father of Sychem. 17. But when the time of the promise drew nigh, which God had sworn to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt, 18. Till another king arose, which knew not Joseph. 19. The same dealt subtilly with our kindred, and evil entreated our fathers, so that they cast out their young children, to the end they might not live. 20. In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months: 21. And when he was cast Out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and nourished him for her own son. 22. And MOSes was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. 23. And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his breth- ren the children of Israel. 24. And seeing One of f/he//, suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him that was oppressed, and Smote the Egyptian: 25. For he supposed his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliver them : but they understood not. 26. And the next day he shewed himself unto them as they strove, and would have set them at One again, saying, Sirs, ye are brethren; why do ye wr, ng one to another? 27. But he that did his neighbour wrong thrust him away, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge Over us? 28. Wilt thou kill me, as thou diddest the Egyptian yesterday ? 29. Then fled Moses at this saying, and was a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat two sons. 30. And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sina an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush. 31. When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Tord came unto him, 32. Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. Then Moses trembled, and durst not behold. 33. Then said the Lord to him, Put off thy shoes from thy feet : for the place where thou standest is holy ground. 34. I have seen, I have seen the affliction of my people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt. 35. This Moses whom they refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush. 36. He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wil- derness forty years. 37. This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. 38. This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the an- gel which spake to him in the mount Sina, 24; 1 COURT.—A cºcrish.D SPOKE IN IIIs Own DEFENSE. and ºpi// Our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us: 39. To whom our fathers would not obey, but thrust /º/, from them, and in their hearts turned back again into Egypt, 40. Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: for as for this Moses, which brought us Out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 41. And they made a calf in those days, and offered sacrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their own hands. 42. Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and Sac- rifices by the space of forty years in the wil- derness? 43. Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Rem- phan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon. 44. Our fathers had the taber- nacle of witness in the wilderness, as he had appointed, speaking unto MOSes, that he should make it according to the fashion that he had seen. 45. Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David; 46. Who found fa- vour before God, and desired to find a tab- ernacle for the God of Jacob. 47. But Solo- mon built him an house. 48. Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as Saith the prophet, 49. Heav- en is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house willye build me? Saith the Lord : or what is the place of my rest ? 50. Hath not my hand made all these things? 51. Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. 52. Which of the prophets have not your fathers perse- cuted ? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One ; of whom ye have been now the be- trayers and murderers: 53. Who have re- ceived the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. 54. When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. , 55. But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and Saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, 56. And said, Behold, I see the heav- ens opened, and the Son of man standing On the right hand of God. Acts 23:1. And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men (t/ld brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day. 2. And the high priest Ananias commanded them that stood by him to Smite him on the mouth. 3. Then said Paul unto him, God shall Smite thee, f/0// whited wall : for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be Smitten contrary to the law. 2 4. And they that stood by Said, Revilest thou God's high priest ? 5. Then silid Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest : for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. 6. But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the Son of a Pharisee : of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question. 7. And when he had so said, there arose a dissension between the Pharisees and the Sadducees: and the mul- titude was divided. Acts 26:1. Then Agrippa Said unto Paul, Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul stretched forth the hand, and an- Swered for himself: 2. I think myself hap- py, king Agrippa, because I shall answer for myself this day before thee touching all the things whereof I am accused of the Jews: 3. Especially because I know thee to be ex- pert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews: wherefore I beseech thee to hear me patiently. 4. My manner of life from my youth, which was at the first among mine own nation at Jerusalem, know all the Jews; 5. Which knew me from the begin- ning, if they would testify, that after the most straitest sect of Our religion I lived a Pharisee. 6. And now Istandiand am judged for the hope of the promise made of God un- to our fathers: 7. Unto which promise Our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused Of the Jews. 8. Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead 2 9. I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth. 10. Which thing I also did in Jerusalem : and many of the Saints did I shut up in prison, having received au- thority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them. 11. And I punished them oft in every synagogue, and compelled them to blas- pheme; and being exceedingly mad against them, I persecuted they, even unto strange cities. 12. Whereupon as I went to Damas- cus with authority and commission from the chief priests, 13. At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me. 14. And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and Say- ing in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 15. And Isaid, Who art thou, T.Ord 2 And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. 16. But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; 17. De- livering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, 18. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of 262 COURT. COVENANT. Satan unto God, that they may receive for- giveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. 19. Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision: 20. |But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. 21. For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill ºve. 22. Having there- fore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to Small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come : 23. That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. 24. And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself ; much learning doth make thee mad. 25. But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and Soberness. 26. For the king knoweth of these things, before whom also I speak freely : for I am persuaded that none of these things are hid- den from him ; for this thing was not done in a corner. 27. King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. 28. Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. 29. And Paul Said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. 30. And when he had thus spoken, the king rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that sat with them : 31. And when they were gone aside, they talked between themselves, saying, This man doeth nothing worthy of death or of bonds. 32. Then said Agrippa unto Fes- tus, This man might have been set at liberty, if he had not appealed unto Caesar. See APPEAL: PUNISHMENT: WITNESS. COURTESY. See MANNERS. COURTSHIP.

THE SECONI) COVENANT : Jer. 31:31. Be- hold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new Covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah : 32. Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although Iwasan husband unto them, saith the IORD : 33. But this shall be the Covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD : for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD : for I will forgive their in- iquity, and I will remember their sin no Ill OI’62.

But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 7. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. 8. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9. Not according to the covenant that I made with their fa- thers, in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt : because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, Saith the Lord. 1(). For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord ; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11. And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord : for all || shall know me, from the least to the great- est. 12. For I will be merciful to their un- righteousness, and their sins and their in- iquities will I remember no more. 13. In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decay- eth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Heb. 12:18. For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, 19. And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: 20. (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch, the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart : 21. And so ter- rible was the sight, that Moses Said, I ex- ceedingly fear and Quake:) 22. But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23.

When goods increase, they are in- creased that eat them : and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the be- holding of them with their eyes? Isa. 1:23. Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

The heads thereof judge for re- ward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money : Mic. 7:3. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. Hab. 1:15. They take up all of them with the angle, they catch them in their net, and gather them in their drag : therefore they rejoice and are glad. 16. Therefore they Sacrifice unto their net, and burn incense unto their drag ; because by them their por- tion is fat, and their meat plenteous.

But lay up for your- selves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 24. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the One, and love the other: Or else he will hold to the One, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 25.

But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covet- Ous, Or an idolater, Or a railer, or a drunk- ard, Or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. Eph. 5:3. But fornication, and all unclean- ness or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh Saints; 5. For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who ----- *- is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. 1 Cor. 6:10. Col. 3:2. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 5. Morti- fy therefore your members which are upon the earth; . . . and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6.

Whose end is destruc- tion, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things ) 1 Thess. 2:5. For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness: 1 Tim. 3:3. Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre: but patient, not a brawler, not covetous ; Tit. 1:11. 1 Tim. 6:5. Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, Supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 6. But godliness with con- tentment is great gain. 7. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8. And having food and raiment let us be there with Con- tent. 9. But they that will be rich fall into temp- tation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in de- struction and perdition. 10. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while Some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 11. But thou, O man of God, flee these things, and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, pa- tience, meekness. 17. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to en- JOy : 2 Tim. 3:2. Men shall be lovers Of their Own selves, covetous, Tit. 1:7. For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self willed, not Soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre: Heb. 13:5. Let your conversation be with- out covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: Jas. 4:2. Ye lust, and have not : ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain : 13.

If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. 3. If he came in by himself, he shall go out by him- self: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him. 4. If his master have GOD, CREDITOR. given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her chil- dren shall be her master's, and he shall go Out by himself. 5. And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free : 6. Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, Or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever. Ex. 22:25. If thout lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou Shalt not be to him as a usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury. 26. If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the Sun goeth down ; 27. For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep 3 and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear ; for I am gracious. Lev. 25:14. And if thou sell Ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest on/g/t of thy neigh- bour's hand, ye shall not oppress one an- other : 15. According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neigh- bour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee: 16. According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it : for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee. 17. Ye shall not there- fore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God. 35. And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thout shalt relieve him : yea, though he be a stranger, or a Sojourner; that he may live with thee. 36. Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God: that thy brother may live with thee. 37. Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase. T)eut. 15:2. And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother ; because it is called the LORD's re- lease. 3. Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again : but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release ; Deut. 23:19. Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury: 20. Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury : that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it. Deut. 24:6. No man shall take the mether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he taketh a man’s life to pledge. 10. When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his 268 CREDITOR.—OPPRESSIONS OF-MERCIFUL. pledge. 11. Thou shalt stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lendshall bring Out the pledge abroad unto thee. 12. And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge: 13. In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the Sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God. 17. Thou shalt not pervert the judgment Of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow’s raiment to pledge: Matt. 5:42. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. Luke 6:34. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. {}PPRESSIONS OF : 2 Kim. 4:1. Now there Cried a certain woman of the wives of the Sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy Servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD : and the creditor is come to take unto him my two Sons to be bondmen. Neh. 5:1. And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their breth- ren the Jews. 2. For there were that said, We, Our Sons, and our daughters, are many : therefore we take up corn for them, that we Imay eat, and live. 3. Some also there were that Said, 'We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. 4. There were also that said, 'We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and #/hat upon our lands and vineyards. 5. Yet now our flesh As as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bond- age Our Sons and our daughters to be serv- ants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them : for other men have Our lands and vineyards. 6. And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these Words. 7. Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said Into them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them. 8. And I said unto them, We after Otiſ' ability have redeemed Our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen : and will ye even sell your brethren 2 or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer. 9. Also I said, It is not good that ye do: Ought ye not to walk in the fear of Our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies? 10. I likewise, cºnd my brethren, and my Servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury. 11. Testore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their olive- yards, and their houses, also the hundredth p(ſ)'ſ of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them. 12. Then Said they, We will restore them, and will re- Quire nothing of them : so will we do as thou Sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an Oath of them, that they should do accord- ing to this promise. 13. Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performethnot this promise, even thus be he Shaken Out, and emptied. And all the con- gregation Said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise. Job 20:18. That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitu- tion be, and he shall not rejoice therein. 19. Because he hath oppressed and hath for- Saken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not; 20. Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he de- sired. Job 22:6. For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing. Job 24:3. They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow’s Ox for a pledge. 9. They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor. 10. They cause him to go naked without cloth- ing, alld they take away the sheaf from the hungry; Prov. 22:26. Be not thou Oºme of them that strike hands, 07' of them that are sureties for debts. 27. If thou hast nothing to pay, why should hetakeaway thy bed from underthee? Matt. 5:25. Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him: lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. Luke 12:58,59. Matt. 18:28. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. 29. And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and be- sought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 30. And he would not : but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 31. So when his fellow- servants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. 32. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: 33. Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow- servant, even as I had pity on thee ? 34. And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. 35. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. MERCIFUL : Psa. 112:5. A good man shew. 269 CREDITOR.

Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. 24. And when he had begun to reckon, One Was brought unto him, which owed him ten thou- sand talents. 25. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26. The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee ali. 27. Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. Luke 7:41. There was a certain Creditor which had two debtors: the One Owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. 42. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly ſorgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most 2 43. Simon an- swered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.

In thee have they discovered their fathers' nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution. 11. And one hath committed abomination with his neighbour's wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law ; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter. 12. In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD. 27. Her princes in the midst thereof (tºe like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to de- stroy Souls, to get dishonest gain. 28.

And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the iand which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey ; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee. 4. There- fore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I Command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister. 5. And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up ºvy iron tool upon them. 6.

And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and re- joice before the LORD thy God. 8. And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly. 9. And Moses and the priests the Levites spake into all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God. , 10. Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day. 11. And MOSes charged the people the same day, Saying, 12.

And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebul- lun, Dan, and Naphtali. 14. And the Devites shall speak, and say unto all the men of IS- rael with a loud voice, 15.

And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he 2:2 wrote in the presence of the children of Is- rael. 33. And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them. Over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the Servant of the LORD had commanded be- fore, that they should bless the people of Israel. 34.

Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his serv- ant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light 2 let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God. - Matt. 6:22.

But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into Outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. John 1:5. And the light shineth in dark- ness; and the darkness comprehended it not. John 3:19. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20. For every One that doeth evil hateth the light, neither conneth to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in GOd. John 8:12. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walkin dark- ness, but shall have the light of life. John 11:9. Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day ? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth hot, because he seeth the light of this world. 10. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him. Acts26:18.

Tom. 1:21. Became vain in their imagina- tions, and their foolish heart was darkened. Rom. 13:12. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the ar- mour of light. 13. Tet us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 1. Cor. 4:5. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. 2 Cor. 4:6. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowl- edge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Cor. 6:14. Beye not unequally yoked to- gether with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness 2 and what communion hath light with dark- ness? Eph. 5:8. For ye were Sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 11. And have no fellow- ship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove they?. 1 TheSS. 5:4. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5. Yeare all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 1 Pet. 2:9. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 1 John 1:5. This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellow- ship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all Sl?]. 1 John 2:8. Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you : because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. 9. He that Saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 10. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stum- bling in him. 11. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in dark- ness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, be- cause that darkness hath blinded his eyes. See BLINDNESS, SPIRITUAL.

With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build deso- late places for themselves; 15. Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: 16. Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been ; as infants which nover saw light. 17. There the wicked cease from troubling ; and there the weary be at rest. 18. There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor. 19. The small and great are there ; and the Serv- ant is free from his master. Job 14:11. As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up : 12. So man lieth down, and riseth not : till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. 13. O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me ! 14. If a man die, shall he live again 3 all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. 15. Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands. 21. His Sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not ; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them. Job 17:13. If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness. 14. I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Tho?, art my mother, and my sister. 15. And where is now my hope 2 as for my hope, who shall see it? 16. They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust. Psa. 6:5. For in death there is no remem- brance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks : - Psa. 30.9. What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit 2 Shall the dust praise thee ? shall it declare thy truth? Psa. 49:15. But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall re- ceive me. Psa. 88:10. Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee ? Selah. 11. Shall thy lovingkindness be de- clared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? 12. Shallthy wonders belxnown in the dark 2 and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? Psa. 115:17. The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence. Prov. 21:16. The man that wandereth Out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead. Eccl., 9:5. For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward ; for the memory of them is forgotten. 6. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the Sun. t Ezek. 32:31, Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, eve? Pharaoh and all his army slain by the Sword, Saith the Lord GOD. Dan. 12:2. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. . Luke 9:30. And, behold, there talked with him two men, which were Moses and Elias: 31. Who appeared in glory, and spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. .T.uke 16:19. There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared Sumptuously every day : 20. And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of Sores, 21. And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table : moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was Carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom ; the rich man also died, and was buried ; 23. And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and Seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and Send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25. But Abraham said, Son, re- member that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26. And beside all this, be- tween us and youthere is a great gulf fixed : So that they which would pass from hence to you cannot ; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27. Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28. For I have five brethren : that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29. Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the proph- ets; let them hear them. 30. And he said, Nay, father Abraham : but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. Luke 20:35. But they which shall be ac- counted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36. Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. Luke 23:43.

Now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt Seek me in the morning, but I shall not be. Job 14:12. So man lieth down, and riseth not : till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. Jer. 51:39. In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, Saith the LORD. Dan. 12:2. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. John 11:11. These things said he and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Acts 7:60. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. Acts 13:36. For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell T}EATII. on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: 1 Cor. 15:6. After that,he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 18. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are per- ished. 51. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 1 Thess. 4:14. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15.

And David Sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he Saith, Tet not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death. 2 Sam. 1:23.

For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, Psa. 68:20. Unto GOD the Tord belong the issues from death. Deut. 32:39. T’sa. 82:7. Ye shall die like men, and fall like One of the princes. IPsa. 89:48. What man is / e that liveth, and shall not see death ? shall he deliver his Soul from the hand of the grave? IPsa. 90:3. Thou turnest man to destruc- tion; and sayest, Return, ye children of l]]{2}). Tºsa. 103:14. He remembereth that we (17'e dust. 15. As for man, his days (176 as grass: as a flower of the field, so he fiourish- eth. 16. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. Psa. 104:29. Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. Psa. 143:3. For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead. Lam. 3:6. sa. 144:4. Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. IPsa. 146:4. His breath goeth forth, he re- turneth to his earth ; in that very day his thoughts perish. Eccl. 2:14. The wise man's eyes (17'e in his head : but the foo} walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event 2S] & DEATH.—UNULASSIFIED SCRIPTURES TRELATING TO. happeneth to them all. 15. Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, So it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I Said in my heart, tha' this also is vanity. 16. For there is no re- membrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man 2 as the fooi. 17. Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the Sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit. 18. Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the Sun: because I should leave it unto the man that Shali be after me. Eccl. 3:2. A time to be born, and a time to die; 19. That which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing be- falleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; 20. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 21. Who know- eth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth down- ward to the earth 2 Eccl. 4:2. Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the liv- ing which are yet alive. Eccl. 5:15. As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand. Job 1:21. Eccl. 6:6. Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place 7 10. That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he. Eccl. 7:1. A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth. 2. It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. 15. All things have I Seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just ºn (tº that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness. Eccl. 8:8. There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it. Eccl. 9:3. This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness Žs in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. 5. For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. 6. Also their love, and their hatred and their envy, is now perished ; neither have they any more a portion for S) ever in any thing that is done under the sun. 10. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. Eccl. 12:5. Man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: 7. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it, Isa. 25:8. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; Isa. 38:1. In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the Son of Amoz came unto him, and Said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. 10. I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am de- prived of the residue of my years. 11. I Said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world. 12. Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me. 13. I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me. Isa. 40:7. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth : because the spirit of the LORD blow- eth upon it: Surely the people is grass. 1 Pet. 1:24. Isa. 51:12. I, eve? I, alºm he that comfort- eth you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the Son of man vehich shall be made as grass; Jer. 9:21. Death is come up into our win- dows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets. HOS. 13:14. I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them. from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repent- ance shall be hid from mine eyes. Zech. 1:5. Your fathers, where are they and the prophets, do they live for ever? Matt. 10:28. Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the Soul: Tuke 20:34. And Jesus answering Said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: 35. But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in mar- riage: 36. Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. 37. Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abra- ham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him, S.2 * DEATH...-PREPARATION FOR. Luke 23:39. And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40. But the other answering rebuked him, say- ing, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the Same condemnation ? 41. And we in- deed justly ; for we receive the due reward of Our deeds: but this man hath, done moth- ing amiss. 42. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I Say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. John 9:4. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. Rom. 5:12. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin ; and SO death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned : 14. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the simili- tude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 1 Cor. 15:21. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 55. O death, where is thy sting ? O grave, where is thy victory 56. The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. - 1 Tim. 6:7. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing Out. 2 Tim. 1:10. But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: Heb. 2:14. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also him- Self likewise took part of the same ; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15. And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bond- age. Heb. 9:27. And as it is appointed unto men Once to die, but after this the judgment : Heb. 13:14. Here have we no continuing City, but We seek one to come. Jas. 1:10. As the flower of the grass he shall pass away. 11. For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. 1 Pet. 1:24. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower, thereof falleth away : lºv. 1:18. I (()), he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen ; and have the keys of hell and of death. Rev. 20:12. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were Opened : and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged Out of those things which were writ- ten in the books, according to their works. 13. And the Sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14. And death and heli were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Rev. 21:4. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. PREPARATHON FOR : Deut. 32:29. O that, they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end 2 Kin. 20:1. In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the SOn Of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus Saith the LORD, Set thinehouse in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. Psa. 39:4. LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am. 13. O spare me, that I may recover strength, be- fore I go hence, and be no more. Psa. 90:12. So teach zºs to number Our days, that we may apply ontº’ hearts unto wisdom. Eccl. 9:4. To him that is joined to all the living there is hope : for aliving dog is better than a deadlion. 10. Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. Eccl. 11:7. Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun : 8. But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. Isa. 38:18. For the grave cannot praise thee, death can wºot celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. 19. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day : the father to the children shall make known thy truth. Luke 12:35. Tet yourloins be girded about, and yotr lights burning; 36. And ye your- selves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him immediately. 37. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching : John 9:4. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the light cometh, when no man can Work. Rom. 14:S. For whether we live, we live unto the JLord ; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord : whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 283 IDEATH...-OF THE TRIGHTEOUS. Phil. 1:21. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. - Heb. 13:14. Here have we no continuing city, but we seek One to come. Jas. 4:15. Ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 1 Pet. 1:17. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth ac- cording to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: {}}F THE RIGHTE{}US : Num. 23:10. Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his l 2 Sam. 12:23. But now he is dead, where- fore should I fast 2 can I bring him back again ' I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me. 2 Kin. 22:19. Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself be- fore the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the in- habitants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have hoard thee, saith the LORD. 20. Behold therefore, I will gather thee unto thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered into thy grave in peace; and thine eyes shall not See all the evil which I will bring upon this place. And they brought the king word again. Psa. 23:4. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou (/rt with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psa. 31:5. Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth. Psa. 37:37. Mark the perfect man, and be- hold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. Psa. 49:15. God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for heshall receive me. Psa. 73:24. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Psa. 116:15. Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his Saints. Prov. 14:32. The righteous hath hope in his death. Eccl. 7:1. A good name is better than pre- cious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth. Isa. 57:1. The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart : and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. 2. He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness. Dan. 12:13. But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest. and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. Luke 2:29. Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word : - - Iuke 16:22. The beggar died, and was car- ried by the angels into Abraham's bosom : Iuke 23:43. To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. John 11:11. These things Said he and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth ; but I go, that I may awake him Out of sleep. Acts 7:59. They stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. Rom. 14:7. For none of us liveth to him- self, and no man dieth to himself. 8. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord ; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord : whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 1 Cor. 3:21. All things are your's; 22. Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's; 23. And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. 1 Cor. 15:51. Behold, I shew you a mys- tery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52. In a moment, in the twink- ling of an eye, at the last trump : for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53. For this corruptible must put on incor- ruption, and this mortal aroust put on immor- tality. 54. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55. O death, where is thy sting 2 O grave, where is thy victory 2 56. The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Cor. 1:9. But we had the sentence of death in Ourselves, that we should not trust in Ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: 10. Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us; - 2 Cor. 5:1. For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 4. We that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be un- clothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 8. We are confident, I say, and Willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Phil. 1:20. Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. 21. To me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 23. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 24. Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. 1 Thess. 4:13. But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 1 Thess. 5:9. For God hath not appointed 284 DEATII.—SCENEs or. -**— us to wrath, but to obtain Salvation by Our Lord Jesus Christ, 10. Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. - 2 Tim. 4:6. For I am now ready to be of fered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, - - Heb. 2:14. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15. And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Heb. 11:13. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar: off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 2. Pet. 1:11. For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Sav- iour Jesus Christ. 14. Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as Our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. Rev. 14:13. And I heard a voice from heav- en saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth : Yea, Saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do fol- low them. SCENES OF : OF ISAAC : Gen. 27:1. And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not See, he called Esau his eldest Son, and Said unto him, My Son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I. 2. And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death: 3. Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some veni- son; 4. And make me Savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat ; that my soul may bless thee before I die. 22. And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Ja- cob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau. 23. And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau’s hands: So he blessed him. 24. And he said, ſº thou my very son Esau ? And he said, (ſ.7)?). 25. And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat ; and he brought him wine, and he drank. 26. And his father Isaac Said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son. 27. And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the Smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and Said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed: 28. There- fore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine: 29. Tet people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord Over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curs- eth thee, and blessed be he that blesseththee. 30. And it came to pass, as Soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet Scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting. 31. And he also had made Savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and Said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me. 32. And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau. 33. And Isaac trembled very exceed- ingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou Camest, and have blessed him ? yea, and he shall be blessed. 34. And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and ex- ceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father. 35. And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing. 36. And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me? 37. And Isaac answered and Said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son? 38. And Esau Said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept. 39. And Isaac his father answered and Said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fat- ness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above ; 40. And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck. OF JACOB: Gen. 49:1. And Jacob called. unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. 2. Gather yourselves, together, and hear, ye Sons of Jacob: and hearken unto Israel your father. 3. Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the ex- cellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: 4. Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy fa- ther's bed; then defiledst thou it: he went up to my couch. 5. Simeon and Levi are breth- ren; instruments of cruelty are in their hab- itations. 6. O my soul, come not thou into their secret: unto their assembly, mine hon- our, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their Self will they 285 T} EATII.--SGENES OF. digged down a wall. 7. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and Scat- ter them in Israel. S. Judah, thou (/)'t he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee, 9. Judah is a lion's whelp : from the prey, my son, thou art gone up : he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up 2, 10. The Sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come ; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. 11. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: 12. His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. 13. Zebulun shall dwell at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for an haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon. 14. Is- Sachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens: 15. And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute. 16. Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. 17. T)an shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. 18. I have waited for thy Salvation, O LORD. 19. Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcorne at the last. 20. Out of Asher his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties. 21. Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words. 22. Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: 23. The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him : 24. But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob: (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:) 25. Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb : 26. The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the bless- ings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren. 27. Benjamin shall raven as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil. 28. All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them ; every one accord- ing to his blessing he blessed them. 29. And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite, 30. In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying- place. 31. There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah. 32. The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth. 33. And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people. Heb. 11:21. OF MOSES: Deut. 31:14. And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congre- gation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congre- gation. 15. And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the tabernacle. 16. And the LORD Said unto Mo- ses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fa- thers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my cove- nant which I have made with them. 17. Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us? 18. And I will Surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods. 19. Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: but it in their mouths, that this Song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel. 20. For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled them- selves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and pro- voke me, and break my covenant. 21. And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed : for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware. 22. Moses therefore wrote this Song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel. 23. And he gave Joshua the Son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the chil- dren of Israel into the land which I Sware unto them : and I will be with thee. 24. And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, 25, That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare 286 I).EATH.-SCENES OF. the ark of the covenant of the LORD, Saying, 26. Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. 27. For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD ; and how much more after my death ? 28. Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them. 29. For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt your- selves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall youin the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands. 30. And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended. Deut. 32:1. Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak ; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. 2. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the Small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: 3. Because I will publish the name of the LORD : as- cribe ye greatness unto our God. 4. He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment : a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. 5. They have corrupted themselves, their spot Žs not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation. 6. Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise ? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee? 7. Remember the days of old, consider the years of many genera- tions: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders and they will tell thee. 8. When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the Sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the peo- ple according to the number of the children of Israel. 9. For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. 10. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 11. As an eagle stir- reth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12. So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no Strange god with him. 13. He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14. Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape. 15. But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxenfat, thou art grown thick, thou art *--- covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his Salvation. 16. They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. 17. They sacrificed unto devils, not to God ; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. 18. Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. 19. And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daugh- ters. 20. And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be : for they are a very froward genera- tion, children in whom is no faith. 21. They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. 22. For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foun- dations of the mountains. 23. I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine ar- rows upon them. 24. They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of Serpents of the dust. 25. The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young men and the virgin, the Suckling also with the man of gray hairs. 26. I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men: 27. Were . it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave them- selves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this. 28. For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any un- derstanding in them. 29. O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end l 30. How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them. up 2 31. For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges. 32. For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah : their grapes Gre grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter: 33. Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. 34. Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed u among my treasures? 35. To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their ca- lamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste. 36. For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he Seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left. 37. And he shall say, Where 287 1) EATii.—Scºnºs oº. - *-*- - as, - . . ~": .."-- & - —º - - ----- are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted, 38. Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection, 39. See now that I, ever, I, am, he, and there is no god with me : I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there (t/ly that can de- liver out of my hand. 40. For T lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. 41. If I whet my glittering Sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and Will re- ward them that hate me. 42. I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy. 43. Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people : for he will avenge the blood of his Serv- ants, and will render vengeance to his ad- versaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people. 44. And MOSes came and spake all the words of this Song in the ears of the people, he, and HOShea, the son of Nun. 45. And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel: 46. And he said unto them, Set your hearts un- to all the words which I testify among you this day, which he shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. 47. For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong yout,' days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. 48. And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, Saying, 49. Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, ºnto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is Over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession : 50. And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gath- ered unto his people: 51. TXecause ye tres- passed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin ; because ye Sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel. 52. Yet thou shalt see the land before #/bee : but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel. Teut. 33:1. And this is the blessing, where- with Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. 2. And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them ; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of Saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. 3. Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand : and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words. 4. Moses com- manded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. , 5. And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gath- ered together. 6. Let Reuben live, and not die ; and let /, of his men be few. 7. And this is the blessing of Judah ; and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be suffi- cient for him; and be thou a help to him. from his enemies. 8. And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah ; 9. Who said un- to his father and to his mother, I have not seen him ; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant. 10. They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law : they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar. 11. Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: Smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again. 12. And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the JLORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders. 13. And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath, 14. And for the precious fruits brought fortſ, by the sun, and for the pre- cious things put forth by the moon, 15. And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills, 16. And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush : let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren. 17. His glory is like the firstling of his bul- lock, and his horns (tre /i/ce the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the peo- ple together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh. 18. And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out ; and, Issachar, in thy tents. 19. They shall call the people unto the moun- tain ; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness : for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand. 20. And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad : he dwell- eth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head. 21. And he provideth the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated ; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the TORD, and his judgments with Israel. 22. And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp : he shall leap from Bashan. 23. And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD : possess thou the west and the South. 24. And of Asher he said. Let Asher be blessed with children: 288 T)FATH. SCENES OF. let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil. 25. Thy shoes 8/all be iron and brass; and as thy days, so s/vall thy strength be. 26. There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his ex- cellency on the sky. 27. The eternal God Žs thy refuge, and underneath are the ever- lasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, De- stroy them. 28. Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shatll be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heav- ens shall drop down dew. 29. Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the IORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excel- lency 1 and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places. Deut. 34:1. And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is Over against Jericho: and the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan, 2. And all Naph- tali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea, 3. And the South, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, un- to Zoar. 4. And the TORD said unto him, This is the land which I Sware unto Abra- ham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy Seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither. 5. So Moses the servº ant of the TLORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the IORD. 6. And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Beth-peor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. 7. And Moses aca’s an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. OF DAVID : 1 Kin. 2:1. Now the days of David drew nigh that he should die; and he charged Solomon his son, saying, 2. I go the way of all the earth: be thou strong therefore, and shew thyself a man ; 3. And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself: 4. That the LORD may continue his word which he spake concern- ing me, saying, If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel. 5. Moreover thou know- est also what Joab the Son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that cere on his feet. 6. Do there- fore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace. 7. But shew kindness unto the sons of Bar- Zillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother. S. And, belhold, thoºd /last with thee Shimei the Son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous Curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim : but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I Sware to him by the LORD, saying, I Will not put thee to death with the sword. 9. Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou Oughtest to do unto him ; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood. 10. So I)avid slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David. OF ZECHARIAH. : 2 Chr. 24:22. Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon it, and require it. OF JESUS: Matt. 27:34. They gave him vin- egal to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted 7/e7'eof, he would not drink. 35. And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be ful- filled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. 36. And sit- ting down they watched him there; 37. And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38. Then were there two thieves crucified with him ; one on the right hand, and another on the left. 39. And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, 40. And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the Cross. 41. Tikewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 42. He saved others; him- self he cannot save. If he be the King of Is- rael, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43. He trusted in God: let him deliver him now, if he will have him : for he said, I am the Son of God. 44. The thieves also, which were Crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. 45. Now from the sixth hour there was darkness Over all the land unto the ninth hour. 46. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama Sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 47. Some Of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This many calleth for Elias. 48. And straight- way one of them ran, and took a Spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink. 49. The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him. 50. Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51. And, behold, the veil of the (19\ 289 T)F ATH...--()F THE WICKED. temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom ; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent : 52. And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the Saints which slept arose, 53. And came Out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. Mark 15:23-38; Luke 23:27–49; John 19:16–30. OF STEPHEN : Acts 7:59. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and Saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. OF PAUL ; 2 Tim. 4:6. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7. Ihave fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the TOrd, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. OF THE WICKEI): Nunn. 16:30. But, if the TORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall un- derstand that these men have provoked the TORD. 1 Sam. 25:38. And it came to pass about ten days after, that the LORD Smote Nabal, that he died. 2 Chr. 21:6. And he [Jehoram] wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the TORD. 20. Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jeru- Salem eight years, and departed without be- ing desired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings. Job 4:21. Doth not their excellency which Žs in them go away ? they die, even without wisdom. - Job 18:14. His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors. 18. He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased Out of the world. - Job 20:4. Knowest thou Avot this of Old, since man was placed upon earth, 5. That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment ? 8. He shallfly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night. 11. His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust. Job 21:13. They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. 17. How oft is the candle of the wicked put out ! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them | God distributeth Sorrows in his anger. 18. They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away. 23. One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. 24. His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow. 25. And another dieth in the bitterness of his Soul, and never eateth with pleasure. 26. They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall COver them. Job 24:20. The worm shall feed sweetly on him ; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree. 24. They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low ; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn. Job 27:8. What is the hope of the hypo. crite, though he hath gained, when God tak- eth away his soul? 19. The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered : he openeth his eyes, and he is not. 20. Terrors take hold On him as Waters, a tempest steal- eth him away in the night. 21. The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place. 22. For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand. 23. Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place. Job 34:20. In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away : and the mighty shall be taken away without hand. Job 36:12. If they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. 14. They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean. 18. Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. 20. T)esire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. Psa. 37:1. Fret not thyself because of evil- doers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 2. They shall SOOil be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 9. Evildoers shall be cut off: 10. Yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be. 35. I have seen the wicked in great power, and spread- ing himself like a green bay tree. 36. Yet he passed away, and, lo, he (tals not : yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. Psa. 49:7. None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ran- som for him : 9. That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. 10. For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. 14. Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them ; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwell- ing. 17. When he dieth he shall carry nothing away : his glory shall not descend after him. 19. He shall go to the genera- tion of his fathers; they shall never Seelight. 20. Man that is in honour, and understand- eth not, is like the beasts that perish. Psa. 55:15. Let death seize upon them, 29() DEATH. OF THE WICKED. (t/yd let them go down quick into hell ; for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them. 23. Thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction : bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; Psa. 58:9. Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath. Psa. 73:3. For I was envious at the fool- ish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4. There are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. 17. Until I went into the Sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. 18. Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. 19. How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment they are utterly consumed with terrors. 20. As a dream when one awaketh ; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. - Psa. 78:50. He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; Psa. 92.7. When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: *- Prov. 2:22. The wicked shall be cut Off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted Out of it. Prov. 5:22. His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins. 23. He shall die without instruction; - Prov. 10:25. As the whirlwind passeth, so Žs the wicked no more: 27. The years of the wicked shall be shortened. Prov. 11:7. When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish : and the hope of unjust men perisheth. 10. When it go- eth well with the righteous, the city rejoic- eth : and when the wicked perish, there is shouting. Prov. 13:9. The light of the righteous re- joiceth : but the lamp of the wicked shall be put Out. Prov. 14:32. The wicked is driven away in his wickedness: but the righteous hath hope in his death. Prov. 21:16. The man that wandereth Out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead. Prov. 24:20. There shall be no reward to the evil man ; the candle of the wicked shall be put out. - Prov. 29:1. He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be de- stroyed, and that without remedy. 16. When the wicked are multiplied, trans- gression increaseth : Eccl. 8:10. I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of the holy, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done. Isa. 14:11. Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the Worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee... 15. Thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. Isa. 17:14. And behold at eveningtide trou- ble; and before the morning he is not. This is the portion of them that spoil us, and the lot of them that rob us. Isa. 26:14. They are dead, they shall not ... live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and de- stroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. - Jer. 16:3. Forthus saith the TORD concern- ing the Sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concern- ing their fathers that begat them in this land; 4. They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented: neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth. Ezek. 28:8. They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them. that are slain in the midst of the seas. 10. Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircum- cised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. Amos 9:10. All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. Luke 12:20. But God said unto him, TJ Oºt fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided ? Luke 16:22. The rich man also died, and was buried; 23. And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and Seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tor- mented. 26. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: So that they which would pass from hence to you cannot ; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27. Then he said, Ipray theetherefore, father, that thou would- est send him to my father's house: 28. For I have five brethren: that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. - Acts 5:3. But]’eter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land 2 4. Whiles it remained, was it not thine own 2 and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power ? why hast thou con- ceived this thing in thine heart 2 thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5. And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and 291 T)EATH.—SPIRITUAL–SECOND. gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 6. And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. 7. And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 8. And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for So much? And she said, Yea, for so much. 9. Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord 2 behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 10. Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, andfound her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. 1 Thess. 5:3.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 25. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; John 6:50. This is the bread which Cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever : and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 53. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I Say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. John 11:26. And whosoever liveth and be- lieveth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? Rom. 5:12. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin : and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned : 15. But not as the Offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, 70/ic/. Žs by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. - Rom. 7:11. Sin, taking occasion by the com- mandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. Rom. 8:5. They that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh : 6. To be car- nally minded is death ; 12. Therefore, breth- ren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 2 Cor. 5:14. For the love of Christ constrain- eth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: Eph.2:1. You /lat/, /equickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 5. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us to- gether with Christ, (by grace ye are Saved :) 6. And hath raised us up together, and made ws sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: - - Eph. 4:18.

And you, being deadin your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having for- given you all trespasses: 1 Tim. 5:6. But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. 1 Pet. 2:24. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 John 5:12.

Ezek. 33:8. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die: if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his in- iquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 9. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in hisin- iquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 11.

Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right ; 15. If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity ; he shall surely live, he shall not die. 16. None of his sins that he hath committed shall be men- tioned unto him : he hath done that which is lawful and right ; he shall Surely live. Matt. 7:13. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Matt. 10:28. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the Soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy ooth Soul and body in hell. Matt. 25:30. And cast ye the unprofitable Servant into Outer darkness: there shall be Weeping and gnashing of teeth. 41. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 46. And these shall go away into everlasting pºishment : but the righteous into life eter- Ilal. Mark 9:43. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be Quenched; 44. Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. Rom. 1:32. Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Rom. 6:16. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his serv- ants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteous- ness? 21. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed ? for the end of those things is death. 23.

And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Rev. 20:14. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Rev. 21:8.

Know ye not, that SO many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4. There- fore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5. For if we have been planted to: gether in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection : 6. Knowing this, that our old man is cruci- fied with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7. For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him : 9. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more ; death hath no more dominion Over him. 10. For in that he died, he died unto sin once : but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Rom. 7:1. Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth ? 2. For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her hus- band so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law ; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 4. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit, unto God. 5. Fol: when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were 393 DEATH. by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. 6. But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the old- ness of the letter. 7. What shall we say then 2 Is the law sin Ž God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law : for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. 8. But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For with- out the law sin was dead. 9. For I was alive without the law. Once : but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. 10. And the commandment, which 40as ordained to life, I found to be unto death. 11. For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew 7/06. Rom. 8:10. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit Øs life because of righteousness. 11. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in Oll. Col. 2:20.

According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and accord- ing to the fewness of years thou shalt dimin- ish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee. 17. Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God. 25. If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath Sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold. 26. And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it ; 27. Then let him count the years of the sale therof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it : that he may return unto his possession. 28. But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile: and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his posses- sion. 29.

And Elisha Said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house ? And she said, Thine hand- maid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil. 3. Then he said, Go, borrow 295 T) EBTOR. DECAT, () GUE. thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. 4. And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy Sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. 5. So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her Sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out. 6. And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her Son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. 7. Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest. * Neh. 5:3.

Yet now our flesh is as the flesh Of Our brethren, Our children as their chil- dren: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and Our daughters to be servants, and some of Our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to re- deem them : for other men have our lands and vineyards.

Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not : Matt. 18:23. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. 24. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. 25. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26. The servant therefore fell down, and wor- Shipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 27. Then the lord of that servant was moved with Compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. 28. But the same servant went Out, and found one of his fellow- Servants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. 29. And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 30. And he would not : but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 31. So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. 32. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: 33. Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow- Servant, even as I had pity on thee ? Luke 20:9. Then began he to speak to the people this parable ; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time. 10. And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard : but the hus: bandmen beat him, and sent him away empty. 11. And again he sent another Serv ant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty 12. And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out. 13. Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence / in when they see him. 14. But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir : come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. 15. So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed / 7777. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them : 16. He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, God forbid. See CREDITOR ; DEBT : SURETY. DECALOGUE.

And they came to Balaam, and said to him, Thus saith Balak the Son of Zippor, Let nothing, I pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me: 17. For I will promote thee unto very great honour, and I will do whatsoever thou Sayest unto me : come therefore, I pray thee, curse me this people. 18. And Balaam answered and Said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more. PHINEHAS : Num. 25:7. And when Phine- has, the son of Eleazar, the Son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; S. And he went after the man of IS- rael into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. 9. And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. 10. And the TLORD Spake unto Moses, saying, 11. Phinehas, the Son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. 12. Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace: 13. And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel. JOSHUA: Josh. 24:15. As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. 22. Ye (tre witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to Serve him.

And it came to pass the same night, that the LORD Said unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of Seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it : 26. And build an altar unto the LORD thy God upon the top of this rock, in the Ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt Cut down. 27. Then Gid- eon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had said unto him : and so it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night. with vs. 28–40, and chapter 7. RUTH : Ruth 1:16. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: 1 Sam. 11:4. Then came the messengers to Gibeah of Saul, and told the tidings in the ears of the people: and all the people lifted up their voices, and wept. 5. And, behold, Saul came after the herd Out of the field : and Saul said, What aileth the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh. 6. And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly. 7. And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of mes- sengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came Out with one consent. ABIGAIL: 1 Sam. 25:18. Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses. 19. And she said unto her Servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal. vs. 4–37. DAVID : 1 Sam. 17:32. And David Said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Phi- listine. 33. And Saul Said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth. 34. And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: 35. And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth : and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. 36. Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear : and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. 37. David Said moreover, The TORD that deliv- ered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me Out of the hand Of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee. vs. 20–54. 2 Sam. 22:22. For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God. 23. For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them. 24. I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity. Psa. 17:3. Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited arºe in the night ; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing ; I am purposed that my mouth shall not trans- gress. Psa. 26:6. I will wash mine hands in inno- cency : So will I compass thine altar, () LORD : 11. But as for me, I will walk in mine integrity: Psa. 40:9. I have preached 1-ighteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not re- frained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. 10. I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy Salvation: I have not concealed thy lov- ingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. Psa. 56:12. Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee. o02 DECISION.—INSTANCES OF. Psa. 66:16. Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath done for my Soul.

I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me. 31. I have stuck unto thy testi- monies: 38. Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear. 44. So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever. 45. And I will walk at liberty : for I Seek thy precepts. 46. I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. 57. Thou art my portion, O LORD : I have said that I would keep thy words. 94. I am thine, Save me; for I have Sought thy precepts. 106. I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. 115. Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the command- ments of my God. 125. I am thy servant ; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. 145. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD : I will keep thy Statutes. 146. I cried unto thee; Save me, and Ishall keep thy testimonies. Psa.143:12. A PROPHET: 1 Kin. 13:8. And the man Of God said unto the king, If thou wiit give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place: 9. For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou cameSt. 10. So he went an- other way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el. - ELIJAH : 1 Kin. 18:22.

And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again. 19. Then he sent out a second on horseback, which came to them, and said, Thus Saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. 20. And the watch- man told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously. vs. 11–37; chapter 10.

The king stood by a pillar, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep his com- mandments and his testimonies and his stat- utes with all their heart and all their soul, to perform the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the peo- ple stood to the covenant. [2 Chr. 34:31.] 25. Like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.

And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman : for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mor- decai bowed not, nor did him reverence. 3. Then the king's servants, which were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai, Why trans- gressest thou the king's commandment ? ESTHER: Esth. 4:16. So will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law : and if I perish, I perish. - JOB: Job 2:3. And the LORD said unto Sa- tan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fear- eth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. Job 23:11. My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined. 12. Nei- ther have I gone back from the command- ment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. MATTHEw: Matt. 9:9.

In nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. 21. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Col. 2:5, Joying and beholding your or- der, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. 2 Tim. 4:7. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8.

Gen. 6:5. And GOD saw that the wicked- liess of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6. And it repented the LORD that he had made mran On the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7. And the TORD Said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 11. The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. 13. And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Gen. 8:21. The TORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's Sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth ; Deut. 32:10. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him. as the apple of his eye. * Job 4:17. Shall mortal man be more just than God 2 shall a man be more pure than his maker ? 18. Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly : 19. How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, aphicſ, are crushed before the moth ? Job 9:2. How should man be just with God? 3. If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. 20. If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I (/m perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. 29. If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain? 30. If Iwash my- self with snow water, and make my hands never so clean; 31. Yet shalt, thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me. Job 11:12. For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt. Job 14:4. Who can bring a clean thing Out of an unclean Ž not one. Job 15:14. What is man, that he should be clean 2 and he 70/ic/, is born of a woman, that he should be righteous 2 15. Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. 16. How much more abominable and filthy is 1man, which drinketh iniquity like Water ? (20) 305 DEPRAVITY OF MAN. Job 25:4. How then can man be justified with God 2 or how can he be clean that is born of a woman : 5. Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not ; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight. 6. How much less man, that is a worm 7 and the Son of man, which is a worm 3 Psa. 5:9. For there is no faithfulness in their mouth ; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open Sepul- chre; they flatter with their tongue. |Psa. 14:1. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. 2. The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy : there is none that doeth good, no, not One. Psa. 53:1–3. Psa. 51:5. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Psa. 58:1. Do ye indeed speak righteous- mess, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men 3 2. Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. 3. The wicked are estranged from the womb : they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. 4. Their poison is like the poison of a serpent : they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear ; 5. Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. Psa. 94:11. The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. Psa. 130:3. If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? Psa. 143:2. And enter not into judgment with thy servant : for in thy sight shall no man living be justified. Prov. 10:20. The heart of the wicked is little worth. Prov. 20:6. Most men will proclaim every one his Own goodness: but a faithful man who can find? 9. Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my Sin 2 Prov. 21:8. The way of man is froward and strange: Eccl. 7:20. There is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not. 29. LO, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions, 2 Chr. 6:36. Eccl. 8:11. Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Eccl. 9:3. The heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart . they live, and after that they go to the €8,Ol. Isa. 1:5. The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. 6. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no sound- mess in it ; bºtt wounds, and bruises, and putrifying Sores: they have not been Live. closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. Isa. 42:6. I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, . . . for a light of the Gentiles; 7. To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. Isa. 43.8. The blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. Isa. 48:8. Yea, thou heardest not ; yea, thou knewest not ; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast, called a transgressor from the womb. Isa. 51:1. Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD : look unto the rock whence yeare hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. Isa. 53:6. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; Isa. 64:6. We are all as an unclean thing, and all Our righteousnesses (tre as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and Our in- iquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Jer. 2:22. Though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much Sope, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, Saith the Lord GOD. 29. Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, Saith the LORD. Jer. 6:7. As a fountain casteth out her waters, so she casteth out her wickedness: violence and spoil is heard in her; before me continually is grief and wounds. Jer. 13:23. Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil. Jer. 16:12. Behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me: Jer. 17:9. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it 2 Ezek. 16:6. When I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Ezek. 37:1–3. Ezek. 36:25. Then will T sprinkle clean water upon you, and yeshall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. 26. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the Stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. Hos. 6:7. They like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treach- erously against me. Hos. 14:9. Who is wise, and he shall un- derstand these things? prudent, and he shall know them ? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein. Mic. 7:2. The good man is perished out of the earth; and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they 306 DEPRAVITY OF MAN. *-*-** hunt every man his brother with a net. 3. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward ; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: So they wrap it up. 4. The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity. Matt. 7:17. Even so every good tree bring- eth forth good fruit: but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. Matt. 12:34. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, Speak good things 2 for Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. Matt. 15:19. Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blaphemies: Mark 7: 21–23. Luke 1:79. To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the Shadow of death, John 1:10. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. John 3:19. This is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. John 8:23. And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world: John 14:17. The Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it. Seeth him not, neither knoweth him : Acts 8:23. For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. Rom. 2:1. Thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest : for where- in thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. Bom. 3:9. What then ? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; 10. As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11. There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit: the poison of asps is under their lips: 14. Whose mouth is full of cursing and bit- terness: 15. Their feet are Swift to shed blood: 16. T)estruction and misery are in their ways: 17. And the way of peace have they not known: 18. There is no fear of God before their eyes. 19. Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it Saith to them who are under the law : that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may be- come guilty before God. 23. For all have Sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom. 5:6. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 12. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13. For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, Rom. 6:6. IGnowing this that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 19. As yehave yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members Servants to righteousness unto holiness. 20. For when ye were the Servants of sin, ye were free from righteous- TheSS. v. 17. Tom. 7:5. When we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. 11. Sin, taking Occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew 77te. 13. Sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might be- come exceeding sinful. 14. I am carnal, sold under sin. 15. For that which I do I allow not : for what I would, that do I not ; but what I hate, that do I. 18. Iknow that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19. For the good that I would I do not : but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 23. I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 25. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of Sl]]. Rom. 8:5. They that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; 6. To be car- nally minded is death ; 7. The carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 13. If ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. Rom. 11:32. For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. 1 Cor. 2:14. The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him : neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 307 |DEPRAVITY OF MAN. DESIGN. 1 Cor. 3:3. Ye are yet carnal: for where- as there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? 1 Cor. 5:9. I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10. Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 2 Cor. 3:4. And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 5. Not that we are suf- ficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; 2 Cor. 5:14. If one died for all, then were all dead: - Gal. 3:10. As many as are of the works of the law are under the Curse: 11. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident : 22. The Scripture hath concluded all under sin, Gal. 5:17. The flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 19. The works of the flesh are manifest, which are these ; Adultery, fornication, un- cleanness, lasciviousness, 20. Tàolatry, witch- craft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21. Envyings, hºlers drunkenness, revellings, and Such ike : Eph. 2:1. You hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2. Where- in in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience : 3. Among whom also we all had our conversa- tion in times past in the lusts of our flesh, ful- filling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 12. At that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the com- monwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope- and without God in the world: 7). I1. Eph. 4:17. This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18. Having the understanding dark- ened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, be- cause of the blindness of their heart : 19. Who being past feeling have given them- selves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 22. That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; Eph. 5:8. Ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: 14. Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, Col. 1:13. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, 21. You, that were Sometime alienated and enemies in you?' mind by wicked works, -- Col. 2:13. You, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, Col. 3:5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, un- cleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupis- cence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 7. In the which ye also walked Some time, when ye lived in them. 2 Tim. 2:26. That they may recover them- selves out of the Snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. Tit. 3:3. We ourselves also were some- times foolish, disobedient, deceived, Serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. Jas. 3:2. In many things we offend all. Jas. 4:5. Do ye think that the Scripture saith in vain, The spirit thaf dwelleth in us lusteth to envy 1 Pet. 1:18. Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, . . . from your vain conversation peceived by tradition f om your fathers; 1 Pet. 2:9. Ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 25. Ye were as sheep going astray; 1 John 1:8. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive Ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 10. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 1.John 2:16. All that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is Of the world. 1 John 3:10. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 1 John 5:19.

I waited patiently for the LORD : 8. I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. Psa. 42:1. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. 2. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and ap- pear before God? 3. My tears have been my meat day and night, while they con- tinually say unto me, Where is thy God? 4. When I remember these things, I pour Out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. 5. Why art thou cast down, O my Soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. 6.

In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even l and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. Job 3:1. After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. 2. And Job spake, and Said, 3. Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. 4. Tet that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. 5. Tet darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the black- ness of the day terrify it. 6. As for that Inight, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it lmot come into the number of the months. 7. LO, let that night be solitary; let no joyful voice come therein. 8. Tet them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning. 9. Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day: 10. Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid Sorrow from mine eyes. 11. Why died Inot from the womb 8 why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly 8 12. Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck? 13. For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept : then had I been at rest, 14. With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves: 15. Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver: 16. Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which neversaw light. 17. There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. 18. There the prisoners rest to- gether; they hear not the voice of the op- preSSor. 19. The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master. 20. Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; 21. Which long for death, but it cometſ, not : and dig for it more than for hid treasures: 22. Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave 2 23. Why is łight given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in 2 24. For my Sighing cometh before I eat, and my roar- ings are poured out like the waters. 25, For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is Come unto me. 26. I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came. Job 17:13. If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness. 14. I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister. 15. And where is now my hope ž as for my hope, who shall see it 3 16. They shall go down to the bars of the pit, When out?' rest together is in the dust. Psa. 31:22. For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications When I cried unto thee. Psa. 77:7. Will the Lord cast off for ever ? and will he be favourable no more ? 8. Is his mercy clean gone for ever ? doth his prom- ise fail for evermore? 9. Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Prov. 13:12. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. Tsa. 2:19. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake ter- ribly the earth. Jer. 2:25. There is no hope: no ; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go. Jer. 8:20. The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. - Jer. 18:12. And they said, There is no hope; but we will walk after our own de- vices, and we will every One do the imagina- tion of his evil heart. Tam. 3:1. I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. 2. He hath led me, and brought 7776 &nto darkness, but Inot into light. 3. Surely against me is he turned; he turneth his hand against me all the day. 4. My flesh and my skin hath he made old ; he hath broken my bones. 5. He hath builded against me, and compassed ºn 3 with gall and travail. 6. He hath set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old. 7. He hath hedged me about, that I cannot get Out: he hath made my chain heavy. 8. Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer. 9. He hath enclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crook- ed., 10. He was unto me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in Secret places. 11. He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he hath made me desolate. 12. He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. 13. He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins. 14. I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day. 15. He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath made me drunken with wormwood. 16. He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes. 17. And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat pros- perity. 18. And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD : 19.

This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. ſlam. 5:22. But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very wroth against us. Hos. 10:8. The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed : the thorn and the thistle shall come up On their altars; and they shall Say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us. Jonah 2:2. I cried by reason of mine afflic- tion unto the LORD, and he heard me; Out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heard- est my voice. 3. For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the Seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. 4. Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple. Mic. 7:1. Woe is me ! for I am as when they have gathered the Summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desireth the first- ripe fruit. 2. The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood: they hunt every man his brother with a net. 3. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asket/ for a reward; and the great 772&77, he uttereth his mischievous desire: So they wrap it up. 4. The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their per- plexity. 5. Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. 6. For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house. 7. Therefore I will look unto the LORD ; I will wait for the God of my Salva- tion: my God will hear me. Matt.24:30. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. Luke 13:27. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 28. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. Luke 23:29. For, behold, the days are com- ing, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wonbs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. 30. Then shall they begin to say to the moun- tains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us. Rev. 6:14. And the heaven departed as a Scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16. And said to the nioun- tains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth On the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb : 17. For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev. 9:5. And i ) them it was given that they should not ill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a Scorpion, when he striketh a man. 6. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. - See AFFLICTION: RESIGNATION; SORROW SUFFERING.

If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour ; 3. Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and sweareth, falsely ; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein: 4. Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found, 5. Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely ; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering. 6. And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest: 7. And the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD : and it shall be forgiven him for any thing of all that he hath done intrespassing therein. Lev. 19:13. Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him : the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning. 35. Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, Or in measure. 36. Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have : I am the LORD your God. Deut. 25:13. Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a Small. 14. Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small. 15. But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a per- fect and just measure shalt thou have. , 16. For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God. Job 24:2. Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof. 3.

Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey : the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children. 6. They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked. 7. They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold. 8. They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter. 9. They pluck the father- less from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor. 10. They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry ; 11. Which make oil within their walls, and tread their wine- presses, and suffer thirst. Bsa. 37:21.

And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and Say, We are delivered to do all these abomi- nations ? Jer, 9:4. Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. 5. And they will deceive every one his neigh- bour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity. 6. Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit: through deceit they refuse to know me, Saith the LORD. 8. Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his weight. Jer. 22:13.

Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the Scant measure that is abominable 2 11. Shall I count they pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights? Nah. 3:1. Woe to the bloody city it is all full of lies and robbery; Zeph. 1:9. In the same day also will I punish all those . . . which fill their master's houses with violence and deceit. Zech. 5:3. This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every One that stealeth shall be cut off (as on this side according to it; and every one that Sweareth shall be cut off as on that side ac- cording to it. 4. I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, . . . and it shall re- main in the midst of his house, and shall con- Sume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof. Luke 16:1. And he said also unto his dis- ciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. 2. And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou may- est be no longer steward. 3. Then the stew- ard said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stew- ardship : I cannot dig ; to beg I am ashamed. 4. I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. 5. So he called every one of his lord's debtors ºnto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord & 6. And he said, An hun- dred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and 3.15 IDISHONESTY. write fifty. 7. Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto bim, Take thy bill, and write fourscore. 8. And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely : for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. 1 Thess. 4:6.

And the LORD said unto Moses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believeme, for all the signs which I have shewed among them? 12. I will Smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they. 22. Because all those men which have Seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; 23. Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it: 24. But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went ; and his seed shall pos- sess it. Num. 32:8. Thus did your fathers, when I sent them from Kadesh-barnea to see the land. 9. For when they went up unto the valley. Of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, that they should not go into the land which the TORD had given them. 10. And the IORD's anger was kindled the same time, and he sware, saying, 11. Surely DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD. |none of the men that came up Out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob ; because they have not wholly followed me: 12. Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua, the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD. 13. And the LORD's anger was kindled against ISrael, and he made them wander in the wilder- ness forty years, until all the generation, that had done evil in the sight of the LORD, was consumed. Deut. 18:19. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. -- - Deut. 28:15. But it shall como to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his com- mandments and his statutes which I Com- mand thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: 16. Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. 17. Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. 18. Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 19. Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 20. The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me. 21. The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. 22. The LORD shall Smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew ; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish. 23. And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. 24. The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed. 25. The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them ; and shalt be re- moved into all the kingdoms of the earth. 26. And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away. 27. The LORD will Smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thout Canst not be healed. 28. The LORD shall Smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart : 29. And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shall not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed $4% 1) ISOBEDIENCE TO GOD.—DENUNCTATIONS AGAINST. and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. 30. Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein; thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof. 31. Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass s/hall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine en- emies, and thou shalt have none to rescue t/vem. 32. Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand. 33. The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up ; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway : 34. So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 35. The LORD shall Smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a SOre botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. 36. The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set Over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. 37. And thou shalt become an as- tonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee. 38. Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it. 30. Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them. 40. Thou shalt have Olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit. 41. Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into cap- tivity. 42. All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume. 43. The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high : and thou shalt come down very low. 44. He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him : he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. 45. Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice Of the TORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: 46. And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. 47. Because thou servedst not the IORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; 48. Therefore shalt thou serve thine ene- mies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in naked- ness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck until he have destroyed theo. 49. The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth ; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; 50. A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young: 51. And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the in- crease of thy kine, Or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee. 52. And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. 53. And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the IORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the strait- neSS, where with thine enemies shall distress thee: 54. So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave : 55. So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat : because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, where with thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. 56. The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for deli- cateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, 57. And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear : for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, where with thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. 58. If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fear- ful name, THE LORD THY GOD: 59. Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and Sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. 60. Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of ; and they shall cleave unto thee. , 61. Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. 62. And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou would- est not obey the voice of the LORD thy God. 63. And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; SO the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you and to bring you 817. DIS() BEL).

And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. 65. And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the Sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thée there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: 66. And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: 67. In the morn- ing thou shalt say, Would God it were even and at even thou shalt Say, Would God it were morning ! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 68. And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt See it no more again ; and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bond women, and no man shall buy yout.

When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive, 11. And Seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou would- est have her to thy wife; 12. Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails; 13. And she shall put the rainment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. 14. And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her. Deut. 24:1. When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that She find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then 818. DIVORCE. let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. 2. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife. 3. And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giv- eth it in her hand, and sendeth her Out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; 4. Her former hus- band, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is de- filed; for that is abomination before the LORD : and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. Ezra 10:1. Now when Ezra, had prayed, and when he had confessed, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there assembled unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and Women and children: for the people wept very sore. 2. And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, One of the sons of Elam, answered and Said unto Ezra, We have trespassed against Our God, and have taken strange wives of the people of the land: yet now there is hope in Israel concerning this thing. 3. Now therefore let us make a covenant with Our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the command- ment of our God; and let it be done accord- ing to the law. 4. Arise; for this matter belongeth unto thee: we also will be with thee: be of good courage, and do it. 5. Then arose Ezra, and made the chief priests, the Tevites, and all Israel, to swear that they should do according to this word. And they sware. 6. Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the cham- ber of Johanan the son of Eliashib : and At/en. he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water: for he mourned because of the transgression of them that had been carried away. 7. And they made proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children of the captivity, that they should gather themselves together unto Je- 1'usalem; 8. And that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the Counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and him- Self Separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away. 9. Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the peo- ple sat in the street of the house of God, frembling because of this mafter, and for the great rain. 10. And Ezra, the priest stood up, and said unto them, Ye have trans- gressed, and have taken strange wives, to in- crease the trespass of Israel. 11. Now there- fore make confession unto the TORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure: and sep- arate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives, 12. Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice, As thou hast said, so must we do. 13. But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to Stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two : for we are many that have transgressed in this thing. 14. Let now our rulers of all the Congregation stand, and let all them which have taken strange wives in Our cities come at appointed times, and with them the elders of every city, and the judges thereof, until the fierce wrath of Our God for this matter be turned from us. 15. Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the Son of Tikvah were employed about this mat- ter. and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite helped them. 16. And the children of the captivity did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain chief of the fathers, after the house of their fathers, and all of them by their names, were separated, and sat down in the first day of the tenth month to exam- ine the matter. Neh. 13:23. In those days also saw I Jews that had married wives of Ashdod, of Am- mon, and of Moab : 24. And their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews' language, but according to the language of each people. 25. And I contended with them, and cursed them, and Smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your Sons, or for yourselves. 26. Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin. 27. Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against Our God in marrying strange wives? 28. And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, at as son in law to Sanballat the Horonite: therefore I chased him from me. 29. Re- member them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood, and the covenant of the priesthood, and of the Levites. 30. Thus cleansed I them from all strangers, and ap- pointed the wards of the priests and the Le- vites, every one in his business: Jer. 3:1. They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man's, shall he return unto her again 2 shall not that land be greatly pol- luted ? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, Saith the TORD. - Mic. 2:9. The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever. Mal. 2:14. Yet ye say, Wherefore ? Be- cause the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously : yet is 319 -: DIVORCE. she thy companion, and the wife of thy cove- nant. 15. And did not he make one 3 Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one 2 That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. 16. For the LORD, the God of Israel, Saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. Matt. 5:31. It has been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32. But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery : and who- soever shall marry her that is divorced com- mitteth adultery. Matt. 19:3. The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause ? 4. And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5. And Said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife : and they twain shall be one flesh 7 6. Where- fore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 7. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away ? 8. He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the be- ginning it was not so. 9. And I Say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, ex- cept 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 unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. 11. But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. 12. For there are some eunuchs, which were So born from their mother's womb : and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men : and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. Mark 10:2. Luke 16:18. Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. 1 Cor. 7:10. And unto the married I com- mand, yet not I, but the Lord, Tet not the wife depart from her husband : 11. But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband : and let not the husband put away his wife. 12. But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother bath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with hin), let him not put DOCTRINES.–17ALSE. **** her away. 13. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. [4. For the unbelieving husband is Satıctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is Sanctified by the husband ; else were your children unclean ; but now are they holy. 15. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. 16. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband 2 or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt Save thy wife? 17.

Be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cun- Iling craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive: Col. 2:4. This I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. 8. Be- ware lest any man spoil you through philos- ophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 18. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19. And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. 20. Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 21. (Touch not ; taste not; handlenot; 22.Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men 2 23. Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the Satisfying of the flesh. 1 Tim. 1:3. As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedo- nia, that thou mightest charge Some that they teach no other doctrine, 4. Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do. 6. From which some having Swerved, have turned aside unto vain jangling; 7. Desiring to be teachers of the law ; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. 19. Holding faith and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 1. Tim. 4:1. Now the Spirit speaketh ex- pressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seduc- ing spirits, and doctrines of devils : 2. Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their Conscience Seared with a hot iron : 3. For- bidding to marry, and commanding to ab- stain from meats, 7. Refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 1 Tim. 6:3. If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godli- ness; 4. He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil Surmisings, 5. Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, Supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 20. O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoid- ing profane and vain babblings, and oppo- sitions of Science falsely so called : 21. Which Some professing have erred concerning the faith. 2 Tim. 2:14. Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them, before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 16. Shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 17. And their word will eat as doth a can- ker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18. Who concerning the truth have erred, Saying that the resurrection is past already; and Overthrow the faith of some. 2 Tim. 3:6. Of this sort are they which Creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lustS, 7. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8. As Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was. 13. Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 2 Tim. 4:3. Tit. 1:10. For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 11. Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. 14. Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. Tit. 3:10. A man that is an heretick after the first and Second admonition reject; 11. Rinowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. Heb. 13:9. Be not Carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been Occupied therein. 2 Pet. 2:1. There were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2. Many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3. Through covetousness shall, they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumber- eth not. 14. Beguiling unstable Souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous (21) 321 DOCTRINES.—FALSE. IDſ) OR practices; cursed children: 15. Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unright- eousness; 16. But was rebuked for his iniq- uity: 17. These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest: to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18. When they speak great Swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wanton- ness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: vs. 1–22. 1 John 4:3. And every spirit that confess- eth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come ; and even now already is it in the world. 2 John 7. Many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 9. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. 10. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11. For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. Jude 4. There are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old Ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our LOrd Jesus Christ. 11. Woe unto them for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for re- ward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. See MINISTERS, FALSE; SCHISM; TEACHERS, FALSE.

Not every one that Saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matt. 12:50. For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Luke 11:28. But he said, Yea, rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. Rom. 2:13. (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15. Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their con- Science also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing One another:) 2 Cor. 8:11. Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will, So there may be a performance also out of that which ye have. - Jas. 1:22. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass. 24. For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgettieth what man- ner of man he was. 25. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continu- eth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 26. If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. 27. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself un- spotted from the world. Jas. 4:11.

Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways 3 Job 9:16. If I had called, and he had an- Swered me: yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice. 17. For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multi- plieth my wounds without cause. 18. He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness. 19. If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judg- ment, who shall set me a time to plead? 20. If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn mo: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. 21. Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my Soul: I would despise my life. 22.

Until I Went into the sanctuary of God; Psa. 77:3. I remembered God, and was troubled : I Complained, and my spirit was Overwhelmed. 7. Will the Lord cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more ? 8. IS his mercy clean gone for ever ? doth his promise fail for evermore? 9.

Why Sayest thou, O Jacob, and Speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God? 28.

And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of IS- rael Out of Egypt : Ex. 4:1. And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee. 10. And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. 13. And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send. Ex. 5:22. And Moses returned unto the TORD, and said, Tord, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that ; thou hast sent me? 23. For since I came to Pharaoh to Speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this people; neither hast, thou de- livered thy people at all. Ex.6:12. And Moses spake before the TORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pha- raoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips? Ex. 14:10. And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid : and the chil- dren of Israel cried out unto the TORD. 11. And they saidunto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thoutaken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? 12. Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, Saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness. 15. And the LORD said unto Moses, Where- fore criest thou unto me? Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: Num. 11:21. And Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thou- sand footmen; and thou hast said, I will give them flesh, that they may eat a whole month. 22. Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them, to suffice them ? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to suffice them ? Judg. 6:13. And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, say- ing, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt; 2 but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Mid- ianites. 15. And he said unto him, Oh my TOrd, where with shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house. 1 Sam. 16:1. And the LORD said unto Sam- uel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, see- ing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will Send thee to Jesse the Beth-lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons. 2. And Samuel said, How can I go 2 if Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and Say, I am come to Sacrifice to the LORD. 1 Sam. 17:11. When Saul and all Israel heard those words of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly afraid. 24. And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fied from him, and were sore afraid. 1 Sam. 22:3. And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab; and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, 1 pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me. 4. And he brought them before the king of Moab; and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold. 1Kin.18:7. And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him : and he knew him, and fell. On his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah'? 8. And he answered him, I am : go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 9. And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me? 10. As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not. 11. And now thou Sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 12. And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not ; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth. 13. Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the TORD, how I hid an hundred men of the IORD's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water ? 14. And now thou Sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah às here : and he shall slay me. 1 Kin, 19:13. And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the en- tering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, 'What doest thou here, Elijah 2 14. And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken 324 DOUBTING. DOVE. thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the Sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. 15. And the LORD Said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wil- derness of Damascus; and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king Over Syria: 16. And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha, the Son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room. 17. And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay : and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Tlisha slay. 18. Yet, I have left me Seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him. 2 Kin. 13:18. And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed. 19. And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thoushouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt Smite Syria but thrice. Jer. 1:6. Then said I, Ah, Iord GOD 1 be- hold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. Jer. 32:24.

And thou hast said unto me, O Tord GOD, Buy thee the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. Lam. chapters 1–5. Matt. 8:23. And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. 24. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the Sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 25. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 26. And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith ? Then he arose, and re- buked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27. But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea, obey him Matt. 11:2. Now when John had heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, 3. And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another ? Matt. 14:29. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. 30. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, Saying, Lord, save me. 31. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? Matt. 17:14. There came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying, 15. Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lu- natick, and Sore vexed: for ofttimes he fall, eth into the fire, and oft into the water. 16. And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. 17. Then Jesus answered and Said, O faithless and perverse genera- tion, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. 18. And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. 19. Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, 'Why could not we cast him out $ 20. And Jesus Said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall Say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 21. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. Mark 9:14–29. Matt. 28:17. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. Mark 16:10.

Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been So long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip'; he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how Sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10. Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. Acts 9:13.

And if a man en- tice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. 17. If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money ac- cording to the dowry of virgins. Ruth 4:3. And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again Out of the COun- try of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's: 4. And I thought to advertise thee, Saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, re- deem it: but if thou wilt not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know : for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it. 5. Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. 6. And the kins- man said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it. 7. Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and con- cerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour: and this was a testimony in Israel. 8. Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe. 9. And Boaz said unto the elders, and wnto all the people, Ye are witnesses this day, that I have bought all that was Elime- lech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mah- lon's, of the hand of Naomi.

Then shall he say also unto them. On the left hand, Depart from me, ye Cursed, into ever- lasting fire, prepared for the devil, and his angels: 42. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43.

And he said unto him, Thou hast an- swered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 30. And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31. And by chance there came down a certain priest that Way: and when he saw him, he passed by On the Other side. 32. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 34. And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him ; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 36. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 37. And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then Said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou like- WISé.

Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of and he 330 EARTH.—CREATED BY GOD-DESTRUCTION OF. heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the Seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all ; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee. Psa. 90:2. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from ever- lasting to everlasting, thou art God. |Psa. 102:25. Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth : Psa. 115:15. Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. Psa. 146:6. Which made heaven, and earth, the Sea, and all that therein is: Prov. 8:22. The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. , 23. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. 24. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abound- ing with water. 25. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: 26. While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. Isa. 37:16. O TORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou &rt the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth : thou hast made heaven and earth. Isa. 45:18. For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it ; he hath es- tablished it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited : I am the LORD : and there is none else. Jer. 10:12. He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. Jer. 27:5. I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet untO me. Jer. 32:17.

He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding. John 17:24. Thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 2 Pet. 3:5. For this they willingly are igno- rant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water : Rev. 10:6. Sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the Sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer: Rev. 147. Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. BY CHRIST, John 1:3. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 10. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. Heb. 1:10. And, Thou, Lord, in the begin- ning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: See CREATION: GOD, CREATOR. DESTRUCTION OF : Psa. 102:25. Of Old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. 26. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure; yea, all of them shall wax old like a gar- ment ; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: 27. But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. Heb. 1:10–12. Isa. 24:19. The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly. 20. The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and Shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it ; and it shall fall, and not rise again. Isa. 51:6. Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. - Matt. 5:18. Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matt. 24:3. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him pri- vately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 14. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 29. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the pow- ers of the heavens shall be shaken : 30. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31. And he shall send his angels with a great Sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from One end of heaven to the other. 35. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38. For as in the days that were before the flood they were 331 EARTH. EDOM. eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39. And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away ; SO shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Mark 13:24–37; Luke 21:26–36. 2 Pet. 3:10. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fer- vent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being On fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat 3 13. Never- theless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Rev. 20:11. And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. Rev. 21:1.

Elders, with delegated powers, were authorized to act for their constituency, Deut. 1:13,15. See GOVERNMENT, MOSAIC. IN THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH : ACts 11:29. Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea : 30. Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul. Acts 14:23. And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. Acts 15:2. When therefore Paul and Bar- Inabas had no small dissension and disputa- tion with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. [v. 4..] 5. But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to com- mand them to keep the law of Moses. 6. And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. 7. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gos- pel, and believe. 8. And God, which know- eth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 9. And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 10. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither Our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11. But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be Saved, even as they. 12. Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gen- tiles by them. 13. And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: 14. Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take Out of them a people for his name. 15. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, 16. After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down ; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: 17. That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gen- tiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. 18. Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. 19. Wherefore my Sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: 20. But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. 21. For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day. 22. Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas Surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren: 23. And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Anti- och and Syria and Cilicia: 24. Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went 334 ELDER. ELECTION. out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law : to whom we gave no such commandment : 25. It seemed good unto us, being assembled with One accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26. Men that have hazarded their lives for the name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 27. We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. 28. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 29. That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from formi- cation: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. vs. 1-35. Acts 16:4. And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem. 5. And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily. Acts 20:17. And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called the elders of the church. 28. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. 29. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away dis- ciples after them. 31. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every One night and day with tears. 32. And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are Sanctified. - Acts 21:18. And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. 1 Tim. 4:14. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the pres- bytery. 1 Tim. 5:17. Tet the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, espe- cially they who labour in the word and doc- trine. 18. For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. 19. Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three wit- tleSSéS. Tit. 1:5. For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: 6. If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or un- ruly. 7. For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8. But a lover of hos- pitality, a lover of good men, Sober, just, holy, temperate; 9. Holding fast the faith- ful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by Sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. Heb. 11:2. For by it the elders obtained a good report. Jas. 5:14. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church ; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord : 15. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up ; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 1 Pet. 5:1. The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a wit- ness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2. Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly ; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind ; 3. Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 4. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 5. Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. 2 John 1. The elder unto the elect lady and her children, 3 John 1.

Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. 21. Ye moun- tains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, nei- ther let there be rain, upon you, nor fields of offerings: for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with Oil. 22. From the blood of the slain, from the fat of the mighty, the bow of Jon- athan turned not back, and the Sword of Saul returned not empty. 23. Saul and Jon- athan were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not di- vided : they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions. 24. Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on Ornaments of gold upon your apparel. 25. How are the mighty fallen in the midst of the battle ! O Jonathan, thout wast slain in thine high places. 26. I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me : thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women. 27. How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of war perished On Abner: 2 Sam. 3:33. And the king la- mented over Abner, and Said, Died Abner as a fool dieth ? 34. Thy hands were not bound, nor thy feet put into fetters: as a man fall- eth before wicked men, so fellest thou. And all the people wept again over him. See the BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS.

Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them : for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and have also stolen, and dissembled also, and they have put it even among their own stuff. 12. Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, bºtt turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you. 13. Up, Sanctify the people, and Say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow : for thus Saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.

Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are Avot his days also like the days of an hireling 3 2. As a servant earnestly desir- eth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work: 3. So am I made to possess months of vanity and wearisome nights are appointed to me. Job 14:1. Man that is born of woman is of few days, and full of trouble. 6. Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accom- plish, as an hireling, his day. - Matt. 20:1. For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labour- ers into his vineyard. 2. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4. And said unto them ; GO ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 5. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. 6. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others stand- ing idle, and Saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle 2 7. They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, GO ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye re- Geive. 8. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, be- ginning from the last unto the first. 9. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 10. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more ; and they likewise received every man a penny. 11. And when they had received 7t, they murmured against the goodman 12. Saying, These last have wrought but One hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. 13. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong : didst not thou agree with me for a penny ? 14. Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. 15. Is it not lawful for me to worthy of his 339 EMPLOYEE. EMPLOYER. do what I will with mine own 2 Is thine eye evil, because I am good 7 Matt. 21:33. Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country: 3 p. And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his Servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. 35. And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another. 36. Again, he sent other servants more than the first : and they did unto them likewise. 37. But last of all he sent unto them his Son, Say- ing, They will reverence my son. 38. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize On his inheritance. 39. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. 40. When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41. They say, unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto Other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their SeaSOns. John 10:12. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. KINDNESS TO: Ruth 2:4. And, behold, Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said unto the reapers, The LORD be with you. And they answered him, The LORD bless thee. Luke 15:17. And when he came to him- self, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 19. And am no more worthy to be called thy Son: make me as one of thy hired servants. OPPRESSIONS OF : Prov. 22:16. He that oppresseth the poor to increase his riches, and he that giveth to the rich, shall Surely come to Want. - Mal. 3:5. And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift, witness against . . . those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, Luke 15:15. And he went and joined him- self to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat ; and no man gave unto him. Jas. 5:4. Behold, the hire of the labour- ers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard. 2. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vine- yard. 3. And he went Out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, 4. And Said unto them ; GO ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 5. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. 6. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and Saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? 7. They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatso- ever is right, that shall ye receive. 8. So when even was come, the lord of the vine- yard Saith unto his steward, Call the labour- ers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. 9. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 10. But when the first came, they supposed 340 EMPLOYER.

Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia, ; 2. How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. 3. For to their power, I bear record, yea, and, beyond their power they were willing of themselves; 4. Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon was the fellowship of the ministering to the Saints. 5. And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God. 6. Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also. 7. Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowl- edge, and ºn all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. 8. I speak not by commandment, but by Occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love. 2 Cor. 9:1. For as touching the minister- ing to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: 2. For I know the forward- ness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath pro- voked very many. 3. Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready: 4. Lest haply if they of Mace- donia come with me, and find you unpre- pared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting. 5. Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.

For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. 33. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. 34. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest : for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 36. Beye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Rom. 12:14. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 20.

I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not : lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, Strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: Gal. 5:19.

Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you be- fore, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 26. Let us not be de- Sirous of vainglory, provoking one another, envying one another. 1 Tim. 6:4. Doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil Surmisings, 5. Perverse dis- putings of men of corrupt minds, and des- titute of the truth, Supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. Tit. 3:3. We Ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living inmalice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. Jas. 3:14.

NONE, FROM THE JUDG- MENTS OF GOD: Gen. 3:7. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. 9. And the TORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10. And he said, Iheard thy voice in the garden, and Iwasafraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 11. And he said, Who told thee that thou was naked ? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat 3 Gen. 4:9. And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not : Am I my brother's keeper? 10. And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. 11. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand. Job 34:21. For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. 22. There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hido themselves. Isa. 10:3.

And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? 1 Thess. 5:2. For yourselves know, perfect- ly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruc- tion cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not es- Cape. Heb. 2:2. For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 3. How shall we escape, if we neg- lect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; Heb. 12:25. See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who re- fused him that spake on earth, much more shall Avot we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26. Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. Bev. 6:15. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and tº.e rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16. And said to the moun- tains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath. Of the Lamb : 17.

NOW the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, Saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? 18. And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and Say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my dis- ciples. 19. And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them ; and they made ready the passover. 20. Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. 21. And as they did eat, he said, Verily I Say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. , 22. And they were exceeding Sorrowful, and be- gan every one of them to say unto him, T.Ord, is it I? 23. And he answered and Said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. 24. The Son of man goeth as it is written of him : but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed it had been good for that man if he had not been born. 25. Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and Said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. 26. And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and Said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27. And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, Say- ing, Drink ye all of it; 28. For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. 30. And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. Mark 14:22–24; Luke 22:19,20; John 13:1–4. Luke 13:26. Then shall ye begin to Say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. Acts 2:42. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 46. And they, continuing daily with one accord 346 EUCHARIST EVIDENCE. in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47. Praising God, and having favour with all the people. Acts 20:7. And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow ; and con- tinued his speech until midnight. 1 Cor. 10:16. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ 2 The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ Ž 17. For we being many are one bread, and One body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. 21. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. 22. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy % are we stronger than he? 1 Cor. 11:20. When ye come together there- fore into One place, this is not to eat the Lord's Supper. 21. For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken. 22. What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in 3 or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not ? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not. 23. For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: 24. And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and Said, Take, eat : this is my body, which is broken for you : this do in remembrance of me. 25. After the same manner also he took the cup, when had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. 26. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. 27. Wherefore whoso- ever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28. Butlet a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 29. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. 30. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. 31. For if we would judge Ourselves, we should not be judged. 32. But when we are judged, we are chas- tened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. 33. Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another. 34. And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in Order when I come. EUNICE, Timothy's mother, 2 Tim.1:5. See Acts 16:1. EUODIAS, a Christian woman of Phi- lippi, Phil. 4:2. EUNUCH. Matt. 19:12.

Keep thee far from a false matter ; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not : for I will not justify the wicked. Lev. 5:1. And if a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and is a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it, if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity. Lev. 24:14. Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp ; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him. Num. 35:30.

The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. Deut. 19:15. One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. 16. If a false witness rise up º any man to testify against him that which is wrong ; 17. Then both the men, between whom the con- troversy is, shall stand before the LORD, be- fore the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days; 18. And the judges shall make diligent inquisition : and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath tes- tified falsely against his brother; 19. Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother : So shalt thou put the evil away from among you. 20. And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you. 21. And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. Prov. 24:28.

And Achan answered Joshua, and Said, Indeed I have sinned against the LORD God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done: 21. When Isaw among the spoils a goodly Baby- lonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them ; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it. See WITNESS; FALSE WITNESS; ACCUSA- TION, FALSE: SELF-CRIMINATION. EVIL, APPEARANCE OF, TO BE AWOID- ED: Rom. 14:1. Him that is weakin the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 2. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not ; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth : for God hath re- ceived him. 4. Who art thou that judgest another man's Servant 2 to his own master he standeth Or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up : for God is able to make him stand. 5. One man esteemeth One day above another: anotheresteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6. He that regardeth the day, regard- eth it unto the Lord ; and he that re- gardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 7. For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to him- self. 8. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the LOrd’s. 9. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 10. But why dost thou judge thy brother ? or why dost thou Set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11. For it is written, As I live, Saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 13. Let us not therefore judge one another any more : but judge this rather, that no man put a stum- blingblock Or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. 14. I know, and am per- suaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15. But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 16. Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18. For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 19. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things where with one may ed- ify another. 20. For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. 21. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is of fended, Or is made weak. 22. Hast thou faith ? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. 23. And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth, not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. 1 Cor. 8:7. Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with con- Science of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their con- science being weak is defiled. 8. But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 9. But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's be- come a stumblingblock to them that are weak, 10. For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him 348 EVIII. EXAMPLE. which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 11. And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 12. But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sim against Christ. 13. Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. 1 Cor. 10:28. But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: 29. Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience? 30. For if I by grace be a par- taker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks : 31. Whether there- fore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32. Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gen- tiles, nor to the church of God: 33. Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be Saved. 1 Thess. 4:11. Study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your Own hands, as we commanded you ; 12.

Ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me: Jer. 17:1. The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a dia- mond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars; 2. Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills. Ezek. 20:18. But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walkyenotin the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judg- ments, nor defile yourselves with their idols: HOS. 4:9. And there shall be, like people, like priest : and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. 15. Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, get let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor swear, The LORD liveth. Hos. 5:5. And the pride of Israel doth tes- tify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them. Zech. 1:4.

But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become a 349 EXAMPLE.—GOOD. stumblingblock to them that are weak. 10. For if any man see thee which hath knowl- edge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 11. And through thy knowl- edge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 12. But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, yesin against Christ. 13. Where- fore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. 1 Cor. 10:6. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Eph. 4:17. This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their nmind, 3 John 11. Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doethevil hath not seen God. See INFLUENCE. G00D, Neh. 5:8. And I said unto them, We, after our ability, have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to dºn- swer. 9. Also I said, It is not good that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen Our enemies? 10. I likewise, and my breth- ren, and my Servants, might exact of them money and corn : I pray you, let us leave Off this usury. 11. Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vine- yards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them. 12. Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; SO will we do as thou Sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this prom- ise. 13. Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performethnot this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the peo- ple did according to this promise. 14. More- Over from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that 7s, twelve years, Iand my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor. 15. But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their serv- ants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of God. 16. Yea, also I continued in the work of this wall, neither bought we any land: and all my servants Abere gathered thither unto the work. 17. Moreover there were at my table an hundred and fifty of the Jews and rulers, beside those that came unto us from among the heathen that are about us. 18. Now that which was prepared for me daily was one Ox and six choice sheep ; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people. 19. Think upon me, my God, for good, ac- cording to all that I have done for this people. Psa. 101:2. I will walk within my house with a perfect heart. 1 Thess. 1:6. And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: 7. So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia, and Achaia. 8. For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia, and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spreadabroad; SO that we need not to speak any thing. 1Tim. 4:12. Let no man despise thy youth : but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Tit. 2:7. In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine Shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, 8. Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to Say of you. - |Heb. 13:7. Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation: Jas. 5:10. Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. 11. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the pa- tience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. 1 Pet. 2:11. Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the Soul: 12. Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. 13. Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the TOrd’s sake: whether it be to the king, as Supreme ; 14. Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punish- ment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. 15. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolishmen: 16. As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of ma- liciousness, but as the servants of God. 17. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. 18. Servants, 350 TºxAMPLE.—GOD, OUR—CHRIST, OUR. be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. 19. For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 20. For what glory Žs it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently 3 but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, yetake it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 21. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth : 23. Who, when he was reviled, re- viled not again ; when he suffered, he threat- ened not ; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 24. Who his own Self bare our sins in his own body On the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 25. For ye were as sheep going astray: but are now returned unto the Shep- herd and Bishop of your souls. 1 Pet. 3:5. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in Sub- jection unto their own husbands: 6. Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord : whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amaze- ment. 1 Pet. 5:3. Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. See INFLUENCE. GOD, OUR : Lev. 11:44. For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy ; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Lev. 19:2. Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for I the LORD your God amº holy. Matt. 5:48. Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Luke 6:36. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Eph. 6:9. And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening : knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him. CHRIST, OUR : Mark 10:43. But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: 44. And whosoever of you will be the chief- est, shall be servant of all. 45. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Matt. 20:28. Luke 22:27. For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth ? is not he that sitteth at meat 3 but I am among you as he that serveth. John 13:13. Ye Call me Master and DOrd: and ye say well; for so I am. 14. If I then, gour Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also Ought to wash one another's feet. 15. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 16. Verily, verily, I Say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord ; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. 17. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. 34. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one an- Other. IRom. 15:2. Tet every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. 3. For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is Written, The reproaches of them that re- proached thee fell on me. 4. For whatso- ever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. 5. Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6. That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7. Wherefore receive ye One another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. 2 Cor. 8:9. For ye know the grace of our Tord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your Sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. With COntext. - 2 Cor. 10:1.

And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetSmelling savour. Phil. 2:5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men ; 8. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became Obedient unto death, even the death of the CI’OSS. Col. 3:13. Forbearing one another, and for- giving One another, if any man have a quar- rel against any : even as Christ forgave you, So also do ye. Heb. 12:2.

For consider him that endured such contradic- tion of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. I Pet. 2:21. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should fol- low his steps: i Pet. 3:17. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than 351 EXAMPLE. EXCUSES. for evil doing. 18. Tor Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit : 1 Pet. 4:1. Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from SIn ; - 1 John 2:6. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 1 John 3:16. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life forus: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. Rev. 3:21.

Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. 1 Cor. 7:7. For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. 8. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I. 1 Cor. 11:1. Beye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. Phil. 3:17. Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. Phil. 4:9. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. 2 Thess. 3:7. For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not our- selves disorderly among you; 8. Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: 9. Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. 10. For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 1 Tim. 1:16. Howbeit for this cause I Ob- tained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter be- lieve on him to life everlasting. 2 Tim. 1:13.

And the LORD God Said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The Serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. Ex. 4:1. And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The LORD hath not appeared unto thee. 10. And Moses said unto the LORD, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor Since thou hast spoken unto thy servant : but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. 11. And the LORD Said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth ? Or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? 12. Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say. 13. And he said, O my Lord, send, I pray thee, by the hand of him, whom thou wilt send. 14. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against MOSes, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother ? I know that he can speak well. Ex. 32:22. And Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord wax hot : thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief. 23. For they said unto me, Make us gods, which shall go before us: for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 24. And I said unto them, Whosoever hath any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it me: then I cast it into the fire, and there came Out this calf. Deut. 30:11. For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off. 12. It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it 2 13. Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the Sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it? 14. But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it. Judg. 6:12. And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour. 13. And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Tord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, say- ing, Did not the IORD bring us up from Egypt 3 but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites. , 14. And the LORD looked upon him, and Said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hands of the Midianites: have not I sent thee ? 15. And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, where with shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house. 16. And the TORD Said un- to him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt Smite the Midianites as one man. 17. 352 EXCUSES. EXPEDIENCY. And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me. 1 Kin. 19:19. So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oacer, before him, and he with the twelfth : and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20. And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, GO back again: for what have I done to thee ? 21. And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instru- ments of the oxen, and gave unto the peo- ple, and they did eat. Then he arose, * went after Elijah, and ministered unto IIIYl. 2 Kin. 5:10. And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, Saying, Go and wash in Jordan Seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. 11. But Naaman was Wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come Out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand Over the place, and recover the leper. 12. Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Is- rael ? may I not wash in them, and be clean 2 So he turned and went away in a rage. 13. And his servants came near, and Spake unto him, and said, My father, ºf the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it 2 how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean Ž 14. Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. Jer. 1:1. The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Ana- thoth in the land of Benjamin : 4. Then the word of the TORD came unto me, saying, 5. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou Camest forth Out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. 6. Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD ! behold, I cannot speak : for I am a child. 7. But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 8. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee Saith the LORD. 9. Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the IORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words into thy mouth. 10. See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. Matt. 8:21. And another of his disciples Said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Luke 9:59. And he said unto another, Fol- low me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 60. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 61. And another also said, Lord, I will fol- low thee; but let me first go bid them fare- well, which are at home at my house. 62. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Tuke 14:18. And they all with one consezzt began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 19. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them : I pray thee have me excused. 20. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. Acts 24:25. And as he reasoned of right- eousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Co thy way for this time; when I have a con- venient season, I will call for thee. Rom. 1:20. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: ROm. 2:1. Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest : for wherein thou judgest another, thou con- demnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the Same things.

I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15. But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. T)estroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 16. Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17. For the king- dom of God is not meat and drink; but right- eousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18. For he that in these things Serv- eth Christ is acceptable to God, and ap- proved of men. 19. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. 20. For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. 21. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stum- Gen. 11:2. (23) 353 EXPEDIENCY. EXTORTION. bleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22. Hast thou faith ? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. 1 Cor. 6:12. All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Cor. 8:8. But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 9. But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become a stumbling- block to them that are weak. 10. For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the con- science of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 11. And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died ? 12. But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 13. Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. - . 1 Cor. 9:19. For though I be free from all Amen, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. 20. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are un- der the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; 21. To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. 22. To the weak be- came I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means Save some. 23. And this fio fºr the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. 1 Cor. 10:23. All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. 24. Tet no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. 25. Whatsoever is sold in the Shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake: 26. For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. 27. If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for con- Science sake. 28. But if any man say unto you, Thisis offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his Sake that shewed it, and for con- Science Sake: for the earth is the flord's, and the fulness thereof: , 29. Conscience, I say, not thine Own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man’s con- Science? 30. For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? 31. Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32. Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: 33. Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. See EVIL, APPEARANCE OF, TO BEAVOIDED : PRUDENCE. .

Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; 3. Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron. Matt. 23:25. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and €XCéSS. - Luke 18:11. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, un- just, adulterers, or even as this publican. 1 Cor. 5:10. Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covet- ous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, Or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 1 Cor. 6:10. Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortion- ers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. See USURY.

As the LORD thy God liveth,there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not. Jer. 26:21. And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death: but when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt; 22. And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the Son of Achbor, and certain men with him into Egypt. 23. And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; Acts 9:2. And desired of him letters to Da- mascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem. 14. And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name. Acts 22:5. As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusa- lem, for to be punished.

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall re- ceive. Mark 9:23. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24.

Believest thou this? 27. She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world. Acts 3:16. And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye See and know : yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect Soundness in the presence of you all. Acts 13:48. As many as were ordained to eternal life believed. Acts 26:18. That they may receive forgive- ness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Rom. 1:16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto Salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17. For therein is the righteousness of God re- vealed from faith to faith : as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Rom. 4:1. What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found 2 2. For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereoſ to glory; but not before God. 3. For what Saith the Scripture ? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7. Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9. Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. 10. How was it then reck- oned ? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision ? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. 11. And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteous- ness of the faith which he had yet being un- circumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not cir- cumcised; that righteousness might be im- puted unto them also: 12. And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the Steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. 13. For the promise, that he should be the heir Of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his Seed, through the law, but through the right- eousness of faith. 14. For if they which are Of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: 15. Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. 16. Therefore it ?s of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham ; who is the father of us all, 17. (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy Seed be. 19. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb : 20. He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21. And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22. And there- fore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him ; 24. But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25. Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for Our justification. Rom. 5:1. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ : Rom. 9:31. But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; 33. As it is written, Behold, Ilay in Sion a stumbling- stone and rock of Offence: and whosoever believeth. On him shall not be ashamed. Rom. 10:6. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7. Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the 357 FAITH. dead.) 8. But what saith it 3 The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart : that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation. Rom. 11:20. Because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. , 23. They also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in : Rom. 15:13. The God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. 1 Cor. 1:21. It pleased God by the foolish- ness of preaching to save them that believe. 1 COr. 2:5. Your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 1 Cor. 12:8. To one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9. To another faith by the same Spirit; 2 COr. 1:24. Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand. Gal. 3:1. O foolish Galatians, who hath be- witched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2. This only would I learn of you, Re- ceived ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith ? 3. Are ye so fool- ish 8 having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 4. Haveye suffered so manythings in vain? if it be yet in vain. 5. He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth, he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith ? 6. Even as Abraham be- lieved God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the chil- dren of Abraham. 8. And the scripture,fore- Seeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all na- tions be blessed. 9. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 10. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. 13. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14. That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. 15. Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's Covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man dis- annulleth, or addeth thereto. 16. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. 17. And this I say, that the cove- nant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. 18. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abra- ham by promise. 19. Wherefore then serveth the law Ż It was added because of transgres- sions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made ; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. 20. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is One, 21. Is the law then against the prom- ises of God? God forbid : for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. 22. But the Scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. 23. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24. Wherefore the law was Our Schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justi- fied by faith. 25. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 26. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female : for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Gal. 5:22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, good- ness, faith, Eph. 2:8. By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph. 6:16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, where with ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. - Col. 1:23. If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, Col. 2:12. Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 1. Thess, 2:13. When ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. 1 Thess. 5:8. Putting on the breastplate of faith and love; 2 Thess. 2:13. God hath from the begin- ning chosen you to Salvation through sanc- 858 FAITH. tification of the Spirit and belief of the truth : 1 Tim. 1:5. The end of the commandment is charity Out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: 19. Hold- ing faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 1 Tim. 2:15. She shall be Saved in Child- bearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. 1 Tim. 4:10. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 1 Tim. 6:11. Follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, . . . 12. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thouart also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 17. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 2 Tim. 4:7. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith : 8. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day : and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. Heb. 4:1. Let us therefore fear, lest,a prom- ise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them : but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3. For we which have be- lieved do enter intorest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shallenter into my rest : although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5. And in this place again, If they shallenterinto my rest. 6. Seeing there- fore it remaineth that some must enter there- in, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief : 7. Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 8. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 9. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the Same exam- ple of unbelief. Heb. 6:1. Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 7. For the earth which drink- eth in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 12. That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. 18. That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Heb. 10:35. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 38. Now the just shall live by faith : but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39. But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition ; but Of them that believe to the saving of the SOU11. Heb. 11:1. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2. For by it the elders obtained a good re- port. 3. Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, So that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 6. But without faith it is impossible to please him : for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that dili- gently seek him. : Heb. 13:5. He hath Said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Jas. 1:6. But let him ask in faith, mothing Wavering. Jas. 2:1. My brethren, have not the faith of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2. For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment ; 3. And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 4. Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and, are become judges of evil thoughts? 5. Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him 2, 6. But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? 7. Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called 2 8. If ye fulfil the royal law accord- ing to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9. But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgress- ors. 10. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11. For he that said, Do not com- mit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12. So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. 13. For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth 359 FAITH.— ENJOINED. against judgment. 14. What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works ; can faith save him 3 15. If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16. And one of you Say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit 2 17. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead 2 21. Was not Abraham Our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar Z 22. Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect 2 23. And the Scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith Only. 25. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had re- ceived the messengers, and had sent them. out another way? 26. For as the body with- out the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. 1 Pet. 1:5. Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto Salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 7. The trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ : 9. Receiving the end of your faith, even the Salvation of you? souls. 21. Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God. 1 Pet. 3:5. The holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in Subjection unto their own husbands: 1 John 3:21. Beloved, if our heart condemn § not then have we confidence toward OCl. 1 John 5:4.

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow ; they toil not, neither do they spin : 29. And yet I say unto you, That even Sol- Omon in all his glory was not arrayed like One of these, 30. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith ? 31. Therefore take no thought,” Saying, What shall we eat ž Or, What shall we drink? or, Where withal shall we be clothed? 32.

Yet I will rejoice in the TORD, I will joy in the God of my salva- tion. 19. The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds' feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. Zeph. 3:12. An afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD. Luke 1:38. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me ac- cording to thy word. Duke 7:50. And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath Saved thee; go in peace. John 3:33. He that hath received his testi- mony hath set to his seal that God is true. Acts 16:34. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house. Acts 24:14. But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, So worship I the God of my fathers, believ- ing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: 15. And have hope toward God, . . . that there shall be a resur- rection of the dead, both of the just and un- just. Acts 27:25. I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me. Rom. 8:18. I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be com- pared with the glory which shall be re- vealed in us. 28. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called accord- ing to his purpose. 38. I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor prin- cipalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus Our Lord. Rom. 15:29. I am Sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. 1 Cor. 9:26. I therefore so run, not as un- certainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 2 Cor. 1:10. Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us; 2 Cor. 4:8. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9. Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 13. We hav- ing the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 16. For which cause we faint not ; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: 2 Cor. 5:7. (We walk by faith, not by sight:) Gal. 5:5. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. Phil. 1:19. For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20. According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. 21. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 1 Tim. 4:10. We both labour and suffer re- proach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 2 Tim. 1:12. For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 2 Tim. 2:11. It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with hºn. 12. If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13. If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. - Heb. 10:34. For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the Spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. Heb. 11:4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 5. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not See 367 FAITH.—INSTANCES OF. death; and was not found, because God had translated him : for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. 7. By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, pre- pared an ark to the Saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and be- came heir of the righteousness which is by faith. 8. By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10. He looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 41.Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. 13. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14. For they that Say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 16. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly ; where- fore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. 17. By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac : and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18. Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19. Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. 20. By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. 21. By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the Sons of Joseph; and worshipped, Zeaning upon the top of his staff. 22. By faith JOSeph, when he died, made mention Of the departing of the children of Israel: and gave commandment concerning his bones. 23. By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's com- mandment. 24. By faith Moses, when he was COme to years, refused to be called the Son of Pharaoh's daughter; 25. Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a Season; 26. Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recom- pence of the reward. 27. By faith he for- SOOk Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king : for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 28. Through faith he kept the passOver, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 29. By faith they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. 30. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about Seven days. 31. By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had re- ceived the spies with peace. 32. And what shall I more say ? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Sam- Son, and of Jephthae ; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: 33. Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34. Quenched the vio- lence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed Valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. 35. Women received their dead raised to life again ; and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: 36. And others had trial of cratel mockings and Scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and im- prisonment : 37. They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented ; 38. (Of whom the world was not worthy :) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. 39. And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise : Heb. 13:14. Here have we no continuing city, but we seek One to come. 2 Pet. 3:13. We, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, where- in dwelleth righteousness. 1 John 4:16. We have known and believed the love that God hath to us.

Whosoever hear- eth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock : 25. And the rain de- Scended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not : for it was founded upon a rock. Duke 6:46–49. Matt. 8:2. And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make mé clean. 13. As thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. Matt. 9:22. But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. 29. Then touched he their eyes, say. ing, According to your faith be it unto you. Matt. 11:6. Blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. 28. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart : and ye shall find rest unto your Souls. , 30. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matt. 14:27. Jesus spake unto them, say- ing, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. John 6:20. - Matt. 15:28. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith : be it unto thee even as thou wilt. Matt. 17:7. Jesus came and touched them, and Said, Arise, and be not afraid. Mark 9:23.

And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; goin peace. Luke 8:50. When Jesus heard it, he an- Swered him, saying, Fear not : believe only, and she shall be made whole. Mark 5:36. Luke 17:6. If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might Say unto this syca- mine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the Sea; and it should Obey you. Luke 18:42. Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee. John 1:12. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his Ila, Iſle : John 3:14. And as Moses lifted up the ser- pent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up : 15. That whosoever be- lieveth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that who- SOever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 18. He that be- lieveth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 36. He that believeth On the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth On him. John 6:47. John 5:24. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth. On him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. John 6:29. This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 35. He that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on meshall neverthirst. 45. Every mantherefore that hath heard,and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. John 7:38. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shallflow rivers of living water. John 9:35. Jesus . . . said unto him, Dost thou believe On the Son of God? John 11:25. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the liſe: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 40. Said I not unto thee, that, if thou would- est believe, thou shouldest see the glory of GOd? John 12:36. While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of 44. Jesus cried and said, He that be- lieveth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. 46. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. John 13:7. What I do thou knowest not now ; but thou shalt know hereafter. 20. He that receiveth whomsoever I send re- ceiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiv- eth him that Sent me. (24) *369 FAITH.—IN CHRIST. John 14:1. Det not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 11. Or else believe me for the very works' sake. 12. He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. John 16:27. For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have be- lieved that I came out from God. 33. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. John 18:37. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. - John 20:27. And be not faithless, but be- lieving. 29. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast be- lieved: blessed are they that have not Seen, and yet have believed. 31. But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believ- ing ye might have life through his name. Acts 3:16. His name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye See and know : yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. Acts 10:43. To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of SII].S. Acts 15:9. And put no difference between usand them, purifying their hearts by faith. 11. But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. Acts 16:31. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be Saved, and thy house. - Acts 20:21. Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward Our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts. 26:18. That they may receive forgive- ness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Bom. 3:22. Even the righteousness of God Qohich is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24. Being justified freely by his grace through the re- demption that is in Christ Jesus: 25. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26. To declare, I say, at this time his right- eousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 27. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law 3 of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds Of the law. Rom. 9:33. As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Rom. 10:4. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 9. If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Gal. 2:16. Knowing that a man is not jus- tified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, Gal. 3:1. O foolish Galatians, who hath be- witched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2. This only would I learn of you, Re- ceive ye the Spirit by the works of the law, Or by the hearing of faith ? 3. Are ye so fool- ish 3 having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 4. ‘Have ye suf- fered so many things in vain? If it be yet in vain. 5. He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith ? 6. Even as Abra- ham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7. Know ye there- fore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 10. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that contin- ueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. 12. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. 13. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14. That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. , 15. Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be con- firmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. 16. Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. 17. And this I Say, that the covenant, that was con- firmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. 18. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise. 19. Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgres- sions, till the seed should come to whom the 370 FAITH.—IN CHRIST, ExEMPLIFIED. promise was made; and it (gas Ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. 20. Now a mediator is not a mediator of One, but God is one. 21. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. 22. But the Scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. 23. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24. Wherefore the law was Our Schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a Schoolmas- ter. 26. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Gal. 5:6. In Jesus Christ neither circum- cision availeth any thing, nor uncircumci- sion; but faith which worketh by love. Eph. 1:12. That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your Salva- tion: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of prom- ise. 14. Which is the earnest of our inherit- ance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Eph. 3:12. In whom we have boldness and | access with confidence by the faith of him. 17. That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith: Eph. 4:13. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ : Phil. 3:9. Not having mine own righteous- ness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteous- ness which is of God by faith: Col. 2:7. Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, 1 Tim. 1:16. Howbeit for this cause I Ob- tained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter be- lieve on him to life everlasting. 2 Tim. 1:13. In faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Tim. 2:1. Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 Tim. 3:15. From a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. Heb. 4:16. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may ob- tain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Heb 6:19. Which hope we have as an anchor of the Soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Heb. 10:22. Det us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, Heb. 12:2. DOOking unto Jesus the author and finisher of Ottº faith ; Heb. 13:7. Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, 1 Pet. 1:8. In whom, though now ye see hºmº not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 1 Pet. 2:6. Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth. On him shall not be confounded. 7. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: Isa. 28:16. 2 Pet. 1:1. Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ : 1 John 3:23. This is his commandment, That we should believe On the name of his Son Jesus Christ, 1 John 5:4. This is the victory that over- cometh the world, even our faith. 5. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of GOd? 10. He that believeth. On the Son of God hath the witness in himself: . . . 13. Unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son Of GOd. 14. This is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: Jude 21. Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. Tev. 1:17. Fear not ; I am the first and the last : - Rev. 3:18. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, . . . 20. Behold, 1 stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. IN CHRIST, EXEMPLIFIED: Matt. 8:2.

Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, Saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. Matt. 15:27.

Simon answering Said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing : nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. Luke 7:3. And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, be- seeching him that he would come and heal his servant. 4. And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, Saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this: 5. For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. 6. Then Jesus went with them. And when he was now not far from the house, the centurion Sent friends to him, saying unto him, Lord, trou- ble not thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof: 7. Where- fore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee; but Say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. 8. For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I Say unto One, Go, and he go- eth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 9. When Jesus heard these things, he mar- velled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I Say unto you, I have not found SO great faith, no, not in Israel. Matt. 8:5–10. Luke 23:42. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. John 4:29. Come, See a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ 2 42. Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him our- selves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. John 6:14. Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, Said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. 68. Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go 3 thou hast the words of eternal life. 69. And we be- lieve and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. John 7:31. And many of the people be- lieved on him, and said, When Christ Com- eth, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? John 10:41. Many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. 42. And many believed on him there. John 11:21. Martha said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 22. But I know, that even now, what- soever thou wilt ask of God, God will give Žt thee. 27. I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world. v. 32. John 16:30. Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. John 20:28. Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. - Acts 8:37. I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. - Acts 11:17. God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ : |ROm. 7:24. O wretched man that I am | who shall deliver me from the body of this death ? 25. I thank God through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Rom. 8:35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ' shall tribulation, or dis- treSS, Or persecution, or famine, or naked- ness, Or peril, or sword 7 37. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 2 Cor. 12:9. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake : Gal. 2:20. I am crucified with Christ : nev- ertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Phil. 4:13. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 1 Tim. 1:14. The grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Tim. 1:12. I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 2 Tim. 4:18. The LOrd shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: INSTANCES OF FAITH IN CHRIST : The wise men of the east, Matt. 2:1,2,11.

I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Matt. 13:19. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catch- eth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. 20. But he that received the seed into Stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it: 21. Yet hath he not root in himself, but dur- eth for a while : for when tribulation or per- secution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22. He also that received Seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. Luke 8:13,14. Matt. 24:21. For then shall be great tribu- lation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 23. Then if any man shall Say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; be- lieve it not. 24. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25. Behold, I have told you before. 2 TheSS. 1:3. We are bound to thank GOd always for you, brethren, as it is meet, be- cause that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth : 4. So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 5. Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: Heb. 6:13. For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, 14. Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multi- plying I will multiply thee. 15. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. Jas, 1:3. Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 12. Blessed Žs the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 1 Pet. 1:7. That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ : See TEMPTATION.

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season ? 46. Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. Tuke 12:42—44. Matt. 25:14. For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15. And unto One he gave five talents, to another two, and to another One : to every man according to his several ability ; and straightway took his journey. 16. Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. 17. And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. 18. But he that had re- ceived one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money. 19. After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 20. And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou de- liveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. 21. His lord said unto him, Well done, thout good and faithful servant : thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 22. He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two Other talents beside them. 23. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful Servant ; thou hast been faithful Over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Tuke 19:12–27. Luke 16:10. He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much : and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. 11.

And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden & 2. And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the gar- den : [Gen. 2:16.] 3. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, 'Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. [Gen. 2:17.] 4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die : 5. For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, 6. And 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 took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 7. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the gar- den in the cool of the day : and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. 9. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10. And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 11. And he said, Who told thee that thou 70 (1st naked ? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat 2 12. And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13. And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done 2 And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 14. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and betweenthy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 16. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly mul- tiply thy sorrow and thy conception: in Sor- row thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. 17. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast, hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy Sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18. Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19. In the sweat of 374 FAILL OF MAN.

When he speaketh fair, be- lieve him not : for there are seven abomina- tions in his heart. 26. Whose hatred is COV- ered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. 28. A lying tongue hateth those that are afflict- ed by it : Prov. 27:14. He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morn- ing, it shall be counted a curse to him. Eccl. 5:6. Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? Isa.28:15. Because ye have said, 'We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing Scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: Isa. 32:7. The instruments also of the churl 376 FALSEHOOD.—INSTANCES OF. are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right. Isa. 57:11. Of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? Isa. 59:3. Your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 4. None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth : they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth in- iquity. 12. For our transgressions are mul- tiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; 13. In transgressing and lying against the IORD, and departing away from our God, Speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of false- hood. Isa. 63:8. He said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie : Jer. 7:8. Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. 28. Truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth. Jer. 9:3. They bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth ; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD. 5. They will deceive every One his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity. 6. Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit: through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD. 8. Their tongue 7s as an arrow shot out ; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait. Jer. 12:6. Even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; yea, they have called a multitude after thee : believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee. Jer. 50:36. A sword is upon the liars; and they shall dote: Ezek. 22:9. In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood : and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness. Hos. 4:1. The LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth . . . in the land. 2. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and steal- ing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. Obad. 7. The men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, Mic. 6:12. The inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth. Nah. 3:1. Woe to the bloody city it is all full of lies and robbery; Zeph. 3:13. The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth : for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. Matt. 25:44. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, Or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45. Then shall he answer them, Saying, Verily I Say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. John 8:44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Eph. 4:25. Putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: 29, Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. Col. 3:9. Die not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds: 1 Tim. 1:9. The law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and dis- obedient . . . 10. For liars, for perjured perSOns, 1 Tim. 4:2. Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience Seared with a hot IrOn : 1 Pet. 3:16. Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. Rev. 21:8. Allliars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brim- Stone: 27. And there shall in no wise enter into it [the holy city] any thing that . . . maketh a lie. Bev. 22:15. Without are dogs, . . . and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. See ACCUSATION, FALSE: CONSPIRACY; DE- CEIT : DECEPTION: FALSE WITNESS; FLAT- TERY: HYPOCRISY; PERJURY: TEACHERs, FALSE.

Pass the time of your sojourn- ing here in fear: 1 Pet. 3:2. Your chaste conversation coupled with fear. 15. Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear : 1 John 4:16. And we have known and be- lieved the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwell- eth in God, and God in him. 17. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment : because as he is, so are we in this world. 18. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth Out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. Rev. 11:18.

And thou shalt set bounds un- to the people round about, Saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye go ºvot up into the mount, or touch the border of it: who- soever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death : 13. There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet Sound- eth long, they shall come up to the mount. Heb. 12:18. For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, 19. And the Sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more : 20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so ºnuch as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, Or thrust through with a dart : 21.

He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword. 23. He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, 386 FEAR OF GOD.—A MOTIVE OF OBEDIENCE. Where is it 2 he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. 24. Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle. 25. For he stretcheth Out his hand against God, and strengtheneth him- self against the Almighty. Job 18:11. Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to lais feet. Prov. 1:24. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded ; 25. But ye have Set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26. I also will laugh at your calamity ; I will mock when your fear com- eth; 27. When your fear cometh as deso- lation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind: when distress and anguish com- eth upon you. Prov. 10:24. The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him : Dam. 5:6.

A MOTIVE OF OBEDIENCE: Lev. 19:14. Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD. 32. Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and hon- our the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD. Lev. 25:17. Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God. 36. Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. 43. Thou shalt not rule Over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God. Num. 32:15. For if ye turn away from aft- er him, he will yet again leave them in the wilderness; and ye shall destroy all this people. Deut. 6:13. Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name. 14. Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you; 15. (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth. Deut. 7:4. For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee Sud- denly. Deut. 8:5. Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. 6. There- fore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. Deut. 10:12. And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, 13. To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I com- mand thee this day for thy good? 20. Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name. - Deut. 13:4. Ye shall walk after the TORD your God, and fear him, and keep his com- mandments, and obey his voice, and yeshall serve him, and cleave unto him. 6. If thy brother, the Son of thy mother, or thy son, orthy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee Secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, northy fathers; 7. Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; 8. Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him: neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, nei- ther shalt thou conceal him : 9. But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and aft- erwards the hand of all the people. 10. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt,from the house of bondage. 11. And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you. Deut. 14:23. And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always. T)eut 15:9. Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, sº The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand: and thine eye be evil against thy poor broth- er, and thou givest him nought ; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee. Deut. 17:11. According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and ac- cording to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not de- cline from the Sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left, 12. And the man that will do presumptu- ously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel. 13. And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more pre- Sumptuously. 387 FEAR OF GOD.—A MOTIVE OF OBEDIENCE. Deut. 19:16. If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that adhich is wrong; 17. Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days; 18. And the judges shall make diligent in- quisition: and, behold, ºf the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; 19. Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: So shalt thou put the evil away from among you. 20. And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any Such evil among you. Deut. 21:18. If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them : 19. Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place ; 20. And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebel- lious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. 21. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. Deut. 28:14. And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after Other gods to serve them. 15. But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his command- ments and his statutes which I command thee this day ; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: 16. Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. 17. Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. 18. Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 19. Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 20. The TORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexa- tion, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be de- stroyed, and until thou perish quickly ; be- cause of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me. 21. The T.ORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. 22. The LORD shall Smite thee with a con- Sumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burn- ing, and with the Sword, and with blasting, and with mildew ; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish. 23. And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. 24. Thº, LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust : from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed. 25. The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine, enemies: thou shalt go Out One way against them, and flee Seven ways be- fore them : and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. 26. And thy Carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away. 27. The LORD will Smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. 28. The LORD shall Smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart: 29. And thou shalt grope at noon- day, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. 30. Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof. 31. Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them. 32. Thy Sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand. 33. The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway: 34. So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 35. The LORD shall Smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a SOre botch that cannot be healed, from the Sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. 36. The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known ; and there shalt thou serve Other gods, wood and stone. 37. And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee. 38. Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in ; for the locust shall consume it. 39. Thou shalt plant vine- yards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them. 40. Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine Olive shall cast his fruit. 41. Thou shalt beget sons and daugh- ters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity. 42. All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume. 43. The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high , and thou shalt come down very low. 44. He 388 REAR OF GOD.—A MOTIVE OF OBEDIENCE. shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him : he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. 45. Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his 3ommandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: 46. And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever, 47. Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyful- ness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; 48. Therefore shalt thou Serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. 49. The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth ; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand; 50. A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young : 51. And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee. 52. And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. 53. And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the Siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee : 54. So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his chil- dren which he shall leave : 55. So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat : because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, where with thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. 56. The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole Of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her Son, and toward her daughter, 57. And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her Children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, where with thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. 58. If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fear- ful name, THE LORD THY GOD: 59. Then the LORD will make thy plagues won- derful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and SOre Sicknesses, and of long continuance. 60. Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of ; and they shall cleave unto thee. 61. Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. , 62. And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God. 63. And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will re- joice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought ; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. 64. And the LORD shall Scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. 65. And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: 66. And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: 67. In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even I and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning ! for the fear of thine heart where with thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 68. And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bond women, and no man shall buy 7/()?!. 4/ Deut. 31:11. When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. 12. Gather the people together, men, and women, and children, and thy Stranger that Žs within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law : 13. And that their children, which have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the TORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. Josh. 23:11-16. 1 Sam. 12:24. Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you. 25. But if ye shall still do wickedly, ye shall be consumed, both ye and your king. vs. 14,15. . . Job 13:21. Withdraw thine hand far from ma: and let not thy dread make me afraid. 389 FEAR OF GOD.

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 2 Pet. 3:10. The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night ; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11.

For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow : but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. 11. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? 12. And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a three- fold cord is not quickly broken. s Amos 3:3.

Be perfect, be of good com- fort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. 1 John 1:3. Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 5. God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6. If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walkin darkness, we lie, and do not the truth : 7. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellow- ship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanSethus from all sin. 1 John 3:24.

At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 21. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will mani- 391 FELLOWSHIP. —OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. am – fest myself to him. 22. Judas Saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23. Jesus answered and Said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. John 15:4. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more Can ye, except ye abide in me. 5.

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. vs. 1–8. John 17:21. That they all may be one ; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them ; that they may be one, even as we are One: 23. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one ; 26. I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it : that the love where with thou hast loved me may be in them, and Iin them. Rom. 7:4. My brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. Psa. 45: 9–16; Song, chapters 1–8. |Rom. 8:1. There is therefore now no con- demnation to them which are in Christ Je- sus, 10. If Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 17.

Thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root andfatness of the olive tree: Rom. 12:5.

Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ & 17. He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 1 Cor. 10:16. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ Ž 1 Cor. 12:12. As the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body : SO also Žs Christ. 27. Nowye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 2 Cor. 11:2. Ihave espoused you to one hus- band, that I may present you as a chaste vir- gin to Christ. 2 Cor. 13:5. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates ? Eph. 5:30. We are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 32.

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mys- tery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Col. 3:3. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in GOd. 1 Thess. 5:9. God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by Our Lord Jesus Christ, 10.

If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Fa- ther. 28. Little children, abide in him ; that, when he shall appear, we may have confi- dence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 1 John 3:6. Whosoever abideth in him sin- neth not : 24. He that keepeth his command- ments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. 1 John 4:13. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 1John 5:12. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 20. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an under- standing, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. 2 John 9. He that abidethin the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. |Bev. 3:20. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock : if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. See COMMUNION. OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: Rom. 89.

Matt. 17:4. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three taberna- cles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and One for Elias. Matt. 20:25. But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. 26. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27. And whoSO- ever will be chief among you, let him be your servant : 28. Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Matt. 23:8. But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. Mark 10:42. But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gen- tiles exercise lordship over them ; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. 43. But So shall it not be among you : but who- soever will be great among you, shall be your minister: 44. And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. 45. For even the Son of man came not be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Luke 22:32. When thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. Luke 24:13. And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 14. And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15. And it came to pass, that, while they com- muned together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. John 13:34. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one an- other. John 15:12. Thisis my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. John 17:11. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine OWn name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 21. That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the World may believe that thou hast Sent me. 22. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them ; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in One; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. Acts 1:14. These all continued with One accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. Acts 2:1. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one ac- cord in One place. 42. And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fel- lowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 44. And all that believed were to- gether, and had all things common; 45. And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46. And they, continuing daily with one ac- cord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with glad- ness and singleness of heart, 47. Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. Acts 17:4. And some of them believed, and Consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few. Acts 20:35. I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye Ought to Support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Pom. 1:12. That is, that I may be com- forted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. Rom. 14:1. Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 2. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not ; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath re- ceived him. 4. Who art thou that judgest another man's servant 2 to his own master he standeth Or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up : for God is able to make him stand. 10. But why dost thou judge thy brother? Or why dost thou set at nought thy brother ? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 13. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stum- blingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. 14. I know, and am per- suaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth anything to be unclean, to him it Žs unclean. 15. But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not chari- tably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for 393 FELLOWSHIP.—OF THE RIGHTEOUS. whom Christ died. 16. Tet not then your good be evil spoken of: for the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteous- ness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18. For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 19. Tet us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things where with one may edify another. 20. For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with Offence. 21. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stum- bleth, or is offended, or is made weak. Bom. 15:1. We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2. Let every One of us please his neighbour for his good to edifica- tion. 3. For even Christ pleased not him- self; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. 4. For whatsoever things were written afore- time were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scrip- tures might have hope. 5. Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded One toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6. That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 7. Where- fore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. 1 Cor. 1:10. Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all Speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 1 Cor. 10:16. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ'? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ 2 17. For we being many are one bread, and One body: for we are all partakers of that One bread. 1 Cor. 12:13. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into One body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Cor. 16:19. The churches of Asia, salute you. Aquila and Priscilla Salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. 20. All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss. Gal. 2:9. And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. Gal. 6:2. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 10. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. Eph. 2:14. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15. Hav- ing abolished in his flesh the enmity, ever, the law of commandments contained in Or- dinances; for to make in himself of twain One new man, so making peace; 16. And that he might reconcile both unto God in One body by the cross, having slain the en- mity thereby : 17. And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the Saints, and of the household of God; 20. And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21. In whom all the building fitly framed to- gether groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord ; 22. In whom ye also are builded to- gether for an habitation of God through the Spirit. Eph. 5:2. And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a SweetSmelling savour. 19. Speaking to your- Selves in psalms and hymns and spiritual Songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord ; 30. For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. Phil. 1:3. I thank my God . . . 5. For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now ; 27. Only let your conversa- tion be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striv- ing together for the faith of the gospel; Phil., 2:1. If there be therefore any conso- lation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2. Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being Of one accord, of one mind. - Col. 2:2. That their hearts might be com- forted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of under- standing, to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; Col. 3:16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and ad- monishing one another in psalms and hymns and Spiritual Songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 1 Thess. 4:18. Comfort One another with these words. 1 Thess. 5:11. Comfort yourselves together, and edify One another, even as also ye do. 14. We exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, Support the weak, be patient toward all mem. Heb. 3:13. Exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hard- ened through the deceitfulness of sin. Heb. 10:24. Let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25. Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves 394 FELLOWSHIP-WITH THE WICKED. together, as the manner of Some is; but ex- horting one another: Heb. 13:1. Det brotherly love continue. Jas. 5:16. Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. 1 Pet. 2:17. LOve the brotherhood. 1 Pet. 3:8. Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9. Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 1 John 1:3. That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: 7. If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fel- lowship one with another, 1 John 3:14. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1 John 4:7. Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we Ought also to love one another. 12. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. See COMMUNION OF SAINTS. WITH THE WICKED : Gen. 49.6. O my soul, come not thou into their secret ; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united : Ex. 33:15. And he said unto him, If thy | presence go not with me, carry us not up hence. 16. For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight 2 is it not in that thou goest with us? So shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. Ex. 34:13. But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves: 14. For thou shalt worship no other god : for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, Žs a jealous God: 15. Lest thou make a cov- enant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do Sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice; [Deut. 31:16,17.] 16. And thou take of their daughters unto thy Sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods. Num. 25:1. And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. 2. And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their Ods: and the people did eat, and bowed own to their gods. 3. And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. 4. And the LORD Said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the Sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel. 5. And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baal-peor. 6. And, behold, one of the children of Is- rael came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congrega- tion. 7. And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; 8. And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman Josh. 23:12. Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and goin unto them, and they to you : 13. Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out dºwy of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye per- ish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you. Ezra 6:21. And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and all such as had separated themselves unto them from the filthiness Of the heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, did eat, 22. And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: Ezra 9:14. Should we again break thy com- mandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst con- sumed us, so that there should be no rem- nant nor escaping ? Psa. 6:8. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity ; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. Psa. 26:4. I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. 5. I have hated the congregation of evil doers: and will not sit with the wicked. Fsa. 50:18. When thou Sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. Psa. 102.7. I watch, and am as a Sparrow alone upon the housetop, with vs. 6 8. Prov. 28:19. He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough. chapter 12:11. Prov. 29:24. Whoso is partner with a thief hateth his own soul: he heareth cursing, and bewrayeth it not. 1 Cor. 5:11. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covet- ous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, 395 FELLOWSHIP.—WITH or an extortioner; with Such an One no not to eat. 1 Cor. 15:33. Be not deceived : evil com- munications corrupt good manners. 2 Pet. 2:18. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through match wanton- ness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the Same is ſhe brought in bondage. 2 Pet. 3:17. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

WITH THE WHCRED FORBIDDEN : Ex. 23:32. Thou shalt make no Covenant with them, nor with their gods. 33. They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me : for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare unto thee. Ex. 34:12. Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a Snare in the midst of thee: Judg. 2:2. Num. 16:26. And he spake unto the con- gregation, Saying, Depart, I pray you, from the tents of these wicked men, and touch nothing of their's, lest ye be consumed in all their sins. Deut. 7:2. And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt Śmite them, and utterly destroy them ; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: 3. Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. 4. For they will turn away thy Son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the TORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly. Deut. 12:30; Ezra 9:1,2. Deut. 13:6. If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own Soul, entice thee Secretly, say- ing, Let us go and Serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, northy fathers; 7. Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth ; 8. Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him: neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him : 9. But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and after- wards the hand of all the people. 10. And thou shalt stone him with Stones, that he THE WICKED FORBIDDEN. die ; because he hath Sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 11. And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among yOu. Josh. 23:6. Heye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left: 7. That ye come not among these na- tions, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them : 13. Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you ; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you. Ezra 9:12. Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your sons, nor Seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever. Ezra 10:11. Now therefore make confes- sion unto the TORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives. |Psa. 1:1. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand- eth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Prov. 1:10. My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. 11. If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: 12. Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit : 13. We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: 14. Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: 15. My son, walk not thou in the way with them ; refrain thy foot from their path: Prov. 4:14. Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil ºne?. 15. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. |Prov. 9:6. Forsake the foolish, and live ; and go in the way of understanding. Prov. 14.7. Go from the presence of a fool- ish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. Matt. 18:17. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church : but if he neg- lect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. Rom. 16:17. Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and of- fences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 1 Cor. 5:9. Iwrote unto youin an epistlenot 396 FELLOWSHIP. FIGHT OF FAITH. to company with fornicators: 10. Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covet- ous, oran idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner ; with such an One no not to eat. 2 Cor. 6:14. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellow- ship hath righteousness with unrighteous- ness 2 and what communion hath light with darkness? 15. And what concord hath Christ with Belial' or what part hath he that be- lieveth with an infidel? 16. And what agree- ment hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them, ; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye Separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing ; and I will receive you, Eph. 5:11. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 2 Thess. 3:6. Now we command you, breth- ren, in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ,that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. 14. And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15. Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother. 1 Tim. 6:3. If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, evey, the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godli- ness; 4. He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and striſes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5. Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, Supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 2 Tim. 3:2. For men shall be lovers of their Own Selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blas- phemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3. Without natural affection, truce- breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God : 5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2. Pet. 3:17. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the Wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 2 John 9. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into g/our house, neither bid him God speed. 11. For he that biddeth him God speed is par- taker of his evil deeds. Rev. 18:1. And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, hav- ing great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 2. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul Spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 4. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come Out of her, my people, that ye be not par- takers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Lev. 5:15. If a Soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the LORD ; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estima- tion by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering: 16. And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest : and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him. Lev. 6:5. Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely ; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering. 6. And he shall bring his tres- pass offering unto the LORD, a ram with- out blemish out of the flock, with thy es- timation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest : Prov. 6:30. Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hun- gry: 31. But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. See DAMAGES.

For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would Soon take me away. Psa. 5:8. Lead me, O LORD, in thy right- eousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. 9. For there is no faithfulness in their mouth : their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre: they flatter with their tongue. Psa. 12:2. They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. 3. The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, Psa. 5:9. Psa. 36:2. For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. Psa. 49:13. This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. 18. Men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. Prov. 6:24. Tºsa. 78:36. Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. Prov. 5:3. For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is Smoother than Oil: |Prov. 7.5. That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger whic/ flattereth with her words. 21. With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. Prov. 14:20. The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends. - Prov. 19:4. Wealth maketh many friends; 6. Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts. Prov. 20:19. Meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips. Prov. 22:16. He that giveth to the rich, shall Surely come to want. Prov. 24:24. He that Saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people Curse, nations shall abhor him : Prov. 25:26. A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring. Prov. 26:28. A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it ; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin. Prov. 27:21. As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; SO is a man to his praise. Prov. 28:23. He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. Prov. 29:5. A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. Dan. 11:21. In his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom ; but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. 34. Many shall cleave to them with flatteries. Luke 6:26. Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you ! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. Gal. 1:10. Do I seek to please men 2 for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the serv- ant of Christ. 1 Thess. 2:4. But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 5. For neither at 399 FLATTERY. any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness: God is witness: 6. Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, Jude 16.

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bear- ing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat ; and it was so. Gen. 9:3. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. Gen. 48:15. And he blessed Joseph, and Said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day, Psa. 23:5. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup run- neth Over. Psa. 103:5. Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. Psa. 104:14. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service Of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; 15. And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. Psa. 111:5. He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his covenant. Psa. 136:25. Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psa.145:15. The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due SeaSOIl. Psa. 147:9. He giveth to the beast his food, (tººd to the young ravens which cry. Prov. 30:8. Feed me with food convenient for me: Isa. 3:1. For, behold, the Tord, the TORD of hosts, doth takeaway from Jerusalem and from Judah the stay and the staff, the whole stay of bread, and the whole stay of water, Matt. 6:11. Give us this day our daily bread. Rom. 14:14. I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing un- clean of itself: but to him that esteemeth anything to be unclean, to him it is un- clean. 21. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 1 Tim. 4:3. Commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be re- ceived with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4. For every Creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5. For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 400 FOOD.—THINGS PROHIBITED. THINGS PROHIBITED AS FOOD : Ex. 22:31. And ye shall be holy men unto me: neither shall ye eat any flesh that is torn of º in the field; ye shall cast it to the OgS. Lev. 11:1. And the LORD spake unto Mo- Ses and to Aaron, saying unto them, 2. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. 3. Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. 4. Neverthe- less these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 5. And the coney, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 6. And the hare, because he chew- eth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he 7s unclean unto you. 7. And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven- footed, yet he cheweth not the cud: he is un- clean to you. 8. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch : they aré unclean to you. 9. These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the Seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. 10. And all that have not fins and scales in the Seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which Žs in the waters, they shall be an abomina- tion unto you : 11. They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination. 12. Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you. 13. And these are they which ye shall have in abomina- tion among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination : the eagle, and the Ossifrage, and the Ospray, 14. And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; 15. Every raven after his kind; 16. And the owl, and the nighthawk, and the cuckoo, and the hawk after his kind, 17. And the little Owl, and the cormorant, and the great Owl, 18. And the swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, 19. And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. 20. All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you. 21. Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon al/ four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; 22. Even these of them ye may eat ; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshop- per after his kind. 23. But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. 24. And for these ye shall be unclean : whosoever touch- eth the carcase of them shall be unclean un- til the even. 25. And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his - ~~ clothes, and be unclean until the even. 26. The carcases of every beast which divid- eth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be un- clean. 27. And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whoso toucheth their carcase shall be un- clean until the even. 28. And he that bear- eth the carcase of them shallwash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are un- clean unto you. 29. These also shall be un- clean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind, 30. And the ferret, and the chameleon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. 31. These are unclean to you among all that creep : whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean unto the even. 32. And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatso- ever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be unclean until the even ; SO shall it be cleansed. 33. And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. 34. Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean : and all drink that may be drunk in every such ves- sel shall be unclean. 35. And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean ; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you. 36. Nevertheless a fountain or pit where???, there is plenty of water, shall be clean : but that which toucheth their car- case shall be unclean. 37. And if any part of their carcase fall upon any SOwing seed which is to be Sown, it shall be clean. 38. But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you. 39. And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even. 40. And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even : he also that bear- eth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. 41. And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten. 42. Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abom- ination. 43. Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby, 44. For I am), the LORD your God; ye shall therefore Sanctify yourselves, and (26)." 401 FOOD. FOOL. ye shall be holy ; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that Creepeth upon the earth. 45. For I am the LORD that bring- eth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God : ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. 46. This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth: 47. To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten. Deut. 14. Lev. 17:13. And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that Sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten ; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. 14. For it Žs the life of all flesh ; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh : for the life of all flesh às the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off. 15. And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be One of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe / inn- self in water, and be unclean until the even : then shall he be clean. FOOL. Psa. 5:5. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight : thou hatest all workers of iniquity. Psa. 14:1. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psa. 53:1. Psa. 74:18. The foolish people have blas- phemed thy name. 22. Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the fool- ish man reproacheth thee daily. Psa. 107:17. Fools because of their trans- gression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Prov. 1:7. The fear of the LORD is the be- ginning of knowledge: but fools despise wis- dom and instruction. 22. How long, ye sim- ple ones, will ye love simplicity ? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge 3 Prov. 3:35. Shame shall be the promotion of fools. - Prov. 9.6. Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding. 7. He that reproveth a Scorner getteth to himself shame; and he that rebuketh a wicked man. getteth himself a blot. 8. Reprove not a SCOrmer, lest he hate thee : rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. 13. A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing. 14. For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city, 15. To call pas- Sengers who go right on their ways: 16. Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither : and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, 17. Stolen waters are Sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant. Prov. 10:1. A foolish Son is the heaviness of his mother. - 8. A prating fool shall fall. v. 10. - 13. A rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding. 14. Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction. 18. He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. 23. It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: Prov. 14:1. Every wise woman buildeth her house; but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. 7. Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge. 8. The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way : but the folly of fools is deceit. 9. Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour. 15. The simple believeth every word : Prov. 15:7. The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish do- eth not SO. 20. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother. 21. Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom ; but a man of understanding walk- eth uprightly. Prov. 17:24. Wisdom is before him that hath understanding; but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth. 25. A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him. Prov. 18:2. A fool hath no delight in un- derstanding, but that his heart may dis- cover itself. 6. A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes. 7. A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the Snare of his soul. Prov. 19:13. A foolish son is the calamity Of his father ; and the contentions of a wife are a continual dropping. Prov. 20:3. It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling. Prov. 21:20. There is treasure to be de- sired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up. Prov. 26:3. A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back. 4. Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. 5. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his Own conceit. 6. He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage. 7. The legs of the lame are not equal ; SO is a parable in the mouth of fools. 8. As he that bindeth a stone in a sling, so is he that giveth honour to a fool. 9. As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools. - 10. The great God that formed all things both rewardeth the fool, and rewardeth transgressors. 402 FOOL. FORGIVENESS. 11. As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly. 12. Seest thou a man wise in his own con- ceit * there is more hope of a fool than of him. Prov. 29:9. If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. 11. A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. Eccl. 4:5. The fool foldeth his hands to- gether, and eateth his own flesh. Eccl. 7:9. Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. Eccl. 10:11. Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment ; and a babbler is no better. 12. The words of a wise man's mouth &re gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. - - 13. The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. 14. A fool also is full of words: a man Can- not tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him 3 15. The labour Of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city. Matt. 7:26. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house ; and , it fell: and great was the fall of it. Tit. 3:3. For we Ourselves also were some- times foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating One another.

If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him. - Prov. 19:11. The discretion of a man de- ferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass Over a transgression. Prov. 24:17. Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth : 29. Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me : I will render to the man according to his work. Prov. 25:21. If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat ; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: 22. For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee. Rom. 12:20. Eccl. 7:21. Take no heed unto all words that are spoken ; lest thou hearthy servant Curse thee: Matt. 5:7, Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 39. Resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41.

But I Say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45. That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46.

If ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you : 15. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matt. 18:21. Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin 403 TORGIVENESS. FORM. against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22. Jesus saith unto him, I Say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven... 23. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his Serv- ants. 24. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. 25. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. 26. The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 27. Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave |. him the debt. 28. But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowserv- ants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Payme that thou owest. 29. And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have pa- tience with me, and I will pay thee all. , 30. And he would not : but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 31. So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. 32. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I for- gave thee all that debt, because thou de- siredst me: 33. Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 34. And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. 35. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts for- give not every one his brother their tres- passes. Mark 11:25. When ye stand praying, for- give, if ye have ought against any : that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. V. 26. Tuke 6:35. Love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest : for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. 36. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. 37. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: Condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Luke 17:3. Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him ; and if he repent, forgive him. 4. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and Seven times in a day turn again to thee, Saying, I repent ; thou shalt forgive him. Matt. 18:21,22. Rom. 12:14. Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 17. Recompense to no man evil for evil. 19. Avenge not your- selves, but rather give place unto wrath : for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 21. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. 1 Cor. 4:12. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: 13. Being defamed, we intreat. Eph. 4:32. Be ye kind one to another, ten- derhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Col. 3:13.

IN RELIGIOUS SERVICE: 1 Chr. 15:13. For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD Our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order. 14. So the priests and the Levites Sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God. Of Israel. 2 Chr. 29:34. But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offer- ings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified them- Selves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests. IRREGULARITY IN : 2 Chr. 30:2. H'Or the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month. 3. For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem. 4. And the thing pleased the king and all the con- gregation. 5. So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-Sheba, even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem : for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written. 17. For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to Sanctify them unto the 404 FORM. FORMALISM. LORD. 18. For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issa- char, and Zebulun, had not cleansed them- Selves, yet did they eat the passover other- wise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one 19. That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fa- thers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary. 20. And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people. Matt. 12:3. But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; 4. How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? See CHURCH AND STATE. FORMALISM. 1 Sam. 15:22. And Sam- uel Said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. Psa. 50:8. I will not reprove thee for thy Sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me. 9. I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. 10. For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thou- Sand hills. 11. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. 12. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. 13. Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? 14. Offer unto God thanksgiving ; and pay thy vows unto the most High : 15. And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me. Psa. 51:16. For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Psa. 69:30. I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. 31. This also shall please the TORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs. Eccl. 5:1. Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. Isa. 1:11. To what purpose is the multi- tude of your sacrifices unto me? Saith the TORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I de- light not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. 12. When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 13. Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and Sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot aWay with ; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 14. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my Soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. 15. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you : yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. Isa. 29:13. Wherefore the Lord said, For- asmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: , 14. Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise one?” shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. 15. Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who Seeth us? and who knoweth us? 16. Surely your turn- ing of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not ? Or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding? Jer. 6:20. To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country' your burnt offer- ings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices Sweet unto me. Jer. 14:12. When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offer- ing and an oblation, I will not accept them : but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence. |Hos. 6:6. For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Amos 5:21. I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your Solemn assemblies. 22. Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them : neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. 23. Take thou away from me the noise of thy Songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. Mic. 6:6. Where with shall I come before the IORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old 2 7. Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my trans- gression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? Mal. 1:6. A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? Saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name? 8. And if ye offer the blind for Sac- rifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts, 405 TORMATISM. 10. Who is there even among you that would shut the doors for nought 2 neither do ye kindle fire on mine altar for nought, I have no pleasure in you, Saith the LORD of hosts, neither will I accept an offering at your hand. 13. Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it / and ye have Snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought th/ſt 70/vic/, was torm, and the lame and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? Saith the LORD. 14. But cursed be the deceiver, which hath in his flock a male, and voweth, and sac- rificeth unto the Lord a corrupt thing: for I am a great King, saith the LORD of hosts, and my name is dreadful among the heathen. Matt. 9:13. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacri- fice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Matt. 12:7. But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacri- fice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. Matt. 15:8. This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. Luke 13:24. Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25. When once the master of the house has risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, Saying, Lord, Lord, Open unto us; and he shall answer and Say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: 26. Then shall ye be- gin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in Our streets. 27. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. Rom. 2:17. Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, 18. And knowest his will, and ap- provest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law ; 19. And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, 20. An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. 21. Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preach- est a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22. Thou that Sayest a man should not com- mit adultery, dost thou commit adultery thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit Sacrilege? 23. Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dis- honourest thou God? 24. For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. 25. For cir- Gumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, FoRTY. thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. 26. Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision ? 27. And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law § 28. For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29. But he is a Jew, 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. 1 Cor. 7:19. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. Phil. 3:4. Though I might also have con- fidence in the flesh. If any other man think- eth that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more : 5. Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6. Concern- ing zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blame- less. 7. But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 2 Tim. 3:1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false ac- cusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4. Traitors, heady, high- minded, lovers of pleasures more than lov- ers of God ; 5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. See WORKS. FORNICATION. See ADULTERy; LAS- CIVIOUSNESS. FORT, a military defense.

If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: 8. But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him Sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth. 9. Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The Seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought ; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee. 10. Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him : because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. , 11. For the poor shall never cease Out of the land : therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. 12. And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee. 13. And when thou Sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty : 14. Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him. 15. And thou shalt remem- ber that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day. Psa. 22:22. I will declare thy name unto my brethren: Psa. 133:1. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity 2. It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3. As the dew of Hermon, and as the deat, that descended upon the mountains of Zion : for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for €VēI’IY).OI’e. - Zech. 11:14. Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. Mal. 2:10. Have we not all One father ? hath not one God created us ; why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, Matt. 5:22. Whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 23. There- fore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24. Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Matt. 18:15. Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone : if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee One or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church : but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. 18. Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 21. Then came Peter to him, and Said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him 2 till seven times 3, 22. Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Dntil seven times: but, Until seventy times Seven. 35. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts 407 FRATERNITY. forgive not every one his brother their tres- passes. Matt. 23:8. But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. - Matt. 25:40. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I Say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. John 13:34. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love One another. Chapter 15:12. John 20:17. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not ; for I am not yet ascended to my Father : but go to my brethren, and Say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Rom. 12:10. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour pre- ferring one another ; 1 Cor. 6:1. Daré any of you, having a mat- ter against another, go to law before the un- just, and not before the Saints? 2. Do ye not know that the Saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3. Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4. If then ye have judg- ments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 5. I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you ? no, not one that shall be able to judge be- tween his brethren? 6. But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the un- | believers. 7. Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? Why do ye not rather suffer your- selves to be defrauded ? 8. Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your breth- I’G]]. - 1 Cor. 8:1. Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowl- edge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 2. And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3. But if any man love God, the same is known of him. 4. As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but One. 5. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 6. But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 7. Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol: and their conscience being weak is defiled. 8. But meat commendeth us not to God; for TRAUD. neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 9. But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 10. For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's tem- ple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 11. And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother per- ish, for whom Christ died ? 12. But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their Weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 13. Wherefore, if meat make my brother to Offend, I will eat no flesh while the world Standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. Gal. 6:1. Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an One in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2. Bear ye One another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. - 1 Thess. 4:9. But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you : for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. 2Thess. 3:14. And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15. Yet count him not as an en- emy, but admonish him as a brother. Heb. 13:1. Let brotherly love continue. 1 Pet. 1:22. Seeing ye have purified your Souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 1 Pet. 2:17. TOve the brotherhood. 1 Pet. 3:8. Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 2 Pet. 1:5. Add . . . 7. . . . To godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kind- ness charity. 1 John 2:9. He that Saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 10. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occa- Sion of stumbling in him. 11. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walk- eth in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. . 1 John 3:17.

If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee Secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; 7. Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you, nigh unto thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth; 8. Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him : 9. But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. Job 6:14. To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty. 15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away : Job 16:2. I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all. 20. My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto GOd. Job 19:13. He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. 14. My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgot- ten me. 15. They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. 16. I called my Servant, and he gave me no answer; I en- treated him with my mouth. 17. My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body. 18. Yea, youngchildren despised me: Iarose, and they spake against me. 19. All my in- ward friends abhorred me: and they whom Iloved are turned against me. 20. My bone cleaveth Go my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. 21. Have pify upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me. 22. Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? Psa. 35:13. But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth : I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer re- turned into mine own bosom. 14 Ibehaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother. Psa. 41:9. Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his hecl against me. Bsa. 55:12. For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it : neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him: 13. But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. 14. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. Psa. 88:8. Thou hast put away mine ac- Quaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I (t1/2 shut up, and I cannot come forth. 18. Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness. |Prov. 11:13. A talebearer revealeth Secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. Prov. 17:9. He that covereth a trans- gression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. 17. A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. Prov. 18:24. A man that hat/, friends must shew himself friendly : and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Prov. 22:24. Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: 25. Dest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul. 26. Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts. 27. If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from under thee ? Prov. 25:17. Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee. 19. Confidence in an un- faithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint. Prov. 27:6. Faithful Cºre the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are de- ceitful. 9. Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel. 10. Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not ; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: for better is a neigh- bour that is near than a brother far off. 14. He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, it shall be counted a curse to him. 17. Iron sharpeneth iron ; SO a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. 19.

I learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dis- mayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3. For the customs of the people are vain: Matt. 6:7. When ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do : for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8. Be not ye therefore like unto them : 31. Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat 2 or, What shall we drink 2 or, Where withal shall we be clothed ? 32. (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek): for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. Acts 14:16. Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways. Acts 17:4. And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few. 16. NOW, while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. 17. There- 1. Son of Shaphan, Jer. 413 GENTILES.–UNCLASSIFIED ---ti fore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. 22. Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too Super- stitious. 23. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. 24. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25. Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he giv- eth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26. And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times be- fore appointed, and the bounds of their habitation ; 27. That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every One of us: - Rom. 1:18. For the wrath of God is re- vealed from heaven against all ungodliness. and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19. Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them ; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23. And changed the glory of the uncor- ruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four- footed beasts, and creeping things. 24. Wherefore God also gave them up to un- cleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies be- tween themselves: truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26. For this cause God gave them up unto vile af- fections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27. And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another ; men with men working that which is un- Seemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them Over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29. Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wick- edness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; 25. Who changed the SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. whisperers, 30. Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31. With- out understanding, covenantbreakers, with- Out natural affection, implacable, unmerci- ful: 32. Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Rom. 2:1. Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whoSOever thou art that judgest : for wherein thou judgest another, thou con- demnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. 2. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. 3. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the Same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? 4. Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffer- ing; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance 3 5. But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treas- ured up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; 6.Who will renderto every man according to his deeds: 7. To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 8. But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unright- eousness, indignation and wrath, 9. Tribu- lation and anguish, upon every Soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10. But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile. 11. For there is no respect of persons with God. 12. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law : and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law : 13. (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14. For when the Gen- tiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, hav- ing not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15. Which shew the work Of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing One another;) 1. Cor. 10:20. But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: 1 Cor. 12:2, Ye know that ye were Gen- tiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. Gal. 2:15. We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, Eph. 2:12. At that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world : - Eph. 4:17. This I say therefore, and tes- tify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of 414 GENTILES.–PROPHECIES OF THE CONVERSION OF. their mind; 18. Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19. Who being past feeling have given them- selves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. . Eph. 5:12. It is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them insecret. 1 Thess. 4:5. Not in the lust of concupis- cence, even as the Gentiles which know not GOd: 1 Pet. 4:3. For the time past of ontº life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries: 4. Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them, to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of 4/07/. See IDOLATRY: MISSIONS. PROPHECIES OF THE CONVERSION OF: Gen. 12:3.

A seed shall Serve him ; it shall be accounted to the LOrd for a generation. 31. They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this. Psa. 46:4. There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. 10.

Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth ; O sing praises unto the Lord : Psa. 72:8. He shall have dominion also from Sea to sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. 9. They that dwell in the wil- derness shall bow before him; and his ene- mies shall lick the dust. 10. The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. 11. Yea, all kings shall fall down before him : all nations shall serve him. 16. There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof Shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. 19. Blessed be his glorious name for ever ; and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen. vs. 1–20. Psa. 86:9. All nations whom thouhast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. Psa. 102:15. So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. 18. This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD. 19.

To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem ; 22. When the people are gath- ered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD. Psa. 145:10.

And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my Servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. 18. Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather them- selves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an Ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth. 19. For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhab- itants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away. 20. The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell. 21. Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, Seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Be- hold, I was left alone; these, where had they been 2 22. Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gen- tiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy Sons in their arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. 23. And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nurs- ing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD : for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me. Isa. 54:1. Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD. 2. Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; 3. For thou shalt break forth. On the right hand and on the left ; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited. Isa. 55:5. Behold, thou shalt call a nation 416 GENTILES.–PROPHECIES OF THE CONVERSION of. that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee, because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee. Isa. 56:3. Neither let the son of the stran- ger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly sepa- rated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. 6. Also the Sons of the stranger, that join them- selves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his serv- ants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; 7. Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. 8. The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of Israei saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him. Isa. 60:1. Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 3. The Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 4. Lift up thy thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. 5. Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abun- dance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. 8. Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows 7 9. Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee. 10. And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee. 11. Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought. 12. For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish ; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. 13. The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beau- tify the place of my sanctuary ; and I will make the place of my feet glorious. 14. The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. Isa. 65:1. I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not : I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. Isa. 66:12. For thus saith the LORD, Be- hold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing Stream : then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees. 19. I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, # and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles, afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory ; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles. 23. It shall come to pass, that from One new moon to another, and from One sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship be- fore me, saith the LORD. vs. 7–23. Jer. 3:17. They shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD ; and all the nations Shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem : neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.

O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of afflic- tion, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely Our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. 20. Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? 21. Therefore, behold, I will this Once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD. Ezek. 47:3. And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ancles. 4. Again he measured a thou- sand, and brought me through the waters' the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins. 5. Afterward he measured a thousand, and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over. Dan. 2:35. And the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. 44.

Dan. 7:13. I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, na- tions, and languages, should serve him: his (27) 417 GENTILES.–PROPHECIES OF THE CONVERSION OF. dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. - Hos. 2:23.

The Sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come. 32. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call. Amos 9:11. In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: 12.

He shall judge among many peo- ple, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 4.

Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD. vs. 1–23. 23. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you. Zech. 9:1. When the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, shall be toward the LORD. 10.

For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, Saith the LORD of hosts. , Matt. 3:9. And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. Matt. 8:11. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. |Matt. 12:17. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, 18. Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. 19. He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. 20. A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. 21. And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. Matt. 19:30. But many that are first shall be last ; and the last shall be first. Mark 10:31. Luke 13:29. And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. 30. And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last. Luke 21:24. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive 4.18 GENTILES.--CONVERSION OF. into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trod- den down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. John 10:16. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Acts 9:15. But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: See CHURCH ; PROPHECIES CONCERNING |PROSPERITY Of. CONVERSION OF: Acts 10:45. And they Of the circumcision which believed were as- tonished, as many as came with Peter, be- cause that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 11:1. And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God. 2. And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him, 3. Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them. 4. But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by Order unto them, saying, 5. I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me: 6. Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 7. And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat. 8. But I said, Not SO, Lord : for nothing common Or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth. 9. But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 10. And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven. 11. And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me. 12. And the spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubt- ing. Moreover these six brethren accom- panied me, and we entered into the man's house : 13. And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose sur- name is Peter ; 14. Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved. 15. And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the be- ginning. 16. Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be bap- tized with the Holy Ghost. 17. Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could with- stand God? 18. When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gen- tiles granted repentance unto life. Acts 13:2. As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work where- unto I have called them. 46. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was neº- essary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gen- tiles. 47. For so hath the Lord command- ed us, say?/wg, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for Salvation unto the ends of the earth. 48. And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord : and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. Acts 14:27. And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they re- hearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith un- to the Gentiles. Acts 15:7. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said un- to them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and be- lieve. 8. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us ; 9. And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 12. Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them. 13. And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: 14. Simeon hath de- Clared how God at the first did visit the Gen- tiles, to take out of them a people for his name. 15. And to this agree the words of the prophet ; as it is written, 16. After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down : and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up : 17. That the residue of men might seek after the Tord, and all the Gen- tiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. 18. RCnown unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. 19. Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: 20. But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. 21. For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day. 22. Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; 77 amely, Judas surnamed 419 GENTITLES.–CONVERSION OF. Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren: 23. And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Anti- och and Syria and Cilicia : 24. Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye uvust be circumcised, and keep the law : to whom we gave no such commandment : 25. It seemed good unto us, being assembled with One accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26. Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 27. We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. 28. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 29. That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication : from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. 30. So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch. : and when they had gath- ared the multitude together, they delivered the epistle: 31. Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation. Acts 18:4. And he reasoned in the syna- gogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks. 5. And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Mace- donia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. 6. And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his rainment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean: from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. Acts 26:16. But rise, and stand upon thy feet : for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee: 17. Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, 18. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. - Acts 28:28. Be it known therefore unto you, that the Salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. Rom. 1:5. By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: 6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: 7. To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. Rom. 9:22. What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 23. And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24. Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 25. As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my peo- ple, which were not my people, and her be- loved, which was not beloved. 26. And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye (tre not my peo- ple; there shall they be called the children of the living God. 27. Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be Saved: 28. For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. 29. And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sab- aOth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Go- morrha. 30. What shall we say then 3 That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteous- ness, even the righteousness which is of faith. Rom. 10:19. But I say, T)id not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. 20. But Esaias is very bold, and Saith, I was found of them that Sought me not ; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. Rom. 11:11. I say then, Have they stum- bled that they should fall? God forbid.: but father through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 12. Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminish- ing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13. For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 17. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them. partakest of the root and fatness of the ol- ive tree; 18. Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20. Well; because of unbe- lief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21. For if God spared not the natural ºches take heed lest he also spare not thee. * Bom. 15:9. And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. 10. And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with his people. 11. And again, Praise the Lord, all ye Gentiles; and laud him, all ye people. 12. And again, Esaias Saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall 420 GENTILES. GEOILOGY. rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. Gal. 1:15. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 16. To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen ; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: Gal. 2:2. And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain. Gal. 3:14. That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Eph. 3:1. For this cause I Paul, the pris- oner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2. If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 3. How that by revelation he made known unto mo the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4. Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mys- tery of Christ) 5. Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit ; 6. That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: 7. Whereof I was made a min- ister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual work- ing of his power. 8. Unto me, whom am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gen- tiles the unsearchable riches of Christ ; Col. 3:11.

And God Said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. 10. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 1 Sam. 2:8. The pillars of the earth are the LORD's, and he hath set the world upon them. 2 Sam. 22:16. And the channels of the Sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils. Job 12:8. Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. 9. Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this ? - Job 28:9. He putteth forth his hand upon the rock ; he overturneth the mountains by the roots. 10. He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing. 11. He bindeth the floods from Over- flowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light. Psa. 18:15. Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. - Psa. 24:1.

At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. 8. They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. 9. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass Over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. 10. He sendeth the springs into the valleys, */ich run among the hills. 11. They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. 12. By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habita- tion, which sing among the branches. 13. He watereth the hills from his chambers : the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. Psa. 136:6. To him that stretched Out the earth above the waters: Prov. 30:4.

Psa. 84:11. For the LORD God is a Sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. Eccl. 2:26. For God giveth to a man that Žs good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also Žs vanity and vexation of spirit. Isa. 42:5. Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out ; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein : Ezek. 11:19. And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh : Dan. 2:21. He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know under- standing: 22. He revealeth the deep and Secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. 23. I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wis- dom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired Of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter. Matt. 11:28. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matt. 25:14. For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one ; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. (US. 14–30. John 6:27. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. John 16:23. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 24. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. John 17:22. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; Rom. 5:16. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification, 17. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abun- dance of grace and of the gift of right- eousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. 18. Therefore as by the offence of 423 GIFTS FROM GOD. GILGAL. --- one judgment came upon all men to con- demnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. Rom. 6:23. For the wages of sin is death ; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. |Rom. 8:32. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for usall, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Rom. 11:29. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. Rom. 12:6. Having then gifts differing ac- cording to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy accord- ing to the proportion of faith; 7. Or min- istry, let us wait on our ministering: Or, he that teacheth, on teaching; 8. Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. 1 Cor. 1:5. That in every thing ye are en- riched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 6. Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 7. So that ye come behind in no gift ; 1 Cor. 7:7. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and an- other after that. 1 Cor. 12:4. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6. And there are diversities of opera- tions, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9. To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of heal- ing by the same Spirit; 10. To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy: to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the in- terpretation of tongues: 11. But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 1 Cor. 13:2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, So that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. - Eph. 47. But unto every one of usis given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity cap- tive, and gave gifts unto men. 1 Tim. 6:17. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the liv- ing God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy ; Jas. 1:17. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 1 Pet. 4:10. As every man hath received the gift, ever, so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 2 Pet. 1:3. According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, - See BENEFICENCE: GIVING : LIBERALITY. GIHON. 1. A river in Egypt, Gen. 2:13. 2.

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 3. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4. That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which Seeth in Secret himself shall reward thee openly. - 1. Cor. 16:2. Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, 2 Cor. 8:11. Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there ºpas a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have. 12. For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted accord- ing to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. 14. But by an equali- ty, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want : that there may be equality: 2 Cor. 9:6. But this I say, He which sow- eth sparingly shall reap also sparingly ; and he which Soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 7. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give, not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. See ALMS : BENEFICENCE: LIBERALITY.

Notwithstand- ing they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and Stank: and MOSes was wroth with them. 21. And they gath- ered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted. 27. And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. Num. 11:32. And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gathered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them all abroad for them- selves round about the camp. 33. And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD Smote the people with a very great plague. Deut. 21:20. And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. , 21. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: So shalt thou put evil away from among you; and ali Israel shall hear, and fear. - Prov. 23:21.

And behold joy and gladness, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die. Amos 6:4. That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs Out of the flock, and the calves Out of the midst of the stall; 5. That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to them- selves instruments of musick, like IDavid; 6. That drink wine in bowls, and anoint them- selves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph. 7. Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed. Tuke 12:19. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20. But God said unto him, Thoma fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided ? 45. But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord de- layeth his coming; and shall beginto beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46. The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in Sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. Luke 21:34. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you l]Ila, Wal’éS. Rom. 13:13. Tet us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. 1 Cor. 15:32.

UNCLASSHIFIED SCRIPTURES RELAT- ING TO: Job 5:8. I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: 9. Which doeth great things and unsearch- able; marvellous things without number: 10. Who giveth rain upon the earth, and send- eth waters upon the fields: 11. To set up on high those that be low ; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety. 12. He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. 13. He taketh the wise in their Own Craftiness: and the counsel of the fro- ward is carried headlong. 14. They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night. 15. But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. 16. So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stop- peth her mouth. 17. Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore de- spise not thou the chastening of the Al- mighty : 18. For he maketh Sore, and bind- eth up : he woundeth, and his hands make whole. 19. He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in Seven there shall no evil touch thee. 20. In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power Of the Sword. Job 9:2. How should man be just with God? 3. If he will contend with him, he cannot an- swer him one of a thousand. 4. He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him,andhath pros- pered 5. Which removeth the mountains, and they know not : which overturneth them in his anger. 6. Which shaketh the earth 427 out of her place, and the pillars thereoftrem- ble. 7. Which commandeth the Sun, and it riseth not ; and sealeth up the stars. 8. Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadethupon the waves of the Sea. , 9.Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. 10. Which doeth great things past finding Out; yea, and Won- ders without number. 11. LO, he goeth by me, and I see him not : he passeth on also, but I perceive him not. 12. Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him ? who will Say unto him, What doest thou ? 13. If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him. 14. How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to peason with him? 15. Whom, though I were righteous, yet would Inot answer, but I would make supplication to my judge. 16. If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice. 17. For he breaketh me with a tem- pest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. 18. He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness. 19. If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead? .. 20. If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am?, per- fect, it shall also prove me perverse. 21. Though I were perfect, yet would Inot know my soul: I would despise my life. 22. This às one thing, therefore I said it, He destroy- eth the perfect and the wicked. 23. If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent. 24. The earthis given into the hand of the wicked : he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he? 25. Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good. 26. They are passed away as the Swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey. 27. If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself: 28. I am afraid of all my sorrows, Iknow that thou wilt not hold meinnocent. 29. If Ibe wicked, why then labour I in vain 3 30. If I wash myself with snow water,and make my hands never so clean; 31. Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall ab- hor me. 32. For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. 33. Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both. 34. Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me: 35. Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me. Job. 10:2. I will say unto God, Do not con- demn me; shew me wherefore thou contend- est with me. 3. Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest depise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked ? 4. Hast thou eyes of flesh? Or seest thou as man Seeth? 5. Are thy days as the days of man Ž are thy years as man's days, 6. That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and Searchest after my sin 3 GOD.—UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. 7. Thou knowest that I am not wicked ; and there is none that can deliver Out of thine hand. 8. Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me. 9. Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again? 10. Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese? 11. Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews. 12. Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath pre- served my spirit. 13. And these things hast thou hid in thine heart : I know that this is with thee. 14. If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity. 15. If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if Iberighteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore See thou mine affliction; 16. For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou she west thyself marvellous upon me. 17. Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me. 18. Where- fore then hast thou brought me forth Out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had Seen me ! Job 12:7. But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: 8. Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. 9. Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? 10. In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. 11. Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat. § 12. With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. 13. With him is wis- dom, and strength, he hath counsel and un- derstanding. 14. Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no Opening. 15. Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up ; also he sendeth them out, and they Overturn the earth. 16. With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his. 17. He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools. 18. He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle. 19. He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty. 20. He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged. - Job 26:7. He stretcheth Out the north Over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. 8. He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. 9. He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it. 10. He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end. 11. The pillars of heaven tremble and are aston- ished at his reproof. 12. He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he Smiteth through the proud. 13. By his spirit 428 GOD.—UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. sº- he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent. 14. Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand 3 Job 33:12. Behold, in this thou art not just : I will answer thee, that God is greater than man. 13. Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his mat- ters. 14. For God Speaketh once, yea twice, get ma/v perceiveth it not. 15. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep fall- eth upon men, in Slumberings upon the bed; 16. Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, 17. That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. 18. He keepeth back his Soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the Sword. 19. He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain. 20. So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. 21. His flesh is consumed away, that it can- not be seen; and his bones that were not seen Stick Out. 22. Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. 23. If there be a messenger with him, an in- terpreter, One among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: 24. Then heisgra- cious unto him, and Saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: Ihave foundaransom. 25. His flesh shall be fresher than a child's : he shall return to the days of his youth: 26. He shall pray unto God, and he will be fa- vourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness. 27. He looketh upon men, and ºf any Say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited menot; 28. He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. 29. LO, all these th?”gs worketh God oftentimes with man, 30. To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living. Job 34:10. Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should com/), it iniquity. 11. For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find ac- Cording to his ways. 12. Yea, surely Godwill not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. 13. Who hath given him a charge Over the earth ? Or who hath dis- posed the whole world? 14. If he set his heart upon man, ºf he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; 15. All flesh shall perish to- gether, and man shall turn again unto dust. 16. If now thout hast understanding, hearthis: hearken to the voice of my words. 17. Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just 2 18. Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked ? &nd to princes, Ye are ungodly 2 19. How 7mºtch less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work Of his hands. 20. In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and passaway: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand. 21. For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. 22. There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. 23. For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God. 24. He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and Set others in their stead. 25. Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed. 26. He striketh them as wicked men in the Open sight of others; 27. Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways: 28. So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted. 29. When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble % and when he hideth his face who then can behold him 8 whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only: 30. That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared. Job. 37:1. At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. 2. Hear at- tentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. 3. He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. 4. After it a voice roareth : he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. 5. God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot conn- prehend, 6. For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. 7. He sealeth up the hand of every man ; that all men may know his work. 8. Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. 9. Out of the South Cometh the whirlwind ; and cold out of the north. 10. By the breath of God frost is given ; and the breadth of the waters is straitened. 11. Also by water- ing he wearieth the thick cloud: he scatter- eth his bright cloud: 12. And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. 13. He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. 14. Hearken unto this, O Job : stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. 15. DOst thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine 7 16. Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? 17. How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? 18. Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a mol- ten looking glass? 19. Teach us what we shall say unto him ; for we cannot order ou?' speech by reason of darkness. 20. Shall it be told him that I speak 2 if a man speak, Surely he shall be swallowed up. 21. And 429 GOD.—UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. 22. Fair weather cometh Out of the north : with God is terrible maj- esty. 23. Touch £ng the Almighty, we can- not find him out : he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. 24. Men do therefore fear him : he respecteth not any that are wise of heart. - - Job 38:1. Then the LORD answered Job Out of the whirlwind, and said, 2. Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? 3. Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. 4. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth ? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest ? or who hath stretched the line upon it 2 6. Where- upon are the foundations thereof fastened ? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7. When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy 7 8. Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the wombº. 9. When I made the cloud the gar- ment thereof, and thick darkness a swad- dlingband for it, 10. And brake up for it my decreed place, and Set bars and doors, 11. And Said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed ? 12. Hast thou commanded the morn- ing since thy days; and caused the day- Spring to know his place; 13. That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it # 14. It is turned as clay to the Seal; and they stand as a garment. 15. And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken. 16. Hast thou entered into the springs of the Sea. ? Or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? 17. Have the gates of death been opened unto thee ? Or hast thou Seen the doors of the shadow of death Ž 18. Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all. 19. Where is the way where light dwelleth and as for darkness, where is the place thereof, 20. That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof 2 21 Knowest thou it, because thou wast, then born ? Or because the number of thy days is great 3 22. Hast thou entered into the treas- ures of the Snow? or hast thou seen the treas- ures of the hail, 23. Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?. 24. By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth ? 25. Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; 26. To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is ; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; 27. To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth ? 28. Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew 7 29. Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it ! 30. The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. 31. Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? 32. Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his Season ? Or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? 33. Knowest thou the Ordinances of heaven 3 canst thou Set the dominion thereof in the earth ? 34. Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? 35. Canst thou Send lightnings, that they may go, and Say unto thee, Here we are * 36. Who hath put wis- dom in the inward parts? Or who hath given understanding to the heart 2 37. Who can number the clouds in wisdom ? Or who can stay the bottles of heaven, 38. When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together? 39. Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion ? Or fill the appetite of the young lions, 40. When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait 2 41. Who provideth for the raven his food when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat. Job 39:1. Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth ? or Canst thou mark when the hinds do calve 3 2. Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth ? 3. They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their Sorrows. 4. Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them. 5. Who hath sent out the wild ass free ? Or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass? 6. Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren lands his dwellings. 7. He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. 8.

Canst thoubind the unicorn with his band in the furrow % Or will he har- row the valleys after thee? 11. Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great ž or wilt thou leave thy labour to him 2 12. Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn ? 13. Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the pea- cocks? Or wings and feathers unto the ostrich 14. Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust, 15. And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them. 16. She is hardened against her young Ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear; 17. Be- cause God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her under- standing. 18. What time she lifteth up her- Self on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider. 19. Hast thou given the horse 430 GOD.—UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. strength ? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? 20. Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper ? the glory of his nostrils is terrible. 21. He paweth in the valley, and re- joiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. 22. He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. 23. The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. 24. He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage; neither believeth he that it is the Sound of the trumpet. 25. He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. 26. Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south 3 27. Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high & 28. She dwelleth and abideth On the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place. 29. From thence she seek- eth the prey, and her eyes behold afar off. 30. Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she. Job. 40:1. Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said, 2. Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him 2 he that reprov- eth God, let him answer it. 3. Then Job an- Swered the LORD, and said, 4. Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. 5. Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further. 6. Then an- swered the LORD unto Job Out of the whirl- wind, and said, 7. Girdup thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 8. Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous? 9. Hast thou an arm like God? Or canst thou thunder with a voice like him 2 10. Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty. 11. Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every One that is proud, and abase him. 12. TOOk On every one that is proud, and bring him low ; and tread down the wicked in their place. 13.

He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. 18. His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. 19. He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach wnto him. 20. Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play. 21. He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens. 22. The shady trees cover him with their shadow: the willows of the brook compass him about. 23. Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not : he trusteth that he ---, -ºns can draw up Jordan into his mouth. 24. He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares. - Job 41:1.

Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down at the sight of him ? 10. None is so fierce that dare stir him up; who then is able to stand before me? 11. Who hath prevented me, that I should repay Jºžºm 2 whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. 12. I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion. 13. Who can discover the face of his garment? o, who can come to him with his double bridle? 14. Who can open the doors of his face 2 his teeth are terrible round about. 15.

Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. 20. Out of his nos- trils goeth Smoke, as out of a Seething pot or caldron. 21. His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth, 22. In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. 23. The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved. 24. His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone. 25. When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify them- selves. 26. The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, northe habergeon. 27. He esteemeth iron as straw, &nd brass as rotten wood. 28. The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble. 29. Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear. 30. Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire. 31. He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of oint- ment. 32. He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary. 33. Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear. 34. He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the chil- dren of pride. º Job 42:1. Then Job answered the LORD, and 431 GOD.—UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. said, 2. I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee. 3. Who is he that hideth coun- sel without knowledge? therefore have Iut- tered that I understood not ; things too won- derful for me, which I knew not. 4. Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will de- mand of thee, and declare thou unto me. 5. I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye Seeththee. 6. Where- fore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. Psa. 8:3. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained ; 4. What is man, that thou art mindful of him 3 and the son of man, that thou visitest him $ 5. For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: Psa. 97:6. The heavens declare his right- eousness, and all the people see his glory. Psa. 104:1. Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great ; thou art clothed with honour and majesty: 2. Who coverest thyself with light as with a gar- ment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: 3. Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot : who walketh upon the wings of the wind: 4. Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: 5. Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. 6. Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment : the waters stood above the moun- tains. 7. At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. 8. They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. 9. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth. 10. He sendeth the springs into the valleys, Abhich run among the hills. 11. They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. 12. By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habita- tion, which sing among the branches. 13. He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. 14. He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth fruit out of the earth: 15. And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengthenêth man's heart. 16. The trees of the LORD are full of sap ; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; 17. Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. 18. The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies. 19. He appointed the moon for sea- Sons: the Sun knoweth his going down. 20. Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep, forth. 21. The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. 22. The sun ariseth, they gather themselves to- gether, and lay them down in their dens. 23. Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. 24. O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom, hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches. 25. So is this great and wide Sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. 26. There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. 27. These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. 28. That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. 29. Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled : thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. 30. Thou Sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou re- newest the face of the earth. 31. The glory of the TORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. 32. He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth : he toucheth the hills, and they Smoke. - Psa. 107:23. They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; 24. These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. 25. For he command- eth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. 26. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. Psa. 119:90. Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. 91. They continue this day according to thine Ordinances: for all &re thy servants. Psa. 135:6. Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the Seas, and all deep places. 7. He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain ; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. Psa. 147:15. He sendeth forth his com- mandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly. 16. He giveth snow likewool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. 17. He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold' 18. He sendeth out his word, and melteth them : he causeth his wind to blow, &nd the waters flow. Psa. 148:3. Praise ye him, sun and moon : praise him, all ye stars of light. 4. Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. 5. Tet them praise the name of the LORD : for he commanded, and they were created. 6. He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass. Eccl. 3:14. I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever : nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. 15. That which hath been is now ; and 432 GOD.—ACCESS TO. g-— that which is to be hath already been ; and God requireth that which is past. Isa. 2:19. And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake ter- ribly the earth. Isa. 13:13. Therefore I will shake the heav- ens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. Isa. 29:6. Thou shalt be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire. Isa. 48:13. Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spanned the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together. Isa. 50:2. Wherefore, when I came, was there no man 3 when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem 7 or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the Sea, I make the rivers a wilder- ness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst. 3. I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sack- cloth their covering. Isa. 64:3. When thou didst terrible things 70/vic/, we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. Jer. 5:24. Neither say they in their heart, Tet us now fear the LORD Our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the ap- pointed weeks of the harvest. Jer. 10:2. Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 13. When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. Jer, 31:35. Thus saith the IORD, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the Ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name: 36. If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the LORD, them the Seed of Israel also shall cease from be- ing a nation before me for ever. 37. Thus Saith the LORD ; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth Searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the Seed of Israel for all that they have done, Saith the LORD. - - Jer. 33:20. Thus saith the LORD? If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my Covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; 21. Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, 25. Thus saith the LORD : If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; 26. Then will I cast away the Seed of Jacob, and David my serv- ant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them. Jer. 51:16. When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heav- ens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind Out Of his treasures. Dan. 2:21. And he changeth the times and the Seasons: Amos. 5:8. Seek him that maketh the Seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that call- eth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name: Nah. 1:3. The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. 4. He rebuketh the Sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon lan- guisheth. 5. The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein. 6. Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured Out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. Rom. 1:19. Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20.

And when they were come,and had gathered the church, together, they re- hearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles. Rom. 5:2. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Eph. 2:13. But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 18. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Eph. 3:12. In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Col. 1:21. And you, that were Sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22. In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight. Heb. 4:16. Tet us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may Ob- tain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. - Heb. 7:19. For the law made nothing per- fect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. 25. Wherefore he is able also to Save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. - Heb. 10:19. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 22. Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, hav- ing our hearts sprinkled from an evil con- science, and our bodies washed with pure water. Heb. 11:6. But without faith it is impossi- ble to please him : for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a re- warder of them that diligently seek him. Jas. 4:8. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 1 Pet. 1:17. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth ac- cording to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 1 Pet. 3:18. For Christ also hath. Once suf- fered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 1 John 4:16.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2. And the earth was without form, and void: and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God di- vided the light from the darkness. 5. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. 6. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7. And GOd made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament : and it was So. 8. And God called the firma- ment Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 9. And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear; and it was so. 10. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. 11. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed às in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind; and God saw that it was good. 13. And the evening and the morn- ing were the third day. 14. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: 15. And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was So. 16. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. 17. And God Set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 18. And to rule Over the day and over the night, and to di- vide the light from the darkness: and God Saw that it was good 19. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. 20. And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that 434 GOD.—CREATOR. hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. 21. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 22. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. 23. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 24. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion Over the fish of the Sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and Over all the earth, and over every creep- ing thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him ; male and female created he them. 28. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it : and have dominion Over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 31. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Gen. 2:1. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the hosts of them. 2. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made ; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it : because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. 4. These are the gen- erations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heav- ens. 7. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life : and man be- came a living soul. Gen. 2:1–25. Gen. 5:1. This is the book of the genera- tions of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him ; 2. Male and female created he them ; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. Gen. 9:6. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. Ex. 20:11. In six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, Psa. 146:6. 1. Sam. 2:8. The pillars of the earth are the IORD's, and he hath set the world upon them. 2 Kin. 19:15. And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all king- doms of the earth ; thou hast made heaven and earth. - 1 Chr. 16:26. For all the gods of the peo- ple are idols: but the LORD made the heav- (2]].S. Neh. 9:6. Thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the Seas, and all that is therein, and thou pre- servest them all. Job 9:8. Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. 9. Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the South. Job 10:3. Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest de- spise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked ? 8. Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about ; yet thou dost de- stroy me. Job 12:7. But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: 8. Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes Of the sea shall declare unto thee. 9. Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? Job 26:7. He stretcheth Out the north Over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. 13. By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the Crooked serpent. vs. 8–12. Job 28:23. God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. 24. For he looketh to the ends of the earth, (1776. Seeth under the whole heaven; 25.

Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? 18, Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? Job 38:4. Where wast, thou when I laid the foundations of the earth ? declare, if thou hast understanding. 7. When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy 7 8. Or acho shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb 3 9. When I made the cloud the garment there- of, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, 10. And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors. vs. 4–38. Psa. 8:3. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained ; Psa. 19:1.

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. 7. He gather- eth the waters of the Sea, together as an heap : he layeth up the depth in storehouses. 9. For he spake, and it was done ; he com- manded, and it stood fast. Psa. 65:6. Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power : . . Psa. 74:16. The day is thine, the night also is thine : thou hast prepared the light and the sun. 17. Thou hast set all the bor- ders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter. Psa. 78.69. He built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath established for ever. Psa. 89:11. The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. 12. The north and the South thou hast Cre- ated them : 47. Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain Ż Psa. 90:2. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from ever- lasting to everlasting, thou art God. Psa. 95:4. In his hand are the deep places of the earth : the strength of the hills is his also. 5. The Sea is his, and he made it : and his hands formed the dry land. Psa. 102:25.

The IORD by wisdom hath founded the earth ; by understanding hath he established the heavens. . Prov. 8:26. While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. 27. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: 28. When he established the Clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep : 29. When he gave to the sea, his de- cree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth : Prov. 16:4.

In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began ; Heb. 6:10. God is not unrighteous to for- get your work and labour of love, 13. For when God made promise to Abraham, be- cause he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, 14. Saying, Surely bless- ing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. 15. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. 16. For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. 17. Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: 18. That by two im- mutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong con- solation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19.Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both Sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Heb. 10:22. Tet us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23.

After this man- ner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Luke 11:2. Matt. 7:11. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him 3 Matt. 10:20. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speak- eth in you. 29. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing 2 and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 32.

But whoSO- ever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Matt. 11:25.

And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise. John 4:21.

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worship- pers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth : for the Father Seeketh Such to wor- ship him. John 5:17. But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. 18. Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the Sabbath, but said also that God was his Fa- ther, making himself equal with God. 19. Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. 20. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth : and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. 21. For as the Father raiseth up the dead and quickeneth them : even so the Son Guickeneth whom he will. 22. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 23. That all ºver should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 36. But I have greater wit- ness than that of John : for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 37. And the Fa- ther himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of rºle. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. 43. T am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not : if another shall come in his Own name, him ye will receive. John 6:27. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you : for him hath God the Father sealed. 32. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven ; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. 44. No man can come to me, ex- cept the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 45. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every manthere- fore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, Cometh unto me. 46. Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. John 8:19. Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Fa- ther also. 27. They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. 38. I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 41. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, eve?” God. 42. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; nei- ther came I of myself, but he sent me. 49. Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. John 10:15. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 29. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Fa- ther's hand. 30. I and my Father are one. 32. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father ; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33. The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not ; but for blasphemy: and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 36. Sayye of him, whom the Father hath Sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37. If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. John 12:26. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also 445 GOD.—FATHERHOOD OF. my servant be : if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. 27. Now is my Soul troubled; and what shall I Say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. 28. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. 50. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting : whatsoever I speak there- fore, even as the Father said unto me, So I Speak. John 13:3. Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; John 14:2. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 6. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 8. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip 3 he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father ? 10. Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me ! the words that I speak unto you I Speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me : Or else believe me for the very works’ sake. 12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also ; and greater works than these shall he do ; because I go unto my Father. 13. And whatsoever ye shall askin my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 16. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 20. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 21. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 23. Jesus answered and Said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me. 26. But the Com- forter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the |Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 31. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. John 15:8. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit ; SO shall ye be my disciples. 9. As the Father hath loved me, SO have I loved you : continue ye in my love. 10. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 16. That whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 23. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 24. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 26. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me : John 16.3. And these things will they do. unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. 10. Of righteousness, be- cause I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 15. All things that the Father hath are mine: 23. Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 25. These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. 26. At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you : 27. For the Father him- self loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came Out from God. 28. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. John 17:1. These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 5. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 11. Holy Father, keep through thine Own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 21. That they all may be one ; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 24. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, whichthou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. John 20:17. Jesus Saith unto her, Touch me not ; for I am not yet ascended to my Father : but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. 21. Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. Acts 1:4, Wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. Acts 2:33. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. 446 Rom. 1:3. His son Jesus Christ Our Lord, which was made of the Seed of David ac- cording to the flesh; 4. And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 7. To all that be in Rome, be- loved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Tord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 1:3; Gal. 1:3; Eph. 1:2; 6:23; Phil. 1:2; Col. 1:2; 1 Thess. 1:1; 2 Thess. 1:2; Tit. 1:4. - Rom. 8:15. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 1 Cor 8:6. But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him ; 1 Cor. 15:24. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God even the Father; 2 Cor. 1:3. Blessed be God, even the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mer- Cies, and the God of all comfort ; 2 Cor. 6:18. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daugh- ters, saith the Lord Almighty. Gal. 1:1. Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) 4. Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and Our Father : Gal. 4:4. God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, 5. To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. 6. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son ; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Eph. 1:3.

And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was. Deut. 4:11. And ye came near and stood under the mountain ; and the mountain burned with fire unto the nidst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness. Deut. 5:22.

Then spake Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness. Job 11:7. Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty un- to perfection ? 8. It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what Canst thou know % 9. The measure thereof Žs longer than the earth, and broader than the Sea. Job 15:8. Hast thou heard the Secret of God 2 Job 37:1. At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. 2. Hear at- tentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. 3. He direct- eth it under the whole heaven, and his light- ning unto the ends of the earth. 4. After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. 5. God thun- dereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot compre- hend. 6. For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. 7. He seal- eth up the hand of every man ; that all men may know his work. 8. Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. 9. Out of the south cometh the whirlwind ; and cold out of the north. 10. By the breath of God frost is given ; and the breadth of the waters is straitened. 11. Also by Watering he wearieth the thick Cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: 12. And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. 13. He caus- eth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. 14. Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. 15. Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine 3 16. Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? 17. How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? 18. Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, (tºd as a mol- ten looking glass? 19. Teach us what we shall say unto him ; for We cannot order on/7 speech by reason of darkness. 20. Shall it 458 GOD. —TNFINITE–1Nvfs[BLE. •es.

Fair weather cometh Out of the north : with God is terrible majesty. 23. Touchºwg the Almighty, we cannot find him out : he is excellent in power, and in judg- ment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. 24. Men do therefore fear him : he respecteth not any that are wise of heart. Psa. 18:11. He made darkness his secret place ; his pavilion round about him were dark waters (t,nd thick clouds of the skies. Psa. 97.2. Clouds and darkness are round about him : righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. - Eccl. 3:11. No man can find out the work º God maketh from the beginning to the G]] Ci. Isa. 40:12. Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance 2 13. Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsel- lor hath taught him $ 14. With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewcô to him the way of understanding 3 15. Behold, the nations (tre as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. 16. And Lebanon is not suf- ficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof suf- ficient for a burnt offering. 17. All nations before him (tre as nothing; and they are Counted to him less than nothing, and van- ity. 18. To whom then will ye liken God 2 or what likeness will ye compare unto him 7 19. The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains. 20. He that Žs so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot ; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved. 21. Have ye not known 2 have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the begin- ning ? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth ? 22. It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; and stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in : 23. That bringeth the princes to noth- ing; he maketh the judges of the earth as Vanity. 24. Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown : yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth : and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall Wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble. 25. To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. 26. Tift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. 27. Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God? 28. Hast thou not known 2 hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary 7 there is no searching of his un- derstanding. 29. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31. But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength ; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isa. 55:S. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways high- er than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 1 COr. 2:16.

Ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb Out of the midst of the fire: Deut. 5:22. These words the IORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice : and he added no more. 1 Kin. 8:12.

Not that any man hath Seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. Rom. 1:20. The invisible things of him from the creation of the World are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and God- head; Col. 1:13. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Soil: 14. In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15.

The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jeal- Ousy shall smoke against that man, Deut. 32:16. They provoked him to jeal- Ousy with strange gods, 21. They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: Josh. 24:19. Ye cannot serve the LORD : for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins. 2 Chr. 16:7. And at that time Hannai the Seer came to Asa king of Judah, and Said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand. 8. Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand. 9. For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them, whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars. 10. Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in a rage with him be- cause of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time. Isa. 30:1. Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me: and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: 2. That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth : to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt Isa. 31:1. Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the TORD ! 3. Now the Eyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together. th Ezek. 23:25.

The LORD judge between me and thee, and the LORD avenge me of thee: but mine hand shall not be upon thee. 15. The LORD therefore be judge, and judge be- tween me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand. 2 Sam. 22:25. Therefore the LORD hath re- compensed me according to my righteous- ness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight. 26. With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright. 27. With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself un- Savoury. Psa. 18:25,26. 1 Kin. 8:32. Hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him accord- ing to his righteousness.

Job 31:13. If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me ; 14. What then shall I do when God riseth up 3 and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him ; 15. Did not he that made me in the womb make him ? and did not one fashion us in the womb : Job 34:10. Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Al- mighty, that he should commit iniquity. 11. For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find ac- cording to his ways. 12. Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Al- mighty pervert judgment. 17. Shall even he that hateth right govern ? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just 2 19. Him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? 23. He will not lay upon man more that? 7°ight; that he should enter into judgment with GOd. - Job 35:14. Thou Sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; Job 36:3.

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. 3. To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. Prov. 24:12.

And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body : Isa. 26:7. Thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just. Isa. 28:17. Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet : 21.

Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for thine eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings: Jer. 50:7. Their adversaries said, "We Of- fend not, because they have sinned against the TORD, the habitation of justice, Jer. 51:10. The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD Our God. Ilam. 1:18. The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: Ezek. 14:23. Ye shall know that I have not done without cause all that I have done in it, saith the Lord GOD. Ezek. 18:25. Yet ye say, The way of the Tord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? [v. 29.] 30. Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one ac- cording to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Tepent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your I’Ullll. Ezek. 33:7. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Is- rael; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. 8. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will T require at thine hand. 9. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to return from it: if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 10. Therefore, O thou Son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our trans- gressions and Our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live? 11. Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel ? 12. Therefore, thou Son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his trans- gression: as for the wickedness of the wick- ed, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his 7°ighteousness in the day that he sinneth. 13. When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousness shall not be remembered ; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. 14. Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right: 15. If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die. 16. None of his sins that he hath com- mitted shall be mentioned unto him : he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live. 17. Yet the children of thy peo- ple Say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. 18. When the righteous turneth from his right- eousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby. 19. But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby. Dan. 4:37. Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment nºt hose that Walk in pride he is able to abase. Dan. 7:9. The thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. 10. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands min- istered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him : the judg- ment was set, and the books were opened. Dan. 9:7. O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; 14. The LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD Our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: Hos. 10:10. It is in my desire that I should chastise them : Amos 8:7. The TORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never for- get any of their works. * Nah. 1:3. The LORD is slow to anger, and 463 GOD.—JUDGE, AND HIS Justic E. great in power, and will not at all acquit the woje/ceoſ. 6. Who can stand before his in- dignation? and who can abide in the fierce- ness of his anger ? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him. Zeph. 3:5. The just TORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morn- ing doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not ; Mal. 3:5. I will come near to you to judg- ment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false Swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. 18. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, Acts 17:31. He hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteous- ness by that man whom he hath ordained: Bom. 1:32. Knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, Bom. 2:2. We are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. 5. But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judg- ment of God; 6. Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7. To them who by patient continuance in well doing Seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 8. But unto them that are con- tentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 9. Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10. But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 11. IFor there is no respect of persons with God. 12. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law; and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law ; 13. (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by na- ture the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto them- selves: 15. Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) 16. In the day when God shall judge the Secrets of men by Jesus Christ ac- cording to my gospel. Rom. 3:4. Let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest Overcome when thou art judged. 5. Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance 2 (I speak as a man) * 6. God forbid : for then how shall God judge the world 2 26. To de- clare, I say, at this time his righteousness. that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. |Rom. 9:14. Is there unrighteousness with GOd 2 GOd forbid. Rom. 11:22. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. Eph. 6:8. Whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. 9. Your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him. Col. 3:25; Acts 10:34. 2 Thess. 1:4. So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your pa- tience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 5. Which is a manifest tºken of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suf- fer: 6. Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; Heb. 6:10. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the Saints, and do minis- ter. Heb. 10:30. For we know him that hath Said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Heb. 12:22. But ye are come unto mount Sion, . . . 23. . . . and to God the Judge of all, 29. For our God is a consuming fire. Deut. 4:24. 1 Pet. 1:17. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth ac- cording to every man’s work, pass the time of your Sojourning here in fear. 2 Pet. 2:9. The Lord knoweth how to de- liver the godly out of temptations, and to re- Serve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: 1 John 1:9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgiveus our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Jude 6.

Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb : 17. For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand 3 Rev. 11:18. Thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward untó thy Servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. * 464 GOD.—KING—KNOWLEDGE OF. m- Rev. 15:3.

And I heard another Out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Al- mighty, true and righteous are thy judg- mentS. Rev. 18:8. Strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. Rev. 19:2.

And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. 13. He causeth it to come, whether for correc- tion, Orfor his land, or for mercy. 14. Heark- en unto this, O Job: stand still, and consid- er the wondrous works of God. 15.

To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man Čs; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; 27. To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth ? 41. Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat. Job 39:5. Who hath sent out the wild ass free ? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass? 6.

The young lions do lack, and Suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. Psa. 36:6. O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. 7. How excellent is thy loving- kindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. Psa. 37:3.

How thou didst drive Out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; /low thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. 3. For they got not the land in pos- session by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them : but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. Psa. 65.9. Thou visitest the earth, and wa- terest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water : thou preparest them corn, when thou hast SO pro- vided for it. 10. Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the fur- rows thereof: thou makest it soft with show- ers: thou blessest the springing thereof. 11. Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. 12. They drop *(pon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13.

Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron : 19. Until the time that his word came : the word of the LORD tried him. 20. The king sent and loosed him ; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. 21. He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: 22. To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his Senators wisdom. 23. Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. 24. And he increased his people greatly: and made them stronger than their enemies. 25. He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants. 26.

He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. 37. He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. 38. Egypt was glad when they departed : for the fear of them fell upon them. 39. He spread a cloud for a covering ; and fire to give light in the night. 40. The people asked, and he brought Quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 41. He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river. 42. For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. 43. And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: 44. And gave them the lands of the heathen : and they inherited the labour of the people; 45. That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD. Acts 7:34–36. Psa. 107:1.

When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep; 29. When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foun- dations of the earth: 30.

They that despise me shall be lightly esteemed. Job 8:11. Can the flag grow without wa- ter? 12. Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb. 13. So are the paths of all that forget God; Job 35:10. None saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth Songs in the night : Psa. 2:2.

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. Psa. 14:2.

LO, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. Psa. 53:4.

He that walketh in his up- rightness feareth the LORD : but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth him. Isa. 1:3.

This is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD : 10. Which say to the seers, See not ; and to the prophets, Proph- esy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: 11. , Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. 12. Wherefore thus Saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and per- verseness, and stay thereon : 13. Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh Suddenly at an in- Stant. Isa. 31:1. Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many : and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD ! Jer. 2:32. Can a maid forget her orna- ments, or a bride her attire ? yet my people have forgotten me days without number. Dan. 5:23. But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven ; . . . the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified: * , Hos. 7:2. And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wicked- ness: now their own doings have beset them about ; they are before my face. 3. They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies. 4. They are all adulterers, as an oven heated by the baker, . who ceaseth from raising after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leav. ened. Mal. 2:17. Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him 2 When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where Žs the God of judgment ? - Mal. 3:8. Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee ? John 5:42. I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. 44. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only 7 John 15:23. He that hateth me, hateth my Father also. 24. But now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25. They hated me without a cause. Rom. 1:21. When they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imagina- tions, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 28. As they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, . Bom. 8:6. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life 516 GODIESSNESS. GOOD FOR, EVIL. and peace. 7. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. Eph. 4:18. Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Col. 1:21. You, that were sometime alien- ated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, Heb. 10:26. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27. But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. Jas. 4:4. I(now ye not that the friend- ship of the world is enmity with God 2 who- SOever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. Rom. 15:29. And I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ. Rom. 16:25. To him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26. But now is made manifest, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the command- ment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the Obedience of faith: 1 Cor. 1:18. The preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 21. It pleased God by the foolishness of preach- ing to save them that believe. 24. Unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1 Cor. 2:4. My preaching was not with en- ticing words of man's wisdom, but in dem- onstration of the Spirit and of power: 5. That your faith should not stand in the wis- dom of men, but in the power of God. 6. We speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought : 7. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God Ordained before the world unto our glory: 9. Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Cor. 4:20. The kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. 1 Cor. 9:16. For though I preach the gos- pel, I have nothing to glory of : for necessi- ty is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel ! 17. For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. 18. What is my re- ward then 2 Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. 1 Cor. 15:1. I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2. By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in mem- Ory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 2 Cor. 3:6. The letter killeth, but the spir- it giveth life. 7. But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: 8. How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 9. For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministra- tion of righteousness exceed in glory. , 10. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. 11. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. 18. We all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. - 2 Cor. 4:3. But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost : 4. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 6. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in Our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Cor. 9:15. Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift. 2 Cor. 10:4. (For the weapons of our war- fare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5.

And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, Or had run, in vain. Gal. 3:8. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abra- ham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. Eph. 1:13. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14.

If ye continue in the faith grounded and Set- tled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; 26. Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his Saints: 27.

Whom We preach, warning every man, and teach- ing every man in all wisdom ; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29. Whereunto I also labour, striving ac- cording to his working, which worketh in me mightily. 1 Thess. 1:5. For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your Sake. 1 Thess. 2:13. The word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, 2 Thess. 1:10.

Nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. 2. Tim. 1:10. But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, Who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: 2 Tim. 2:3. Thou therefore endure hard- ness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. Heb. 4:2. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them : but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. Heb. 5:13. For every one that useth milk Žs unskilful in the word of righteousness: Heb. 6:1. Teaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfec- tion; Heb. 7:19. The law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did, by the which we draw nigh unto God. Jas. 1:18. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, 21. Wherefore . . . receive with meekness the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 25. Whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 1 Pet. 1:23. Being born again, not of cor- ruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word Of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 25. The word Of the LOrd endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. Isa. 40:8. 1 Pet. 4:6. For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the Spirit. 1 Pet. 5:12.

We have not followed cum- ningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 19. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shin- eth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 2 Pet. 2:2. And many shall follow their per- nicious ways: by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 21. For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy com- mandment delivered unto them. 1 John 2:8. The darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. Jude 3. It was needful for me to write un- to you, and exhort yout that ye should ear- nestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the Saints. Rev. 14:6.

Behold, the days come, Saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah : 32. Not according to the Covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my COve- nant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD : 33. But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, Saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD : for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, Saith the LORD : for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Heb. 7:22. By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. Heb. 8:6. But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 7. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been Sought for the second. 8. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, Saith the Lord, when I will make a new Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Ju- dah: 9. Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, Saith the Lord. 10. For this is the cov- enant that I will make with the house of Is- rael after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11. And they shall not teach every man his neigh- bour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their -sils and their iniquities will I remember no more. 13. In that he saith, A new cove- 77 (tºt, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Heb. 9:8. The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first taber- nacle was yet standing: 9. Which was a fig- ure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; 10. Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal Ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. 11.

Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for ºts. 13. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer Sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15. And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testa- ment, that by means of death, for the re- demption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. - Heb. 10:9. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. - Heb. 12:22. But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23. To the general as- sembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made per- fect, 24. And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better thingsthan that of Abel. PROPHECIES RELATING TO: Psa. 46:4.

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath : for the heavens shall vanish away like Smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. Isa. 52:7. How beautiful upon the moun- tains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth Salva- º that Saith unto Zion, Thy God reign- eth ! Isa. 55:1. Ho, every one that, thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath I].O money; come ye, buy, and eat; 'yśā, come, buy wine and milk withotit móhey and without price. 2. Whereforé do ye spend money for that which is not bread 2 and your labour for that which satisfieth not ? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself infatness. 3. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soulshall live ; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercios of David. 4. Be- hold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the peo- ple. 5. Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Is- rael: for he hath glorified thee. Isa. 60:1. Arise, shine : for thy light is come, and the glory of the TORD is risen upon thee. 2. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. , 3. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 4. Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. 5. Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged ; because the abundance of the Sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gen- tiles shall come unto thee. 6. The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah ; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and in- cense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD. 7. All the flocks of Kedarshall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine 523 GOSPEI.—PROPHECIES RELATING TO. altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory. 8. Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows 2 9. Sure- ly the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy Sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee. 10. And the Sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I Smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee. 11. Therefore thy gates shall be opened continually; they shall not be shut day nor night ; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought. 12. For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish ; yea, those nations shall be ut- terly wasted. 13. The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my Sanctuary ; and I will make the place of my feet glorious. 14. The Sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bend- ing unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet ; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. 15. Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. 16. Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob. 17. Eor brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron : I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness. 18. Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. 19. The sun shall be no more thy light by day : neither for bright- ness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlast- ing light, and thy God thy glory. 20. Thy Sun shall no more go down ; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. 21. Thy peo- ple also shall be all righteous: they shall in- herit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. 22. A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time. Isa. 61:1. The Spirit of the Lord GoD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenheart- ed, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2. To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of Our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3. To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. Ezek. 34:23. And I will set up One Shep- herd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. 24. And I the IORD will be their God, and my Servant David a prince among them ; I the LORD have spoken it. 25. And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land : and they shall dwell safely in the wilder- ness, and sleep in the woods. 26. And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season ; there shall be showers of blessing. 27. And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them. 28. And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid. 29. And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. 30. Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD. 31. And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am? your God, saith the Lord GOD. Ezek. 47:8. These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the des- ert, and go into the sea; which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. 12. By the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary : and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine. vs. 1–12. Joel 2:28. And it shall come to pass after- ward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29. And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour Out my spirit. 30. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31. The Sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come. 32. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name 524 GOSPEL. GOVERNMENT. of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath Said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call. - Mic. 4:1. But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. 2. And many nations shall come, and Say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob ; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 3. And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong na- tions afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 4. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it. 5. For all people will walk every one in he name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD Our God for ever and ever. 6. In that day, Saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; 7. And I will make her that halt- ed a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever. Matt. 24:14. And this gospel of the king- dom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

And it came to pass on the morrow, that MOSes sat to judge the people: and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening. 14. And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he said, 'What is this thing that thou doest to the people? Why sittest thou thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even 3 15. And MOSes Said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me to enquire of God: 16. When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between One and an- other, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws. 17. And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is not good. 18. Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with thee: for this, thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to figrform it thyself alone. 19. Hearken now into my voice, I will give thee counsel, and; thee: Be thou for the pećiple to God-ward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God: 20. And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do. 21. Moreover thou shalt pro- vide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; | and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 22. And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee. 23. If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace. 24. So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that he had said. 25. And Moses chose able men Out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens, 26. And they judged the people at all sea- sons: the hard causes they brought unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves. Num. 11:16. And the LORD said unto Mo- ses, Gather unto me seventy men of the eld- ers of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them ; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee. 17. And I will COme down and talk with thee there : and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone. 24. And Moses went out, and 525 GQWERNMENT.—Mosaic. told the people the words of the IORD, and gathered the Seventy men of the elders of the people, and Set them round about the tabernacle. 25. And the LORD came down in a cloud, and Spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the Seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not cease. Deut. 1:9. And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you my- Self alone: 10. The LORD your God hath mul- tiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude. 11. (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thou- Sand times so many more as ye are, and bleSS you, as he hath promised you!) 12. How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife? 13. Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you. 14. And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken 2s good for us to do. 15. So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains Over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains Overtens, and officers among your tribes. 16. And I charged your judges at that time, Saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man, and his brother, and the stranger that is with him. 17. Ye shall not respect persons injudg- ment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great ; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it. - |POPULAR, BY A NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES: Accepted, and agreed to, the law given by Moses, Ex. 19:7,8; 24:3, 7; Deut. 29:10–15.

And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and yeshall Say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD Our God. Ex. 4:29. And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the chil- dren of Israel: [Ex. 12:21; 17:5,6; 18:12; Lev. 9:1; Num. 16:25; Deut. 5:23.] 30. And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had Spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. 31. And the people be- lieved: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped. Ex. 19:7. And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD Com- manded him. 8. And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD. Ex. 24:1. And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off. 14. And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur are with you : if any man have any matters to do, let him come unto them. - Lev. 4:15. And the elders of the congrega- tion shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the LORD : and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD. t Num. 11:16. And the LORD Said unto Mo- ses, Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people, and officers over them ; and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation, that they may stand there with thee. 17. And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them ; and they shall bear the bur- den of the people with thee, that thou bear # not thyself alone. 18. And Say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh : for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat 2 for it was well with usin Egypt: therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and yeshalleat. 30. And Mosesgat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. Deut. 1:13. Take you wise men, and un- derstanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you. 14. And ye answered me, and Said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do. 15. So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads Over you, captains over thousands, and cap- tains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes. Deut. 27:1. And Moses with the elders of Israel Commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day. - Deut. 29:10. Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel, 11. Your little Ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water: 12. That 526 GOVERNMENT.-CONSTITUTIONAL–ECCLESIASTICAL – HMPERIAL–-MONARCHICAL, thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day: 13. That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 14. Nei- ther with you only do I make this covenant and this oath; 15. But with him that stand- eth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day: Deut. 31:9. And Moses wrote this law, and delivered if unto the priests the Soils of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel. 28. Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may Speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them. Josh. 7:6. And Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the eld- ers of Israel, and put dust upon their heads. Josh. 8:10. And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai. 32. And he wrote there upon the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the chil- dren of Israel. 33. And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood On this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Tevites, which bare the ark Cf the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them ; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal: as Moses the servant of the LORD had com- manded before, that they should bless the people of Israel. Josh. 23:2. And Joshua called for all Is- rael, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and stricken in age: 3. And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you ; for the LORD your God is he that hath fought for you. 6. Be ye there- fore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of MO- ses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left; Josh. 24:1. And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God. 24. And the people said unto Joshua, The LORD Our God will we serve, and his voice will we Obey. 25. So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an Ordinance in Shechem. Judg. 21:16. Then the elders of the Con- gregation said, How shall we do for wives for them that remain, seeing the women are destroyed out of Benjamin 4 17. And they said, There must be an inheritance for them that be escaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not destroyed out of Israel. vs. 18–25. Acts 5:17. Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled With indignation, 18. And laid their hands On the apostles, and put them in the com- mon prison. 21. And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the counsel together, and all the sen- ate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. with vs. 22–41.

And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which the LORD Com- manded him. 8. Andall the people answered together, and Said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD. Deut. 26:16–19. Deut. 29:1. These cºre the words of the covenant, which the TORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb. 2. And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the TORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pha- raoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land; 3. The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles: 4. Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to See, and ears to hear, unto this day. 5. And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot. 6. Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God. 7. And when ye came unto this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we Smote them : 8. And we took their —m- land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh. 9. Keep there- fore the words of this Covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do. 10. Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the men of Israel, 11. Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water: 12. That thou should- est enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his Oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day: 13. That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 1 Sam. 8:6. But the thing displeased Sam- uel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD. 7. And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.

But, Jeze- bel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread & 6. And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it; and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard. 7. And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel ? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Na- both the Jezreelite. 8. So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his Seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth. 9. And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and Set Naboth on high among the people: 10. And Set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear wit- ness against him, saying, Thou didst blas- pheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die. 11. And the men of his city, even the eld- ers and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them. 12. They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people. 13. And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him; and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with Stones, that he died. 528 GOVERNMENT.—DUTY OF CITIZENS TO—GOD IN–UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES. Prov. 25:5.

And they brought unto him a penny. 20. And he Saith unto them, Whose is this image and superScription? 21. They say unto him, Cae- Sar's. Then Saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's ; and unto God the things that are God’s. Luke 20:25. Rom. 13:1. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same : 4. For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a re- venger to eacecute wrath upon him that do- eth evil. 5. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for con- Science sake. 6. For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is date; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. Tit. 3:1.

Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of Tavid, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. - Jer. 1:9. Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 10. See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. Jer. 18:6.

And at what instant Ishall speak concern- ing a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it : 10. If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, where with I said I would benefit them. Jer. 25:12. And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it per- petual desolations. 13. And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pro- nounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations. 14. For many nations and great kings shall Serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them ac- cording to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands. 15. For thus saith the TORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. 16. And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. 17.

I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord GOD. Dan. 2:20. Daniel answered and said, Bless- ed be the name of God for ever and ever: for Wisdom and might are his: 21. And he changeth the times and the seasons: he re- moveth kings, and setteth up kings: he giv- eth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: 37. Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. Dan. 4:17. This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomSO- ever he will, and settethup over it the basest of men. Dan. 5:18. O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzarthy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour: 19. And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him : whom he would he slew ; and whom he would helcept alive; and whom he would he set up ; and whom he would he put down. 20. But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him : 21. And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like Oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will. 22. And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this; 23. But hast lifted up thy- self against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which See not, nor hear, nor know ; and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified: 24. Then was the part of the hand sent from him ; and this writing was written. 25. And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. 26. This is the inter- pretation of the thing: MENE: God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. 27. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. 28.

And he believed in the LORD ; and he counted it to him for righteousness. Gen. 20:6. And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart ; for I also with- held thee from sinning against me: there- fore suffered I thee not to touch her. Deut. 7:6. Forthou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto him- Self, above all people that are upon the face Of the earth. 7. The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people ; for ye were the fewest of all people: 8. But be- cause the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn. unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9. IGnow therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth Covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand gen- erations; Deut. 9:4. Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my right- eousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee. 5. Not for thy righteous- ness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 6. Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people. *. Job 10:12. Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. Job 22:2. Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself 2 3.

O my God, incline thine ear, and hear ; Open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name : for we do not present our suppli- cations before thee for Our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies. - Dan. 10:18. Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me, 19. And Said, O man greatly beloved, fear not : peace be unto thee; be strong, yea, be Strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my Lord Speak; for thou hast strengthened me. John 6:44. No man can come to me, ex- cept the Father which hath sent me draw him : and I will raise him up at the last day. 45. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. John 17:11. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the Son of perdition ; that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 15. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. Acts 4:29. And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, 30. By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. Acts 26:22. Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witness- ing both to Small and great, Rom. 3:22. Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24. Being justified freely by his grace through the re- demption that is in Christ Jesus: Rom. 4:4. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 16. Therefore Žt is of faith, that if yºg/ºt be by grace; to the end the promise might be sureto all the seed; 5ö& GRACE OF GOD. Rom. 5:2. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 6. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man SOme would even dare to die. 8. But God Com- mendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. , 15. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of One many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by One man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16. And not as it was by One that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. , 17. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abun- dance of grace and of the gift of righteous- ness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. 18. Therefore as by the offence of one judg- ment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, SO by the obedi- ence of one shall many be made righteous. 20. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21. That as sin hath reigned unto death, even So might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 9:10. And not only this ; but when Rebecca also had conceived by One, even by our father Isaac ; 11. (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God ac- cording to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) 12. It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. 13. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. 14. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God 2 God forbid. 15. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16. So then Øt is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. Rom. 11:5. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 6. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: Otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. 1 Cor. 1:4. I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 5. That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utter- ance, and in all knowledge; 6. Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: 7. So that ye come behind in no gift; wait- ing for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8. Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 10:13. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Cor. 15:10. By the grace of God I am what I am : and his grace which was be- Stowed upon me was not in vain; but I la- boured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 2 Cor. 1:12. Our rejoicing is this, the testi- mony of Our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wis- dom, but by the grace of God, we have had Our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. - Gal. 1:15. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 16. To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: Eph. 1:5. Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6. To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7. In whom we have redemp- tion through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8. Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 9. Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, ac- cording to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 11. In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predes- tinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his Own will: 12. That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Eph. 2:8. By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9. Not of works, lest any man should boast. Eph. 3:16. That he would grant you, ac- cording to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; Eph. 47. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Eph. , 6:10. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. - Phil. 1:19.

That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; 11. Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by §º Christ, unto the glory and praise of OOl. Phil. 3:12. Not as though I had already at- tained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. , 15. I let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: Col. 1:10. That ye might walk worthy of tl, Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11. Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Col. 2:19. And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit ºther increaseth with the increase of OCl. 1 Thess. 3:10. Night and day praying ex- ceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith? 12. And the Lord make you to in- crease and abound in love one toward an- Other, and toward all mezz, even as we do toward you : 13. To the end he may stab- lish your hearts unblameable in holiness be- fore God, even our Father, at the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. 2 Thess. 1:3. We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, be- cause that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth ; Heb. 6:1. Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2. Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrec- tion of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3. And this will we do, if God permit. 1 Pet. 2:1. Wherefore laying aside all mal- ice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and en- vies, and all evil speakings, 2. As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby : 3. If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 2 Pet. 3:18. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. GRACES. Christian. Matt. 5:3. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for their's is the king- dom of heaven. 4. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7. Blessed are the mer- ciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8. Blessed are the pure in heart : for they shall see God. 9. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake : for their's is the king- dom of heaven. 11. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my Sake. Hj.33 GRACES. GROVES. |Rom. 5:3. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribula- tion worketh patience; 4. And patience, ex- perience; and experience, hope: 5. And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in Our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 1 Cor. 13:1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as Sounding brass, Or a tinkling cymbal. 2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge ; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not char- ity, it profiteth me nothing. 4. Charity Suf- fereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6. Rejoiceth notininiquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8. Charity never fail- eth : but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 13. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Gal. 5:22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, good- meSS, faith, 23. Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 2 Pet. 1:5. And beside this, giving all dili- gence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6. And to knowledge temperance ; and to temperance patience ; and to patience godliness; 7. And to god- liness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot See afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

OF THE RIGHTEOUS: Deut. 33:29. Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! Job 5:17. Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth : therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: 18. For he maketh sore, and bindeth up ; he wound- eth, and his hands make whole. 19. He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 20. In famine he shall redeem thee from death : and in war from the power of the sword. 21. Thou shalt be hid from the Scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. 22. At de- struction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt, thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. 23. For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. 24. And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. 25. Thou shalt know also that thy Seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. 26. Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. 27. To this, we have searched it, SO º Øs; hear it, and know thou it for thy goOCl. Psa. 36:8. They shall be abundantly satis- fied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. Psa. 40:8. I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. Psa. 63:5. My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: Psa. 128:1. Blessed is every One that fear- eth the LORD ; that walketh in his ways. 2. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: hºy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. Psa. 133:1. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity Psa. 144:15. Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD. Psa. 146:5. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: Prov. 3:13. Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth under- standing: 14. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. 15. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be com- pared unto her. 16. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. 17. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. 18. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that re- taineth her. Prov. 14:21. He that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. Prov. 16:20. Whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy Žs he. Prov. 28:14. Happy is the man that fear- eth alway : Prov. 29:18. He that keepeth the law, happy is he. Eccl. 2:24. There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand Of GOd. 25. For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereºtyvio, more than I? 26. For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy ; but to the sinner he givethtravail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit. Eccl. 3:12. I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 13. And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. 22. Wherefore I perceive that there is noth- ing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him 3 Isa. 12:2. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid : for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. 3. There- fore with joy shall ye draw water out of the Wells of salvation. Matt. 5:3. Blessed are the poor in spirit : 538 HAPPINESS. H.A.R.U.M. for their's is the kingdom of heaven. 4. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall ob- tain mercy. 8. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake; for their's is the kingdom of heaven. 11. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Rom. 5:2. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 2 Cor. 12:10. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. Phil. 4:7. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 1 Pet. 3:14. But and if ye suffer for right- eousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled : 1 Pet. 4:12. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though Some strange thing happened unto you: 13. But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. See JOY : PEACE: PRAISE.

Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart : thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him. Psa. 25:19. Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with Cruel hatred. - Psa. 35:19. Det not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. Prov. 10:12. Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. . 18. He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. Prov. 15:17. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled Ox and hatred there with. Prov. 26:24. He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; 25. When he speaketh fair, believe him not : for there are seven abominations in his heart. 26. Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. Matt. 5:43. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44. But I Say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Matt. 6:15. If ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matt. 10:22. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that en- dureth to the end shall be saved. John 15:18. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 23. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 24. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. John 17:14.

He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 11. He that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in dark- ness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. 1 John 3:10. Whosoever doeth not right- eousness is not of God, neither he that lov- eth not his brother. 13. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 14. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 15. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 1 John 4:20.

Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to an- other, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that Cometh forth from the LORD. 31. And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my peo- ple, and they hearthy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. 32. And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hearthy words, but they do them not. Matt. 7:24. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not : for it was founded upon a rock. 26. And every one that heareth these Say- ings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand ; 27. And the rain de- scended, and the floods came, and the Wii. Cls blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Luke 6:49. 541 HEARERS. HEART. Matt. 13:14. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall See, and shall not perceive : 15. For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 19. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catch- eth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. 20. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it. 21. Yet hath he not root in himself, but dur- eth for a while : for when tribulation or per- secution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this workd, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. 23. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understand- eth it; which also beareth fruit, and bring- eth forth, Some an hundredfold, some sixty, Some thirty. Tuke 8:11–15. Tom. 2:13. For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. Jas. 1:19. Wherefore, my beloved breth- ren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 22. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiv- ing your own selves. 23. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24. For he beholdeth himself, and go- eth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

Yea, the dark- ness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day : the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. Prov. 5:21.

That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God. 21.

In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month : and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3. And there shall be no more Curse : but the throne of God and Of the Lamb shall be in it : and his servants shall serve him: 4.

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matt. 6:20. Tay up for yourselves treas- ures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: Luke 12:33. Matt. 8:11.

What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they # 14. These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the 16. They more ; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Isa. 49:9,10. Rev. 14:1. A Lamb stood On the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 2. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3. And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and be- fore the four beasts, and the elders: and no 547 IIEAVEN.—THF PHYSICAL HEAVENS. man could learn that Song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. Rev. 15:2. I saw as it were a Sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his im- age, and over his mark, and Over the num- ber of his name, stand on the Sea of glass, having the harps of God. Rev. 21:1. I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2.

And I heard a great voice Out of heaven saying, Behold, the taber- nacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. 9. Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Tamb's wife. 10. And he car- ried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, . 11. Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as Crystal : 18. The building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. 19. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all man- ner of precious stones. gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. 22. And I saw no temple therein : for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23. And the city had no need of the Sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it : for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 24. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it : and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. 25. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 27. There shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever work- eth abomination, or maketh a lie: but they lºh are written in the Lamb's book of ife. Rev. 22:1.

And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. 6. But unto the sons of the Concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and Sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country. Lev. 25:45. Moreover of the children of the strangers that do Sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begatin your land: and they shall be your possession, 46. And yeshall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a pos- Session; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Is- rael, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour. Num. 27:8. And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inherit- ance to pass unto his daughter. 9. And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his brethren. 10. And if he 550 * HEIR.—FIGURATIVE. have no brethren, then ye shall give his in- heritance unto his father's brethren. 11. And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall pos- sess it : and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the LORD commanded MOSes. Num. 36:1. And the chief fathers of the fam- ilies Of the children of Gilead, the son of Ma- chir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the Sons of Joseph, came near, and Spake be- fore Moses, and before the princes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel: 2. And they said, The TORD commanded my lord to give the land for an inheritance by lot to the chil- dren of Israel: and my lord was commanded by the LORD to give the inheritance of Zelo- phehad our brother unto his daughters. 3. And if they be married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then shall their inheritance be taken from the in- heritance of our fathers, and shall be put to the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received ; SO shall it be taken from the lot of our inheritance. 4. And when the ju- bile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inher- itance of the tribe whereunto they are re- ceived: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers. 5. And Moses commanded the chil- dren of Israel according to the word of the TORD, saying, The tribe of the Sons of Jo- seph hath said well. 6. This is the thing which the LORD doth command concerning the daughters Of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry to whom they think best ; only to the family of the tribe of their father shall they marry. 7. So shall not the in- heritance of the children of Israel remove from tribe to tribe: for every one of the children of Israel shall keep himself to the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers. 8. And every daughter that possesseth an in- heritance in any tribe of the children of Is- rael, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers. Josh. 17:3–6. Deut. 21:15. If a man have two wives, One beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be her’s that was hated: 16. Then it shall be, when he maketh his Sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn ; 17. But he shall acknowledge the Son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double por- tion of all that he hath : for he is the be- ginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his. - Ruth 4:1. Then went Boaz up to the gate, and sat him down there: and, behold, the kinsman of whom Boaz spake came by ; unto whom he said, Ho, Such a one l turn aside, sit down here. And he turned aside, and Sat down. 2. And he took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye down here. And they sat down. 3. And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that is come again Out of the country of Moab, selleth a parcel of land, which was Our brother Elimelech's : 4. And I thought to advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem 8t, redeem it.: but if thou wilt not redeem it, they, tell me, that I may know : for there is none to redeem it beside thee; and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it. 5. Then said Boaz, What day thou buyest the field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also of Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance. 6. And the kins- man said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it. 7. Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concern- ing changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour ; and this was a testimony in Is- rael. 8. Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe. 9. And Boaz said unto the elders, and unto all the people, Ye are witnessess this day, that I have bought all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's and Mahlon’s, of the hand of Naomi. 10. Moreover Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of Mahlon, have I pur- chased to be my wife, to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and from the gate of his place: ye are witnesses this day. 11. And all the people that were in the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. The LORD make the woman that is come into thine house like Bachel and like Leah, which two did build the house of Israel: and do thou worth- ily in Ephratah, and be famous in Beth-le- hem : 12. And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed of which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman. Eccl. 2:18. Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the Sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me. 19. And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man, or a fool 2 yet shall he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed my- Self wise under the sun. This is also vanity. See INHERITANCE : BIRTHRIGHT: FIRST- BORN ; ORPHAN: WILL. FIGURATIVE: Rom. 8:14. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15.

Scriptures, cited below, and is the translation of the Hebrew word sheol, which signifies the unseen state. In the R. V. of O. T. it appears only in Isa. 5:14; 14:9, 15; 28:15,18; 57.9; Ezek. 31:16,17; 32:21,27; Amos 9:2; Jonah 2:2; Hab. 2:5. In Deut. 32:22, and Psa. 86:13, in the R. V., sheol is translated “lowest pit,” and in Psa. 55:15 it is translated “pit.” In the R. V. the word Sheol itself Occurs in the following scriptures: 2 Sam. 22:6; Job 11:8; 26:6; Psa. 9:17; 16:10; 18:5; 116:3: 139:8; Prov. 5:5; 7:27; 9:18; 15:11,24; 23:14; 27:20. Sheol is translated grave in A. V. in Gen. 37:35; 42:38; 44:29,31; 1 Sam. 2:6; 1 Kin. 2:6, 9; Job 7:9; 14:13; 17:13; 21:13; 24:19; Psa. 6:5; 30:3; 31:17; 49:14,15; 88:3; 89:48; 141:7; Prov. 1:12; 30:16; Eccl. 9:10; Song 8:6; Hos. 13:14. In the R. V. the Greek word gehenna is translated “hell” in the following scrip- tures: Matt. 5:22,29,30; 10:28; 18:9; 23:15,33; Mark 9:43,45,47; Luke 12:5; Jas. 3:6. The R. V. has introduced hades, the word found in the Greek text, which signifies the unseen world, in the following scriptures: Matt. 11:23; 16:18; Luke 10:15; 16:23; Acts 2:27,31; Rev. 1:18; 6:8; 20:13,14. THE FUTURE ABODE OF THE WICKED: Psa. 9:17. The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Prov. 5:5. Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. Prov. 9:13. A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing. 14. For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city, 15. To call passengers who go right on their ways: 16. Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understand- ing, she saith to him, 17. Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eate?? in Secret is pleasant. 18. But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell. Prov. 15:24. The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell be- neath. Prov. 23:13. Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. 14. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his Soul from hell. Isa. 30:33. Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large : the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it. Isa. 33:14. The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with ever- lasting burnings? Matt. 3:12. Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. Matt. 5:29. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy mem- bers should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. v. 30. Matt. 7:13. Wide is the gate, and broad Čs the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat : v. 14. Matt. 8:11. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 12. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast Out into Outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matt. 10:28. Rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matt. 13:30. Let both grow together until the harvest; and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ve together 552 HELT. HEMAM. first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. 38. The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom ; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39. The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels, 40. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; SO shall it be in the end of this world. 41. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42. And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 49. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just. 50. And shall cast them into the fur- nace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Matt. 16:18. And I Say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church ; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matt. 18:8. Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. 9. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. 34. And his lord was wroth, and de- livered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. 35. So like- wise shall my heavenly Father do also un- to you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses. Matt. 22:13. Cast him into Outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matt. 25:28. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten tal- ents. 29. For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer dark- ness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 41. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 46. These shall go away into everlasting punishment: Mark 9:43. It is better for thee to enter in- to life maimed, than having two hands to go intº hell, into the fire that never shall be quel tohed: 44. Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. vs. 45–48. Maſº. 5:29. Like 3:17. Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the chałł he will burn with fire unquenchable. Mat 1. 3:12. Luke 16:23. In hell he lift up his eyes, be- ing in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24. And he cried and Said, Father Abraham, have mer- cy on me, and Send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 26. Between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: So that they which would pass from hence to you cannot ; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. vs. 25,28; Acts 1:25. 2 Thess. 1:9. Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 2 Pet. 2:4. If God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment: Jude 6. The angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 23. And others save with fear, pull- ing them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Bev. 9:1. To him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2. And he opened the bot- tomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the Smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. Rev. 11.7. Rev. 14:10. The same shall drink Of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his in- dignation ; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb : 11. The Smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, Rev. 19:20. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet . . . These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. Rev. 20:10. The devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. 15. Whosoever was not found written in the book of life was Cast into the lake of fire. Rev. 21:8. But the fearful, and unbeliev- ing, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idol- aters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brim- stone: which is the second death.

I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in One; Acts24:16. And herein dolexercise myself, to have always a conscience void of Offence toward God, and toward men. Rom. 2:28. For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumci- sion, which is outward in the flesh : 29. But he is a Jew, 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. Rom. 6:1. What shall we say then 2 Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2. God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein 7 3. Know ye not, that So many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death ? 4. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection : 6. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7. For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion Over him. 10. For in that he died, he died unto sin once : but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12. Tet not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13. Neither yield ye your members as in- struments of unrighteousness unto sin; but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members ad 558 HOLINESS. instruments of righteousness unto God. 14. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15. What then 3 shall we sin, be- cause we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. 16. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves Servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey : whether of sin unto death, or of obedience untorighteousness? 17. But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 18. Being then made free from sin, ye became the Servants of righteousness. 19. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh : for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity ; even. So now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. 20. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from right- eousness. 21. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed ? for the end of those things is death. 22. But now being made free from sin, and be- come servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ Our TOrd. Rom. 7:4. Ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. 6. We are delivered from the law, that be- ing dead wherein we were held ; that we should Serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. Rom. 8:1. There is therefore now no con- demnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 4. That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 12. Brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. Rom. 11:16. For if the first fruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. Rom. 12:1. Ibeseech youtherefore, breth- ren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, accepta- ble unto God, which is your reasonable Service. 2. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renew- ing of your mind, that ye may prove what Žs that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 9. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Rom. 13:12. The night is far spent, the day is at hand : let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put On the armour of light. 13. Let us walk honestly as in the day; 14. Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. Rom. 14:17. The kingdom of God is not meat, and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Rum. 16:19. I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. - 1 Cor. 3:16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17. If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy: for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye 8.T62. 1 Cor. 5:7. Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. 1 Cor. 6:12. All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 13. The body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 19. What ? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own 2 20. For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. 1 Cor. 7:23. Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. 1 Cor. 8.12. When ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. - 1 Cor. 10:21. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye can- not be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils. 31. Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32. Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the Church of God: 1 Cor. 12:31. Covet earnestly the best gifts: 1 Cor. 15:34. Awake to righteousness, and sin not : 2 Cor. 6:14. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellow- ship hath righteousness with unrighteous- ness? and what communion hath light with darkness 2 15. And what Concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16. And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols : for ye are the temple of the living God; 17. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Tord, and touch not the unclean thing ; and I will receive you, 2 Cor. 7:1. Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfect- ing holiness in the fear of God. 2 Cor. 10:3. Though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 5.

I have espoused you to one husband, * I may present you as a chaste virgin to W \,\rist. 559 HOLINESS. 2 Cor. 13:7. I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, 8. We can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. Gal. 2:17. If, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sin- ners, is therefore Christ the minister of Sin Ż God forbid. Gal. 5:22. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, good- ness, faith, 23. Meekness, temperance : against such there is no law. , 24. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Gal. 6:15. In Christ Jesus neither circum- cision availeth any thing, nor uncircum- cision, but a new creature. Eph. 1:4. He hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love : 13. In whom also after that ye be- lieved ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14. Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the pºsed possession, unto the praise of his Ory. Eph. 2:21. In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy tem- ple in the Lord ; 22. In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. Eph. 4:20. Ye have not so learned Christ; 21. If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22. That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23. And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24. And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. - Eph. 5:1. Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 3. But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be Once named among you, as becometh Saints; 8. Ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord : walk as chil- dren of light: 9. (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10. Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. , 11. Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Phil. 1:10. That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ ; 11. Being filled with the fruits of righteous- ness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. Phil. 2:15. Be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a Crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Phil. 4:8. Whatsoeverthings are true, what- soever things are honest, whatsoever things --sº-sº º are just, whatsoever things are pure, what soever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Col. 1:22. To present you holy and un- blameable and unreproveable in his sight: Col. 3:5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, un- cleanness, inordinate affection, evil concu- piscence, and covetousness, which is idola- try: 6. For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedi- ence: 7. In the which ye also walked Some time, when ye lived in them. 8. But now ye also put off all these ; anger, wrath, mal- ice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. 9. Lie not one to another, See- ing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10. And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after theimage of him that created him : 12. Put On therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, hum- bleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering ; 13. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any : even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of per- fectness. 15. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body : and be ye thankful. 1 Thess. 2:12. That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his king- dom and glory. * 1 Thess. 3:13. To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. 1 Thess. 4:3. For this is the will Of God, even your Sanctification, that ye should ab- stain from fornication : 4. That every one of you should know how to possess his ves- sel in Sanctification and honour; 7. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. . 1 Thess. 5:5. Yeare all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 22. Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23. And the very God of peace Sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the com- ing of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 2Thess. 2:13. God hath from the beginning chosen you to Salvation through sanctifica- tion of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 1 Tim. 1:5. The end of the commandment is charity Out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned : 1 Tim, 4:8. Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 12. Be thou an example of the believers, in word, in con- versation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Tim, 5:22. Neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure. -- - 560 HOLINESS. 1 Tim. 6:6. Godliness with contentment is great gain. 11. O man of God, . . . follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 12. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, where- unto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 2 Tim. 2:19. Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 21. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, Sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. 22. Flee also youth- fullusts: but follow righteousness, faith, char- ity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. vs. 16,17. 2 Tim. 3:17. That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. Tit. 1:15. Unto the pure all things are pure: Tit. 2:9. Exhort servants . . . 10. . . . that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. 12. Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live Soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Heb. 4:3. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 9. There remain- eth therefore a rest to the people of God. Heb. 10:22. Having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Heb. 12:1. Let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is Set before us, 14. Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall See the Lord: 15. Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; v. 10. Heb. 13:9. It is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; Jas. 1:21. Lay apart all filthiness and super- fluity of naughtiness, 27. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. Jas. 3:17. The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to beintreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. Jas. 4:4. Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 1 Pet. 1:14. As obedient children, not fash- ioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: 15. But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of Conversation ; 16. Because it is written, Be ye holy ; for I am holy. 1 Pet. 2:1. Ilaying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 5. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priest- hood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, accept. able to God by Jesus Christ. 9. Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 11. I beseech you as Strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the Soul; 12. Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by you?' good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. 24. Who his Own self bare Our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: 1 Pet. 3:11. Let him eschew evil, and do good ; Psa. 34:14. 1 Pet. 4:1. Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 2. That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 6. For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged ac- cording to men in the flesh, but live accord- ing to God in the spirit. 7. The end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore Sober, and watch unto prayer. 2 Pet. 1:5. Giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6. And to knowledge temperance; and to tem- perance patience ; and to patience godliness; 7. And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. vs. 2–4. 2 Pet. 3:11. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons Ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12. TOOking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, 14. Seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 1 John 1:6. If we say that we have fellow- ship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth : 7. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fel- lowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all SIll. 1 John 2:1. My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. 5. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 29. If ye know that he is righteous, yel; now that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. 1 John 3:3. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 6. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not : whosoever sinneth hath not SCCn lii111, neither known him. 9. Whosoever is born (36) 56l HOLINESS. HOLY SPIRIT. of God doth not commit sin; for his seed re- maineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. vs. 7,8. 1John 5:4. Whatsoever is born of God Over- cometh the world : and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God 2 18. We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not ; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. 21. Tittle children, keep yourselves from idols. 2 John 4. I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. 3 John 11. Follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. Rev. 14:4. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were re- deemed from among men, being the first- fruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. Rev. 18:4. Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, Rev. 19:8. To her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of Saints.

Woe to the rebellious children, Saith the TORD, that take counsel, but not of me ; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: Isa. 32:15.

I indeed baptize you with wa- terunto repentance: but . . . he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: [John 1:33; Acts 11:16.] 16.

And lo a voice from heaven, Saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Mark 1:10; Luke 3:22; John 1:32. Matt. 4:1. Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. Matt. 10:20. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speak- eth in you. Mark 13:11.

Whosoever drinketh of the wa- ter that I shall give him shall never thirst : but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water Springing up into everlasting life. John 6:45. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, Cometh unto me. 63. It is the spirit that quickeneth; John 7:38. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that be- lieve on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) John 14:16. I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot re- ceive, because it Seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 15:26. When the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Fa- ther, even the Spirit of truth, which pro- ceedeth from the Father, he shall testifyofme: John 16:7. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9. Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10. Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye See me 110 more; 11. Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. 12. I have yet many things to Say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. , 14. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. John 20:22. He breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Acts 1:2. Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen: 5. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 8. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: 16. Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. Acts 2:2. And suddenly there came a Sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it Sat upon each of them. 4. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 33. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having re- ceived of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now See and hear. 38. Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized . . . in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 4:8. Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, Said unto them, Ye rulers of the peo- ple, and elders of Israel, 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 boldness. Acts 5:3. Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost' 4. Thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 9. Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit Of the Lord 2 32. We are his witnesses . . . and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. Acts 6:5. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, Acts 7:51. Ye stiftnecked and uncircum- cised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. Acts 8:15. Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might re- ceive the Holy Ghost: 16. (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17. Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. 18. And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 19. Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. Acts 9:31. Then had the churches rest . . . and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied. Acts 10:19. While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee. 20. Arise therefore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing: for I have sent them. 44. While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gen- tiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then an- HOLY SPIRIT. swered Peter, 47. Can any man forbid wa- ter, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? Acts 11:17. Acts 11:15. As I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the begin- ning. 16. Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be bap- tized with the Holy Ghost. 24. He was a good man, and full of the IHoly Ghost, and of faith. Acts 13:2. As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost Said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work where- unto I have called them. 4. So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia: 9. Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, 52. The disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost. Acts 15:8. God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, 28. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; Acts 16:6. Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Gala- tia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia, 7 . . . They assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not. Acts 19:2. He said unto them, Have ye re- ceived the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not So much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. 3. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. 4. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the bap- tism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 5. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. Acts 20:28. Take heed . . . to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, Rom. 1:4. And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: ROm. 5:5. The love Of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. vs. 3–5. Rom. 8:1. There is therefore now no con- demnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 4. That the righteousness of the law might be ful- filled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 9. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his, 11. If the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 13. If ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. , 14. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God. 15. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, where- by we cry, Abba, Father. 16. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 23. And not Only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we our- Selves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 26. The Spirit also helpeth our in- firmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27. And he that Searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh inter- cession for the Saints according to the will of God. vs. 1–27. . Bom. 9:1. I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, Rom. 14:17. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Pom. 15:13. Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. 16. That the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost. 18. For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed. 19. Through mighty signs and won- ders, by the power of the Spirit of God; 30. Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love Of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; 1 Cor. 2:4. My Speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wis- dom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 10. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit search- eth all things, yea, the deep things of God. [Rom. 11:33.34. 11. For what man know- eth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him 2 even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14. But the naturalman receiveth 565 HOLY SPIRIT. not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Cor. 3:16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1 Cor. 6:19. 1 Cor. 6:11. And such were some of you : but ye are washed, but ye are Sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 19. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost 40/vic/ is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your Own 3 1 Cor. 12:3. Wherefore I give you to un- derstand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. 6. And there are diver- sities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7. But the mani- festation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9. To another faith by the same Spirit: to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10. To another the working of mir- acles; to another prophecy; to another dis- cerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11. But all these worketh that one and the Selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 2 Cor. 1:22. Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 2 COr. 5:5. 2 Cor. 3:3. Forasmatch as ye are mani- festly declared to be the opistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart. 6. Ministers of the new testament : not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 8. How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 17. Now the JLord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2 Cor. 5:5. Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 2 Cor. 6:4. In all things approving Selves as the ministers of God, . . . 6 by the Holy Ghost, 2 Cor. 13:14. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the com- munion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Gal. 3:2. Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith ? OUIT"- 3. Are ye so foolish 7 having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh 2 14. That we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Gal. 4:6. Because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Gal. 5:5. We through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. 16. Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17. For the flesh lust- eth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh : and these are contrary the one to the other: So that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23. Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 25. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Gal. 6:8. He that Soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Eph. 1:12. That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13. In whom also after that ye believed, ye were Sealed with that holy Spirit of prom- ise, 14. Which is the earnest of our inher- itance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. 17. That the God of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: Eph. 2:18. Through him [Jesus Christ] we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 22. In whom ye also are builded to- gether for an habitation of God through the Spirit. Eph. 3:5. Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 16. Strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; Eph. 4:3. Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4. There is One body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 30. Grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Eph. 5:9. (The fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 18. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is ex- cess; but be filled with the Spirit; Eph. 6:17. And take the . . . sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18. Praying always with all prayer and suppli- cation in the Spirit, |Phil. 1:19. I know that this shall turn to my Salvation through your prayer, and the Supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, Phil. 2:1. If there be . . . any fellowship of the Spirit, Col. 1:8. Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. 1 Thess, 1:5. For our gospel came not unfo you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance: 566, - IIOLY SPIRIT. 6. And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, . . . with joy of the Holy Ghost: 1 Thess. 4:8. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. 9. But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught Of God to love One another. 1 Thess. 5:19. Quench not the Spirit. 2 Thess. 2:13. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren be- loved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to Salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and be- lief of the truth: 1 Tim. 4:1. Now the Spirit speaketh ex- pressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to Sedu- cing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Tim. 1:7. God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 14. That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. Tit. 3:5. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regen- eration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost: 6. Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ Our Saviour: Heb. 2:4. God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with di- vers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will? Heb. 37. Wherefore as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Heb. 6:4. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partak- ers of the Holy Ghost, Heb. 9:14. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit of- fered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to Serve the living God? - Heb. 10:15. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: 29. Of how much SOrer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, where with he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace 2 1 Pet. 1:2. Elect according to the fore- knowledge of God the Father, through sanc- tification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ : 11. Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the suf- ferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 12. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now re- ported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost Sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. 22. Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one an- other with a pure heart fervently : 1 Pet. 3:18. Christ also hath once suffered for sins, . . . being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 1 Pet. 4:14. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: 2 Pet. 1:21. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man : but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 1 John 2:20. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. 1 John 3:24. Hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. 1 John 4:2. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 13. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 1 John 5:6. It is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are One. 8. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. Jude 19. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. 20. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Rev. 1:4. Grace be unto you, and peace, . . . from the seven Spirits which are before his throne: Rev. 4:5; 5:6. - Rev. 2:7. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; vs. 11,29. º Rev. 11:11. And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet ; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. Rev. 14:13. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from hence- forth : Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. * Rev. 19:10.

The blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. 32. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come. Luke 12:10. - Mark 3:29. But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgive- ness, but is in danger of eternal damnation. Luke 2:10; 1 John 5:16; Acts 5:9. Acts 5:3. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 9. Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord’ behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. Acts 7:51. Ye stiffnecked and uncircum- cised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost ; as your fathers did, so do ye. Acts 8:18. And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, 19. Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. 20. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. 21. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this mat- ter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. 22. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the hºsht of thine heart may be forgiven thee. Eph. 4:30. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Heb. 10:29. Of how much sorer punish- ment, Suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who . . . hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? WITHDRAWN FROM INCORRIGIBLE SINNERS: Gen. 6:3. And the LORD said, My Spirit shall not always strive with man, Deut. 32:30. How should one chase a thou- Sand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the IORD had shut them up 2 Psa. 51:11. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from Iſle. Prov. 1:24. Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded; 25. But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26. I also will laugh at your Calamity; I will mock when your fear conn- eth; 27. When your fear cometh as deso- lation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish com- eth upon you. 28. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: Jer. 7:29. Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation On high places; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath. Hos. 4:17. Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone. 18. Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye. Hos. 5:6. They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD ; but they shall not find him ; he hath withdrawn himself from them. Hos. 9:12. Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them Matt. 15:14. Tet them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Luke 13:7. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? Rom. 1:24. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 26. For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 28. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a rep- robate mind, to do those things which are not convenient : See REPROBACY.

But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman; the Ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death. 30. If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life, whatsoever is laid upon him. 31. Wheth- er he have gored a son, Or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him. 32. If the Ox shall push a manservant Or a maidservant : he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of silver, and the Ox shall be stoned. Num. 35:11. Then ye shall appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person at unawares. 12. And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand be- fore the congregation in judgment. 13. And of these cities which ye shall give, six cities shall ye have for refuge. 14. Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge. 15. These six cities shall be a refuge, both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them : that every One that killeth any person unawares may flee thither. 22. But if he thrust him Sud- denly without enmity, Or have cast upon him any thing without laying of wait, 23. Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him, that he die, and was not his enemy, neither Sought his harm : 24. Then the congregation shall judge between the slayer and the re- venger of blood according to these judg- ments: 25. And the congregation shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil. 26. But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of the city of his refuge, whither he was fled; 27. And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood: 28. Because he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest : but after the death of the high priest the Slayer shall return into the land of his pos- Session. 32. And ye shall take no satisfac- tion for him that is fled to the city of his refuge, that he should come again to dwell in the land, until the death of the priest. Deut. 4:41–43; 19:2–10. Josh. 20:1. The LORD also spake unto Joshua, saying, 2. Speak to the children of Israel, Saying, Appoint out for you cities of refuge, whereof I spake unto you by the hand of Moses: 3. That the slayer that kill- eth any person unawares and unwittingly may flee thither; and they shall be your refuge from the avenger of blood. 4. And when he that doth flee unto one of those cities shall Stand at the entering of the gate of the city, and shall declare his cause in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city unto them, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them. 5. And if the avenger of blood pursue after him, then they shall not deliver the slayer up into his hand; because he smote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated him not beforetime. 6. And he shall dwell in that city, until he stand before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the high priest that shall be in those days: then shall the slayer return, and come unto his own city, and unto his own house, unto the city from whence he fled. 7. And they ap- pointed Kedesh in Galilee in mount Naph- tali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim, and Kirjath-arba, which is Hebron, in the mountain of Judah. 8. And on the other side Jordan by Jericho eastward, they as- signed Bezer in the wilderness upon the plain out of the tribe of Reuben, and Ramoth in Gilead Out of the tribe of Gad, and Golan in Bashan out of the tribe of Manasseh. 9. These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them, that whosoever killeth any person at unawares might flee thither, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, until he stood before the congregation. FELONIOUS, OR MURDER: Gen. 4:9. And the LORD said . . . 10. What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. 11. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand; v. 12. Gen. 9:5. Surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. 6. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. Gen. 49:7. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was ºf I will divide them in Jacob, and Scatter them in Israel. Ex. 20:13. Thou shalt not kill. Deut. 5:17; ROnn. 13:9. Ex. 21:29. But if the Ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath been testified to his Owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath killed a man or a woman ; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be put to death. 30. If there be laid on him a sum of money, then 569 HOMICIDE. he shall give for the ransom of his life what- soever is laid upon him. 31. Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to this judgment shall it be done unto him. 32. If the Ox shall push a man- servant or a maidservant; he shall give unto their master thirty shekels of Silver, and the ox shall be stoned. Num. 35:16.

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the mul- titude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3. For I acknowledge my trans- gressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4. Against thee, thee Only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou might- est be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 5. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean : wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may re- joice. 9. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12. Restore unto me the joy of thy Salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13. Them will I teach trans- gressors thy ways; and sinners shall be con- verted unto thee. 14. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my sal- vation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness, 15. O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16. For thou desirest not sac- rifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17.

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 2 Cor. 3:12. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: Gal. 5:5. We through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. Eph. 1:18. That ye may know what is the hope of his calling, Eph. 4:4. Ye are called in one hope of your calling; Phil. 1:20. According to my earnest ex- pectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be mag- nified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death.

If ye continue in the faith grounded and Settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, 27. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 1 Thess. 1:3. Remembering without ceas- ing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in Our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Thess. 5:8. For an helmet, the hope of Salvation. Eph. 6:17. -- 2 Thess. 2:16. Our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting con- Solation and good hope through grace, - 1 Tim. 1:1. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope; Tit. 1:2. In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began: Tit. 2:13. T.Ooking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and Our Saviour Jesus Christ; Tit. 3:7. That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Heb. 3:6. But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Heb. 6:11. And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end : 18. That . . . we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19. Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both Sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil: Heb. 11:1. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 1 Pet. 1:3. Blessed be the God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. . . . 13. . . . Gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ ; 21. That your faith and hope might be in God. 1 Pet. 3:15. Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a rea- Son of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 1 John 3:3. Every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. See FAITH. OF THE WICKED: Job 8:13. The hypo- crite's hope shall perish: Job 11:20. But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost. Job 27:8. For what is the hope of the hypo- crite, though he hath gained, when God tak- eth away his soul? Job 31:24. If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence; 28. For I should have denied the God that is above. Prov. 10:28. The hope of the righteous sh(t/l be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. Zech. 9:5. Ashkelon shall see it, and fear: Gaza also shall see it, and be very sorrow- ful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed: Eph. 2:12.

Thou Shalt, neither vex a stranger nor oppress him : for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Ex. 23:9. Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Tev. 19:10. And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God. 33. And if a stranger so- journ with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. 34. But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thy- self; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the TORD your God. Lev. 24:22. Ye shall have One manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country : for I am the LORD your God. Deut. 10:18. He doth execute the judg- ment of the fatherless and widow, and lov- eth the stranger, in giving him food and raiment. 19. Love yetherefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Deut. 26:12. When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled; 13. Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the Stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: Ihave not trans- gressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them : Deut. 27:19. Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen. Prov. 9:1. Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: 2. She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table. 3. She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city, 4. Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she Saith to him, 5. Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled. Prov. 23:6. Eat thou not the bread of him. that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: 7. For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he Eat and drink, Saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. 8. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words. Isa. 58:6. Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the op- pressed go free, and that ye break every yoke 2 7. Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him ; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Matt. 22:2. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 3. And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wed- ding: and they would not come. 4. Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have pre- pared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready : come unto the marriage. 5. But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6. And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 7. But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth : and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8. Then saith he to his servants, The wed- ding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9. Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10. So those servants went Out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. Matt. 25:34. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared 576 HOUSE. HOSPITALITY. for you from the foundation of the world: 35. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in : 36. Nakºd, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37. Then shall the righteous an- swer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee 3 or thirsty, and gave thee drink & 38. When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in ? or naked, and clothed thee # 39. Or when saw we thee sick, or in prisoil, and came unto thee ? 40. Aud the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43. I was a stranger, and ye took me not in : naked, and ye clothed me not : sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45. Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did Žt not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the right- eous into life eternal. Luke 14:12. Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a Supper, call not thy friends, northy breth- ren, neitherthy kinsmen, nort/ºgy rich neigh- bours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. 13. But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the mainned, the lame, the blind: 14. And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. Rom. 12:13. Distributing to the necessity of Saints; given to hospitality. Bom. 16:1. I commend unto you Phebe Our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea: 2. That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh Saints, and that yeassist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also. 1 Tim. 3:2. A bishop then must be blame- less, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 1 Tim. 5:10. Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the Saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. - Tit. 1:7. For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self willed, not SOOn angry, not given to wine, no striker, (87) not given to filthy lucre; 8. But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, Sober, just, holy, temperate; Heb. 13:2. Be not forgetful to entertain Strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 1 Pet. 4:9. Use hospitality one to another Without grudging. 10. As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same One to another, as good Stewards of theman- ifold grace of God. 11. If any man speak, let him. Speak as the Oracles of God; if any Iman minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth; - 3 John 5. Beloved, thou doest faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers; 6. Which have borne witness of thy charity before the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly sort, thou shalt do well: 7.

And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the Seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that Sojourneth among you : 30. For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD. 31. It shall be a sabbath of rest un- to you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever. Lev. 23:26. And the LORD spake unto Moses, Saying, 27. Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 28. And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. 29. For whatsoever Soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that Same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. 30. And whatsoever Soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same Soul will I destroy from among his people, 31. Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32. It shall be unto you a Sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your Souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye cele- brate your Sabbath. Ezra 8:21. Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict Ourselves before Our God, to seek of him a right way for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance. 22. For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him. 23. So we fasted and besought Our God for this: and he was intreated of us. 2 Chr. 7:14. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: Psa. 147:6. The LORD lifteth up the meek: Psa. 149:4. He will beautify the meek with Salvation. Prov. 3:34. Surely he scorneth the scorn- ers: but he giveth grace unto the lowly. Prov. 10:8. The wise in heart will receive commandments: but a prating fool shall fall. Drov. 11:2. With the lowly is wisdom. Prov. 12:15. He that hearkeneth unto COun- Sel is wise. Prov. 15:33. Before honour is humility. Prov. 18:12. Prov. 16:19. Better it is to be of an hum- ble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. Prov. 22:4. By humility and the fear of the LORD are richcs, and honour, and life. Prov. 25.6. Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men : 7. For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the pres- ence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen. Prov. 27.2. Let another man praise thee, and not thine Own mouth ; a stranger, and not thine own lips. Prov. 29:23. Honour shalluphold the hum- ble in spirit. Prov. 30:32. If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth. Eccl. 5:2.

Remember, and be confound- ed, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, Saith the Lord GOD. Mic. 6:8. What doth the LORD require of thee, but to . . . walk humbly with thy God? Zeph. 3:11. I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou Shalt no more be haughty because Of my holy mountain. 12. I will also leave in the midst of thee, an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD. Matt. 5:3. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for their's is the kingdom of heaven. Tuke 6:20. Matt. 11:29. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matt. 18:2. Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3. And Said, Verily I Say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heav- en. 4. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is great- est in the kingdom of heaven. Mark 9:33– 37; Luke 9:46–48. - Matt. 20:26. Whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27. And who- soever will be chief among you, let him be your servant : Mark 10:43,44; Luke 22:26. Matt. 23:12. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. Tuke 14:11. Luke 1:52. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. Iuke 10:21. Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: Luke 14:10. When thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room ; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, Go up higher : v. 11; Prov. 25:6,7. Luke 17:10. When ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable Servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. Luke 18:13. The publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, say- ing, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be ex- alted. Matt. 23:12. Luke 22:24. And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be ac- counted the greatest. 25. And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them ; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefac- tors. 26. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 27. For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth ? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. John 13:14. If I then, your Lord and - 579 HUMIT,ITY. --- **- Master, have washed your feet; ye also Ought to wash one another's feet. 15. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 16. Verily, verily, Isay unto you, The Servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. Rom. 11:18. Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 20. Be not highminded, but fear : 25. For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits: that blindness in part is happened to IS- rael, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. Bom. 12:3. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think Sober- ly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. 10. In honour preferring one another; 16. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 1 Cor. 1:28. Base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, Ayea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29. That no flesh should glory in his presence. 1 Cor. 2:1. And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the tes- timony of God. 2. For I determined not to know any thing among you, Save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 1 Cor. 3:18. If any man among you seem- eth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 1 Cor. 10:12. Tet him that thinketh he Standeth take heed lest he fall. 1 Cor. 13:4. Charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 2 Cor. 11:30. If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine in- firmities. 2 Cor. 12:5. Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities. 6. For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but now I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he Seeth me to be, or that he heareth of me. 7. And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. , 10. Therefore I take pleas- ure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessi- ties, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 11. I am become a fool in glorying: ye have compelled me: for I Ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I be- hind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing. 12. Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. Gal. 5:26. Tet us not be desirous of vain glory, 8-5 ë. 6:14. But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. Eph. 4:2. With all lowliness and meek- ness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Eph. 5:21. Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Phil. 2:3. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem. Other better than them- Selves. 4. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became Obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth ; 11. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Col. 3:12. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, . . . humbleness of mind, meekness, Jas. 1:9. Let the brother of low degree re- joice in that he is exalted : 10. But the rich, in that he is made low : because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. 19. Let every man be swift to hear, slo V to speak, slow to wrath: Jas. 3:1. Be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemna- tion. Jas. 4:6. God resisteth the proud, but giv- eth grace unto the humble. 10. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. 1 Pet. 5:3. Neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. 5. Ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humili- ty: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 6. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: EXEMPLIFIED: Gen. 18:27. Behold now, 580 IIUMILITY. I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which (tm), but dust and ashes: v. 32. Gen. 32:10.

O my Lord, I dº not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy Servant : but I dº slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. 2 Sam. 7:18. Who am I, O Lord GOD 2 and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto ? 19.

And is this the man- ner of man, O Lord GOD 2 1 Chr. 17:17. 1 Kin. 3:7.

Bsa. 131:1. TORD, my heart is not haugh- ty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exer- cise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. 2. Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child. Psa. 141:5. Det the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: Prov. 30:2. Surely I am more brutish than (tºy man, and have not the understanding of a man. 3. I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy. Isa. 6:5. Woe is me ! for I am undone: because I (17), a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Isa. 38:15. I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul. Jer. 1:6. Ah, Lord GOD ! behold, I cannot Speak: for I (17), a child. Jer. 10:23.

When saw we thee a stranger, and took f/tee in 3 or naked, and clothed thee ? 39. Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee ? 40. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inas- much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. T.uke 7:6.

And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh : she shall be called Woman, be- cause she was taken out of man. 24. There- fore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife : and they shall be one flesh. Matt. 19:5; Mark 10:7. Num. 5:11. And the Lord Spake unto Moses, saying, 12. Speak unto the children of Is- rael, and say unto them, If any man's wife go aside, and commit a trespass against him, 13. And a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept close, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner; 14. And the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not de- filed: 15. Then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offer- ing for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memo- rial, bringing iniquity to remembrance. 16. And the priest shall bring her near, and Sether before the LORD : 17. And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is in the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water: 18. And the priest shall set the woman before the IORD, and uncover the woman's head, and put the offering of me- morial in her hands, which is the jealousy 582 FIUSBAND. g-- offering; and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse: 19. And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and Say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another in- stead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the Curse: 20. But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou be defiled, and some man have lain with thee beside thine husband: 21. Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an Oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell; 22. And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot : And the woman shall say, Amen, amen. 23. And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot then), Out with the bitter water : 24. And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter. 25. Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman's hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar: 26. And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water. 27. And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot; and the woman shall be a çurse among her people. 28. And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean ; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed. 29. This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth aside to another instead of her husband, and is defiled; 30. Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he be jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon herall this law. 31. Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity. Deut. 22:13. If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, 14. And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: 15. Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s vir- ginity unto the elders of the city in the gate: 16. And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my 17. And, daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. 18. And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him ; 19. And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the dam- Sel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel; and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days. 20. But if this thing be true, and the to- ſcens of virginity be not found for the dam- sel: 21. Then they shall bring out the dam- Sel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die; because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: So shalt thou put evil away from ſu among you. Deut. 24:5. When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shal) he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken. |Prov. 5:15. Drink waters Out of thine Own cistern, and running waters out of thine own well. 16. Let thy fountains be dispersed abroad, and rivers of waters in the streets. 17. Det them be only thine own, and not strangers' with thee. 18. Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with the wife of thy youth. 19. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe : let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love. Eccl. 9:9. Ilive joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. Mal. 2:14. Yet ye say, Wherefore ? Be- . cause the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy cov- enant. 15. And did not he make One 2 Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And where- fore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. 16. For the LORD, the God of Is- rael, saith that he hateth putting away : for one covereth violence with his garment, Saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacher- ously. 1 Cor. 7:3. Ilet the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 5. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with con- sent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. 1 Cor. 7:14. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbeliev- ing wife is sanctified by the husband; else were your children unclean, but now are 5S3 HIUSBANI). HYPOCRISY. they holy. , 16. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt Save thy husband 2 or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife. 33. But he that is mar- ried careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. 1 Cor. 11:3. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is GOdi. Eph. 5:22. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church : and he is the saviour of the body. 24. There- fore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. 25. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it ; 26. That he might sanc- tify and cleanse it with the washing of wa- ter by the word, 27. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blennish. 28. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church : 30. For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be One flesh. 32. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. Col. 3:18. Wives, submit youselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. 19. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. 1 Tim. 5:8. But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. 1 Pet. 3:7. Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hin- dered.

Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity : for vanity shall be his recompence. 33. He shall shake off his un- ripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive. 34.

Job 36:13. The hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. 14. They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean. Psa. 5:9. For there is no faithfulness in their mouth : their inward part is very wickedness: their throat is an open Sepul- chre ; they flatter with their tongue. Psa. 50:16. Unto the wicked God Saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth ? 17. Seeing thou hatest instruc- tion, and castest my words behind thee. 584 HYPOCRISY. Psa. 52:4. Thou lovest all devouring words, O thout deceitful tongue. Psa. 55:12. It was not an enemy that re- proached me; then I could have borne it : neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him : 13. But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. 14. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company. 20. He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath brokeil his covenant. 21. The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart : his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords. 23. Thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and de- º! men shall not live out half their ays: Psa. 78:34. When he slew them, then they sought him ; and they returned and enquired early after God. 35. And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer. 36. Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. 37. For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant. Psa. 101:7. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. Prov. 7:10. And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and Sub- til Of heart. 11. (She is loud and stubborn : her feet abide not in her house : 12. Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) 13. So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, 14. I have peace offer- ings with me ; this day have I paid my vows. 15. Therefore Canne I forth to meet with silver dross. thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. 16. I have decked my bed with coverings of tapestry, with carved at 07'ks, with fine linen of Egypt. 17. I have per- fumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cin- namon. 18. Come, let us take Our fill of love until the morning: let us solace our- selves with loves. 19. For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: 20. He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. 21. With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. Prov. 11:9. An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: , but through knowledge shall the just be delivered. Prov. 14:8. The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools Øs deceit. Prov. 15:8. The Sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: Prov. 20:14.

The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind & Prov. 23:6. Eat thou not the bread of / ??), that hat/, an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats: 7. For as he thinketh in his heart, SO is he Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. 8. The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words. Prov. 25:19. Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint. Prov. 26:18. As a mad man who casteth firebrands, arrows, and death, 19. So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport 2 23. Burning lips and a Wicked heart are like a potsherd covered 24. He that hateth dis- Sembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him ; 25. When he speaketh fair, be- lieve him not : for there are seven abomina- tions in his heart. 26. Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. Isa. 1:13. Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and Sabbaths, the calling of as- semblies, I cannot away with ; it is iniquity, even the Solemn meeting. 15. And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you : yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. vs. 11–14. Isa. 66:3–5. Isa. 9:17.

Isa. 29:13. This people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men. . [Matt. 15:8..] 15. Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? 16. Surely your turn- ing of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay : Isa. 32:5. The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl Said to be boun tiful. 6. For the vile person will speak vil lany, and his heart will work imiquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. Isa. 33:14. The sinners in Zion are afraid : fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Isa. 48:1. Hear ye this, O house of Jacob, which are called by the name of Israel, and are come forth out of the waters of Judah, which swear by the name of the TORD, and 585.

They Seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the Ordinance of their God: they ask of me the Ordinances of justice ; they take delight in approaching to God. 3. Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not ? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge 2 Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. 4. Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to Smite with the fist of wicked- ness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high. 5. Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread Sack- cloth and ashes under him 2 wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the TIORD? Isa. 61:8. For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering: Isa. 65.5. Which say, Stand by thyself, COme not near to me; for I am holier than thou.

Trust ye not in lying words, say- ing, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. 8. Ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. 9. Will ye steal, murder, and com- mit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not ; 10. And come and stand beforeme in this house, which is called by my name, and Say, We are delivered to do all these abominations ? Jer, 9:4. Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. 8. Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it Speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait. Jer: 12:2. Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root: they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou dºn't near in their mouth, and far from their reins. Jer. 17:9.

As for you, O house of Israel, thus Saith the Lord GOD: Go ye, serve ye every One his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.

And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. 32. And, lo, thou (17't unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not. - HOS. 6:4.

And ye Say, Wherein have we despised thy name? 7. Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar; and ye say, Wherein have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of the LORD is contemptible. 8. And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? Saith the TORD of hosts. 13. Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it / and ye have Snuffed at it, saith the LORD of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand 7 saith the LORD. 14.

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them : other- wise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the Synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 5. When thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 16. When ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a Sad Countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I Say unto you, They have their reward. 24. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the One, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Iſlal YıIIl Oil. Matt. 7:5. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou See clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. 15. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 21. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Tord, shall enter into the king- dom. Of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name 3 and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23. And then will T profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Luke 13:26,27. Matt. 9:13. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacri- fice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Matt. 15:7. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, Saying, 8. This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. [Mark 7:6.] 9. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doc- trines the commandments of men. Matt. 16:3. O ye hypocrites, ye can dis- cern the face of the sky; but can ye not dis- cerºy the signs of the times? Luke 12: 54–56. Matt. 21:28. But what think ye 2 A cer- ta??? man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard. 29. He answered and said, I will not; but afterward he repented, and went. 30. And he came to the second, and Said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, Sir : and went not. 31. Whether of them twain did the will of his father ? They say unto him, The first. Jesus Saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. 32. For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and yebelieved him not ; but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might be- lieve him. - Matt. 22:12. Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment' And he was speechless. , 13. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; 18. Jesus perceived their 587 wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? Matt. 23:2. Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat : 3 All there- fore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do ; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4. For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5. All their works they do for to be seen of men : they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the bor- ders of their garments, 6. And lovetheupper- most rooms at feasts, and the chief Seats in the synagogues, 7. And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 8. But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 9. And call no man your fa- ther upon the earth: for One is your Father, which is in heaven. 10. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12. And who- soever shall exalt himself shall be abased : and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 13. But woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites 1 for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. 15. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make One proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. 16. Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whoso- ever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor | 17. Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold' 18. And, Whoso- ever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing: but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. 19. Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that Sanctifieth the gift 2 20. Who- so therefore shall swear by the altar, swear- eth by it, and by all things thereon. 21. And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 22. And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon. 23. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these Ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24. Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside IIYIPOCRISY. of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26. Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that 10/ic/ is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also. 27. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites for ye are like unto whited Sep- ulchres, which indeed appear beautiful out- ward, but are within full of dead 777 egº's bones, and of all uncleanness. 28. Even SO ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. 29. Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the Sepulchres of the righteous, 30. And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31. Where- fore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 32. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33. Ye serpents, ye gener- ation of vipers, how can ye escape the dam- nation of hell ? Matt. 24:50. The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51. And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matt. 25:3. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them : 41. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43. I was a stranger, and ye took me not in : naked, and ye clothed me not : sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee ? 45. Then shall he an- swer them, saying, Verily I Say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. Mark 7:7. Howbeit in vain do they wor- ship me, teaching for doctrines the com- mandments of men. 8. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tra- dition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye dO. Matt. 15:7–9. Mark 12:38. And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love Salutations in the marketplaces, 39. And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts : 40. Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater dam- nation. Iuke 6:46. Why call ye me, Tord, Lord, and do not the things which I say ? Luke 8:18. Whosoever hath not, from him 588 IIYPOCRISY. shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. Duke 11:39. And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. 42. But woe unto you, Pharisees for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 44. Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites | for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them. 52. Woe unto you, lawyers for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in your- Selves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. vs. 39–52. Luke 12:1. Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2. For there is nothing covered, that shall not be re- vealed ; neither hid, that shall not be known. Matt. 16:6, 12; Mark 8:15. Luke 13:13. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. 14. And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, be- cause that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and Said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the Sabbath day. 15. The Lord then an- swered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead / im, away to watering 2 16. And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sab- bath day ? 17. And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glori- ous things that were done by him. Luke 14:34. Salt is good : but if the salt have lost his savour, where with shall it be seasoned? p. 35 ; Mark 9:50. Luke 16:13. No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the One, and love the Other: Or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 15. Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomina- tion in the sight of God. Luke 18:11. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men (tre, extortioners, un- just, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. Luke 20:46. Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greet- ings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts; 47. Which devour widows' houses, and for a shew make long prayers: the same Shall receive greater damnation. Matt.23:14; Mark 12:38–40. Luke 21:16. Ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. John 6:26. Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. 70. Have not I Chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? John 7:19. Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law Ż Why go ye about to kill me? John 15:2. Every branch in me that bear- eth not fruit he taketh away: 6. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. Rom. 1:18. The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against allungodliness and un- righteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; - Rom. 2:1. Therefore thou artinexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou con- demnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the Same things. 3. And thinkest thouthis, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? 17. Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, 18. And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed Out of the law ; 19. And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, 20. An in- structor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. 21. Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself ; thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22. Thou that Sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery 7 thou that ab- horrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? 23. Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? 24. For the name of God is blas- phemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. 25. For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law : but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. 26. Therefore if the umcircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision ? 27. And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law Ż 28. For he is not a Jew, which is one out- wardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh : 29. But he is a Jew, 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. 589 HYPOCRISY. Rom. 9:6. They are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7. Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: Rom. 16:18. For they that are such serve not Our Lord Jesus Christ, but their Own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. 1. Cor. 13:1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as Sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 Cor. 4:2. But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in Crafti- ness, nor handling the word of God deceit- fully ; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's con- Science in the sight of God. 2 Cor. 5:12. For we commend not our- Selves again unto you, but give you. Occa- sion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart. Gal. 6:3. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. Phil. 3:2. Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 18. Many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ : 19. Whose end is destruction, 1 Tim. 4:2. Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience Seared with a hot ll’On : 2 Tim. 3:5. Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: 13. Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. Tit. 1:16. They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. - Jas. 1:8. A double minded man is unsta- ble in all his ways. [Jas. 4:8..] 22. Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, de- ceiving your own selves. 23. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24. For he beholdeth him- self, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 26. If any man among you seem to be reli- gious, and bridleth not his tongue, but de- ceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is Valll. Jas. 2:14. What doth it profit, my breth- ren, though a man Say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith Save him $ 15. If a brother or sister be naked, and desti- tute of daily food, 16. And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit 17. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works; shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the dev- ils also believe, and tremble. 20. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21. Was not Abraham Our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar' 22. Seest thou how faith wrought with his Works, and by works was faith made per- fect 2 23. And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God. 24. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25. Like- wise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the mes- Sengers, and had sent them out another way ? 26. For as the body without the º is dead, so faith without works is dead à,1SO. Jas. 3:17. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 1 Pet. 2:1. Taying aside all . . . hypoc- risies, 16. As free, and not using your lib- erty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the Servants of God. 2 Pet. 2:1. There shall be false teachers among you, . . . 2. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3. Through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you : whose judgment now of a long time linger- eth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 17. These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 19. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of cor- ruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage. 1 John 1:6. If we say that we have fel- lowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 10. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 1 John 2:4. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth Inot his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 9. He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 19. They went out from us, but they were not of us: for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 1 John 4:20. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not Seen 2 Jude 12. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are 590 HYPOCRISY.

Lest thou. . . when thou Seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and Serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. vs. 15–23; Deut. 4:25–28; 11: 16, 17,28; 28:15–68; 30:17, 18; 31:16–21,29; 32: 15–26; 1 Kin. 9:6–9.

Of Israel for ever, and my holy name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, northeir kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places. 8. In their setting of their threshold by my thresholds, and their post by my posts, and the wall between me and them, they have even de- filed my holy name by their abominations that they have committed: wherefore I have consumed them in mine anger. 9. Now let them put away their whoredom, and the carcases of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell in the midst Of them for ever. Hos. 10:2.

But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel. Psa. 115:4. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. 5. They have mouths, but they speak not : eyes have they, but they see not ; 8.

With whom took he counsel, and (0/vo instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding 3 15. Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very lit- tle thing. 16. And Lebanon is not suffi- cient to burn, nor the beasts thereof suffi- cient for a burnt offering. 17. All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and van- ity. , 18. To whom then will ye liken God? Or what likeness will ye compare unto him? 19. The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains. 20. He that Žs so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot ; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved. 21. Have ye not known 2 have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the begin- ning 3 have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth ? 22. It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof (tre as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a cur- tain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in : 23. That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. 24. Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be Sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble. 25. To whom then will ye liken me, or shall Ibe equal? Saith the Holy One. 26.

They stoop, they bow down to- gether; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity. 6. They lavish gold out of the bag, and weigh silver in the balance, and hire a goldsmith; and he maketh it a god: they fall down, yea, they worship. 7. They bear him upon fhe shoulder, they carry him, and set him in his place, and he standeth ; from his place shall he not remove: yea, one shall cry unto him, yet can he not answer, nor Save him out of his trouble. Isa. 47:13. Thou art wearied in the multi- tude of thy counsels. Tet now the astrolo- gers, the stargazers, the monthly prognos- ticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. 14.

O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of afflic- tion, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely Our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. 20. Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? HOS. 8.5. Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency 3 6. For from Israel acas it also : the Workman made it ; therefore it is not God : but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. Ex. 32:20; Psa. 106:20. Acts 14:15. We also are men of like pas- Sions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, Acts 17:22. Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too super- stitious. 23. For as I passed by, and be- held your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNIKNOWN GOD. 29. We ought not to think that the God- head is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. Rom. 1:22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and créeping things. 1 Cor. 8:4.

Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty 595 IGNORANCE. unto perfection ? 8. It is as high as heaven ; what Canst thou do? deeper than hell; what Canst thou know & 12. Vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt. Job 28:12. Where shall wisdom be found 3 and where is the place of understanding % 13. Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. 20. Whence then cometh wisdom ? and where is the place of understanding 21. Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, Job 36:26. God is great, and we know / in not, neither can the number of his years be searched out. 29. Can any under- stand the spreadings of the clouds, on the moise of his tabernacle? Job 37:5. God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. 15. Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? 16. Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the won- drous works of him which is perfect in knowledge ; 19. Teach us what we shall say unto him ; for we cannot order out?" speech by reason of darkness. 23. Totte/t- Øng the Almighty, we cannot find him out : chapters 38; 39. Psa. 139:6. Such knowledge is too won- derful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. Prov. 7:6. For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, 7. And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, S. Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, 9. In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: 10. And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire Of an harlot, and subtil of heart. 11. (She is loud and stubborn ; her feet abide not in her house : 12. Now is she with- out, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) 13. So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face said unto him, 14. I have peace offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows. 15. Therefore came I forth to meet thee, dili- gently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. 16. I have decked my bed with cov- erings of tapestry, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. 17. I have per- fumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cin- namon. 18. Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning : let us solace our- selves with loves. 19. For the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey : 20. He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. 21. With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. 22. He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaugh- ter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; 23. Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the Snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. Prov. 8:5. O ye simple, understand wis- dom; and, ye fools, be ye of an under- Standing heart. Prov. 9:14. For she sitteth at the door of her house, On a seat in the high places of the city, , 15. To call passengers who go right on their ways: 16. Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither : and as for him that Wanteth understanding, she saith to him, 17. Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eate), in Secret is pleasant. 18. But he knoweth not that the dead are there ; and that her guests are in the depths of hell. Prov. 19:2. Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hast- eth with his feet sinneth. Prov. 20:24. Man's goings are of the LORD ; how can a man then understand his own way ? Prov. 22:3. A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. Prov. 27:12. Prov. 27:1. Boast not thyself of to mor- row ; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Prov. 30:4. Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended ? who hath gathered the wind in his fists 2 who hath bound the Waters in a garment 2 who hath established all the ends of the earth ? what is his name, and what is his Son's name, if thou canst tell ? Eccl. 3:11. He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the World in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. Eccl. 6:11. Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the bet- ter? 12. For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow Z for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the Sun ? Eccl. 7:23. I said, I will be wise; but it Atlas far from me. 24. That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out 7 Eccl. 8:6. Because to every purpose there is time and judgment, therefore the misery of man is great upon him. 7. For he know- eth not that which shall be : for who can tell him when it shall be $ 17. I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun : because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it yeafarther; though a wise mºtº think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find if. Eccl. 9:12. For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the Snare ; SO (776 the Sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

But Abimelech had not come near even SO thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all. Jer. 10:23. O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps. John 13:7. Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now ; but thou shalt know hereafter. Acts 1:7. It is not for you to know the times or the Seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. Acts 17:23. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. 30. And the times of this ignorance God winked at ; but now commandeth all men everywhere to re- pent : Rom. 8:24. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope : for what a man Seeth, why doth he yet hope for 2 25. But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. 26. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh in- tercession for us with groanings which can- not be uttered. 1 Cor. 2:7. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden acisdoºn, which God Ordained before the world unto our glory: 8. Which none of the princes of this world knew : for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9. But as it is written, Eye hath not Seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10. . But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 1 Cor. 3:19. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their Own Craftiness. 1 Cor. 13:9. We know in part, and we prophesy in part. 12. Now we see through a glass, darkly: but then face to face: now I know in part; Jas. 1:5. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liber- ally, and upbraideth not ; and it shall be given him. 6. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. See KNOWLEDGE: WISDOM. SINS OF : Gen. 20:1. And Abraham jour- neyed from thence toward the south coun- try, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and Sojourned in Gerar. 2. And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. 3. But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman Which thou hast taken ; for she is a man's her ; and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation ? 5. Said he not unto me, She is my sister 2 and she, even she herself said, He is my brother : in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this. 6. And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her. 7. Now therefore restore the man / is wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore Jºe, not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine. Lev. 4:1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2. Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin through igno- rance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them : 3. If the priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin offering. 4. And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD ; and shall lay his hand upon the bul- lock's head, and kill the bullock before the LORD. 5. And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock's blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation: 6. And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before the LORD, before the vail of the sanc- tuary. 7. And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation ; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 8. And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offer- ing: the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards, 9. And the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away, 10. As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace of— ferings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the burnt offering, 11. And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his dung, 12. Even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt. 13. And if the whole congregation of Israel sin through igno- rance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done some- what against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which should 597 IGNORANCE.——SINS OF. not be done, and are guilty; 14. When the sin, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation. 15. And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bul- lock before the LORD : and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD. 16. And the priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock's blood to the tabernacle of the congregation: 17. And the priest shall dip his finger in some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD, ever, before the vail. 18. And he shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the LORD, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which is (It the door of the tabernacle of the Congrega- tion. 19. And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn it upon the altar. 20. And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be for- given them. 21. And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn him as he burned the first bullock: it is a sin offering for the congregation. 22. When a ruler hath sinned, and done somewhat through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD his God con- cerving things which should not be done, and is guilty; 23. Or if his sin, wherein he hath simmed, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a male without blemish : 24. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before the IORD : it is a sin offering. 25. And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin of- fering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering. 26. And he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him as con- cerning his sim, and it shall be forgiven him. 27. And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth some- what against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which Ought not to be done, and be guilty; 28. Or if his sin, which he hath simmed, come to his knowledge; then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blem- ish, for his sin which he hath sinned. 29. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering. 30. And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour Out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar. 31. And he shall take away all tho fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD ; and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him. 32. And if he bring a lamb for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish. 33. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offer- ing, and slay it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering, 34. And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar: 35. And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the Sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him. Lev. 5:4. If a soul swear, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, what- soever it be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him ; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in One of these. 5. And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in One of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing. 6. And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb, or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering ; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin. 7. And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD ; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. 8. And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not di- vide it asunder : 9. And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side Of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering. 10. And he shall offer the Second for a burnt offering, according to the manner; and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him. 11. But if he be not able to bring two turtle- doves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offer- ing; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense thereon for it is a sin offering. 12. Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his hand- ful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn Žt on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD : it is a sin of- fering. 13. And the priest shall make an 598 IGNORANCE SINs of atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest's as a meat offering. 14. And the LORD Spake unto MOSes, Saying, 15. If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ig- morance, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the LORD a ram without blemish Out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, af- ter the shekel of the sanctuary, for a tres- pass offering: 16. And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add the fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest : and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him. 17. And if a Soul sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the com- mandments of the LORD ; though he wist it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his in- iquity. 18. And he shall bring a ram with- out blemish out of the flock, with thy esti- mation, for a trespass offering, unto the priest : and the priest shall make an atone- ment for him concerning his ignorance wherein he erred and wist it not, and it shall be forgiven him. 19. It is a trespass of fering: he hath certainly trespassed against the LORD. Lev. 22:14. And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give it unto the priest with the holy thing. Num. 15:22. And if ye have erred, and not observed all these commandments, which the LORD hath spoken unto Moses, 23. Even all that the LORD hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the LORD Commanded Moses, and hencefor- ward among your generations; 24. Then it shall be, if ontg/it be committed by ignor- ance without the knowledge of the congre- gation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour unto the LORD, with his meat offering, and his drink offering, ac- cording to the manner, and one kid of the goats for a sin offering. 25. And the priest shall make an atonement for all the con- gregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them; for it is ignorance: and they shall bring their offering, a sacri- fice made by fire unto the LORD, and their sin offering before the LORD, for their ignor- ance: 26. And it shall be forgiven all the congregation of the children of Israel, and the stranger that Sojourneth among them : seeing all the people were in ignorance. 27. And if any soul sin through ignorance, then he shall bring a she goat of the first year for a sin offering. 28. And the priest shall make an atonement for the soul that sin- neth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignor- ance before the TORD, to make an atone- ment for him ; and it shall be forgiven him. 29. Ye shall have one law for him that sin- neth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the Stranger that sojourneth among them. Ezek, 33:6. But if the watchman see the sword Come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned ; if the sword COme, and take ((???/ person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. [chapter 3:18.] 8. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked ºn (17), thou shalt Surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked may Shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Ezek. 45:20. And so thou shalt do the Seventh day of the month for every one that erreth, and for him that is simple: so shall ye reconcile the house. Hos. 4:6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast re- jected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. Luke 12:48. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whom- SOever much is given, of him shall be much required : and to whom men have commit- ted much, of him they will ask the more. Luke 23:34.

But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you ; 15. And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. 17. And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. 1 Cor. 2:8. Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, . would not have crucified the Lord of Ory. Gal. 1:13. For ye have heard of my con- versation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it : 14. And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine Own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. 15. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 16.

And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil con- tinually. Gen. 8:21. And the LORD smelled a sweet Savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth : neither will I again Smite any more everything living, as I have done. Deut. 29:19. And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst : 20. The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall Smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven. 1 Chr. 28:9. And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee Off for ever.

Isa. 25.8. He will swallow up death in vic- tory ; Iša. 26:19. Thy dead men shall live, to- gether with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust : for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead. Isa. 38:18. For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy. truth. 19. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day : the father to the children shall make known thy truth. Ezek. 32:31. Pharaoh shall see them, and shall be comforted over all his multitude, even Pharaoh and all his army slain by the sword, saith the Lord GOD. - Dan. 12:2. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3.

Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matt. 16:26. What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul? Matt. 19:16. And, behold, one came and Said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17. And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but One, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. Luke 10:25–28. Matt. 25:46. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment : but the righteous into life eternal. Mark 10:30. But he shall receive an hun- dredfold now in this time, houses, and breth- ren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. Mark 12:26. And as touching the dead, that they rise : have ye not read in the book | Of Moses, how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob Ž 27. |He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do greatly err. Luke 9:25. What is a man advantaged if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away ? Luke 20:36. Neither can they die any 60l. IMMORTAT,ITY. more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the chil- dren of the resurrection. 37. Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. John 3:14. And as Moses lifted up the ser- pent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16. For God SO loved the world, that he gave his Only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 36. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth On him. - John 5:39. Search the scriptures [R. V., Ye search the Scriptures]; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. John 6:39. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and be- lieveth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 44. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him ; and I will raise him up at the last day. 47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 50. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51. I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 53. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 58. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead : he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. John 10:28. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. John 11:25. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life : he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26. And whosoever liveth and believ- eth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? John 14:19. Yet a little while, and the world Seeth me no more; but ye see me: be- cause I live, ye shall live also. John 17:2. As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast Sent. Acts 20:32. And now, brethren, I com- mend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are Sanctified. Acts 23:8. For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both. 9. And there arose a great cry: and the Scribes that were of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, saying, We find no evil in this man: but if a spirit or an angel hath spoken to him, let us not fight against God. Acts 26:7. Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly Serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews. 8. Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead? 18. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. o Rom. 2:7. To them who by patient con- tinuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: Rom. 6:22. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end ever- lasting life. 23. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Cor. 15:12. Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say Some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13. But if there be no resurrec- tion of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 14. And if Christ be not risen, then is Our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 15. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. 16. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17. And if Christ be not raised, your faith 7s vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 19. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 24. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all au- thority and power. 25. For he must reign, 602 IMMORTALITY. till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 27. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things un- der him. 28. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. 29. Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all ? why are they then baptized for the dead? 30. And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? 31. I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus Our Lord, I die daily. 32. If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not ? let us eat and drink, for to morrow we die. 33. Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 34. Awake to righteous- ness, and sin not ; for Some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. are the dead raised up 2 and with what body do they come 7 36. Thow fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: 37. And that which thou Sowest, thou Sow- est not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain : 38. But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. , 39. All flesh is not the same flesh : but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, (172d another of birds. 40. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41. There is one glory of the Sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43. It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44. It is sown a nat- ural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spir- itual body. 45. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 46. Howbeit that was not first which is spir- itual, but that which is natural ; and after- ward that which is spiritual. 47. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. 48. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50. Now this I Say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 35. But some many will say, How 52. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump : for the trumpet shall Sound, and the dead shall be raised incor- ruptible, and we shall be changed. 53. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory Gal. 6:8. For he that Soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that Soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Col. 1:5. For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; 6. Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it dotſ, also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth: 1 Thess. 4:13. But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye Sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first ; 17. Then we which are alive and re- main shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18. Wherefore comfort One another with these words. 1Thess. 5:10. Who died forus, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 2 Thess. 1:7. And to you who are trou- bled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels. 8. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the oospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9.

Now Our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlast- ing consolation and good hope through grace, 1 Tim. 4:8.

Who hath Saved us, and called ots with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10. But is now made manifest by the appearing of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortal- ity to light through the gospel: Tit. 1:2. In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began ; Tit. 3:7. That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. - Heb. 9:15. And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might re- ceive the promise of eternal inheritance. Heb. 10:34. For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an endur- ing Substance. Heb. 11:5. Enoch was translated that he should not see death ; and was not found, because God had translated him: 10. For he [Abraham] looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 13. These all died in faith, not hav- ing received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. 15. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. 16. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly : wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. 1 Pet. 1:3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4. To an in- heritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5. Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 John 2:17. The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 25. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 1 John 5:13. That ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe On the name of the Son of God. Jude 21.

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him : and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Rev. 3:4. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their gar- ments; and they shall walk with me in white; for they are worthy. Rev. 22:5.

And the TORD spake unto Moses, saying, 27. Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you ; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 28. And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. , 29. For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. Lev. 26:21. If ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring Seven times more plagues upon you accord- ing to your sins. vs. 22–24. Deut. 29:19. And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself, in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagina- tion of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst : 20. The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven. 21. And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the Covenant that are written in this book of the law: 1 Sam. 15:23. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniq- uity and idolatry. Because thou hast re- jected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. Job. 9:2. How should man be just with God? 4. Who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered ? Job. 24:13.

Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man the goodness of God endureth continually. 7.

They rebelled against the words of God, and Contemned the counsel of the most High : 12. Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. Prov. 1:24.

Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: º you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins. - Isa. 42:22. This is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth: for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. 23. Who among you will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to Come? 24. Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the rob- bers? did not the LORD, he against whom we have sinned ? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law. 25. Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart. Isa. 46:12. Hearken unto me, ye stout- hearted, that are far from righteousness: 13. I bring near my righteousness; Isa. 48:4. I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass; 8.

Ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen : for the Lord GOD shall slay thee, Isa. 66:4. Jer. 3:10. And yet for all this her treacher- ous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but feignedly, Saith the LORD. vs. 7–9. Jer. 5:21. Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not ; which have ears, and hear not : 22. Fear ye not me? Saith the LORD: will yenottremble at my presence, . . . 23. This people hath a revolting and a rebel- lious heart ; they are revolted and gone. 24. Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD Our God, that givethrain, both fhe former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. Jer. 6:10. To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach ; they have no delight in it. 16. Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and See, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk there???, 17. I Set Watchmen. Over you, saying, Hearken to the Sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken. 19. Hear, O earth ; behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it. Jer. 7:13, Ispake unto you, rising up early and Speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not ; 14. Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fa- thers, as I have done to Shiloh. 24. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but Walked in the counsels and in the im- agination of their evil heart, and went back- ward, and not forward. 28. But thou shalt Say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor re- ceiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth. vs. 13–34; Jer. 11: 8; 25:4; 26:4–6; 32:33; 35:14-17; Zech. 1:4. Jer. 8:5. Why then is this people of Jeru- Salem slidden back by a perpetual backslid- ing ? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return. 6. I hearkened and heard, but they Spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle. 7. Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times: and the turtle and the crane and the swal- low observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD. 20.

And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people, since they return not from their ways. Jer. 16:12. Ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, yewalk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me: Jer. 44:10. Jer. 17:23. They obeyed not, neither in- clined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction. Jer. 18:12. They said, There is no hope : but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart. Jer. 2:25. Jer. 22:21. I spake unto thee in thy pros- perity; but thou saidst, I will not hear. This hath been thy manner from thy youth, that thou obeyedst not my voice. Jer. 29:19.

They are not humbled even unto this day, neither have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my statutes, that I Set before you and before your fathers. 16. As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee. 17. But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth Out of Our Own mouth, to burn incense unto the Queen of heaven, as we have done, we, and Our fathers, . . . for them we had plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil. Ezek. 2:5. They, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house,) yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them. Ezek. 3:5.

Not to many people of a strange Speech and of an 606 IMPENITENCE. hard language, whose words thou Canst not understand. Surely, had I sent thee to them, they would have hearkened unto thee. 7. But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not heark- en unto me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted. 19. If thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; 26. I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house. vs. 1–11; Ezek. 2:4; 33:9. Ezek. 12:2. Thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and See not ; they have ears to hear, and hear not : for they are a rebellious house. Ezek. 20:8. But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. 13. But the house of Israel re- belled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they de- spised my judgments, which ºf a man do, he shall even live in them ; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilder- ness, to Consume them. 21. The children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them ; they polluted my Sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, Ezek. 33:4. Whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning ; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 5. He heard the Sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. T)an. 9:13. As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us; yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our in- iquities, and understand thy truth. Hos. 4:17.

Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me. Hos. 11:2. As they called them, so they went from them : they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images. 7. My people are bent to back- sliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him. Zech. 7:11. They refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. 12. Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his Spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great Wrath from the LORD of hosts. 13. Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts: vs. 4–14. Mal. 2:2. If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even Send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. 17. Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him 2 When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he de- lighteth in them ; or, Where is the God of judgment % Matt. 11:16. But whereunto shall I liken this generation ? It is like unto children sit- ting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, 17. And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced ; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lament- ed. 18. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. 19. The Son of man came eating and drink- ing, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children. [Duke 7:35.] 20. Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they re- pented not : 21.

And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the un- cleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed. Heb. 12:17. For ye know how that after- ward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. Rev. 2:5. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candle- stick out of his place, except thou repent. 16. Repent : or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. 21. I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22. Behold I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. Rev. 3:3. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. |Rev. 9:20. And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repent- ed not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can See, nor hear, nor walk : 21. Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts. Rev. 16:9. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory. 21. And there fell upon men a great hail Out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent : and men blasphemed God be- cause of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

And your covenant with death shall be dis- annulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the Overflowing 612 INFIDETITY. scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. 19. From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you : for morning by morning shall it pass Over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report. 20. For the bed is shorter than that a motº can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it. 21. For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act. 22. Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth. Isa. 29:15. Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who Seeth us? and who knoweth us? 16. Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay : for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not ? or shall the thing framed say Of him that framed it, He had no under- standing? 20. The scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off: Tsa. 45:9. Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? 10. Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth ? - Isa. 47:10. Thou hast trusted in thy wick- edness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath per- verted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me. 11. Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth : and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off; and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know. - Isa. 57:4. Against whom do ye sport your- selves? against whom make yea wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? 11. And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor laid it to thy heart? have not I held my peace even of old, and thou fearest me not ? q)s, 5–10. Jer. 2:31. O generation, see ye the word of the TORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee? Jer. 5:12. They have belied the LORD, and said, It is not he: neither shall evil come upon us; neither shall we see Sword nor famine : 14. Wherefore thus saith the TORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth º and this people wood, and it shall devour them. Jer. 17:15. They say unto me, Where is the word of the TORD 2 let it come now. Jer. 43:2. Jer, 48:42. Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified / imself against the LORD. v.26.

Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the ad- versaries saw her, and did mock at her sab- baths. Ezek. 9:9. Then said he unto me, The in- iquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the landisfull of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they Say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD Seeth not. 10. And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head. Ezek. 8:12. Ezek. 12:22. What is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth ? Ezek. 11:3. Ezek. 18:2. What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge 29. Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Tord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways un- equal? Ezek. 33:17. Ezek. 20:49. Ah Lord GOD ! they say of me, Doth he not speak parables? Ezek. 33:20. Yet ye say, The way of the Tord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways. 30. The children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every One to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the JLORD. Ezek. 36:2. Thus saith the Lord GOD: Be- cause the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are our's in possession: - Dan. 3:15. Who is that God that shall de- liver you out of my hands? Dan. 8:25. He shall magnify himself in his heart, . . . he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. v. 10. Dan. 7:25; 11:36,37. Hos. 7:5. In the day of our king the princes have made him, sick with bottles of wine; 13. Woe unto them for they have fied from me: destruction unto them l be- cause they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me. , 15. Though I have bound and strengthened their 613 IN FIDELITY. INFIRMITY. arms, yet do they imagine mischief against I]]6. - Amos 5:18. Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD ! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. ºnos 7:16. Thou Sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac. 17. Therefore thus Saith the LORD, . . . thou shalt die in a polluted land: Mic. 7:10. Then she that is mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her which Said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine eyes shall behold her : now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets. Zeph. 1:12. I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil. Mal. 1:7.

Your words have been stout against me, Saith the LORD. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so match against thee? 14. Ye have Said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mourn- fully before the LORD of hosts? - Matt. 12:24. When the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out dev- ils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. Mark 3:22; Luke 11:15; 16:14. Matt. 25:24. Then he which had received the One talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25. And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26. His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27. Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and them at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. Matt. 27:39. And they that passed by re- viied him, wagging their heads, 40. And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41. Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, Said, 42. He saved others: himself he can- not save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43. He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him : for he said, I am the Son of God. 44. The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. Luke 4:23.

When they heard of the resur- rection of the dead, some mocked : Acts 23:8. The Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: Matt. 22:23. . Rom. 9:20. Nay 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? 21.

And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. 4. For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. 1 Kin. 15:25. And Nadab the son of Jero- boarm began to reign Over Israel in the Sec- ond year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned Over Israel two years. 26. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin. 1 Kin. 21:25. But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wick- edness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jeze- bel his wife stirred up. 1 Kin. 22:51. Ahaziah the son of Ahab be- gan to reign over Israel in Samaria, the Sev- enteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Ju- dah, and reigned two years over Israel. 52. And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the Son of Nebat, who made Is- rael to sin: 53. For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done. 2 Kin. 8:16. And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the Son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign. 17. Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign: and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 18. And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab : for the daughter of Ahab was his wife: and he did evil in the sight of he LORD. 25. In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel did Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah begin to reign. 26. Two and twenty years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign ; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel. 27. And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab : for he was the son in law of the house of Ahab. 2 Kin. 17:21. For he rent Israel from the house of David ; and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king: and Jeroboam drave Israel from following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin. 22. For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did ; they departed not from them: 2 Rin. 21:9. But they hearkened not ; and Manassell seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD de- stroyed before the children of Israel. 2 Chr. 21:5. Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 6. And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab : for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife : and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD. 2 Chr. 22:3. He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab : for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly. 4. Where- fore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab : for they were his coun- sellors after the death of his father to his destruction. 5. He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael Ring of Syria at Ramoth-gilead: and the Syrians smote Joram. 2 Chr. 33:9. So Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, and to do worse than the heathen, whom the LORD had destroyed before the children of Israel. Prov. 22:24. Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go : 25. Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy Soul. Prov. 29:12. If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. Jer. 17:1. The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond: it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your al- tars; 2. Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills. Hos. 4:9. And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. Matt. 13:24. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. Luke 12:1. Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 1 Cor. 5:6. Your glorying is not good. know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump 2 7. Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8. There- fore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. Gal. 3:1. O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among Ou ? y Gal. 5:7. Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? 8. This persuasion cometh not of him that call- eth you. 9. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 2 Tim. 2:14. Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no 615 profit, bºtt to the subverting of the hearers. 17. And their word will eat as doth a can- ker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18. Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

But Jon- athan Saul's son delighted much in David : and Jonathan told David, saying, Saul my father seeketh to kill thee: now therefore, I pray thee, take heed to thyself until the morning, and abide in a secret place, and hide thyself: 3. And I will go and stand be- side my father in the field where thou art, and I will commune with my father of thee; and what I see, that I will tell thee. 4. And Jonathan spake good of David unto Saul his father, and said unto him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David; because he hath not sinned against thee, and because his works have been to thee-ward, very good : 5. For he did put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the TORD wrought a great salvation for all Israel: thou Sawest it, and didst rejoice: wherefore then wilt thou sin against in- nocent blood, to slay David without a cause & 6. And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan: and Saul Sware, As the LORD liveth, he shall not be slain. 1 Sam. 20:4. Then said Jonathan unto Da- vid, Whatsoever thy soul desireth, I will even do it for thee. 5. And David said unto Jonathan, Behold, to morrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit with the king at meat; but let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even. 6. If thy father at all miss me, then say, David earnestly asked leave of me that he might run to Beth-lehem his city: for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family. 7. If he say thus, It is well; thy Servant shall have peace : but if he be very wroth, then be sure that evil is deter- mined by him. 8. Therefore thou shalt deal kindly with thy servant; for thou hast brought thy servant into a covenant of the LORD with thee: notwithstanding, if there be in me iniquity, slay me thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy father ? §. And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee: for if I knew certainly that evil were deter- mined by my father to come upon thee, then Would not I tell it thee ? 1 Kin. 22:42. Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusa- lem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi. 43. And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that ºthic/, /t/ts right in the eyes of the LORD : nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places. 2 Kin. 15:1. In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began Aza-. riah Son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign. 2. Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem. 3. And he did that 70/vic/ was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done: 32. In the second year of Pekah the son of Remaliah king of Israel began Jotham the Son of Uzziah king of Judah to reign. 33. Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name 70 as Jerusha, the daughter of Zadok. 34.

Ye are the Salt of the earth : but if the salt have lost his savour, where- with shall it be salted ? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Mark 4:21. And he said unto them, Is a Candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed ? and not to be set on a candle- stick? 22. For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested ; neither was any thing kept Secret, but that it should come abroad. Luke 11:33. No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. 34. The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. 35. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. 36. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light. John 7:38. He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath, said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 1 Cor. 7:16.

Ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia. 8. For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; SO that we need not to speak any thing. 1 Tim. 6:1. Det as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. |Heb. 11:4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent Sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. 1 Pet. 2:11. Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the Soul; 12. Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. 1 Pet. 3:1. Tikewise, ye wives, be in sub- jection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2. While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. 15. But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear : 16. Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. See EXAMPLE.

And he said, Thou knowest that the king- dom was mine, and that all Israel Set their faces on me, that I should reign : howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's : for it was his from the LORD. 16. And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say On. 17.

Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD, thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; Deut. 6:11,12. Deut. 28:47. Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all t/lºgs ; 48. Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: Deut. 31:16. And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whor- ing after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, Deut. 32:6. Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee ? 15. But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked : thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Bock of his Salvation. 18. Of the ROck that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. v. 13. Judg. 2:10. There arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had dono for Israel. 11. And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, . 12. And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, Judg. 8:34. And the children of Israel re- membered not the LORD their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies on every side: 35. Neither shewed they kindness to the house of Jerubbaal, namely, Gideon, according to all the good- ness which he had shewed unto Israel. Judg. 10:11. Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, 13. Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more. 14. Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation. Neh. 9:25,35; Psa. 106:7,21; Jer. 2:6,7. 1 Sam. 8:7. And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. 8. Ac- cording to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt even unto this day, where with they have forsaken me, and served other gods, So do they also unto thee. 1 Sam. 10:19. Ye have this day rejected your God, who himself saved you out of all your adversities and your tribulations; and ye have said unto him, Nay, but set a king OVer Uls. 1 Sam. 15:17. When thou 70&st little in thine own sight, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel, and the LORD anointed thee king over Israel? 19. Where- fore then didst thou not obey the voice of the LORD, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst evil in the sight of the LORD? 2 Sam. 12:7. I delivered thee Out of the hand of Saul; 8. And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too lit- tle, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. 9. Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight 3 2 Chr. 12:1. 1 Kin. 16:1. Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the Son of Hanani against Baasha, saying, 2. Forasmuch as I exalted thee Out of the dust, and made thee prince Over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins; 3. Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house ; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. 2 Chr. 26:15. His name spread far abroad for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong. 16. But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the TORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense. 2 Chr. 32:25. Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit dome unto him; for his heart was lifted up; therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jeru- salem. - Psa. 78:16. He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. 17. And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. 27. He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like $18 INGRATITUDE. INIIERITANCE. as the sand of the sea: 28. And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. 29. So they did eat, and were well filled : for he gave them their own desire; 30. They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, 31. The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. 32. For all this they sinned still, and be- lieved not for his wondrous works. Psa. 106.7. Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt ; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; Isa. 1:2. I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against ITQ62. Jer. 2:17. Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way ? 31. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee? Jer. 5:7. How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adul- tery, 9. Shall I not visit for these things 3 saith the LORD : and shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 24. Nei- ther say they in their heart, Let us now fear the LORD Our God, that giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he re- serveth unto us the appointed weeks of the harvest. |Fzek. 16:17. Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, vs. 17–22. Dan. 5:18. O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and hon- Our: 20. But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was de- posed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him : 21. And he was driven from the sons of men; . . . till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whom- soever he will. Hos. 2:8. She did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal. 9. Therefore will Ireturn, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness. Hos. 4:7. As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. Hos. 7:13. Woe unto them for they have fled from me: destruction unto them be- cause they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me. 15. Though T have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against IYle. Hos. 11:1. When Israel was a child, then I loved him, . . . 3. I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them. Hos. 13:6. According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they for- gotten me. Amos 3:1. O children of Israel, . . . 2. You Only have I known of all the families of the earth : therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Mic. 6:3. O my people, what have I done unto thee ? and wherein have I wearied thee ? testify against me. 4. For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and re- deemed thee Out of the house of servants; Tuke 17:17. Were there not ten cleansed ? but where are the nine : 18. There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. John 1:11. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. Rom. 1:21.

Gen. 48:21. And Israel Said unto Joseph, Behold, I die; but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers. 22. Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow. Num. 27:6. And the LORD Spake unto MO- ses, saying, 7. The daughters of Zelophehad speak right: thou shalt Surely give them a possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren ; and thou shalt cause the inheritance of their father to pass unto them. 8. And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a man die, and have no son, then ye shall cause his inheritance to pass unto his daughter. 9. And if he have no daughter, then ye shall give his inherit- ance unto his brethren. 10. And if he have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his father's brethren. 11. And if his father have no brethren, then ye shall give his inheritance unto his kinsman that is next to him of his family, and he shall pos- sess it : and it shall be unto the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as the TORD commanded Moses. T)eut. 21:15. If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be her’s that was hated: 16. Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the Son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, 70/7ch is indeed the firstborn : 17. But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double por- tion of all that he hath: for he is the begin- 'ning of his strength; the right of the first- born is his. 1 ICin. 21:3. And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee. 2 Chr. 21:3.

And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 7. Be- hold, Hanameel the son of Shallum thine uncle shall come unto thee, saying, Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is thine to buy it. 8. So Hamameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin : for the right of inheritance is thine, and the redemption is thine; buy it for thyself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD. Ezek. 46:16.

Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance by oppression, to thrust them out of their pos- Session; but he shall give his sons inherit- ance out of his own possession: that my people be not scattered every man from his possession. Luke 15:12. And the younger of them Said to his father, Father, give me the por- tion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living, 25.

And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. 28. And he was angry, and would not go in : therefore came his father out, and entreated him. 29. And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment ; and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: 30. But as Soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. 31. And he Said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. Gal. 3:15. Brethren, I speak after the man- ner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, [marg., testament] yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. Heb. 9:16.

And I will come down and talk with thee there: and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone. 18. And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to mor- row, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat 2 for it was well with us in Egypt: therefore the TORD will give you flesh, and ye shall eat. 19. Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days; 20. But even a whole month, until it come Out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt? 21.

And the LORD Said unto Moses, Is the LORD's hand waxed short ; thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not. 24.

But there remained two of the men in the camp, the name of the one ºpas Eldad, and the name of the other Medad: and the spirit rested upon them ; and they were of them that were written, but went not out unto the taber- nacle: and they prophesied in the camp. 27. And there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp. 28. And Joshua, the Son of Nun, the Servant of Moses, one of his young men, answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. 29.

All scripture is given by in- spiration of God, and is profitable for doc- trine, for reproof, for correction, for instruc- tion in righteousness: Rev. 1:10. I was in the Spirit on the Tord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11.

But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them ; as the LORD had said. v. 32. . - Ex. 9:34. And when Pharaoh saw that the rain and the hail and the thunders were ceased, he sinned yet more, and hardened his heart, he and his servants. Ex. 10:8–11, 16–20; 14:5. Ex. 32:8. They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 9. And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 10. Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may con- Sume theirl: and I will make of thee a great nation. with Ex. 19:8; 24:3,7. Judg. 2:17. And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them : they turned quick- ly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD ; bºtt they did not so. 1 Kin. 18:21. And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. Psa. 106:12. Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. 13. They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel : Prov. 24:21. My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: &nd meddle not with them that are given to change: 22. For their calamity shall rise suddenly ; and who knoweth the ruin of them both ? Prov. 27:8. As a bird that wandereth from her nest, so is a man that wandereth from his place. Jer. 2:36. Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way ? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria. Hos. 6:4. O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee ? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. 5.

And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown ; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16. And these are they like- wise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immedi- ately receive it with gladness; 17.

But he said, Lord, suf- fer me first to go and bury my father. , 60. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 61. And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. 62.

Now for a long season Israel hat/ been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. 2 Chr. 17:7. Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Ben- hail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah. 8. And with them he sent Levites, even. Shemaiah, and Nethan- iah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and She- miramoth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, Levites; and with them Elishama, and Jehoram, priests. 9. And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the IORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught the people. - Ezra 7:10. For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments. Psa. 50:17. Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. Psa. 78:2. I will open my mouth in a par- able: I will utter dark sayings of old : 3. Which we have heard and known, and Our fathers have told us. 4. We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. 5. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, 624 INSTRUCTION. that they should make them known to their children: - might know theºn, ever, the children which should be born; who should arise and de- clare them to their children: 7. That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his com- mandments: 8. And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious genera- tion; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with GOd. Psa. 119:12. Blessed art thou, O LORD : teach me thy statutes. vs. 3–125. Psa. 143:8. Cause me to hear thy loving- kindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. 10. Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good; lead me into the land of uprightness. Prov. 1:1. The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; 2. To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; 3. To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judg- ment, and equity; 4. To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. 5. A wise imary will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise coun- sels: 6. To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. 20. Wisdom crieth without ; she uttereth her voice in the streets: 21. She crieth in the chief place of Concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying, 22. How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their Scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23. Turn you at my reproof: Behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. 24. Because I have called, and yerefused; I have stretched Out my hand, and no man regarded; 25. But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26. I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27. When your fear cometh as desolation, and your de- struction cometh as a whirlwind; when dis- tress and anguish cometh upon you. 28. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29. For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD; 30. They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. Prov. 22:17. Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto my knowledge. 18. For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips. 19. That thy trust may be in the LORD, I have made known to thee this day, even to thee. 20. Have not I written to thee excel- lent things in counsels and knowledge, 21. (40) 6. That the generation to come. That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee? Prov. 23:12. Apply thine heart unto in- struction, and thine ears to the words of knowledge. 23. Buy the truth, and sell it not ; also wisdom, and instruction, and un- derstanding. Prov. 24:30. I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; 31. And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. 32. Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. 33. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep : 34. So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth ; and thy want as an armed man. Jer. 32:33. And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive in- struction. Dan. 1:3. And the king spake unto Ash- penaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Is- rael, and of the king's seed, and of the princes: 4. Children in whom was no blem- ish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding Science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans. 5. And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king. 17. As for these four chil- dren, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. 18. Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. 19. And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king. 20. And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrolo- gers that were in all his realm. - Luke 20:1. And it came to pass, that on One of those days, as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the gospel, the chief priests and the scribes came upon him with the elders, 2. And spake unto him, saying, Tell us, by what authority doest thou these things? or who is he that gave thee this authority? . . Luke 21:37. And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is 62%. , ' A INSTRUCTION.—Or CHILDREN. called the montºvt of Olives. 38. And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him. Rom. 2:18. And knowest his will, and ap- provest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; 1 Cor. 12:28. And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily proph- ets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 29. Are all apostles? (tre all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles 2 Gal. 3:24. Wherefore the law was Our Schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Gal. 4:1.

Ex. 13:8. And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, Saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt. 9. And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth : for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt. 10. Thou shalt therefore keep this Ordinance in his season from year to year. Deut. 4:9. Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy Soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy Sons' Sons; 10. Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, When the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children. Deut. 6:6. And these words, which I com- mand thee this day, shall be in thune heart : 7. And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. Deut. 11:18. Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your Soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. 19. And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walk- est by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 20. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates: 21.

And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel. 10. And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven years, in the solem. nity of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles, 11. When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing. 12. Gather the people together, men, and Women, and children, and thy stranger that Žs within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe to do all the words of this law: 13. And that their children, which have not known anything, may hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go Over Jordan to possess it. Josh. 8:35. Psa. 34:11, Come, ye children, hearken un- to me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. Psa. 78:5.

And it shall be when the TORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee, 12. That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast ; the male shall be the LORD's. 13. And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb ; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck : and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem. 14. And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage: 15. And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the IORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast : therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem. 16. And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the IORD brought us forth out of Egypt. Lev. 11:44. For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore Sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy ; for I am holy : neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 45. For I am the TORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy. 46. This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth : 47. To make a difference between the unclean and the clean, Num. 15:38. Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue: 39. And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remem- ber all the commandments of the LORD, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring: Deut. 27:1. And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day. 2. And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass Over Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalt set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister: 3. And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee. [Josh. 4: 1–11.] 4. Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister. 5. And there shalt thou build an altar unto the TORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them. 6. Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God: 7. And thou shalt offer peace offerings, and shalt eat there, and re- joice before the LORD thy God. 8. And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly. 9. And Moses and the priests the Levites spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God. 10. Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day. 11. And Moses charged the people the same day, Saying, 12. These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come Over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin : 13. And these shall stand upon mount Ebal to curse; Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali. 14. And the Levites shall speak, and say unto all the men of Israel with a loud voice, 15. Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen. 16. Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall Say, Amen. 17.

Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of IS- rael: put it in their mouths, that this Song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel. Deut. 32:1. Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. 2. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the Small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: 3. Because I will publish the name of the LORD : ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 4. He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. 5. They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation. 6. DO ye thus re- quite the TORD, O foolish people and un- wise ? is not he thy father that hath bought thee ? hath he not made thee, and estab- lished thee ? 7. Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy eld- ers, and they will tell thee. 8. When the Most High divided to the nations their in- heritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. 9.

He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 11.

So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13. He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields: and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14. But- ter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat : and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape. 15. But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and light- ly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. 16. They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. 17. They sacrificed un- to devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. 18. Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee. 19. And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his Sons, and of his daughters. 20. And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very fro- ward generation, children in whom is no faith. , 21. They have moved me to jealousy with that w/vic/ is not God; they have pro- voked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those w/ic/ are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. 22. For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. 23. I will heap mischiefs upon them ; I will spend mine arrows upon them. 24. They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction : I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of Serpents of the dust. 25. The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs. 26. Isaid, I would scat- ter them into corners, I would make the re- membrance of them to cease from among men: 27. Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this. 28. For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them. 29. O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end 30. How should one chase a thou- sand, and two put ten thousand to flight, ex- cept their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up 2 31. For their rock is not as Our Rock, even our enemies them- selves being judges. 32. For their vine is Of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah. their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters &re bitter: 33. Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. 34. Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures? 35. To me belongeth vengeance, and recom- pence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste. 36. For the LORD shall judge his peo- ple, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left. 37. And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted, 38. Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection. 628 INSTRUCTION. INTEGRITY. 89. See now that I, even 1, arr, he, and there is no god with me : I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. 40. For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. 41. If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment ; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me. 42. I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy. 43. Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeancetohisad- versaries, aridwill be merciful unto his land, and to his people. 44. And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and HOShea, the son of Nun. 45. And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel: 46. And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. 47. For it is not a vain thing for you ; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to pos- sess it. 2 Chr. 17:7. Also in the third year of his reign he sent to his princes, even to Ben- hail, and to Obadiah, and to Zechariah, and to Nethaneel, and to Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah. 8. And with them he sent Levites, even Shermaiah, and Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, and Asahel, and Shemira- moth, and Jehonathan, and Adonijah, and Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, Levites; and with them. Elishama and Jehoram, priests. 9. And they taught in Judah, and had the book of the law of the LORD with them, and went about throughout all the cities of Ju- 'dah, and taught the people. Neh. 8:7. Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Ho- dijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, |Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law; and the people stood in their place. 8. So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to un- derstand the reading. Isa. 28:9. Whom shall he teach knowl- edge? and whom shall he make to under- stand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10. H'or precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: - Matt. 5:1. And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him : 2. And he opened his mouth, and taught them, Say- ing, vs. 3–48; chapters 6; 7. - Tuke 4:16. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up : and, as his custom was, he went into the Synagogue On the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and re- covering of sight to the blind, to Set at liberty them that are bruised, 19. To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20. And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture ful- filled in your ears. Luke 24:27. And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. - John 7:14.

Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure. Job 27:4. My lips shall not speak wicked- ness, nor my tongue utter deceit. 5. God forbid that I should justify you : till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. 6. My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go : my heart shall not reproach me So long as I live. Job 29:14. I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem. Job 31:1. I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid? 2.

Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps? 5. If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit ; 6. Let me be weighed in an even balance, that God may know mine integrity. 7. If my step hath turned Out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands; 8. Then let me Sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out. 9. If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door; 10. Then, let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her. 11. For this Žs an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges. 12. For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase. 13. If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me; 14. What then shall I do when God riseth up 2 and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him? 15. Did not he that made me in the womb make him 2 and did not One fashion us in the womb 3 16. If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail; 17. Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof; 18.

If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thow art my confidence; 25. If I re- joiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much; 26. If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness; 27. And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand: 28. This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above. 29. If I rejoiced at the de- struction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him: 30. Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul. 31. If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh we cannot be satisfied. 32. The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller. 33. If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom : 34. Did I fear a great multitude, or did the con- tempt of families terrify me, that I kept si- lence, and went not out of the door ? 35. Oh that one would hear me! behold, my de- sire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book. 36.

Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. 13.

And they will tell # to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD (17't among this people, that thou IORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day- time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by might. 15. Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will Speak, saying, 16. Because the IORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness. 17. And now, I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, according as thou hast spo- ken, Saying, 18. The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fa- thers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. 19. Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now. 20. And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word: 21. But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD. Num. 16:46. And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them : for there is wrath gone out from the LORD ; the plague is begun. 47. And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on in- cense, and made an atonement for the peo- ple. 48. And he stood between the dead and the living ; and the plague was stayed. 49. Now they that died in the plague were four- teen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah. 50. And Aaron returned unto MOSes unto the door of the tabernacle of the congrega- tion: and the plague was stayed. IDeut. 5:5. (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the word of the LORD : for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount :) Deut. 7.9. Know therefore that the IORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations: Deut. 9:18. And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. 20. And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time. 25. Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first, because the LORD had said he would destroy you. 26. I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy peo- ple and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 27. Remember thy Serv- ants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin: 28.

And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpeh, and I will pray for you unto the LORD. 6. And they gathered to- gether to Mizpeh, and drew water, and poured it out before the LORD, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinned against the LORD. And Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpeh. 7. And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpeh, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines. 8. And the children of Israel Said to Sam- uel, Cease not to cry unto the LORD Our God for us, that he will save us Out of the hand of the Philistines. 1 Sam. 12:23. Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way: 1 Sam. 15:24. And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the LORD, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice. 25. Now therefore, I pray thee, pardon my sin, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD. 26. And Samuel Said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel. 30. Then he said, I have sinned: yet honour me novy, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel, and turn again with me, that I may worship the LORD thy God. Job 1:5. And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and Sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually. Job 9:32. For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. 33. Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both. Job 16:21. Oh that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadetſ, for his neighbour ! Job 42:8. Therefore take unto you now Seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job. 9. So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did ac- cording as the LORD commanded them : the LORD also accepted Job. 10. And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before. Psa. 122:6. Pray for the peace of Jerusa- lem: they shall prosper that love thee. Isa. 62:6.

And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalemia praise in the earth. Isa. 65:8. Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not ; for a blessing is in it : so will I do for my servants' sake, that I may not destroy them all. Jer. 5:1. Run ye to and fro through the Streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it. Jer. 7:16. Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee. Jer. 11:14. Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble. chapter 14:11. • * Jer. 15:1. Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind condd not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth. Jer. 29:7. , Seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be car- º away captives, and pray unto the LORD Or it : Ezek. 22:30. And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it : but I found none. Matt. 8:5. And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, 6. And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. 7. And Jesus said unto him, I will come and heal him. 8. The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. 9. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. 10. When Jesus heard it, he mar- velled, and said to them that followed, Ver- ily I Say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. 11. And I say 634 IN TERCESSION.—Exemplified. unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 12. But the children Of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnash- ing of teeth. 13. And Jesus said unto the Centurion, GO thy way; and as thou hast be- lieved, so be it done unto thee. And his Servant was healed in the selfsame hour. Mark 6:55. And ran through that whole region roundabout, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. 56. And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and be- Sought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole. Eph. 6:18. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and suppli- cation for all Saints; 1 Tim, 2:1. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, Supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2. For kings, and for all that are in authority; Heb. 13:18. Pray for us: Jas. 5:14. IS any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with Oil in the name of the Lord: 15. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the TOrd shall raise him up ; and if he have com- mitted sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16. Confess your faults one to another, and pray One for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 17. Elias was a man Subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain : and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months. 18. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. 19. Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him: 20. Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of SIllS. 1 Pet. 2:5. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priest- hood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, accept- able to God by Jesus Christ. v. 9. 1 John 5:16.

There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. EXEMPLIFIED: Gen. 48:16.

Eli answered and said, Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition that thou hast asked of him. 1 Sam. 12:23. Moreover, as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: 2 Sam. 24:17. And David spake unto the TORD when he saw the angel that smote the people, and said, LO, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house. 1 Kin. 8:29. That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place. 38. What prayer and Supplications SOever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house: 39. Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; 44. If thy peo- ple go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name: 45. Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause. 635, INTERCESSION.—EXEMPLITIED. 1 Chr. 29:18. O TORT) God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee: 19.

Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. 41. Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy Saints rejoice in goodness. 2 Chr. 30:18. The good IORD pardon every one 19. That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purifi- cation of the Sanctuary. Psa. 7:9.

For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation there- of as a lamp that burneth. Isa. 63:17. O J ORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy serv- ants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. 18. The people of thy holiness have pos- sessed it but a little while : Our adversaries have trodden down thy Sanctuary. 19. We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name. Isa. 64:8. But now, O LORD, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our pot- ter; and we all are the work of thy hand. 9. Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. 10. Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wil- derness, Jerusalem a desolation. 11. Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste. 12. Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore? Jer. 18:20. Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my Soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them. Ezek. 9:8. And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Iord GOD ! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem ? Ezek. 11:13. Dan. 9:3. And I set my face unto the Tord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: 4. And I prayed unto the TORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the cove- nant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; 5. We have sinned, and have committed in- iquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy pre- cepts and from thy judgments: 6. Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 7. O Lord, right- eousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the __ 636 TNTERCESSION.---ExEMPLIFIED. men of Judali, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that (tre near, and that dºe far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee. 8. O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. 9. To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness, though we have rebelled against him ; 10. Neither have we obeyed the voice of the TORD Our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. 11. Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the Oath that is writ- ten in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. 12. And he hath confirmed his words, which he Spake against us, and against Our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusa- lem. 13. As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD Our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. 14. Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD Our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice. 15. And now, O Lord Our God, that hast brought thy peo- ple forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly. 16. O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy moun- tain: because for Our sins, and for the in- iquities of Our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us. 17. Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his sup- plications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy Sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's Sake. 18. O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our deso- lations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplica- tions before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies. 19. O Lord, hear; O TORD, forgive; O TOrd, hearken and do; de- fernot,for thine own sake, O my God: forthy city and thy people are called by thy name. Joel 2:17. Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them Say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to re- proach, Mic. 7:14.

And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous with- in the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. Us. 29,30,32. Gen. 19:22. Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Gen. 26:4. And I will make thy Seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; 5. Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my com- mandments, my statutes, and my laws. 24. And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake. 1 Kin. 11:12. Notwithstanding in thy days I will not do it for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son. 13. Howbeit I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to thy son for David my servant's sake, and for Jeru- salem's sake which I have chosen. 34. How- beit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand : but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes: 1 Kin. 15:4. Nevertheless for David's sake did the LORD his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his Son after him, and to establish Jerusalem : 2 Kin. 8:19. Yet the TORD would not de- stroy Judah for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give him always a light, and to his children. 2 Chr. 21:7. Psa. 103:17. But the mercy of the LORD 2s from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children; 18. To such as keep his covenant, and to those that re- member his commandments to do them. Isa. 37:35. For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my Serv- ant David's sake. Jer. 5:1. Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it. . Ezek. 14:14. Though these three men, Noah, T)aniel, and Job, were in it, they should de- liver but their own souls by their righteous- ness, Saith the Lord GOD. vs. 18,20. 16. Though these three men were in it, as Ilive, saith the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be de- livered, but the land shall be desolate. Matt. 24:22. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Rom. 11:27. For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 28. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your Sakes: but astouching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. Rev. 5:8. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of Saints. Rev. 8:3. And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all Saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4. And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. See CHILDREN, OF THE RIGHTEOUS, BLESSED OF GOD: JESUS, MEDIATOR. INTEREST. Income from loaning mon- ey, usually called usury in the scriptures, but not generally signifying unlawful or un- just rates. Ex. 22:25. If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury. Lev. 25:36. Take thou no usury of him, Or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. 37. Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase. Deut. 23:19. Thou shalt not lend upon usu- ry to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury: 20. Unto a stranger thou may- est lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it. Neh. 5:1. And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews. 2. For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live. 3. Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. 4. There were also that said, 'We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards. 5. Yet now Our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, Our children as their children: and, lo, We bring into bondage Our Sons and Our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought into bondage already :: neither is it in Our power to redeem, them, ; for other men have Our lands and vineyards. 6. And I was very angry when I heard their cry, and these words. 7. Then I consulted with myself, 639 INTEREST. IRON. and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them. 8. And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and will ye even Sell your brethren? Or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found noth- ing to answer. 9. Also I Said, It is not good that ye do: Ought ye not to walk in the fear of Our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies : 10. I likewise, and my brethren, and my Servants, might exact of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury. 11. Restore, I ray you, to them, even this day, their ands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the Wine, and the oil that ye exact of them. 12. Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; SO will we do as thou say- est. Then I called the priests, and took an Oath of them, that they should do accord- ing to this promise. 13. Also I shook my lap, and Said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise. - Psa. 15:5. He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved. Prov. 28:8. He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gath- er it for him that will pity the poor. Isa. 24:2. And it shall be, as with the peo- ple, so with the priest; as with the servant, So with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. Ezek. 18:8. He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniqui- ty, hath executed true judgment between man and man, 9. Hath walked in my stat- utes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly ; he is just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD. 13. Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him. 17. That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his fa- ther, he shall surely live. Ezek, 22:12. In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast for- gotten me, saith the lord GOD.

And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that com- eth to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth. On me shall never thirst. 41. The Jews then murmured at him, because he Said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. 48. I am that bread of life. 50. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 53. Thon Jesus Said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: So he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58. This is that bread which came down from heaven: . . . he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. John 8:12. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in dark- ness, but shall have the light of life. John 10:9. I am the door : by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have ăt more abundantly. 11. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. v. 14. John 11:25. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth # me, though he were dead, yet shall he IVe : John 14:6. Jesus Saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 15:1. I am the true vine, and my Fa- ther is the husbandman. 5. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered ; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and ft shall be done unto you. Col. 3:4. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 2 Tim. 1:10. But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: (42) 657 J ESUS, THE CHRIST. — ASCENSION or—Compassion or Rev. 1:18.

Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: Eph. 4:8. Mark 16:19. After the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. Luke 24:26. Ought not Christ to have suf- fered these things, and to enterinto his glory ! 50. He led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them, 51. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. John 1:51. And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God as- cending and descending upon the Son of man. John 6:62. What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before ? John 7:33. Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me. 34. Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me : and where I am, thither ye cannot come. 39. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him should receive : for the Holy Ghost was not yet given ; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) John 14:2. I go to prepare a place for you. 3. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto my- self; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 12. I go unto my Father. 28. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. John 16:5. Now I go my way to him that sent me; 7. It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you ; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 10. I go to my Fa- ther, and ye see me, no more; 16. A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. 25. The time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. 28. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. John 17:5. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 13. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. John 20:17. Touch me not ; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: Acts1:9. When he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. Acts 3:21. Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, Eph. 1:20. Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set / in) at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Eph. 4:8. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity cap- tive, and gave gifts unto men. 9. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also de- scended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10. He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 1 Tim. 3:16. God was manifest in the flesh, justifiedinthe Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Heb. 1:3. When he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high ; # Heb. 4:14. We have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, - Heb. 9:24.

Matt. 8:3. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 16. When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were pos- sessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 17. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Him- self took Our infirmities, and bare Ozºr sick- nesses. Isa. 53:4. Matt. 9:36. When he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Matt. 14:14. Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with com- passion toward them, and he healed theirsick. 658 JESUS, THE CHRIST.-CONFESSING—CREATOR-DEATH OF. Matt. 15:32. I have compassion on the mul- titude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. Matt. 18:11. For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. 12. How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray ? 13. And if so be that he find it, verily I Say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. Matt. 20:34. So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immedi- ately their eyes received sight, and they fol- lowed him. Matt. 23:37. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not Mark 6:34.

I have compassion on the mul- titude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat : 3. And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way; for divers of them came from far. Luke 7:13. When the Lord saw her, he had tº passion On her, and Said unto her, Weep Il OU. Luke 19:41. And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42. Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace but now they are hid from thine eyes. John 11:34. And said, Where have ye laid him ? They said unto him, Lord, come and See. 35. Jesus wept. 36. Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him 37. And some of them Said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died ? 38. Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. John 18:8. If therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: 9. That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none. 2 Cor. 8:9. Ye know the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your Sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. Heb. 4:15.

He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, So he 659 JESUS, THE CHRIST. —DEATH OF. openeth not his mouth. 8. He was taken from prison and from judgment : and who shall declare his generation ? for he was cut off Out of the land of the living : for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any de- ceit in his mouth. 10. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him ; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his Soul an of- fering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my right- eous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made in- tercession for the transgressors. Mark 15:28. 1)an. 9:26. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desola- tions are determined. Zech. 12:9. It shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the na- tions that come against Jerusalem. 10. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. Zech. 13:6. One shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. 7. Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, Saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. Matt. 12:40. As Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly: so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Tuke 11:30. Matt. 16:4. A wicked and adulterous gen- eration Seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. 21.

And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry. - Matt. 20:17.

Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the Scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, 19. And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him ; and the third day he shall rise again. Mark 10:32,34. Matt. 21:33. Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country : 34. And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it. 35. And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat One, and killed an- other, and stoned another. 36. Again, he Sent other servants more than the first : and they did unto them likewise. 37. But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. 38. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir : come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 39. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him. Matt. 26:2. After two days is the feast of the passOver, and the Son of man is be- trayed to be crucified. 18.

Mark 10:33. Behold, we go up to Jerusa- lem ; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes: and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: 34. And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. Matt. 20:18, 19; Luke 18:31–33. Luke 2:34. Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; 35.

Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. 44. Let these sayings sink down into your ears. for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men. . Luke 12:50. I have a baptism to be bap- tized with ; and how am Istraitened till it be accomplished 1 Luke 17:25. First must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. Duke 22:15. With dosire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer : 37. This that is written must yet be accom- plished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. John 10:11. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 15. I lay down my life for the sheep. 17. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. John 12:7. Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. 32. I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all nven unto me. 33. This he said, signifying what death he should die. Matt. 26:12; Mark 14:9. 34. The people answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up 2 who is this Son of man Ż John 13:18. He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. 19. Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he, 21.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 16:20. Ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice : and ye shall be SOrrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. John 18:11. The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it 2 Acts 26:22. Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, wit- messing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: 23. That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. 1 Cor. 1:17. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 18. For the preaching of the cross is to them that per- ish, foolishness; but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God. 23. But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks fool- ishness; 24. But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 1 Cor. 2:2. For I determined not to know anything among you, Save Jesus Christ, and him Crucified. 1 Cor. 15:3. For I delivered unfo you first Of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; 4. And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 2 Cor. 4:10. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made mani- fest in our mortal flesh. 1 TheSS. 4:14.

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. For circumstances of the death of, see HISTORY OF, above. I}ESIGN OF HIS DEATH: Gen: 3:15. I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Isa. 53:4. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5. But he was wounded for our transgres- sions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him ; and with his stripes we are healed. 6. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way: and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 8. He was Cut Off Out Of the land Of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 10. It pleased the LORD to bruise him ; he hath put hºmº to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall pro- long his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satis- fied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. 12. Therefore will I divide 661 JESUS, THE CHRIST.—DESIGN OF HIS DEATH. him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death ; and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made in- tercession for the transgressors. vs. 1–12. Dan. 9:24. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to Seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy, 26. After three score and two weeks shall Messiah be cut Off, but not for himself: Zech. 9:11. By the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water. Zech. 13:1. There shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. Matt. 20:28. The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Mark 10:45. - Matt. 26:28. This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Mark 14:24. Luke 22:19. He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 20. Likewise also the cup after Supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. Luke 24:26. Ought not Christ to have suf- fered these things, and to enter into his glory 3 John 1:29. Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. John 3:14. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up : 15. That whosoever be- lieveth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not per- ish, but have everlasting life. 17. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 6:51. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. John 10:11. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 15. I lay down my life for the sheep. 17. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. John 11:49. Ye know nothing at all, 50. Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that One man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 51. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation; 52. And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. * John 12:24. Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 31. Now is the judgment of this world : now shall the prince of this world be cast Out. 32. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men, unto me. 33. This he said, signifying what death he should die. John 14:19. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. John 15:13. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Acts 5:30. The God of Our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. 31. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness Of sins. Acts 20:28. The church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Acts 26:23. That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. Rom. 3:24. Justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remis- sion of sins that are past, through the for- bearance of God; Rom. 4:25. Who was delivered for Our offences, and was raised again for Our jus- tification. Rom. 5:6. When we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7. Scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11. We also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. Rom. 6:3. Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death; that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5. For if we have been planted together in the like- ness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. 9. Christ be- ing raised from the dead dieth no more; 662 JESUS, THE CHRIST. —DESIGN OF HIS DEATH. death hath no more dominion over him. 10. For in that he died, he died unto sin Oil Cé: Rom. 8:3. God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, con- demned sin in the flesh : 32. He that spared not his own son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 34. Who is he that con- demneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus Our Lord. Rom. 14:9. To this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 15. De- stroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 1 Cor. 5:7. Even Christ our passover is Sacrificed for us: 1 Cor. 6:20. Ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Cor. 8:11. Through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died ? 1 Cor. 15:3. Christ died for Our sins ac- cording to the Scriptures: 2 Cor. 5:14. The love Of Christ Constrain- eth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15. And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 19. God was in Christ, recon- ciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath com- mitted unto us the word Of reconciliation. 21. He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Cor. 8:9. Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your Sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. Gal. 1:4. Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and Our Father: Gal. 2:20. I am Crucified with Christ : nev- ertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal. 3:13. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree. Gal. 4:4. When the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5. To re- deem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Eph. 1:6. He hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Eph. 2:13. Now in Christ Jesus ye who Sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14. He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between w8; 15. Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in Ordinances; for to make in himself of twain One new man, so making peace; 16. And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: Eph. 5:2. Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a Sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 25. Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26. That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Col. 1:14. In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of Sins: 20. Having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself: by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. 21. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in you?' mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22. In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: Col. 2:14. Blotting out the handwriting of Ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15. And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 1 Thess. 1:10. Whom he raised from the dead, ever, Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. 1 Thess. 5:9. God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain Salvation by Our Lord Jesus Christ, 10. Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 1. Tim. 2:6. Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. Tit. 2:14. Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, Zeal- ous of good works. Heb. 1:3. Who, . . . when he had by him- self purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high : Heb. 2:9. We see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 10. To make the cap- tain of their salvation perfect through suf- ferings. 14. As the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise 663 took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15. And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 18. In that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Heb. 7:27. Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up him- self. Heb. 9:12. Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for 7ts. blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, Sancti- fieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15. And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 16. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17. For a testa- ment is of force after men are dead: Other- wise it is of no strength at all while the tes- tator liveth. 25. Nor yet that he should of- fer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with the blood of others; 26. For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the Sac- rifice of himself. 28. Christ was once of- fered to bear the sins of many ; Heb. 10:10. We are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 12. This man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 14. By one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanc- tified. 17. Their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18. Now where remis- sion of these is, there is no more offering for sin. 19. Having therefore, brethren, bold- ness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20. By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the Vail, that is to say, his flesh ; Heb. 12:2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the Cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 24. To Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speak- eth better things than that of Abel. Heb. 13:11. The bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the Sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned with- out the camp. 12. Wherefore Jesus also, 13. For if the JESUS, THE CHRIST-DEATH OF, VolunTARy. that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. 1 Pet. 1:2. Elect according to the fore- knowledge of God the Father, through Sanc- tification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ : 18. Ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradi- tion from your fathers; 19. But with the precious blood of Christ, as of alamb without blemish and without spot: 20. Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 21. Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory ; that your faith and hope might be in God. 1 Pet. 2:21. Christ also suffered forus, leav- ing us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 24. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 Pet. 3:18. Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 1 Pet. 4:1. Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: 1 John 1:7. The blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1 John 2:2. He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world. * 1 John 3:16. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: 1 John 4:10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Rev. 1:5. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6. And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; Rev. 5:9. Thou wast slain, and hast re- deemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10. And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. Rev. 7:14. These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15. Therefore are they before the throne of God, Rev. 13:8. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples, 44.

He raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Eph. 4:10. He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things. Phil. 2:9. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10.

And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Col. 2:15. Having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Col. 3:1. Christ sitteth on the right hand Of GOd. - - 1 Tim. 3:16. God was manifest in the flesh, . . received up into glory. Heb. 1:3. When he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; Heb. 2:9. We see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; Heb. 4:10.

The forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever Heb. 7:26. Such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Bieb. 8:1. We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; Heb. 9:12. By his own blood he entered in Once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 24. Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Heb. 10:12. After he had offered One sacri- fice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13. From henceforth expect- ing till his enemies be made his footstool. IHeb. 12:2. Who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 1 Pet. 3:22. Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God: EXAMPLE, AN : Matt. 11:29. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matt. 20:28. Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Mark 10:43. But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: 44. And who- soever of you will be the chiefest, shall be Servant of all. 45. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to min- ister, and to give his life a ransom formany. Luke 22:26. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 27. For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth ? is not he that sitteth at meat ? but I am among you as he that serveth. - 668 JESUS, THE CHRIST.—AN ExAMPLE. John 10:4. He goeth before them, and the sheep follow him : for they kilow his voice. John 13:13. Ye call me Master and Tord: and ye say well; for so I am. 14.

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. John 17:14. The world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 18. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have 1 also sent them into the world. 21. That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them ; that they may be one, even as we are One: Rom. 8:29. Whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, Rom. 13:14. Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, Rom. 15:2.

Wherefore re- ceive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. 2 Cor. 4:10. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 2 Cor. 8:9. For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. with COntext. 2 Cor. 10:1.

Eph. 5:2. Walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet- smelling Savour. Eph. 6:9. And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven: neither is there respect of persons with Illill. Phil. 2:5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the CI’OSS. Col. 3:10. Put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him : 11. Christ is all, and in all. 13. Forbearing one another, and for- giving one another, if any man have a quar- rel against any : even as Christ forgave you, So also do ye. 1 Thess. 1:6. Ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost : Heb. 3:1. Holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Pieb. 12:2. LOOking unto Jesus the author and finisher of own faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3. For con- sider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 4. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. 1 Pet. 1:15. As he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conver- sation; v. 16. 1 Pet. 2:21. For even hereunto, were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should fol- low his steps: 22. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth : 23. Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not ; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 24. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto right- eousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 Pet. 3:17. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. 18. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the un- just, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 1 John 2:6. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 1 John 3:1. The world knoweth us not, be- cause it knew him not. 2. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet ap- pear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3. Every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 16. Hereby 669 JESUS, TIIE CHRIST.-FAITH perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and We Ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1 John 4:17.

But the other answering re- buked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condem- nation ? 41.

For the Son of man is come to Save that which was lost. Matt. 20:28. Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. 30. And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus passed by, Cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou Son of David. 31.

And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28. For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 36.

And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me : never- theless, not as I will, but as thou wilt. 40. And he cometh unto the disciples, and find- eth them asleep, and Saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 41. Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 42. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. 43. And he came and found them asleep again : for their eyes were heavy. 44. And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45.

Mark 10:33. Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be de- livered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: 45. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Mark 14:21. The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him : but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed good were it for that man if he had never been born. 62. And Jesus Said, . . . ye shall See the Son of man sitting on the right hand. Of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Luke 2:11. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in Swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13.

But made himself of no reputa- tion, and took upon him the form of a serv- ant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 1 Tim. 2:5. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Heb. 2:9. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffer- ing of death, crowned with glory and hon- our; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 10. For it be- came him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many Sons into glory, to make the captain of their Sal- vation perfect through sufferings. 14. For- asmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15. And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17. Wherefore in all things it behooved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18. For in that he himself hath Suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Heb. 10:12. But this man, after he had of- fered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God. 1 John 4:2. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Je- sus Christ is come in the flesh is Of GOd: 3. And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 2 John 7.

The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb be- fore his shearer, SO opened he not his mouth: 33.

For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. 2 Cor. 10:1. I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, Phil. 2:7. Made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8.

Thou spakest in vision to thy holy One, and Saidst, I have laid help upon One that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. Isa. 7:14. Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall con- ceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. 15. Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to re- fuse the evil, and choose the good. 16.

The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. 16. And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 17. So all the gener- ations from Abraham to David are four- teen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen (43; 673 JESUS, TIIE CHRIST.—TNEARNATION OF. generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen gen- erations. [Luke 3:23–38.] 18. The birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, be- fore they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 23. Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Isa. 7:14. Matt. 8:20. The Son of man hath not where to lay his head. Matt. 13:55. Is not this the carpenter's son ? is not his mother called Mary 2 and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? 56. And his sisters, are they not all with us? + Matt. 22:45. If David then called him TOrd, how is he his son ? Luke 1:26. And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth. 27. To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thoºd that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his Saying, and cast in her mind what manner of Salutation this should be. 30. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest : and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33. And he shall reign Over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, Seeing I know not a man? 35. And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 38. And Mary said, Behold the hand- maid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. 39. And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; 40. And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisa- beth. 41. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb : and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: 42. And She Spake Out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed Žs the fruit of thy womb. 43. And whence 7s this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44. For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy Salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45. And blessed is she that be- -*s lieved : for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. 46. And Mary said, My Soul doth magnify the Lord, 47. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48. For he hath regarded the low estate of his hand- maiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 49. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. 50. And his mercy is on them that fear him from gen- eration to generation. 51. He hath shewed strength with his arm ; he hath scat- tered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. , 52. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. 54. He hath holpen his serv- ant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; 55. As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. 56. And Mary abode with her about three months, and re- turned to her own house. Luke 2:1. And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. 2. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3. And all went to be taxed, every One into his own city. 4. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David :) 5. To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 8. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord Shone round about them: and they were Sore afraid. 10. And the angel said unto them, Fear not : for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Tord. 12. And this shall be a sign unto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in Swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 13. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 15. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and See this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 16. And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a man- 674 JESUS, THE CHRIST.—INTERCESSION OF JUDGE. ger. 17. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 18. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 19. But Mary kept all these things, and pon- dered them in her heart. 20. And the shep- herds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and Seen, as it was told unto them. 21. And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the W 01.11b. Tuke 24:39. Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye See me have. John 1:14.

Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus: Rom. 1:3. His Son Jesus Christ Our Lord, which was made of the seed of David ac- cording to the flesh; Rom. 8:3. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God Sending his own son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. ſº |Rom. 9:5.

And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Col. 1:15. Who is the image of the invisi- ble God, the firstborn of every creature: 1 Tim. 3:16. Great is the mystery of godli- ness: God was manifest in the fiesh. Heb. 1:3. Being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, 6. And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. Heb. 2:9. We See Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffer. ing of death, 14. As the children are par- takers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same ; 16. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17. In all things it behoved him to be made like unto /vis brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18.

And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: Iuke 3:17.

He hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF T.ORDS. Rev. 20:4. I saw thrones, and they sat up- on them, and judgment was given unto them : and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not wor- shipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his markupon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 6.

See CHURCH, PROPHECIES CONCERNING. I(INGDOM OF : ITS NATURE. Matt. 13:24. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which Sowed good seed in his field : 25. But while men slept, his enemy came and Sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou Sow good seed in thy field 2 from whence then hath it tares? 28. He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up 2 29. But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30. Let both grow to- gether until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them : but gather the wheat into my barn. 31. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and Sowed in his field : 32. Which indeed is the least Of all seeds : but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. 33. Another parable spake he unto them ; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. 34. All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them : 35. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. 36. Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house; and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. 37. He answered and said unto them, He that Soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38. The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the king- dom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one : 39. The enemy that Sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which doiniquity ; 42. And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. 44. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field ; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. 45. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: 46. Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. 47. Again, the king- dom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: 48. Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. 49. So shall it be at the Cnd of the world : the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, 50. And shall cast them into the furnace of fire : there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 51. Jesus Saith unto them, Have ye under- stood all these things 2 They say unto him, Yea, Lord. - Matt. 18:3. And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4. Whosoever there- fore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Luke 17:21. Neither shall they say, Io here ! or, lo there ! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. . John 8:23. And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath ; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. John 18:36. Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. 37. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then ? Jesus answered, Thou Sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. 2 Cor. 5:16. Wherefore henceforth know We no man after the flesh: yea, though We 680 f JESUS, THE CHRIST-RINGDOM OF, PROPHECIES CoNCERNING. have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 17. There- fore if any man be in Christ, he is a new Greature : Old things are passed away ; be- hold, all things are become new. 2 Cor. 10:3. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4. (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds ;) 5.

Ezek. 47:3. When the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters ; the waters were to the ancles. 4. Again he measured a thou- Sand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through: the waters were to the loins. 5. Afterwards he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over. 7. Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the One side and on the other. 8. Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed. 9. And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whitherso- ever the rivers shall come, shall live : and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed ; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh. 12.

But the Saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. 22. Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High , and the time came that the Saints possessed the kingdom. 27.

That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of cap- tains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the fiesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. 19. And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. 21. And the remnant were slain with the Sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sºpord proceedeth out of his mouth : and all the fowls were filled with their flesh. Pev. 20:1.

Isa. 42:1. Behold my servant, whom I up- hold; mine elect, in whom my Soul delight- eth; I have put my Spirit upon him : he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. 2. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the Street. [Matt. 12:18–21.] 3. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the Smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. 4. He shall not fail nor be discour- aged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. 5. Thus saith God the LORD, he that Created the heavens, and stretched them. Out ; he that spread forth the earth, and that which com- eth out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: 6. I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a Covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; 7. To open the blind eyes, to bring Out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. 18. Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. 19. Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent % who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD's servant? 20. Seeing many things, but thou observest not ; opening the ears, but he heareth not. 21. The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. Isa. 45:14. Thus saith the LORD, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make Supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is mone else, there is no God. Isa. 49:5. And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength. 18. Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather them- selves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith the LORD, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on thee, as a bride doeth. 19. For thy waste and thy desolate places, and the land of thy destruction, shall even now be too narrow by reason of the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away. 20. The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell. 21. Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these ? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been 3 22. Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy Sons in their arms, and thy daugh- ters shall be carried upon their shoulders. 23.

Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your Soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. 4. Behold, I have given him for a witness to the peo- ple, a leader and commander to the people. 5. Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee. 6. Seek ye the TORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7. Let the wicked for- Sake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LoRD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to Our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and mak- eth it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the Sower, and bread to the eater: 11. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 12. For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. 13.

And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. 20. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. 21. And they shall build houses, and inhabit them, ; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 22. They shall not build, and another inhabit ; they shall not plant, and another eat : for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 23. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the Seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. 24. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. 25. The wolf and the lamb shall feed to- gether, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat.

And it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, Saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD : neither shall it come to mind; neither shall they re- member it; neither shall they visit it; nei- ther shall that be done any more. 17. At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD ; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart. 18. In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers. 19. But I said, How shall I put thee among the chil- dren, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me. Dan. 2:44. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consumé all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, Whose garment was white as Snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his Wheels as burning fire. 10. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him : thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him : the judgment was set, and the books were opened. 11. I beheld then be- cause of the voice of the great words which the horn Spake : I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame. 12. As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a Season and time. 13. I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages,should serve him: his domin- ion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. 27. And the king- dom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the Saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. Hos. 2:18. And in that day will I make a Covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle Out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely. 23. I will say to them, which were not my people, Thou art my pºle; and they shall Say, Thou art my OCI. - Amos 9:11.

But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. 2. And many nations shall come, and Say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob ; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 3. And (44) 689 JESUS, THE CHRIST –KINGDOM OF, SECULAR Notions CONCERNING. he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar Off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a Sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. 4. But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make ther, afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it. 5. For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the LORD Our God for ever and ever. 6. In that day, saith the LORD, will I assemble her that halteth, and I will gather her that is driven out, and her that I have afflicted; 7. And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth, even for ever. Zech. 8:20.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 18. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 21. He that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 27. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you : not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. - John 15:9. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you : continue ye in my love. 10. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; 11. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 15. I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth : but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. - John 17:12. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, 15. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 19. For their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. John 18:8. I have told you that I am he if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way: 9. That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none. John 19:26. When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son 27. Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother John 20:17. Go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. 27. Then saith he to Thomas, reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but be- lieving. John 21:15. Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these ? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord ; thou knowest that I love thee. 16. He saith to him again . . . Lovest thoume? . . . 17. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, SO7% of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me & And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. Acts 9:4. Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? 5. And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord Said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: Acts 10:38. Who went about doing good, º! healing all that were oppressed of the evil; Rom. 8:35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ 2 shall tribulation ; or dis- tress, or persecution, Or famine, Or naked- ness, or peril, or sword? 37. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38. Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, northings present, northings to come, 39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus Our Lord. Rom. 15:3. Even Christ pleased not him- Self; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. 2 Cor. 5:13. Whether we be beside Our- selves, it is to God: Or whether we be Sober, ăţ is for your cause. 14. For the love of Christ constraineth us: 2 Cor. 8:9. Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. Gal. 2:20. The life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Eph. 3:17. That ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18. May be able to com- prehend with all Saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height ; 19. And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, Eph. 5:2. Walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 25. Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 29. No man ever yet hated his own flesh ; but nour- isheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church : 30. For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 2 Thess. 2:13. But we are bound to give 692 JESUS, THE CHRIST-MEDIATION or thanks alway to God for you, brethren be- loved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to Salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and be- lief Of the truth : Heb. 2:11. Both he that Sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 18. In that he himself hath suf- fered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Pieb. 4:15. We have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of Our infirmities; but was in all points tempted liko as we are, yet without sin. 1 John 3:16. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: Rev. 1:5. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, Rev. 3:9. I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 19. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten : See COMPASSION OF, above. MEDIATION OF : Deut. 18:18. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth ; and he shall speak un- to them all that I shall command him. Psa. 110:4. The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the Order of Melchizedek. Isa. 53:10. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him ; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong /īās days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosperin his hand. 11. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their in- iquities. 12. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death ; and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. Dan. 9:17. Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his Sup- plications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Ilord's sake. 18. O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteous- ness, but for thy great mercies. 19. O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine Own Sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name. Zech. 1:12: Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy On Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years? 13. And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words. Zech. 6:13. He shall be a priest upon his throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between them both. Matt. 18:20. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Luke 22:31. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat : 32. But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not : Luke 23:33. And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, 34. Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them ; for they know not what they do. John 14:6. I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Fa- ther, but by me. 13. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14. If ye Shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 16. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; John 16:23. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 24. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. 26. At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: John 17:9. I pray . . . for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 11. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 20. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; QjS. 1–26. John 20:31. But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. Tom. 1:8. I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, Eph. 4:32. Rom. 5:1. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory Of God. - Rom. 6:23. The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Rom. 8:34. Who is he that condemneth ? It Čs Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Rom. 16:27. To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. 1 Cor. 6:11. But ye are washed, but ye are Sanctified, but ye are justified in the name Of he Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our GOd. 1 Cor. 15:57. But thanks be to God, which 693 JESUS. THE CHRIST.—MEDIATION OF. giveth us the victory through Our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Cor. 1:20. For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. Gal. 4:7. Wherefore thou art no more a Servant, but a ŚOn ; and if a Son, then an heir of God through Christ. Eph. 2:13. But now in Christ Jesus ye who Sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14. For he is Our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between ws; 15. Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace ; 16. And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17. And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Eph. 3:12. In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. Eph. 4:32. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Eph. 5:20. Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ ; Col. 3:17. Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. 1 Tim. 2:1. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, Supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 3. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 5. For there is One God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Heb. 2:17. In all things it behoved him to be made like unto / is brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make re- conciliation for the sins of the people. Heb. 3:1. Consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; 2. Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. Heb. 4:14. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast ontº profession. 15. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet with- out sin. Heb. 5:5. Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest : but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6. As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the Order Of Melchisedec. 10. Called Of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. Heb. 6:19. Within the veil; 20. Whither —i-— the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the Order Of Melchisedec. Heb. 7:21. Heb. 7:1. Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, . . . 3. With- out father, without mother, without de- Scent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. 19. For the law made nothing perfect, but the bring- ing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. 24. But this motº, because he continueth ever, hath an un- changeable priesthood. 25. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 26. For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sin- Iners, and made higher than the heavens; 27. Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. 28. For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity ; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, anaketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. Heb. 8:1. Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 2. A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 6. He obtained a more ex- cellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better Covenant, which was established upon better promises. Heb. 9:11. Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12. Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for als. 15. For this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first tes- tament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 24. Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the fig- ures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: vs. 11–28. See Rev. 8:3,4. Heb. 10:11. Every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the Same Sacrifices, which can never take away Sins: 12. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 19. Having there- fore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20. By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; 21. And having an high priest over the house of God; vs. 1–21. 694 JESUS, THE CHRIST.-MEEKNESS OF. Heb. 12:24. Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, º speaketh better things than that of Abel. & Heb. 13:15. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of out?' lips giving thanks to his name. 1 Pet. 2:5. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual Sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 1 John 2:1. If any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2. Alid he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for Our's Only, but also for the s???s of the whole world. 12. I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. Typified: Moses, Deut. 5:5; Gal. 3:19. Aaron, Num. 16:48. See INTERCESSION. MEEKNESS OF: Psa. 45:4. And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; Isa. 42:2. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. Isa. 50:5. The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. 6. I gave my back to the Smit- ers, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and Spitting. Isa. 52:13. Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. Isa. 537. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth : he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. Acts 8:32. Matt. 11:29. Tearn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: Matt. 12:19. He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. 20. A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. Matt. 21:5. Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass. Matt. 26:49. Forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. 50. And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come 2 51. And, behold, One of them which were with Jesus stretched Out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear. 52. Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the Sword. 53. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall pres- ently give me more than twelve legions of angels? 54. But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be 2 55. In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come Out as against a thief with swords and staves for totake me? Isat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold On me. 56. But all this was done, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled. 57. And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assem- bled. 58. But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and Sat with the servants, to see the end. 59. Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death : 60. But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses. 61. And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days. 62. And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing 2 what is it which these witness against thee? 63. But Jesus held his peace. Matt. 27:12. When he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered noth- ing. 13. Then said Pilate unto him, Hear- est thou not how many things they witness against thee ? 14. He answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. Mark 2:6. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, 7. Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only 7 8. And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? 9. Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? 10. But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) 1.1. I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. Tuke 22:27. I am among you as he that serveth. Tuke 23:34. Then said Jesus, Father, for- give them; for they know not what they do. John 8:48. The Jews . . . said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? 49. Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 50. And I seek not mine own glory: John 13:5. He poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel where with he was girded. 14. If I then, your Lord and master, have washed your feet; ye also Ought to wash one another's feet. 2 Cor. 10:1. Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, 695 JESUS, THE CHRIST-MEssiah, MEssIANIC PsALMs. Phil. 2:7, Made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a Servant, and was made in the likeness of men : 8. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Heb. 12:2. DOOking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith ; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3. For consider him that endureth such contradic- tion of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 1 Pet. 2:23. Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not ; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously : See HUMILITY OF, above; MEEKNESS. MESSIAH : MESSIANIC PSALMS : Psa, 2:1. Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2. The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3. Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 5. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. 6. Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 7. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. 10. Be wise now there- fore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 11. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. Psa. 16:7. I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. 8. I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 9. There- fore my heart is glad, and my glory re- joiceth : my flesh also shall rest in hope. 10. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 11. Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psa. 67:1. God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. 2. That thy way may be known upon earth, thy Saving health among all nations. 3. Let the people praise thee, O God: let all the people praise thee. 4. O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah. 5. Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee. 6. Then shall the earth yield her increase ; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. 7. God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him. Psa. 68:28. Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. 29. Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee. 30. Rebuke the Com- pany of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of sil- ver: scatter thou the people that delight in war. 31. Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God. 32. Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord ; 33. To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice. 34. Ascribe ye strength un- to God: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. 35. O God, thout art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God. Psa. 69:1. Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul. 2. I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me. 3. I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God. 4. They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty : then I restored that which I took not away. 5. O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. 6. Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake : let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. 7. Because for thy sake I have borne reproach ; shame hath covered my face. 8. I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children. 9. For the zeal of thinehouse hath eaten me up ; and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me. 10. When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. 11. I made Sackcloth also my garment; and I be- came a proverb to them. 12. They that sit in the gate speak against me ; and I was the song of the drunkards. 13. But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an ac- ceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy Sal- vation. 14. Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters. 15. Tet not the waterflood Overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. 16. Hear me, O LORD ; for thy lovingkindness 696 JESUS, THE CHRIST.—MESSIAH, MESSIANIC PSALMS. Žs good : turn unto me according to the mul- titude of thy tender mercies. 17. And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily. 18. Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me be- cause of mine enemies. 19. Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dis- honour : mine adversaries are all before thee. 20. Reproach hath broken my heart : and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none ; and for comforters, but I found none. 21. They gave me also gall for my meat ; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. 22. Let their table become a snare before them : and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. 23. Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not ; and make their loins continually to shake. 24. Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. 25. Let their habitation be desolate ; and let none dwell in their tents. 26. For they per- secute him whom thou hast smitten ; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. 27. Add iniquity unto their iniquity ; and let them not come into thy righteousness. 28. Det them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. 29. But I am poor and Sorrowful: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. 30. I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. 31. This also shall please the T.ORD better than an ox or bullock that hath horns and hoofs. 32. The humble shall see this, and be glad : and your heart shall live that Seek God. 33.

The Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. Luke 12:49. I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be al- ready kindled? 50. But I have a bap- tism to be baptized with ; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished 51. Sup- pose ye that I am come to give peace on earth 2 I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 52. For from henceforth there shall be five in One house divided, three against two, and two against three. 53. The father shall be divided against the Son, and the Son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. Luke 24:26. Ought not Christ to have suf- fered these things, and to enter into his glory? 46. And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suf- fer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 47. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. John 3:13. And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14. And as MOSes lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up : 15. That whoso- ever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16. For God SO loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17. For God sent not his Son into the world to con- demn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 4:25. The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ : when he is come, he will tell us all things. 34. Jesus Saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. John 6:51. I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever ; and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. John 9:39. And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which See not might See; and that they which See might be made blind. John 10:10. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy : I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 12:27. Now is my soul troubled ; and what shall I say ? Father, Save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. 46. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 47. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not : for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. John 18:37. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou Sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hear- eth my voice. Acts 5:31. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and for- giveness of sins. Acts 10:43. To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of SIIłS. Acts 26:23. That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. Rom. 4:25. Who was delivered for Our offences, and was raised again for our jus- tification. Rom. 5:6. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a 702 - JESUS, THE CHRIST.—NAMEs, APPELLATIONS, AND TITLES OF. good man some would even dare to die. 8. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Rom. 8:3. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh : 4. That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Rom. 10:4. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Bom. 14:9. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, alld revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 15. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. Rom. 15:8. Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: 9. And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. 2 Cor. 5:14. For the love of Christ Con- straineth us; because we thus judge, that if One died for all, then were all dead: 15. And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. Gal. 1:3. Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from Our Lord Jesus Christ, 4. Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and Our Father: Gal. 4:4. But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5. To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of Sons. Eph. 4:10. He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things. 1 Tim. 1:15. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners: Heb. 2:9. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 14. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil: 15. And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 18. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to Succour them that are tempted. Heb. 9:26. For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now Once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the Sacri- fice of himself. - 1 John 3:5. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 8. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might de- stroy the works of the devil. 1 John 4:10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. NAMES, APPELLATIONS, AND TITLES OF: Adam, 1 Cor. 15:45. Advocate, 1 John, 2:1.

Righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his l'é11)S. Isa. 42:21. The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. Isa. 50:5. The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back. 6. I gave my back to the Smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and Spitting. Matt. 3:15. And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now : for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Matt. 26:39. O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. 42. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. Mark 14:36; Luke 22:42. Luke 2:49. Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? John 4:34. Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. John 5:30. I can of mine own self do noth- ing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just ; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. 36. But I have greater witness than that of John : for the works which the Fa- ther hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. John 6:38. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 7:18. He that seeketh his glory that Sent him, the same is true, and no unright- eousness is in him. John 8:29. I do always those things that please him. 46. Which of you convinceth me of sin? 55. I know him, and keep his saying. John 3:4. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night Cometh, when no man can work. John 14:31. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even So I do. John 15:10. Even as I have kept my lººrs commandments, and abide in his OVe. John 17:4. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. John 19:30. When Jesus therefore had re- ceived the vinegar, he said, It is finished: º he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. Phil. 2:8. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obe- dient unto death, even the death of the CI’OSS. Heb. 5:8. Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered ; Heb. 10:7. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me) to do thy will, O God. 8. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, nei- ther hadst pleasure therein; which are of- fered by the law; 9. Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. OMNIPOTENCE OF: Psa. 45:3. Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. 4. And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness (/), d righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 5. Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; ºthereby the people fall under thee. Psa. 110:3. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, Isa. 9:6. The government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isa. 40:10. Behold, the Iord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him : behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. Isa. 50:2. Ismy hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem 2 or have I no power to de- liver ? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst, 3. I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their cov- ering. v. 4. Isa. 63:1. Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah 3 this that is glorious in his apparel, travel- ling in the greatness of his strength ? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to Save. Matt. 8:3. Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 16. And he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick : 27. The men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea, obey him Matt 10:1. When he had called unto him? his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them Out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. Mark 6:7; Luke 9:1. Matt. 12:13. Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth ; and it was restored whole, like as (45) 705 JESUS, THE CHRIST –OMNIPRESENCE OF-OMNISCIENCE OF. the other. 28. If I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. 29. Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. Mark 3:27; Luke 11:20–22. Matt. 28:18. Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Luke 5:17. The power of the T.Ord was present to heal them. John 2:19. Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. John 5:21. As the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them, ; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 28. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29. And shall come forth; John 10:17. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18. No man taketh it from me, but Ilay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. 28. I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. John 17:1. These words spake Jesus, and lifted lip his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2. As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. Phil. 3:20. For Our Conversation is in heaven ; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ : 21. Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, ac- cording to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. Col. 1:17. And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 2 Thess. 1:9. Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power ; 1 Tim. 6:16. To whom be honour and power everlasting. Heb. 1:3.

As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast Sent. 4. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. ...5. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 6. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world : thine they were, and thou gavest them me ; and they have kept thy word. 7. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 8. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9. I pray for them : I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 10. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. 11.

And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 18. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 19. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified 709 JESUS, THE CHRIST. PREXISTENCE OF. through the truth. 20. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; 21. That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them ; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast Sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 24. Rather, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am : that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 25. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee : but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. 26. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it : that the love where with thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. - Heb. 5:7.

I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning. Or ever the earth was. 24. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abound- ing with water. 25. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth : 26. While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. 27. When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: 28. When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: 29. When he gave to the sea his de- cree, that the waters should not pass his commandment : when he appointed the foundations of the earth: 30. Then I was by him, as one brought up with him ; and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always be- fore him; 31. Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. 32. Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. 33. Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. 34. Blessed *s the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. 35. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD. 36. But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own Soul: all they that hate me love death. John 1:1.

And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. Rom. 11:36. For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. 1 Cor: 8:6. But to us there is bºtt One God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him ; and One Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. Phil. 2:5. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6.. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: Col. 1:15. Who is the image of the in- visible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him : 17. And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Heb. 1:1. God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2. Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Heb. 2:9. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffer- ing of death, crowned with glory and honour: that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 14. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might 710.

And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Heb. 4:8. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. Rev. 4:11.

And Jesus answered and said, Verily I Say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, 30. But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to Čome eternal life. Luke 18:29,30. Luke 22:29. And I appoint unto you a Ringdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; 30. That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Luke 23:43. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. Luke 24:49. And, behold, I send the prom- ise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. John 5:25. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God : and they that hear shall live. 26. For as the Father hath life in himself ; SO hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27. And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 28. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29. And shall come forth ; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life ; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damna- tion. * John 6:54. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 57. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: So he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58. This is that bread which came down from heaven : not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for GVGI’. John 7:39. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should re- ceive : for the Holy Ghost was not yet gºve?; because that Jesus was not yet glo- rified.) John 12:25. He that loveth his life shall lose it : and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be : if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. John 14:16. I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 15:26. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Rather, even the Spirit of truth, which pro- ceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 27. And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the be- ginning. John 16:7. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you ; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9. Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10. Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11. Of judgment. 711 JESUS, THE CHRIST.—PROPHECIES CONCERNING, COMING OF. because the prince of this world is judged. 12. I have yet many things to Say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14. He shall glo- rify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15. All things that the Father hath are mine : therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew Øt unto you. 16. A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. 20. Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your Sorrow shall be turned into joy. 21. A wom- an when she is in travail hath Sorrow, be- cause her hour is come : but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 22. And ye now there- fore have sorrow : but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. 23. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, veri- ly, I Say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 24. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. 25. These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time Cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plain- ly of the Father. 26. At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: 33. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye Shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Acts 1:4. And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, satit/, he, ye have heard of me. 5. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 6. When they therefore were come to- gether, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the king- dom. to Israel ? 7. And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 8. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: Psa. 21:5. His glory is great in thy salva- tion: honour and majesty hast thou laid upon him. 6. For thou hast made him most blessed for ever: thou hast made him ex- ceeding glad with thy countenance. 7. For the king trusteth in the LORD, and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved. Psa. 40:6. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine earshast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not re- quired. 7. Then Said I, Lo, I come : in the volume of the book it is written of me, 8. I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. 9. I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. 10. I have not hid thy righteous- ness within my heart ; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. Psa. 68:18. Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; T’Sa. 118:22. The stone w/ºch the builders refused is become the head stone of the cor- ner. 23. This is the LORD's doing ; it is mar- Vellous in Our eyes. 24. This is the day w/ic/, the LORD hath made ; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 26. Blessed be he that Cometh in the name of the LORD : we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. Isa. 11:1. And there shall come forth a rod Out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: [Rom. 15:12.] 2. And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD ; 3. And shall make him of quick understand- ing in the fear of the LORD : and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: 4. But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 5. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. 6.

And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. 9. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain : for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the Sea. 10.

Behold my servant, whom I up- hold; mine elect, in whom my soul delight- eth : I have put my spirit upon him : he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. 2. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. 3. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the Smoking flax shall he not quench : he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. 4. He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law. Isa. 49:1. Listen, O isles, unto me: and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb : from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. 2. And he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword ; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made me a polished shaft ; in his quiver hath he hid me; 3. And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glori- fied. 4. Then Isaid, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God. 5. And now, Saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall Ibe glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength. 6. And he said, It is a light thing that thou should- est be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gen- tiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. 7. Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall See and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the IORD that is faithful, (tºd the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee. 8. Thus Saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of Salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a cov- enant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; 9. That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their paslures shall be in all high places. 10. They shall not hungernor thirst : neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them. 11. And I will make all my moun- tains a way, and my highways shall be ex- alted. 12. Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west ; and these from the land of Sinim. QjS. 13–26. Isa. 55:3. Incline your ear, and come un- to me : hear, and your soul shall live ; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. 4. Be- hold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the peo- ple. 5. Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee sixall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Is- rael; for he hath glorified thee. Isa. 56:1. Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice : for my salvation Žs near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. Isa. 59:16. And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no in- tercessor: therefore his arm brought Sal- vation unto him ; and his righteousness, it sustained him. 17. For he put on right- eousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke. 18. Accord- ing to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay rec- ompence. 20. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from trans- gression in Jacob, Saith the LORD. Isa. 62:10. Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people : cast up, cast up the highway; gather Out the stones; lift up a standard for the people. 11. Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Sayye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh ; be- hold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. Jer. 23:5. Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a right- eous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and 7J 3 JESUS, THE CHRIST-PROPHECIES CONCERNING, COMING OF. justice in the earth. 6. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel Shall dwell Safely : and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUS- NESS. Jer. 33:15. In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. 16. In those days shall Judah be Saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely : and this is the ava/ne where with she shall be called, The LORD Our righteousness. 17. For thus Saith the LORD ; David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel; 18. Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offer- ings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually. I)an. 7:13. I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the An- cient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should Serve him : his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be de- stroyed. Dan. 9:24. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniq- uity, and to bring in everlasting righteous- ness, and to Seal up the vision and proph- ecy, and to anoint the most Holy. 25. Know therefore and understand, that from the go- ing forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and three- Score and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 26. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary ; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. 27. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for One week : and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the Oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abomi- nations he shall make it desolate, even un- til the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Hag. 2:7. And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come : and I will fill this house with glory, saith the TORD Of hosts. Zech. 3:8. Hear now, O Joshua, the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at : for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. Zech. 9:9. Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem : be- hold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having Salvation; lowly, and riding up- on an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an a SS. Zech. 13:1. In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. Mal. 3:1. Behold, I will send my messen- ger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye Seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the mes- Senger of the covenant, whom ye delight in : behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. 2. But who may abide the day of his coming ? and who shall stand when he appeareth 8 for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' Sope: 3. And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Tevi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. Mal. 4:2. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. Matt. 1:20. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord ap- peared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou Son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is con- ceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, say- ing, 23. Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Luke 1:26. And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27. To a virgin eSpoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David ; and the virgin's name was Mary. 28. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, tho?! that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. 30. And the angel Said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest ; and the Tord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33. And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing Iknow not a man Ż 35. And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall over- 71.4 JESUS, THE CHRIST.—FUTURE GLORY AND PowHR OF. shadow thee : therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 36. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. 37. For with God nothing shall be impossible. 41. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the Salutation of Mary, the babeleaped in her womb ; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: 42. And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 43. And whence is this to me, that the Imother of my Lord should come to me $ 44. For, lo, as Soon as the voice of thy Salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45. And blessed Žs she that believed : for there shall be a per- formance of those things which were told her from the Lord. Iuke 2:26. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 31. Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; 32. A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Is- 1'ael. 34. And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the falling and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; 35. (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. 38. And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemp- tion in Jerusalem. John 8:56. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Acts 3:22. For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like un- to me ; him shall ye hear in all things what- SOever he shall Say unto you. 23. And it shall come to pass, that every Soul, which will not hearthat Prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. 24. Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. IRom. 1:2.

For the great day of his Wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand 3 Rev. 7:9. After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could num- ber, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Tamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10. And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sittethupon the throne, and unto the Lamb. 11. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12. Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and 715 JESUS, THE CHRIST –PROPHET-RECEIVED. wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. 13. And One of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they 14. And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest, And he said to me, These are they which came Out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and might in his temple: and he that sittieth On the throne shall dwell among them. 16. They shall hungernomore, neither thirst any more ; neither shall the Sun light on them, nor any heat. 17. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Rev. 11:15. The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of Our Lord, and of his Christ ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. Rev. 12:10.

I saw heaven opened, and be- hold a white horse; and he that Sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 15. Out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16. He hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Rev. 20:4. I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 6.

I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth ; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. Acts 3:22,23; 7:37. Matt. 21:11. And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. 46. But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet. Luke 7:16. They glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people. 39. Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, Say- ing, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him : for she is a sinner. Tuke 13:33. Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. Duke 24:19. And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concern- ing Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: John 3:2. Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. John 4:19. The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. John 6:14. Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, Said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. John 7:40. Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, Said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. John 9:17. They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes 2 He said, He is a rophet. - RECEIVED : Matt. 4:24.

When Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine : 29. For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. Mark 1:22; Luke 4:32. Matt. 9:8. When the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men. 27. Two blind men followed him, crying, and Saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us. 33. The multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never So Seen in Israel. Matt. 12:23. And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David 2 Matt. 13:2. Great multitudes were gathered together unto him, So that he went into a ship, and sat ; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. 54. And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they ere waston- ished, and said, Whence hath this many this wisdom, and these mighty works? Mark 4:1; 6:2. Matt. 14:33. Came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. Mark 6:51,52. Matt. 16:1. The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. 14. Some say that thout art John the Baptist; some, Elias; and others, Jere- mias, or one of the prophets. Matt. 12:38: Mark 8:11,28; Duke 9:19; 11:16. Matt. 21:8. A very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees and strawed them? in the way. 9. And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, Say- ing, Hosanna to the son of David : Blessed Žs he that cometh in the name of the Lord ; Hosanna in the highest. 10. And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this 2 (Mark 11:8–10; Tuke 19:36–38; John 12:12,13.] 11. And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee. 15. When the Chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased. Matt. 27:54. When the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. Mark 15:39; Luke 23:47. Mark 1:37. When they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee. 45. But he went out, and began to publish *t much, and to blaze abroad the matter, in- Somuch that Jesus could no more openly en- ter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to him from every Quarter. Mark 2:2. Many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not. So much as about the door : and he preached the word unto them. 12. They were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion. 15. As Jesus Sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. Mark 1:33. Mark 3:20. The multitude comethtogether again, SO that they could not so much as eat bread. 21. When his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they Said, He is beside himself. Mark 5:42. They were astonished with a great astonishment. Duke 8:56. Mark 6:33. The people saw them depart- ing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither Out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him. 55. And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was. 56. And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and beSought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his gar- ment: Matt. 14:13,35; Luke 9:11; John 6:2. Mark 7:37. And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak. Matt. 15:31. Mark 12:37. The common people heard him gladly. Luke 4:14. There went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 22. All bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, is not this Joseph's son ? 36. They were aii amazed, and spake among themselves, say: ing, What a word is this for with author. ity and power he commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. 37. And the fame of him went out into every place of the country round about. 42. The people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him, that he should not depart from them. Mark i.27. Luke 5:1. As the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, 17. And it came to pass on a certain day, as he was teaching, that there were Pharisees and doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusa- lem: 19. When they could not find by what apay they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling, with his couch, into the midst before Jesus. , 26. They were all amazed, and they glorified 717 JESUS, THE CHRIST. —RECEIVED---REDEEMER. God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things to day. Luke 6:17. He came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their dis- eases; 18. And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. 19. And the whole multitude Sought to touch him : for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. Luke 7:16. There came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people. 17. And this rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout all the region round about. 18. And the disciples of John shewed him of all these things. 29. All the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified º being baptized with the baptism of JOIll]. Luke 12:1. There were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, inso- much that they trode one upon another, Luke 13:17. All the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him. Luke 18:43. Immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God. Luke 19:37. When he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen : 47. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, 48. And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him. Mark 11:18. Luke 21:38. And all the people came early in the morning to him in the temple, for to hear him. John 8:2. Luke 23:27. There followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. John 2:11. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. 23. When he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. John 731. Many of the people believed on him, and Said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? 40. Many of the people there- fore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. 41. Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ Come out of Galilee? 42. Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Beth- lehem, where David was ? 43. So there was a division among the people because of him. 44. And some of them would have taken him ; but no man laid hands on him. 46. Never man spake like this man. John 8:30. As he spake these words, many believed on him. John 9:17. They say unto the blind man again, What Sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet. 24. Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. 25. He answered and Said, Whether he be a sinner or ºvo, I know not : One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I See, 29. We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is. 30. Ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. 33. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. John 10:41. Many resorted unto him, and Said, John did no miracle: but all things that John Spake of this man were true. 42. And many believed on him there. John 11:37. Some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died ? 45. Many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. 46. But some of them went their ways to the Phari- Sees, and told them what things Jesus had done. 47. Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we ? for this man doeth many miracles. 48. If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: a' John 12:9. Much people of the Jews there- fore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. 11. Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus. 18. For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this miracle. 19. The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? be- hold, the world is gone after him. 20. There were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast: 21. The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Beth- Saida of Galilee, and desired him, Saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. 34. We have heard Out of the law that Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted up? who is this Son of man 2 42. Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him ; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: INSTANCES OF: By Matthew, Matt. 9:9,10.

And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a Snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Isa. 49:4. I have laboured in vain, I have Spent my strength for nought, and in vain : Isa. 50:1. Thus saith the LORD, Where is the bill of your mother's divorcement, whom I have put away ? Or which of my creditors Žs it to whom I have sold you? Behold, for your iniquities have ye sold yourselves, and for your transgressions is your mother put away. 2. Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem ? Or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilder- ness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst. 3. I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering. 4. The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned. 5. The Lord GOD hath opened mine ear, and I was not re- bellious, neither turned away back. 6. I gave my back to the Smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting. 7. For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: therefore have I Set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. 8. He is near that justifi- eth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who is mine adversary 2 let him come near to me. 9. Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall con- demn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up. 10.

Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in Sorrow. Isa. 53:1. Who hath believed our report 2 and to whom is the arm of the IORD re- vealed? 2. For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sor- rows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him ; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4. We did esteem him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. Matt. 7:26. Every one that heareth these Sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the Sand: 27. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the Winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Luke 6:46–49. - Matt. 8:12. The children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 34. And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts. Mark 5:17; Luke 8:37. Matt. 10:14. Whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom. and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. 33. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Matt. 11:16. Whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fel- lows, 17. And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not la- mented. 18. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. 19. The Son of man came eating and drink- ing, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. Luke 7:31–35. Matt. 12:38. Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Mas- ter, we would see a sign from thee. 39. But he answered and Said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas: 40. For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly ; SO shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 42. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. 43. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, Seek- ing rest, and findeth, none. 44. Then he saith, I will return into my house from 719 JESUS, TIII. CIIRIST... REJECTED, whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, Swept, and garnished. 45. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than him- self, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even SO shall it be also unto this wicked generation. Matt. 13:13. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing, See not ; and hearing they hear not, neither do they un- derstand. 58. He did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. vs. 3–14; Isa. 6:9,10. Matt. 17:17. Jesus answered and Said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer Ou ? Matt. 21:32. John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not ; but the publicans and the harlots be- lieved him : and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might be- lieve him. 38. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir ; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance. 39. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vine- yard, and slew him. 40. When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen? 41. They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vine- yard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons. 42. Jesus Saith unto them, Did ye never read in the Scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43. There- fore Say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken : but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. 45. And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. Mark 12:1-12; Luke 20:9–18. Matt. 26:31. Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will Smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be Scattered abroad. 32. But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. 33. Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, get will I never be offended. 34. Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 35. Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples. 69. Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. 70. But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou Sayest, 71. And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth. 72. And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man. 73. And after a while came unto him they that stoºd by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee. 74. Then began he to curse and to Swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the COck Crew. 75. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly. Mark 14:27–31, 66–72; Luke 22:31–34, 54–62; John 18:15–27. Mark 6:3. Is not this the carpenter, the Son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon ? and are not his sistershere with us? And they were offended at him. 4. But Jesus Said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. 5. And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6. And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went roundabout the villages, teach- ling. Mark 16:16. He that believeth not shall be damned. Luke 7:30. But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against them- Selves, being not baptized of him. 34. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye Say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sin- Ther's Luke 10:16. He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me ; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. Luke 11:23. He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me Scattereth. 24. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, Seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. 25. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. 26. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there : and the last State of that man is worse than the first. Luke 13:34. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are Sent unto thee; how Often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gat/her her brood under her wings, and ye would not Luke 14:16. Then said he unto him, A cer- tain man made a great Supper, and bade many : 17. And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. 18. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a 720 JESUS, THE CHRIST, REJECTED. piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it : I pray thee have me excused. 19. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them : I pray thee have me excused. 20. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. 21. So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 22. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is roomii. 23. And the lord said unto the servant, Go Out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 24. For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. Matt. 22:2--13. Luke 17:25. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. Luke 19:42. If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace 1 but now they are hid from thine eyes. Luke 22:67. Art thou the Christ º tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe : Luke 24:25. O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: vs. 11,15–25,37–39. John 1:11. He came unto his own, and his Own received him not. John 3:11. We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen ; and ye re- ceive not our witness. 12. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you of heavenly things? 18. He that believeth not is con- demned already, because he hath not be- lieved in the name of the Only begotten Son of God. 19. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 32. And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth ; and no man receiveth his testimony. John 5:38. And ye have not his word abid- ing in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 40. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. 43. I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not : if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. John 6:36. Ye also have seen me, and be- lieve not. 60. Many therefore of his disci- ples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hearit?, 61. When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? 62. What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before ? 63. It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 64. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the be- ginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. 65. And he Said, Therefore Said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 66. From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away ? 68. Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go 7 thou hast the words of eternal life. - John 7:3. His brethren therefore Said unto him, Depart, hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. 4. For there is no man that do- eth any thing in Secret, and he himself Seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. 5. For neither did his brethren believe in him. 12. There was much murmuring among the people concerning him : for Some said, He is a good man: OtherS Said, Nay; but he de- ceiveth the people. 13. Howbeit no man Spake openly of him for fear of the Jews. 15. The Jews marvelled, saying, How know- eth this man letters, having never learned ? 25. Then Said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? 26. But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. To the rulers know in- deed that this is the very Christ 2 27. How- beit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. John 8:13. The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. 21. Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my Way, and ye shall Seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. 22. Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. 24. If ye be- lieve not that I am /e, ye shall die in your sins. 30. As he spake these words, many believed on him. [with vs. 25–29.] 45. Be- cause I tell yout the truth, ye believe menot. 46. If I Say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47. He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God, 53. Art thou greater than Our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? John 9:16. Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others Said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them. 17. They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet. 24. Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. John 10:20. Many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him 21. Others Said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open (46) 721 J ESUS, THE CHRIST. R.F.I.ATION OF, TO THE FATHER. the eyes of the blind Ž 24. Then came the Jews round about him, and Said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt 2 If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 33. For a good work we stone thee not ; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. John 11:46. But Some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. 47. Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a coun- cil, and said, What do we? for this man do- eth many miracles. 48. If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him : John 12:37. But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they be- lieved not on him: 48. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last dav. }.ohn 15:18. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 20. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also per- secute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep your's also. 24. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both Seen and hated both me and my Father. Acts 13:46. Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and Said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you; but Seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gen- tiles. - Acts 18:5. And when Silas and Timo- theus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. 6. And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am, clean : from henceforth I will go unto the Gentiles. Acts 22:18. They will not receive thy tes- timony concerning me. Acts 28:24. And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not. 25. And when they agreed not among them- selves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fa- thers, 27. For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hear- ing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. Rom. 3:3. For what if Some did not be- lieve? shall their unbelief make the faith of GOd without effect 3 Rom. 9:31. Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but asit were by the works of the law. Rom. 10:16. They have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias Saith, Lord, who hath believed our report & 21. But to Israel he Saith, All day long I have stretched forth my halids unto a disobedient and gainsay- ing people. 1 Cor. 1:18. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but unto us which are Saved it is the power of God. 23. But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 2 Tim. 2:12. If we suffer, we shall also reign with him : if we deny him, he also will deny us: Heb. 6:6. If they shall fall away, to re- new them again unto repentance; seein they crucify to themselves the Son of Go afresh, and put him to an open shame. Heb. 10:29. Of how much Sorer punish- ment, Suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, where with he was Sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace 3 - 1 Pet. 2:4. A living stone, disallowed in- deed of men, but chosen of God, and pre- cious, 7. Unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the Same is Inade the head of the corner, 8. And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient : whereunto also they were appointed. 2 Pet. 2:1. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even de- nying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 1 John 2:22. Who is a liar but he that de- nieth that Jesus is the Christ 2 He is anti- Christ, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: - 2 John 1:7. For many deceivers are en- tered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Jude 4. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old Ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of Our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. RELATION OF, TO THE FATHER: Psa. 110:1. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine ene- mies thy footstool. Isa. 42:1. Behold my servant, whom I up- hold; mine elect, in whom my soul delight- eth ; I have put my spirit upon him: Tsa. 49:5. And now, Saith the TORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, 722 JESUS, THE CHRIST.—RELATION OF. To THE FATHER. to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength. 6. And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. Isa. 61:1. The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken- hearted, Mic. 5:4. He shall stand and focd in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the . of the LORD his God; and they shall 8,OICl62 : Matt. 20:23. And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be bap- tized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be give? to them for whom it is prepared of my Father. Matt. 26:39. And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt. Mark 10:40. But to sit on my right hand and on my left hand is not mine to give; but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared. Mark 13:32. But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which i. in heaven, neither the Son, but the Fa- ther. John 1:1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2. The same was in the beginning with GOd. 14. And the WOrd was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 3:34. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure ºnto him. 35. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. John 4:34. Jesus Saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. John 5:19. Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he Seeth the Father do: for what things so- ever he doeth, these also doeth the Son like- wise. 20. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself do- eth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. 21. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and Quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will, 22. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son : 23. That all ºne?, should hon- our the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 24. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that Sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not Come into Condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 25. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26. For as the Father hath life in himself; SO hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27. And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, bocause he is the Son of man. 28. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29. And Shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. 30. I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judg- ment is just ; because I seek not mine own will, but the will Of the Father which hath sent me. 31. If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 37. And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor Seen his shape. 45. Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. John 6:32. Then Jesus said unto them, Ver- ily, verily, I Say unto you, MOSes gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. 33. Eor the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 38. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which Seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 44. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him : and I will raise him up at the last day. 45. It is writ- ten in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, Cometh unto me. 46. Not that any man hath seen the Father, Save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. John 7:16. Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 28. Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am : and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. 29. But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me. 33. Then said Jesus unto them. Yet a little while am I with you, and them. Igounto him that sent me. John 8:16. And yet if I judge, my judg- 723 JESUS, TIII. CHRIST –RELATION OF, TO THE FATHER. **------------' - -- ** ment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 19. Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father ? Jesus an- swered, Ye neither know me, nor my Fa- ther: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. 28. Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am /e, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, Ispeak these things. 29. And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do al- ways those things that please him. 38. I speak that which I have seen with my Fa- her: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 40. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God : this did not Abraham. 42. Jesus Said unto them, if God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 49. Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 54. Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my hon- our is nothing: it is my Father that honour- eth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: 55. Yet ye have not known him ; but I know him : and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you; but I know him, and keep his saying. John 9:4. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day : the night Cometh, when no man Can work. John 10:15. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 18. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. 25. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not : the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. 29. My Fa- ther, which gave them me, is greater than all ; and no mºtºv is able to pluck they out of my Father's hand. 30. I and my Father are one. 32. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33. The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not : but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 36. Say ye of him, whom the Father hath Sanctified, and sent into the world, Tholl blasphemest : because I said, I am the Son of God? 37. If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works; that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. - John 11:41. Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Fa- ther, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42. And I knew that thou hearest me al- ways: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast Sent me. John 12:44. Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but On him that sent me. 49. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which Sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting; whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. John 14:7. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also : and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 9. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip 3 he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how Sayest thou then, Shew us the Father ? 10. Believest thou not that I aim in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. 12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that be- lieveth on me, the works that I do shall he do also ; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. 20. At that day ye shall know that I dºn in my Fa- ther, and ye in me, and T in you. 24. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. 28. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 31. But that the world may know that I love the Father: and as the Father gave me commmandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence. John 15:9. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you : continue ye in my love. 10. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love ; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 15. Henceforth I callyou not servants: for the Servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 23. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 24. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. 26. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 724 JESUS, THE CHRIST.—RELATION OF. To THE FATHER. John 16:5. But now I go my way to him that Sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? 10. Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 15. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 23. And in that day ye shall ask me noth- ing. Verily, verily, I Say unto you, What- SOever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 25. These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. 27. Tor the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came Out from God. 28. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world; again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 32. Be- hold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his Own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. John 17:1. These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Fa- ther, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2. As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4. Ihave glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. 5. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. 6. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thougavest them me; and they have kept thy word. 7. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. 8. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that Icame out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. 9. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. 10. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and Iam glorified in them. 11. And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. 12. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thougavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. 13. And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou should- est keep them from the evil. 16. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. , 17. Sanctify them through thy truth : thy word is truth. 18. As thou hast Sent me into the world, even so have I also Sent them into the world. 19. And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. 20. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believé on me through their word; 21. That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the World may believe that thou hast sent me. 22. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them ; that they may be one, even as we are one : 23. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in One; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. 24. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am ; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. 25. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. 26. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it : that the love where with thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. Acts 2:33. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now See and hear. 36. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that Same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Dord and Christ. Acts 10:38. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. Acts 13:37. He, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. Rom. 1:4. Declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holi- ness, by the resurrection from the dead : Rom. 8:32. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, 1 Cor. 1:30. Of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and Sanctification, and re- demption: 1 Cor. 3:23. And yeare Christ's; and Christ Żs God's. 1 COr. 11:3. The head of Christ is God. 1 Cor. 15:24. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 27. For he hath put all things un- der his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is 725 JESUS, THE CHRIST – RESURRECTION OF. excepted, which did put all things under him. 28. And when all things shall be sub- dued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. 2 Cor. 4:4. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which be- lieve not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 6. For God, who com- manded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Eph. 1:17. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him : 20. Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set / ???? at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21. Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world; but also in that which is to come : 22. And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Phil. 2:6. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 11. And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Col. 1:15. Who is the image of the invisi- ble God, the firstborn of every creature: 19. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 1 Thess. 5:18. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will Of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Heb. 1:2. Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high : Heb. 2:9. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffer- ing of death, crowned with glory and hon- our ; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Heb. 3:2. Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house. Heb. 5:5. So also Christ glorified not him- self to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6. As he saith also in another place, Thou (tºt a priest for ever after the Order Of Melchisedec. 7. Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and Supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8. Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9. And being made per- fect, he became the author of etermal salva- tion unto all them that Obey him; 10. Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. 1 Pet. 1:21. Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory ; that your faith and hope might be in God. 1 Pet. 2:4. To whom coming, as 7/7, to a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 23. Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again : when he suffered, he threatened not ; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 2 Pet. 1:17. For he received from God the Pather honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 1 John 4:9. In this was manifested the love Of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10. Here- in is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the pro- pitiation for Our sins. 14. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. - Rev. 2:27. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I re- ceived of my Father. Rev. 3:12. Him that Overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write *pon him my new name. 21. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. g. DIVINITY OF, HUMANITY OF, SON OF OD. RESURRECTION OF : Psal. 2:7. The IORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Acts 13:33. Psa. 16:9. My flesh also shall rest in hope. 10. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to See corruption. Isa. 26:19. Matt. 12:40. As Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Matt. 16:4. A wicked and adulterous gen- eration Seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. 21. From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, . . . and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Matt. 17:23; Luke 9:22,31; 24.7. Matt. 20:19. Shall deliver him to the Gen 72 6 JESUS, THE CHRIST, RESURRECTION OF. tiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify hºr : and the third day he shall rise again. Mark 10:34. Matt. 26:32. But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee. Mark 14:28. Matt. 27:52. And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the Saints which slept arose, 53. And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 63. Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. Mark 8:31. - Matt. 28:6. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the TIOrd lay. 7. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him : lo, I have told you. Mark 16:6,7; Luke 24:5–7; John 20:1-18. Mark 9:9. And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead. 10. And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with another what the rising from the dead should mean. Luke 18:33. And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. Tuke 24:46. Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: John 2:19. Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. 21. He spake of the tem- ple of his body. v. 22; Mark 14:58. John 12:23. The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. John 16:16. A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. 22. And ye now therefore have sorrow : but I will see you again, and your heart shall re- joice, and your joy no man taketh from you. Acts 1:3. To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of fibe things pertaining to the kingdom of God: 22. Must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection. Acts 2:24. Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. 31. He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corrup- tion. 32. This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Psa. 16:9,10. Acts 3:15. And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. Acts 4:10. Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye cruci. fied, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole, 33. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Acts 5:30. The God Of Our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. 31. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. 32. And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. Acts 10:40. Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; 41. Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen be- fore of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead. Acts 13:30. God raised him from the dead: 31. And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Je- rusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people. 32. And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers, 33. God hath ful- filled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. 34. And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, 77 ow no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David. Psa. 2:7. Acts 17:2. And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures, 3. Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach, unto you, is Christ. 31. He will judge the world in righteous- ness by that man whom he hath ordained: 7thereof he hath given assurance unto all ğ in that he hath raised him from the Gºl,Ol. Acts 26:23. That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, v. 26. Tom. 1:4. Declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holi- ness, by the resurrection from the dead: Rom. 4:24. But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25. Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for Our justification. Rom. 5:10. If, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Rom. 6:4. Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, 5. If we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 9. Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion Over him. 10. For in that he died, he died unto sin Once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Rom. 8:11. But if the Spirit of him that 727 JESUS, THE CHRIST-REVELATIONs By–RIGHTEOUSNESS OF-SALVATION BY. raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 34. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, Rom. 10:9. If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be Saved. 1 Cor. 6:14. God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. 1 Cor. 15:3. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; 4. That he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures: 20. Now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. 21. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23. But every man in his own order: Christ the first- fruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. vs. 5–8, 12–20. 2 Cor. 4:10. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made mani- fest in our mortal flesh. 14. Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present */s with you. 2 Cor. 5:15. And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 2 Cor. 13:4. Though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. Gal. 1:1. Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead :) Eph. 1:20. Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised. him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly p/aces, Phil. 3:10. That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, Col. 1:18. The firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Col. 2:12. Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 1 TheSS. 1:10. And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to COTY)0. 1 Thess. 4:14. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 2 Tim. 2:8. Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: Heb. 13:20. The God of peace, that brought again from the dead Our T.Ord Jesus, 1 Pet. 1:3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 21. Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; - 1 Pet. 3:18. For Christ also hath. Once Suf- fered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 21. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us . . . by the resurrection of Jesus Christ : Rev. 1:5. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, 18. I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for ever- more, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. See RESURRECTION.

I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles; 7. To open the blind eyes, to bring out the pris- oners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. - Isa. 49:6. It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my Sal- vation unto the end of the earth. 8. Thus saith the TORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of Salvation have I helped thee; and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages; 9. That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth ; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. Acts 13:47. Isa. 50:2.

Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall con- demn me ! Isa. 53:10. It pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant jus- tify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Isa. 59:16. He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him ; and his righteousness, it sustained him. 17. For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of Salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke. 20. The Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, Saith the LORD. Isa. 61:1. The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenheart- ed, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound ; 2. To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of Our God; to comfort all that mourn ; 3. To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the TORD, that he might be glorified. Isa. 62:11. The LORD hath proclaimed un- to the end of the world, Sayye to the daugh- ter of Zion, Behold, thy Salvation cometh ; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. Isa. 63:1.

He said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie; SO he was their Saviour. 9. In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them : in his love and in his pity he redeemed them ; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. Jer. 23:5. Behold, the days come, Saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, 729 JESUS, THE CHRIST.—SAVIOUR. and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. 6.

How think ye 2 if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the moun- tains, and Seeketh that which is gone astray ? 13. And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. Luke 15:1–6. Luke 1:68. Blessed be the Lord God of Is- rael; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 69. And hath raised up an horn of Salvation for us in the house of his servant David ; 70. As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began : 71. That we should be Saved from Our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 72. To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to re- member his holy Covenant : 73. The Oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74. That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered Out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, 75. In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of Our life. 76. And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Tord to prepare his ways; 77. To give knowledge of Salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, - Luke 2:11. Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. , 30. Mine eyes have seen thy sal- vation, 31. Which thou hast prepared be- fore, the face of all people; 32. A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. 34. And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Be- hold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against : Luke 5:31. Jesus . . . Said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. 32. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Matt. 9:12,13. Luke 9:56.

God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believethin him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17. God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world ; but that the world through him might be saved. John 4:14. Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst ; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. 42. And Said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world. John 5:26. As the Father hath life in him- Self; SO hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 33. Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. 34. But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I Say, that ye might be saved. 40. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. John 6:27. Tabour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you : for him hath God the Father sealed. 32. My Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. 33. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 35. I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believ- eth on me shall never thirst. 37. Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast Out. 39. And this is the Father's will which hath Sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 51. I am the living bread which came down from heav- en ; if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 53. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. 55. For my flesh is meat 730 JESUS, THE CHRIST, SAVIOUR. indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth Of this bread Shall live for ever. 68. Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go Ż thou hast the words of eternal life. John 7:37. In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If ally IIlail thirs, let him come unto me and drink. 38. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that be- lieve on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Je- sus was not yet glorified.) John 8:12. I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in dark- ness, but shall have the light of life. John 9:5. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. 39. For judg- ment I am come into this world, that they which see not might See; John 10:7. I am the door of the sheep. 9. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and Out, and find pasture. 10. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 11. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 14, I am the good Shep- herd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and One shepherd. 27. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: . 28. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. John 11:25. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live : 26. And whosoever liveth and be- lieveth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 27. She saith unto him, Yea, Lord : I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the WOrld. John 12:47. I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. John 14:6. I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 19. Because I live, ye shall live also. John 16:33. Be of good cheer, I have over- Come the world. Johm 17:2. As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give etermal © life to as many as thou hast given him. 3. This is life eternal, that they might know thee the Only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. Acts 3:26. God, having raised up his Son Jesus, Sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities. Acts 4:12. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 5:31. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and for- giveness of sins. - - Acts 13:23. Of this man's seed hath God according to his promise raised unto Israela Saviour, Jesus: 38. Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgive- ness of sins: 39. And by him all that be- lieve are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of MOSes. - Acts 15:11. We believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be Saved, Acts 16:31. Believe on the Tord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Rom. 3:24. Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25. Whom GOd hath Set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26. To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. ROm. 4:25. Who was delivered for Our Of- fences, and was raised again for Our justi- fication. Pom. 5:1. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our IOrd Jesus Christ : 6. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 8. But God com- mendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from Wrath through him. 10. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Ilord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. - 15. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 17. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life 731 JESUS, THF CHRIST –SAviour. by one, Jesus Christ. 18. By the righteous- ness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sin- ners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 21. As sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ Our Lord. Bom. 6:23. The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 8:2. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Rom. 10:9. If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 11. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Rom. 15:7. Christ also received us to the glory of God. 8. Jesus Christ was a min- ister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: 9. And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; 1 Cor. 1:30. Of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and Sanctification, and re- demption : 1 Cor. 3:11. Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 6:11. Ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name Of he Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our GOd. 1 Cor. 10:3. And did all eat the same spir- itual meat; 4. And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spir- itual Rock that followed them : and that Bock was Christ. 1 Cor. 15:17. If Christ be not raised, your faith is vain: ye are yet in your sins. 57. Thanks be to God, which giveth us the vic- tory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Cor. 5:18. All things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto him- self, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 21. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin: that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Gal. 1:3. Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4. Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and Our Father : Gal. 2:20. I am Crucified with Christ : nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal. 4:7. Thou art no more a Servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Eph. 1:10. That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him : 11. In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, Eph. 2:7. That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 13. But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometime were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14. For he is our peace, who hath made both One, and hath broken down the middle wall of par- tition between us; 15. Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of com- mandments contained in Ordinances; for to make in himself of twain. One new man, so making peace; 16. And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby : 17. And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 20. And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief Corner stone ; Eph. 4:8. When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto Iłł62il. Eph. 5:2. Walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet- smelling savour. 14. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 23. Christ is the head of the church : and he is the saviour of the body. 25. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26. That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, Phil. 3:20. For Our Conversation is in heav- en ; from whence also we look for the Sav- iour, the Lord Jesus Christ : Col. 1:12. Giving thanks unto the Father, . . . 13. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated 7/s into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14. In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 27. Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28. Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Col. 2:8. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy, ... and not after Christ. 10. Ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: Col. 3:3. Ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4. When Christ, who äs our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 11. Christ is all, and in all, 732 JESUS, TIIE CHRIST.—SAviour. 1 TheSS. 1:10. And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. 1 TheSS. 5:9. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain Salvation by our TOrd Jesus Christ, 10. Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 2 TheSS. 1:12. That the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our 3od and the Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Tim. 1:1. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Tord Jesus Christ, which is our hope; 15. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; 2 Tim. 1:1. According to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, 9. Who hath Saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to Our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10. But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gos- pel: 12. I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 2 Tim. 2:10. Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also ob- tain the Salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 2 Tim. 3:15. And that from a child thou hast known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto Salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. Tit. 1:4. To Titus, mºve own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ Our Saviour. Tit. 2:13. Tooking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and Our Saviour Jesus Christ ; 14. Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto him- Self a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Heb. 2:3. How shall we escape, if we neg- lect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was Confirmed unto us by them that heard him ; 17. In all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. Heb. 5:9. Being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; Heb. 7:22. By so much was Jesus made a Surety of a better testament. 25. He is able also to Save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. * & Heb. 13:10. We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. 20. The God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, ºsh the blood of the everlasting cove- llant, 1 Pet. 1:3. Blessed be the God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrec- tion of Jesus Christ from the dead, 18. Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation re- ceived by tradition from your fathers; 19. But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 1. Pet. 2:4. To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual Sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6. Wherefore also it is contained in the scrip- ture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner Stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth On him shall not be confounded. 7. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: . . . the Stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 25. Ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your Souls. 1 Pet. 3:18. For Christ also hath. Once suf- fered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 21. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the put- ting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 1 Pet. 5.10. The God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, 2 Pet. 1:3. His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 11. For So an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of Our Tord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Pet. 2:20. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 1 John 3:5. Ye know that he was mani- fested to take away our sins; 8. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 4:9. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, '733 JFSITS, THE CHRIST.-SECOND COMING OF. that we might live through him. 10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propiti- ation for our sins. 14. We have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour Of the world. 1 John 5:11. This is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13. These things have I Writ- ten unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe On the name of the Son of God. 20. We know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Jude 1. To them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus. Christ, Rev. 2:7. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. Rev. 3:18. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy naked- ness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest See. Rev. 5:5. And One of the elders Saith unto me, Weep not : behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the Seven seals thereof. 6. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Tamb as it had been slain, having Seven horns and seven eyes, which are the Seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7. And he came and took the book Out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. S. And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of Saints. 9. And they Sung a new Song, Say- ing, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10. And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne, and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thou- sands of thousands; 12. Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wis- dom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. 13. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the Sea, and all that are in them, heard I Saying, Bless- ing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. 14. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever. Rev. 7:10. Salvation to Our God which sit- teth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. Bev. 14:4. These are they which follow the Tamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and to the Tamb. Rev. 21:27. There shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, . . . but they which are written in the Tamb's book of life. Rev. 22:1. He shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding Out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2. In the midst of the Street of it, and On either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. - See DEATH OF, ITS DESIGN, above; FAITH IN.

And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Matt. 16:27. The Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. 28. There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they See the Son of man coming in his kingdom. Mark 9:1; Luke 9:27. Matt. 23:39. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall Say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the LOrd. Matt. 24:3. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him pri- vately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 27. As the lightning cometh out of the east, and Shineth even unto the west ; SO shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 30. Then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the Other. 37. As the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38. As in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39. And knew not 734 JESUS, THE CHRIST.-SECOND COMING OF. until the flood came, and took them all away ; SO shall also the coming of the Son of man be. f 42. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43. If the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44. Therefore be ye also ready : for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. vs. 1–51; Mark 13:1–37; Luke 21:5–35; 17:22–37; 12:40. Matt. 25:6. At midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. {0. While they went to buy, the bridegroom came ; and they that were ready went in with him to the mar- riage: and the door was shut. 13. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. 19. After a long time the lord of those serv- ants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 31. When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the thronſ of his glory: vs. 1–13,31–46. -- Matt. 26:64. Hereafter shall ye ce the Son of man sitting on the right h" d of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Mark 13:27. Then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. 32. But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 35. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, Or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36. Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. Matt. 24:36. Mark 14:62. Ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Iuke 9:26. Whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels. Mark 8:38. Duke 12:37. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit downto meat, and will come forth and serve them. 38. And if he shall come in the Second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. 39. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suf- fered his house to be broken through. 40. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. Luke 17:30. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. Luke 18:8. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith. On the earth? Luke 19:12. A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a king- dom, and to return. 13. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and Said unto them, Occupy till I come. 15. And it came to pass, that when he was re- turned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, Luke 21:27. Then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28. And when these things be- gin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draw- eth nigh. 29. And he spake to them a para- ble; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; 30. When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand. 31. So likewise ye, when ye See these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. 32. Verily I Say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled. 33. Heaven and earth shall pass away; but my words shall not pass away. 34. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35. For as a Snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. John 14:3. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 18. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 28. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father : for my Father is greater than I. 29. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. Acts 1:11. This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven. Acts 3:20. He shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you : 21. Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. 1 Cor. 1:7. So that ye come behind in no gift ; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ : 8. Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 4:5. Judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: 1 Cor. 11:26.

To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. 1 Thess. 4:15. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. scend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first : 17. Then we which are alive (1776/ re- main shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air : and SO shall we ever be with the Lord. 1 Thess. 5:2. Yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comethas a thief in the night. 3. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then Sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 23. I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the com- ing of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Thess. 1:7. To you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be re- vealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8. In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9. Who shall be punished with everlasting destruc- tion from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10. When he shall come to be glorified in his Saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (be- cause our testimony among you was be- lieved) in that day. 2 Thess. 2:1. We beseech you, brethren, by the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2. That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day, of Christ is at hand. 3. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not 16. For the Tord himself shall de- come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition ; 5.

The Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. - 1 Tim. 6:14. Keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the ap- pearing of Our Lord Jesus Christ : 15. Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords: 2 Tim. 4:1. I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appear- ing and his kingdom ; 8. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. Tit. 2:13. Dooking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and Our Saviour Jesus Christ ; Heb. 9:28. So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many ; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto Salvation. Jas. 5:7. Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8. Be ye also patient ; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 9. Behold, the judge standeth before the door. 1 Pet. 1:7. That the trial of your faith . . . might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 13. Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ ; 1 Pet. 4:13. But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 1 Pet. 5:4. When the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 2 Pet. 1:16.

I will declare the decree : the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Psa. 89:26. He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. 27. Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. Matt. 3:17. Lo a voice from heaven, Say- ing, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Mark 1:11; Luke 3:22. Matt. 4:3. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 6. And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee; and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Matt. 10:40. He that receiveth me receiv- eth him that sent me. Matt. 11:27. All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, Save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal / ????. Luke 10:22. Matt. 14:33. Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of GOd. Matt. 15:13. Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. - Matt. 16:15. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16. And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona : for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. Matt. 17:5. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them : and be- hold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. Mark 9:7; Luke 9:35; 2 Pet. 1:17. Matt. 18:10. Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always be- hold the face of my Father which is in heaven. 19. Again I Say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. Matt. 20:23. To sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is Irepared of my Father. Matt. 21:37. But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son. Luke 20:13. Matt. 26:53. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall pres- ently give me more than twelve legions of angels? 63. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God. 64. Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: neverthe- less I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Matt. 27:43. He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him : for he said, I am the Son of God. 54. Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the SOn Of GOd. Mark 1:1. The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; Mark 3:11. And unclean spirits, when (47) 737 JESUS, THE CHRIST.-SON OF GOD. they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God. , N. Mark 5:7. And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thout Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. Luke 8:28. Mark 14:61. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed ? 62. And Jesus said, I am : and ye shall see the Son of man sit- ting on the right hand of power, and com- ing in the clouds of heaven. Mark 15:39. And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried Out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God. Luke 1:32. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest ; and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 35. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the High- est shall Overshadow thee : therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. Duke 4:3. And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 9. And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pin- nacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence : 41. And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suf- fered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. Luke 9:35. And there came a voice Out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him. Luke 10:22.

I appoint unto you al-ingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; 70. Then said they all, Art thou then the Son of * God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am. Mark 14:61. - John 1:1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2. The same was in the be- ginning with God. 14. The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 18. No man hath seen God at any time; the Only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. 34. I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. 49. Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the Ring of Israel. 50. Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. John 3:16. For God SO loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17. For God sent not his Son into the world to con- demn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18. He that believeth On him is not condemned: but he that be- lieveth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 34. He whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure ºnto him. 35. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 36. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life ; but the wrath of God abideth On him. John 5:19. The Son can do nothing of him- self, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things Soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. 20. The Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth : and he will shew him greater works than these, 21. As the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them ; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 23. All men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 26. As the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 27. And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 30. I can of mine Own Self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just ; because I seek not mine Own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. 32. There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. 36. The works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 37. The Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Yehave neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. John 6:27. Him hath GOd the Father Sealed. 38. I came down from heaven, not to do mine Own will, but the will of him that sent me. 40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the lăst day. 46. Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. 57. The living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: 69. We believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. John 7:16. My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 28. I am not come of my- self, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. 29. But I know him : for I am from him, and he hath sent me. John 8:16. I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 19. Then said they '#38 JESUS, THE CHRIST.—SON OF GoD. unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus an- swered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. 26. He that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. 27. They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. 28. When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, Ispeak these things. 29. And he that sent me is with me : the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. 38. I speak that which I have seen with my Father: 40. But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: 42. If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 49. I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 54. If I honour myself, my honour is nothing : it is my Father that honoureth me; John 9:35. Jesus . . . said unto him, Dost thou believe On the Son of God? 36. He an- swered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him : 37. Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. John 10:15. As the Father knoweth me, even SO know I the Father: 17. Therefore doth my Father loveme, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 18. This commandment have I received of my Fa- ther. 29. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no 777 an is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30. I and my Father are one. 36. Sayye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; be- cause I said, I am the Son of God? 37. If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. John 11:4. When Jesus heard that, he Said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. 27. She saith unto him, Yea, Lord : I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world. 41. Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. John 12:49. I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a Commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50. And I know that his Commandment is life everlasting: whatso- ever I speak therefore, even as the Father Said unto me, so I speak. John 13:3. Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and § he was come from God, and went to OCI : John 14:7. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 9. He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how Sayest thou then, Shew us the Father ? 10. Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: 13. Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 16. I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Com- forter, that he may abide with you for ever; 20. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. 24. The word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. 28. If ye love me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. 31. That the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. John 15:1. I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 8. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; SO shall ye be my disciples. 9. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love: even as I have kept my Father's command- ments, and abide in his love. 23. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 24. Now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. John 16:5. I go my way to him that sent me; 15. All things that the Father hath are mine: 27. The Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came Out from God. 28. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world : again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 32. I am not alone, because the Father is with me. John 17:1. Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: vs. 1–26. John 1937. The Jews answered him, 'We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. John 20:17. I am not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father ; and to my God, and your God. 21. As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 31. But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing yemight have life through his name. Acts 3:13. The God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus: Acts 13:33. God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again ; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. - Rom. 1:3. Concerning his Son Jesus Christ Our Lord, which was made of the Seed of 739 JESUS, THE CHRIST. SON OF GOD. David accCording to the flesh ; 4. And de- Ciared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead : 9. For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; Rom. 8:3. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sin- ful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh : 29. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 32. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, " . 1 Cor. 1:9. God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ Our Lord. 1 Cor. 15:24. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; 27. He hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 28. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all lings under him, that God may be all lil 8,11. 2 Cor. 1:3. Blessed be God, even the Fa- ther of Our Lord Jesus Christ, 19. For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. Gal. 1:16. To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen ; Gal. 4:4. When the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, Eph. 1:3. Blessed be the God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, - Eph. 3:14. For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Col. 1:3. We give thanks to God and the |Pather of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 15. Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature : 19. It pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; Col. 3:17. And whatsoever ye do in word Or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. 1 Thess. 1:10. And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. Heb. 1:1. God . . . . 2. Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express im- age of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by ten thee. himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high : 5. For unto which of the angels Said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I be- gotten thee ? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son ? Heb. 4:14. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hol fast Our profession. - Heb. 5:5. Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest : but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begot- 8. Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 10. Called of God an high priest after the Order Of Melchisedec. Heb. 6:6. They crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open Shame. Heb. 7:3. Without father, without moth- er, without descent, having neither begin- ning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest con- tinually. Heb. 10:29. Of how much sorer punish- ment, supposeye, shall he bethought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the Covenant, where with he was Sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 1 John 1:7. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1 John 2:22. Who is a liar but he that de- nieth that Jesus is the Christ 3 He is anti- Christ, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father : [but] he that acknowl- edgeth the Son hath the Father also. 24. Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 1 John 3:8. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 23. And this is his Commandment, That we should believe On the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 1 John 4:9. God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for Our sins. 14. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Sav- iOur Of the world. - 1 John 5:5. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?. 9. This is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 10. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself; he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he 740 JESUS, THE CHRIST.-SoN of MAN–SovKREIGNTy of SUFFERINGs of. believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 13. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eter- mal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 20. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 2 John 3. Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. . Rev. 2:18. And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things Saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; See DIVINITY OF, above; RELATION OF, To THE FATHER, above. SON OF MAN: See HUMANITY OF, above. SOWEREIGNTY OF: See JESUs, KING; SUF- FERINGS OF. - SUFFERINGS OF: Matt. 26:38. Then Saith he unto them, My Soul is exceeding sorrow- ful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. 39. And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, Saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. 40. And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me One hour 3 41. Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation : the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 42. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, ex- cept I drink it, thy will be done. 43. And he came and found them asleep again : for their eyes were heavy. 44. And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45. Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take yoºr rest : behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Matt. 27:24. When Pilate Saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tu- mult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just per- son : see ye to it. 25. Then answered all the people, and Said, His blood be on us, and On Our children. 26. Then released he Barabbas unto them : and when he had Scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be cru- cified. 27. Then the soldiers of the gov- ernor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of sol- diers. 28. And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. 29. And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! 30. And they Spit upon him, and took the reed, and Smote him on the head. 31. And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own rai- ment on him, and led him away to crucify him. 32. And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross. 33. And when they were come unto a place called Golgo- tha, that is to say, a place of a skull, 34. They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink. 35. Arid they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. , 36. And sitting down they watched him there; 37. And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 38. Then were there two thieves crucified with him, One on the right hand, and another on the left. 39. And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, 40. And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and build- est it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the croSS. 41. Tikewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, Said, 42. He saved others; himself he can- not save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43. He trusted in God: let him deliver him now, if he will have him : for he said, I am the Son of God. 44. The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth. 45. Now from the sixth hour there was darkness Over all the land unto the ninth hour. 46. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabach- thani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? 47. Some of them that stood there, when they heard f/hat, said, This man calleth for Elias. 48. And straightway one of them ran, and took a sponge, and filled it with vinegar, and put ât on a reed, and gave him to drink. 49. The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to Save him. 50. Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. Mark 14:15; Luke 22: 23; John 18:19. Mark 15:34. At the ninth hour-Jesus cried with a loud voice, Saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama Sabachthani ? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Luke 2:34. Behold, this child is set for . . . a sign which shall be spoken against : Luke 4:28. All they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29. Androse up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow. of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 74.1 JESUS, THE CHRIST.-SUFFERINGS OF. Luke 22:44. Being in an agony he prayed more earnestly : and his Sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. Luke 24:46. And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to º and to rise from the dead the third ay: -- John 4:6. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: John 11:33. When Jesus therefore Saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled, 35. Jesus wept. John 12:27. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say ? Father, save me from this hour : but for this cause came I unto this hour. John 18:11. The cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? John 19:28. Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Acts 3:18. But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. Acts 17:3. Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ. 2 Cor. 1:5. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so Our consolation also abound- eth by Christ. - Phil. 2:7. Made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men ; 8. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the Cross. Phil. 3:10. That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellow- ship of his sufferings, being made conform- able unto his death: Heb. 2:9. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffer- ing of death, Heb. 4:15. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Heb. 5:7. Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and suppli- cations with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to Save him from death, and was heard in that he feared ; 8. Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; Heb. 12:2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the Cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3. For consider him that endured such contradic- tion of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 1 Pet. 1:11. Searching what, or what man- ner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified before- hand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 1 Pet. 2:21. For even hereunto were ye called : because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should fol- low his steps: 22. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth : 23. Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again ; when he suffered, he threatened not ; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously : 1 Pet. 4:1. Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from SIn ; Rev. 5:6. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, Rev. 19:13. He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. See DEATH OF, above; PERSECUTION. PROPHECIES CONCERNING: Psa. 22:6. I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. 7. All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 8. He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him : let him deliver him, see- ing he delighted in him. 11. Be not far from me ; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. 12. Many bulls have Com- assed me: strong bulls of Bashan have eset me round. 13. They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. 17. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. 18. They part my garments among them, and Cast lots upon my vesture. [Matt. 27:35; Mark 15:24; Luke 23:34; John 19:23.] 19. But be not thou far from me, O LORD : O my strength, haste thee to help me. 20. De- liver my soul from the sword: my darling from the power of the dog. 21. Save me from the lion's mouth : for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. IPsa. 69:7. For thy sake I have borne re- proach ; shame hath covered my face. 8. I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's children. 9. For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up ; and the reproaches of them that re- proached thee are fallen upon me. 20. Re- proach hath broken my heart ; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for com- forters, but I found none. Psa. 109:25. I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads. Isa. 50:6. I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and Spitting. Isa. 52:13. Behold, my servant shall deal 742 JESUS, THE CHRIST.-SYMPATHY OF.—TEACHER. prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. 14. As many were as- tonied at thee; his visage was So marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: Isa. 53:1. Who hath believed our report 2 and to whom is the arm of the LORD re- vealed ? [John 12:38.] 2. For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of Sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him ; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4. Surely he hath. borne Our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did es- teem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5. But he was wounded for Our transgressions, he was bruised for Our in- iquities: the chastisement of Our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6. All we like sheep have gone astray ; we have turned every one to his own way ; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shear- ers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8. He was taken from prison and from judgment : and who shall declare his gen- eration ? for he was cut off out of the land of the living : for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9. And he made his grave 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 grief: when thou shalt make his Soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. 11. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniqui- ties. 12. Therefore will I divide him a por- tion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. Luke 22:37. Mic. 5:1. They shall smite the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek. Zech. 11:12. And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. 13. And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD. Zech. 13:6. And one shall Say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which ſ was wounded in the house of my friends. 7. Awake, O Sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, Saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. Matt. 16:21. From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and Scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Matt. 17:12. But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. 22. And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men ; 23. And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry. Matt. 20:17. And Jesus going up to Jeru- Salem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, 18. Behold, we go up to Jerusalem ; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, 19. And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him ; and the third day he shall rise again. Mark 10:32–34; Luke 18: 31–33. Mark 8:31. And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. Luke 2:34. And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against ; 35. (Yea, a Sword shall pierce through thy own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be re- vealed. Luke 9:22. Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. 1 Pet. 1:11. Searching what, or what man- ner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified before- hand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. SYMPATHY OF: See COMPASSION OF; LOVE OF. TEACHER: Matt. 4:23. And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their syna- gogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, Matt. 7:29. For he taught them as one hav- ing authority, and not as the scribes. Matt, 11:1. And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities. 743 JESUS, THE CHRIST —TEMPTATION OF-UNCHANGEABLE –WoRSHIP OF. Matt. 21:23. And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teach- ing, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this author- ity ? Matt. 22:16. And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man : for thou regardest not the person of men. Mark 12:14; Luke 20:21. Matt. 23:8. But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. Matt. 26:55. In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me. Mark 4:1. And he began again to teach by the Sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the Sea on the land. Matt. 5:1. Luke 4:15. And he taught in their syna- gogues, being glorified of all. Luke 6:6. And it came to pass also on an- other Sabbath, that he entered into the syna- gogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered. Luke 23:5. And they were the more fierce, Saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Gali- lee to this place. - John 3:2. The same came to Jesus by night, and Said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: Acts 1:1. The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, - TEMPTATION OF: Tsa. 7:16. For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings. Matt. 4:1. Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. , 2. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. , 5. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pin- nacle of the temple. 6. And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8. Again, the devil taketh him up into an ex- ceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9. And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10. Then Saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. Mark 1:12,13; Luke 4:1–13. Luke 22:28. Ye are they which have con- tinued with me in my temptations. - John 14:30. The prince of this world com- eth, and hath nothing in me. - Heb. 4:15. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. TYPES OF: See TYPES.

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to re- ceive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and bless- ing. 13.

Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness. Prov. 15:21. Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: Eccl. 2:10. And whatsoever mine eyes de- sired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart re- joiced in all my labour ; and this was my portion of all my labour. Eccl. 7:6. For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool : this also is vanity. Eccl. 11:8. But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all ; yet let him re- member the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity. 9. Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. Isa. 16:10. And gladness is taken away, and joy out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there shall be no singing, neither shall there be shouting: the treaders shall tread out no wine in their presses; I have made their vintage shouting to cease. Jas. 4:9. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep : let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. See HAPPINESS; PRAISE: THANKSGIVING. JOZABAD. 1.

And thou shalt number seven Sabbaths of years unto thee. Seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. 9. Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. 10. And ye shall hallow the fif- tieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants there- of ; it shall be a jubile unto you ; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his fam- ily. 11. A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow, neither reap that which groweth of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed. 12. For it is the jubile; it shall be holy unto you : ye shall eat the increase thereof out of the field. 13. In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession. 14. And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another: 15. Accord- ing to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and ac- cording unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee: 16. Accord- ing to the multitude of years thou shalt in- crease the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt di- minish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee. 17. Ye shall not there- fore oppress one another: but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God. 18. Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them ; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety. 19. And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in Safety. 20. And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase: 21. Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. 22. And ye shall, Sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store. 23. The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine ; for ye cºre strangers and sojourners with me. 24. And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land. 25. If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold. 26. And if the man have none to redeem it, and himself be able to redeem it ; 27. Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the overplus unto the man to whom he sold it : that he may return unto his pos- session. 28. But if he be not able to restore Žt to him, then that which is sold shall re- main in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile; and in the jubile it shall go out, and he shall return unto his possession. 29. And if a man sell a dwelling 755 JU BIT,EE, JUT)AII. house in a walled city, then he may re- deem it within a whole year after it is sold : within a full year may he redeem it. 30. And if it be not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house that is in the walled city shall be established for ever to him that bought it throughout his generations: it shall not go out in the jubile. 31. But the houses of the villages which have no wall round about them shall be counted as the fields of the country : they may be redeemed, and they shall go out in the jubile. 32. Notwithstanding the cities of the Levites, and the houses of the cities of their possession, may the Levites redeem at any time. 33. And if a man purchase of the Levites, then the house that was sold, and the city of his possession, shall go out in the year of jubile; for the houses of the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel. 34. But the field of the suburbs of their cities may not be sold; for it is their perpetual possession. 35. And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him : yea, though he be a stranger, Or a Sojourner; that he may live with thee. 36. Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. 37. Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase. 38. I am? the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, to give you the land of Canaan, and to be your God. 39. And if thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant: 40. But as an hired Servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee unto the year of jubile : 41. And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his chil- dren with him, and shall return unto his Own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return. 42. For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt : they shall not be sold as bondmen. 43. Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God. 44. Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids, which thou shalt have, shall be of the heathen that are round about you; of them shall ye buy bondmen and bondmaids. 45. Moreover of the children of the strangers that do Sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy, and of their families that are with you, which they begat in your land: and they shall be your possession. 46. And ye shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession; they shall be your bondmen for ever: but over your brethren the children of Israel, ye shall not rule one over another with rigour. 47. And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family: 75 48. After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him : 49. Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself. 50. And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile; and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him. 51. If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he Shall give again the price of his redemption Out of the money that he was bought for. 52. And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption. 53. And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him : and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight. 54. And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him. 55. For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom Ibrought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. Lev. 27:17. If he sanctify his field from the year of jubile, according to thy estimation it shall stand. 18. But if he sanctify his field after the jubile, then the priest shall reckon unto him the money according to the years that remain, even unto the year of the jubile, and it shall be abated from thy es- timation. 19. And if he that sanctified the field will in any wise redeem it, then he shall add the fifth part of the money of thy estimation unto it, and it shall be assured to him. 20. And if he will not redeem the field, or if he have sold the field to another man, it shall not be redeemed any more. 21. But the field, when it goeth out in the jubile, shall be holy unto the LORD, as a field devoted ; the possession thereof shall be the priest's. 22. And if a man sanctify unto the LORD a field which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of his possession; 23. Then the priest shall reckon unto him the Worth of thy estimation, even unto the year of the jubile; and he shall give thine estimation in that day, as a holy thing un- to the TORD. 24. In the year of the jubile the field shall return unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to whom the pos- Session of the land did belong. Num. 36:4. And when the jubile of the children of Israel shall be, then shall their inheritance be put unto the inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received: so shall their inheritance be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.

CHARACTER OF, AND PRECEPTS RE- LATING TO: Ex. 18:21. Moreover thou shalt provide Out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetous- ness; and place Satch Over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: 22. And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shail judge: So shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the burden with thee. Ex. 22:9. For all manner of trespass, whether it be for ox, for ass, for sheep, for raiment, or for any manner of lost thing, which another challengeth to be his, the cause of both parties shall come before the judges; and whom the judges shall condemn, he shall pay double unto his neighbour. 28. Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people. Lev. 19:15. Ye shall do no unrighteous- ness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty : but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour. Deut. 1:12. How can I myself alone bear your Cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife? 13. Take you wise men, and under- standing, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you. 14. And ye answered me, and Said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do. 15. So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains Over tens, and of- ficers among your tribes. 16. And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him. 17. Ye shall not respect persons in judg- 757 JUDGE. ment ; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great ; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it. Deut. 16:18. Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment. 19. Thou shalt not wrest judg- ment ; thou shalt not respect perSons, nei- ther take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous. 20. That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Deut. 17:8. If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of con- troversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose; 9. And thou shalt come unto the priests the Le- vites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment: 10. And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they in- form thee: 11. According to the Sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and ac- cording to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not de- cline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left. Deut. 19:16. If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong; 17. Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the TORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days; 18. And the judges shall make diligent in- Quisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; 19. Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: So shalt thou put the evil away from among you. Deut. 25:1. If there be a controversy be- tween men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them ; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked. 2. And it shall be, if the wicked Iman be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beat- en before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number. 3. Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee. 1 Sam. 2:25. If one man sin against another, the judge shall judge him : but if a man sin against the IORD, who shall in- treat for him 2 1 Sam. 8:3. And his sons walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment. 1 Kin. 3:9. Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? 2 Chr. 19:5. And he set judges in the land throughout all the fenced cities of Judah, city by city, 6. And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment. 7. Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do it: for there is no iniquity with the LORD Our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts. 8. Moreover in Jerusalem did Jehoshaphat Set of the Levites, and of the priests, and of the chief of the fathers of Israel, for the judgment of the LORD, and for controversies, when they returned to Jerusalem. 9. And he charged them, say- ing, Thus shall ye doin the fear of the LORD, faithfully, and with a perfect heart. 10. And what cause SOever shall come to you of your brethren that dwell in their cities, be- tween blood and blood, between law and commandment, statutes and judgments, ye shall even warn them that they trespass not against the LORD, and so wrath come upon you, and upon your brethren: this do, and ye Shall not trespass. Psa. 58:1. Do ye indeed speak right- eousness, O Congregation ? do ye judge up- rightly, O ye sons of men ? 2. Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. Psa. 72:1. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's Son. 2. He shall judge thy people With righteousness, and thy poor with judg- ment. 4. He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the op- preSSOr. vs. 12–14. Psa. 82:2. How long will ye judge unjust- ly, and accept the persons of the wicked 2 3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. 4. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. Prov. 24:23. These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment. Isa, 5:22. Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to min- gle strong drink; 23. Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the right- eOusness of the righteous from him Isa. 28:5. In that day shall the LORD of hosts be for a crown of glory, and for a dia- dem of beauty, unto the residue of his peo- ple, 6.

And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bring- ing upon us a great evil: Mic. 7:3. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. Zeph. 3:3.

The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wick- edness of the wicked shall be upon him. 21. But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22. All his transgressions that he hath com- mitted, they shall not be mentioned unto him : in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 23. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? Saith the Tord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? 24. But when the righteous turneth away from his righteous- ness, and committeth iniquity, (tºd doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked 7), (/7, doeth, shall he live 2 All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. 25. Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? 26. When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them ; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. 27. Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. 28. Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. Dan. 7:9. I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his 759 JUDGMENT.—THE GENERAL. throne was like the fiery flame, (t/ld his wheels as burning fire. 10. A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him : thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him : the judgment was set, and the books were Opened.

It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. Matt. 10:15. Matt. 12:36. Every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. 41. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it : be- cause they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 42. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it : for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. Duke 11:31,32. Matt. 13:30. In the time Of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. 40. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire ; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42. And shall "cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. 49. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, 50. And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wail- ing and gnashing of teeth. Matt. 16:27. The Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Mark 8:38. Matt. 22:13.

Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites 1 for ye devour wid- ows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation. Matt. 25:1. Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no Oil with them : 4. But the wise took Oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh: go ye out to meet him. 7. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8. And the foolish Said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for Our lamps are gone out. 9. But the wise answered, saying, Not so : lest there be not enough for us and you : but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10. And while they went to buy, the bridgroom came ; and they that were ready went in with him to the mar- riage: and the door was shut. 11. After- ward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13. Watch therefore, for ye know nei- ther the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. 14. For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. [Luke 19: 12–26.] 15. And unto one he gave five tal- ents, to another two, and to another One: to every man according to his several abil- ity; and straightway took his journey. 16. Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. 17. And likewise he that had received two, he also gained Other two. 18. But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. 19. After a longtime the lord of those servants cometh, and reckon- eth with them. 20. And so he that had re- ceived five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. 21. His lord said unto him, Well done, thout good and faithful servant : thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 22. He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou de- liveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. 23. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faith. 760 JUDGMENT.—THE GENERAL. ful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 24. Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not Sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25. And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26. His lord answered and said unto him, Thoma wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27. Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine Own with usury. 28. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 29. For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into Outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 31. When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32. And before him shall be gath- ered all nations: and he shall separate them One from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33. And he shall Set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34. Then shall the King Say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in : 36. Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee 2 or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38. When Saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in 2 or naked, and clothed thee 3' 39. Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40. And the King shall answer and say un- to them, Verily I Say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. 42. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink : 43. I was a stranger, and ye took me not in : naked, and ye clothed me not : sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee ? 45. Then shall he an- swer them, saying, Verily I Say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46, And these shall go away into everlasting punishment : but the righteous into life eternal. Mark 4:22. For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was anything kept Secret, but that it should come abroad. Mark 13:32.

But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your Ways out into the streets of the same, and Say, , 11. Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 12. But I Say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. 13. Woe unto thee, Chorazin ' woe unto thee, Bethsaida for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sitting in Sackcloth and ashes. 14. But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. Luke 12:2. For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed ; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3. Therefore whatso- ever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light ; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be pro- claimed upon the housetops. 4. And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5. But I will fore- warn you whom ye shall fear : Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, Isay unto you, Fear him. Luke 13:24. Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I Say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25.

Then shall ye be- gin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 27. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 28. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust Out. , 29. And they shallcome from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of GOd. Luke 20:45. Then in the audience of all the people he said unto his disciples, 46.

But after thy hardness and im- penitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revela- tion of the righteous judgment of God; 6. Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7. To them who by patient con- tinuance in well doing seek for glory and i honour and immortality, eternal life: 8.

But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good; to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile : 12. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law; and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law ; 13. (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14. For when the Gen- tiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, hav- ing not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15. Which shew the work Of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another ;) 16. In the day when God shall judge the Secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gos- pel. Rom. 14:10. But why dost thou judge thy brother ? Or why dost thou set at nought thy brother ? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11.

Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 1 Cor. 4:5. Judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: § then shall every man have praise of OCl. 1 Cor. 6:2.

The heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 10. The day of the Tord will come as a thief in the night ; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the ele- ments shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11.

And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them : and they were judged every man according ŠO their works. 14.

Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the Soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. [vs. 5–9.] 19. Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is law- ful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall Surely live. 20. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The Son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 21. But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my stat- utes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 23. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? 24. But when the righteous turn- eth away from his righteousness, and com- mitteth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man. doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. 25. Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal? 26. When a righteous man turn- eth away from his righteousness, and com- mitteth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. 27. Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath Com- mitted, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall Save his soul alive. 28. Be- cause he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall Surely live, he shall not die. 29. Yet Saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal? 30. Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Tord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your trans- gressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. 31. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have trans- gressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? 32. For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, Saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. Ezek. 33:18. When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth in- iquity, he shall even die thereby. 19. But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby. 20. Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal.

That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the founda- tion of the world, may be required of this generation : v. 51. Duke 12:47. That servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, nei- ther did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be 764 JUDGMENT.—ACCORDING TO OPPORTUNITY AND WoRKs, much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. [See parable of the vineyard, Isa. 5: 1–6. Of the husbandman, Isa. 28:24–28. Of the wicked husbandmen, Matt. 21:33–36. Of the talents, Matt. 25:14–30. Luke 13:6. He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. 7. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? 8. And he auls wering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: 9. And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. Luke 19:12. He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13. And he Galled his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Oc- cupy till I come. 14. But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 15. And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the king- dom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16. Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17. And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 18. And the sec- ond came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19. And he said like- wise to him, Be thou also Over five cities. 20. And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 21. For I feared thee, be- cause thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layest not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 22. And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thoºd wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow : 23. Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury’ 24. And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25. (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 26. For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 27. But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me. Luke 21:1. And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treas- ury. 2. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3. And *** = he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4. For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had. John 3:19. This is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be re- proved. John 5:45. Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. John 9:41. Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye Say, We See; therefore your sin re- maineth. John 12:48. He that rejecteth me, and re- ceiveth not my words, hath one that judg- eth him: the word that I have spoken, the Same shall judge him in the last day. John 15:22. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. 24. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. Rom. 2:5. But after thy hardness and im- penitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revela- tion of the righteous judgment of God; 6. Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7. To them who by patient con- tinuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 8. But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteous- ness, indignation and wrath, 9. Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10. Glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile : 11. For there is no respect of persons with God. 12. As many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law; and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 27. Shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law Ż 1 Cor. 3:8. Every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 13. Every man's work shall be made mani- fest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is, 14. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. v. 12. 1 Cor. 4:5. Therefore judge nothing be- fore the time, until the Lord come, who both 765 JUDGMEN'i'. JUDGMENTS. will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the coun- sels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God. 2 Cor. 2:15. For we are unto God a Sweet Savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: 16. To the One we are the Savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. 2 Cor. 11:15. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. Gal. 6:5. Every man shall bear his own burden. 6. Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7. Be not deceived; God is not mocked ; for whatsoever a man SOW- eth, that shall he also reap. 8. For he that Soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that Soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9. And let us not be weary in well doing : for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. Eph. 6:7. With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: 8. Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. Col. 3:25. He that doeth wrong shall re- ceive for the wrong which he hath done : and there is no respect of persons. 1 Tim. 1:13. Who was before a blas- phemer, and a persecutor, and injurious : but I obtained mercy, because I did it igno- rantly in unbelief. Heb. 2:2. If the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward; 3. How shall we escape, if we neglect so great Salvation : Heb. 10:26. If we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27. But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28. He that de- spised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29. Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the Covenant, where with he was Sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 30. For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. Heb. 12:25. If they escaped not who re- fused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: Jas. 2:12. So speak ye, and SO do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. 13. He shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy : 1 Pet. 1:17. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth ac- cording to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 2 Pet. 2:20. For ifafter they haveescaped the pollutions of the world through the knowl- edge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and over- come, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21. It had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known 7t, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. Rev. 2:23. All the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. Rev. 20:12. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were writ- ten in the books, according to their works. 13. And the Sea gave up the dead which were in it ; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them : and they were judged every man according to their works. - See GOD, JUDGE: JESUS, JUDGE: PUNISH- MENT, ACCORDING TO T)EEDS.

And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them : and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horse- men. 18. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Tharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. 31. And Israel Saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians ; and the people feared the IORD, and believed the LORD, and his Serv- ant MOSes. Tev. 10:3. Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glo- rified. Deut. 29:22. So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it; 23. And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor bear- eth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the Overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD Overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath : 24. Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land Ž what meaneth the heat of this great anger? 25. Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the Covenant of the TORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt: 26. Eor they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them : 27. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the Curses that are written in this book : 28. And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indig- nation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day. Psa. 9:16. The LORD is known by the judg- ment which he executeth : the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. 20. Put them in fear, O TORD : that the nations may know themselves to be bºtt men. Psa. 59:13. Consume them in wrath, con- sume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Psa. 83:16. Fill their faces with shame: that they may seek thy name, O TORD. 17. Ilet them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish :-18. That meſ, may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. Isa. 26:9. With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit with- in me will I seek thee early : for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. Isa. 64:1. Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldestcome down,that the mountains might flow down at thy pres- ence. 2. As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence Ezek, 11:10. Ye shall fall by the sword; I will judge you in the border of Israel; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 11. This city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof; but I will judge you in the border of Israel: 12. And ye shall know that I am? the LORD : for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you. Ezek. 12:16. But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from tho famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the heathen whither they come; and they shall know that I am the LORD. Ezek. 147. For every one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that sojourneth in Israel, which separateth himself from me, and Setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to a prophet to inquire of him concerning me; I the LORD will answer him by myself: 8. And I will Set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. Ezek. 21:3. And say to the land of Israel, Thus Saith the LORD ; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will Cut Off from thee the righteous and the wicked. 4. Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the South to the north : 5. That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more. Ezek. 25:5. And I will make Rabbah a stable for Camels, and the Ammonites a couching place for flocks; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 7. Behold, therefore, I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen : and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I am the TORD. 11.

And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD : because he hath Said, The river is mine, and I have made it. 16. And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I am the Lord GOD. Ezek. 30:8. And they shall know that I ann the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and when all her helpers shall be destroyed. 25. But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt. 26. And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and dis- perse them among the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD. Ezek. 33:29. Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abomina- tions which they have committed. Ezek. 38:22. And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone. 23. Thus will I magni- fy myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the TORD. Dan. 4:17. This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the liv- ing may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. 24. This is the interpre- tation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king: 25. That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as Oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and Seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. 26. And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule. 34. And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to genera- tion: Rom. 9:17. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 22. What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: 1 Cor. 10:6. Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 11. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Rev. 2:23.

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judg- 77vent : 3. Neither shalt thou Countenance a poor man in his cause. 6. Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause. 7. Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not : for I will not justify the wicked. 8. And thou shalt take no gift : for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous. - Dev. 19:13. Thou shalt not defraud thy neighbour, neither rob him : tho wages of him that is hired shall not abide with thee all night until the morning. 14. Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling- block before the blind, but shalt fear thy God: I (1772 the TORD. 15. Ye shall do no un- righteousness in judgment ; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty : but in righteous- ness shalt thou judge thy neighbour. Deut. 16:18. Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the IORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: '76 8 JUSTICE. and they shall judge the people with just judgment. 19. Thou shalt not wrest judg- ment ; thoushalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the right- eous. 20. That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and in- herit the land which the LORD thy God giv- eth thee. Deut. 25:1. If there be a controversy be- tween men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked. 2. And it shall be, if the wicked man he worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number. 3. Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed : lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee. 4. Thou shalt not muzzle the Ox when he treadeth out the corn. Ezra, 7:26. And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprison- ment. Psa. 72:1. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king'sson. 2. He shall judgethy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. Psa. 82:2. How long will ye judge un- justly, and accept the persons of the wicked ? 3. Defend the poor and fatherless: do jus- tice to the afflicted and needy. 4. Deliver the poor and needy : rid them out of the hand Of the wicked. Prov. 17:15. He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. 26. To punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity. Prov. 18:5. It is not good to accept the person of the wicked, to overthrow the righteous in judgment. 17. He that is first in his own cause seem- eth just ; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him. Prov. 20:8. A king that sittethin the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes. Prov. 22:27. If thou hast nothing to pay, why should he take away thy bed from un- der thee ? Prov. 24:23. These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of perSons in judgment. - Prov. 28:21. To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress. Prov. 29:26. Many seek the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the LORD. Eccl. 3:16. And moreover I saw under the Sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there ; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 17. I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. Eccl. 5:8. If thou Seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judg- ment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter : for he that is higher than the highest regardeth ; and there be higher than they. Eccl. 7:7. Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart. Isa. 1:17. Learn to do well; seek judg- ment, relieve the oppressed, judge the father- lcSS, plead for the widow. Isa. 56:1. Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation ts near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. Isa. 59:14. And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity can- not enter. 15. Yea, truth faileth ; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. Jer. 22:1. Thus saith the LORD : Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word, 2. And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy serv- ants, and thy people that enter in by these gates: 3. Thus Saith the LORD : Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place. 4. For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, and his Servants, and his people. Lam. 3:35. To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the most High, 36. To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord ap- proveth not. Amos 5:7. Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth, 11. Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and yetake from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them : ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them. 12. For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. Mic. 7:3. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. Hab. 1:4. Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth : for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth. (49) 769 . JUSTICE. JUSTIFICATION. Zech. 8:16. These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: Matt. 5:23. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee; 24. Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Matt. 12:7. But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacri- fice, ye would not have condemned the guilt- less. John 7:24. Judge not according to the ap- pearance, but judge righteous judgment. 51. Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? 1 Cor. 13:6. Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth: See COURTS; JUDGES ; WITNESS; LAw- YERS. JUSTIFICATION. Gen. 15:6. He be- lieved the LORD ; and he counted it to him for righteousness. Rom. 4:3. Psa. 32:2. Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, Rom. 4:6. Psa. 71:16. I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thyright- eousness, even of thine only. Psa. 89:16. In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. Isa. 42:21. The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable. Isa. 45:24. Surely, shall One say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come ; 25. In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory. Isa. 46:12. Hearken unto me, ye stout- hearted, that are far from righteousness: 13. I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory. Isa. 50:8. He is near that justifieth me ; who will contend with me? let us stand to- gether: who is mine adversary?let him come Inear to me. Isa. 51:5. My righteousness is near; my Salvation is gone forth, and mine arms shall judge the people; the isles shall wait upon me, and on mine arm shall they trust, 6. Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath : for the heavens Shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth Shall Wax Old like a garment, and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my Salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished. Isa. 53:11. He shall see of the travail of his Soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant jus- tify many: for he shall bear their iniquities. Isa. 54:17. No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judg- ment thou shalt condemn. This is the herit- age of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, Saith the LORD. Isa. 56:1. Thus Saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice : for my Salvation Čs near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. Isa. 61:10. My Soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the gar- ments of Salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. Jer. 23:6. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Zech. 3:4. Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment. John 5:24. He that heareth my word, and believeth. On him that sent me, hath everlast- ing life, and shall not come into condemna- tion; but is passed from death unto life. Acts 13:39. By him all that believe are jus- tified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. |BOm. 1:16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto Salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17. For therein is the righteousness of God re- vealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Hab. 2:4; Gal. 3:11. Rom. 2:13. For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. Rom. 3:21. The righteousness of God with- out the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22. Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: forthere is no difference : 24. Being justified freely by his grace through the re- demption that is in Christ Jesus: 25. Whom Godhath setforthto be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness fortheremission of sinsthat are past, through the forbearance of God; 26. To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 28. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 30. It is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. Bom. 4:5. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the un- godly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6. Even as David also describeth the blessed- ness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7. Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are for- given, and whose sins are covered. 8. Blessed 770 JUSTIFICATION. wº- is the man to whom the Lord will not im- pute sin. 9. Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the un- circumcision also } for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. 10. How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision ? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. 11. And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that right- eousness might be imputed unto them also: 12. And the father of circumcision to thein who are not of the circumcision. Only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being get uncircumcised. 13. For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his Seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14. For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect : 15. Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. 16. Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17. (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18. Who against hope believed in hope, that hemight become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb : 20. He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong infaith, giving glory to God; 21. And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22. And there- fore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him ; 24. But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we be- lieve on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25. Who was delivered for Our offences, and was raised again for our justification. Rom. 5:1. Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ : 9. Much more then, being now justi- fied by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 11. We also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. 16. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift : for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto, justification. 17. For if by one man's Offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. 18. Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even SO by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 21. That as sin hath reigned unto death, even SO might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. (U.S. 12–21. - Rom. 6:22. But now being made free from sin, and becoming servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end ever- lasting life. Rom. 7:4. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to an- Other, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. vs. 1–25. Rom. 8:1. There is therefore now no con- demnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 30. Whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. 31. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 33. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect 2 . It is God that justifieth. 34. Who is he that condemneth ? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Rom. 9:30. The Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 31. Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32. Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. Rom. 10:4. Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 5. For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, 8. The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart : that is, the word of faith, which we preach ; 9. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness: and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation. 11. For the Scripture Saith, Who- soever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. ^ys. 1–21. 1 Cor. 1:30. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and Sanctification, and redemption : 1 Cor. 6:11. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are Sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of Our God. 771 JUSTIFICATION. 2 Cor. 5:19. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not im- puting their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconcilia- tion. 21. He hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Gal. 2:16. A man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law : for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. vs. 14–21. Gal. 3:8. The scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. [v. 6..] 21. If there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. , 22. But the Scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. 24. The law was Our School- master to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Gal. 4:21–31. Gal. 5:4. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. 5. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of right- eousness by faith. 6. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor ºcumcision ; but faith which worketh by OVé. Eph. 6:14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; Phil. 3:8. That I may win Christ, 9. And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: Col. 2:13. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, hav- ing forgiven you all trespasses; 14. Blot- ting out the handwriting of Ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his CrOSS; Tit. 37. Being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. - Heb. 11:4. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: 7. By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and be- . heir of the righteousness which is by aith. Jas. 2:20. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead 2, 21. Was not Abraham our father justified by KEDESH. works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar; 22. Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect 2 23. And the Scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness; and he was called the Friend of God. 26. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. - KINDRED SUBJECTS TO : See ADOP- TION: FORGIVENESS; REGENERATION: SANC- TIFICATION ; SIN, CONFESSION OF, FORGIVE- NESS OF.

And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35.

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; con- sidering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 10. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. Eph. 4:32. And be ye kind one to an- other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven yOu. Col. 3:12. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 14. And above all these things, put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 1 Tim. 5:9. Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, hav- ing been the wife of one man, 10.

LAMENTATIONS. Matt. 20:1. For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire la- bourers into his vineyard. 2. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market- place, 4. And said unto them ; GO ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 5. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. 6. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and Saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? 7. They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He said unto them ; GO ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. 8. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard Saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. 9. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they re- ceived every man a penny. 10. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they like- wise received every man a penny. 11. And when they had received it, they murmured 4:2 against the goodman of the house, 12. Say- ing, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. 13. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong didst not thou agree with me for a penny ? 14. Take that thine is, and go thy way : I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. 15. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own 2 Is thine eye evil, because I am good? nºke 10:7. The labourer is worthy of his l]^e. Acts 20:35. I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Eph. 4:28. Let him that stole steal no 111ore: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. 1 Thess. 4:11. Study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you ; 12. That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. 2 Thess. 3:7. Yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not our- selves disorderly among you; 8. Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you: 9. Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. 10. For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. 11. For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies. 12. Now them that are such we command and ex- hort by Our Lord Jesus Christ, that with Quietness they work, and eat their own bread. 13. But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. Jas. 5:4. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

And they rose up early on the morrow, and of- fered burnt offerings, and brought peace of: ferings; and the people Sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. Prov. 2:16. To deliver thee from the Strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; 17. Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and for- getteth the covenant of her God. 18. For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. Prov. 5:3. For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil: 4. But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword. 5. Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. 8. Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house: 9. Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel: , 10. ..Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth ; and thy labours be in the house of a stran- ger; 11. And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed, 12. And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; 13. And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor in- clined mine ear to them that instructed me ! Prov. 7:6. For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, 7. And be- held among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of un- derstanding, 8. Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, 9. In the twilight, in the even- ing, in the black and dark night: 10. And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil Of heart. 11. (She is loud and stubborn ; her feet abide not in her house: 12. Now is she without, now in the streets, and lieth in wait at every corner.) 13. So she caught him, and kissed him, and with an impudent face Said unto him, 14. I have peace offerings with me; this day have I paid my vows. 15. There- fore came I forth to meet thee, diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee. 16. I have decked my bed with coverings of tapes- try, with carved works, with fine linen of Egypt. 17. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. 18. Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning: let us solace ourselves with loves. the goodman is not at home, he is gone a long journey: 20. He hath taken a bag of money with him, and will come home at the day appointed. 21. With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. 22. He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correc- tion of the stocks; 23. Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life. 24. Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of 19. FOr 778 IASCIVIOUSINESS. my mouth. 25. Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. 26. For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. 27. Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death. Prov. 9:13. A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing. 14. |For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city, 15. To call passengers who go right on their ways: 16. Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understand- ing, she saith to him, 17. Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eate?? in Secret is pleasant. 18. But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell. Prov. 20:16. Take his garment that is Surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman. |Prov. 30:18. There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not : 19. The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the Sea; and the way of a man with a maid. 20. Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eat- eth, and wipeth her mouth, and Saith, I have done no wickedness. Joel 3:3. And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink. Mark 7:21. For from within, Out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adul- teries, fornications, murders, 22. Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lascivious- ness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolish- ness: 23. All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. Rom. 1:22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25. Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26. For this cause God gave them up unto vile af- fections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27. And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust One toward another; men with men working that which is un- seemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29. Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wick- edness, Rom. 7:8. But sin, taking occasion by the Commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. Rom. 13:13. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 1 Cor. 6:9. Know ye not that the unright- eous shall not inherit the kingdom of God & Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10. Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 13. Meats for ille belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. 15. Know ye 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. , 16. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, Saith he, shall be one flesh. 17. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that com- fººth fornication sinneth against his own Ody. 1 Cor. 9:27. But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. 2 Cor. 12:21. I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and las- civiousness which they have committed. Gal. 5:19. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these ; Adultery, forni- cation, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20. Idol- atry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emula- tions, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21. Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revel- lings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not in- herit the kingdom of God. Eph. 4:17. This I say therefore, and testify in the Tord, that ye henceforth walk not as Other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18. Having the understanding dark- ened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, be- cause of the blindness of their heart. T9. Who being past feeling have given them- selves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. Eph. 5:5. For this ye know, that no whore- monger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inher- ſº in the kingdom of Christ and of OCl. Col. 3:5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, un- cleanness, inordinate affection, evil concu- piscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 1 Thess. 4:5. Not in the lust of concupis. 7 9 - 7 T, ASCIVIOUSINESS. LAW. cence, even as the Gentiles which know not GOd: 2 Tim. 3:6. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 1 Pet. 4:2. That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 3. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abom- inable idolatries: Jude 4. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old Ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of Our God into lasciviousness, and denying the Only Lord God, and Our Lord Jesus Christ. 7. Even as SOdom and GO- morrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornica- tion, and going after Strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the ven- geance of eternal fire.

It is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. Rom. 2:14. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15. Which shew the work Of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing wit- ness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another; Rom. 7:7. I had not known sin, but by the law : for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shall not covet. 12. The law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 14. We know that the law is spiritual: Rom. 13:10. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 1 Tim. 1:5. The end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: 8. But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; 9. Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly, and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10. For whore- mongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doc- trine; Jas. 1:25. But whoso looketh into the per- fect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 1 John 3:4. Whosoever Committeth sin transgresseth also the law : for sin is the transgression of the law. 1 John 5:3.

And it, Shall –come to pass, when ye be multiplied-and- increased in the land, in those days, said the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD : neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remem- ber it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more. Dan. 9:27. And he shall confirm the cove- nant with many for one week : and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacri- fice and the oblation to cease, and for the Overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consumma- tion, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Matt. 5:17. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18. For verily I Say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or One tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19. Who- SOever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men So, he shall be called the least in the king- dom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. 21. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou Shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment : 22. But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment : and whosoever shall Say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council : but whosoever shall Say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hellfire. 23. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and , there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24. Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25. Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him ; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26. Verily I Say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. 27. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery : 28. But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck 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 thyright 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. 31. It hath been —said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32. But I Say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adul- tery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. 33. Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34. But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: 35. Nor by the earth ; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem ; for it is the city of the great King. 36. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not 781 T.A.W.-TEMPORARY. make One hair white or black. 37. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. 38. Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39. But I Say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall Smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 43. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and perse- cute you; 45. That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his Sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and Sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Luke 16:16. The law and the prophets were until John : Since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. 17. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail. John 1:17. For the law was given by Moses, ôut grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. John 4:20. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain ; and ye Say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21. Jesus Saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, wor- ship the Father. 22. Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worship- pers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh Such to wor- ship him. 24. God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 8:35. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: bºtt the Son abideth ever. with Gal. 4:30, 31, below. Acts 6:14. For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazarethshalldestroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us. Acts 10:28. And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto One of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. Acts 13:39. And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Acts 15:1. And certain men which came down from Judaeataught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. 2. When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question. 3. And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conver- sion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren. 4. And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declaredall things that God had done with them. 5. But there rose up certain of the Sect of the Pharisees which believed, say- ing, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. 6. And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. 7. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and Said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 8. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them wit- ness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 9. And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 10. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disci- ples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11. But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. 12. Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what mir- acles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them. 13. And after they had held their peace, James answered, say- ing, Men and brethren, hearken unto me: 14. Simeon hath declared how GOd at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. 15. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, 16. After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down ; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up : 17. That the residue of men might Seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. 18. Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. 19. Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: 20. But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. 21. For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day. 22. Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Bar- nabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren: 23. And they wrote letters by them after 782. LAW.—TEMPORARY. this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia : 24. Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, sub- verting your Souls, saying, Ye must be cir- cumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment : 25. It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one ac- cord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, 26. Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 27. We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. 28. For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; 29. That ye ab- stain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep your- selves, ye shall do well. * Acts 21:20. And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe ; and they are all zealous of the law : 21. And they are in- formed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to for sake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs. 22. What is it therefore ? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. 23. I)o therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them; 24. Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing ; but that thou thyself also walkest Orderly, and keepest the law. 25. AS touching the Gen- tiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication. Rom. 3:1. What advantage then hath the Jew 2 or what profit is there of circumci- sion ? 2. Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the Oracles| Of God. Rom. 7:1. Rnow ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth ? 2. For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her hus- band so long as he liveth; but if the hus- band be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3. So then if, while her hus- band liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 4. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. 5. For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. 6. But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. Rom. 8:3. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sin- ful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Rom. 10:4. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that be- lieveth. 2 Cor. 3:7. But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in Stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away : 8. How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious ! 9. For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. 10. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. 11. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. 12. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech : 13. And not as Moses, owhich put a vail over his face, that the chil- dren of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished : 14. But their minds were blinded : for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which wail is done away in Christ. Gal. 2:3. But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be cir- cumcised: 4. And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: 5. To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.-6. But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it mak- eth no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me: 7. But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the cir- cumcision was unto Peter; 8. (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostle- ship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) 9. And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; 783 TAW.—TEMPORARY. that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. Gal. 4:30. Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the Son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the Son of the freewoman. 31. So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. Eph. 2:15. Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace ; Col. 2:14. Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15. And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing Over them in it. 16. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sab- bath days. 17. Which are a shadow of things to come ; but the body is of Christ. 18. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19. And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. 20. Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye Subject to Ordinances, 21. (Touch not ; taste not; handle not; 22. Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23. Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will wor- Ship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. Heb. 8:4. For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law : 5. Who Serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admon- ished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern Shewed to thee in the mount. 6. But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better Covenant, which was established upon better promises. 7. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been Sought for the second. 8. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, Saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Is- rael and with the house of Judah: 9. Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my COVenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 10. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, Saith the Lord ; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11. And they shall not teach every man his neigh- bour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 13. In that he saith, A new cove?vant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. Heb. 9:8. The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first taber- nacle was yet standing. 9. Which was a fig- ure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience ; 10. Which stood Only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal Ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. 11. But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to Say, not of this building; 12. Nei- ther by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemp- tion for us. 13. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprin- kling the unclean, Sanctifieth to the purify- ing of the flesh: 14. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15. And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testa- ment, that by means of death, for the re- demption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 16. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17. For a testament is of force after men are dead : otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liv- eth. 18. Whereupon neither the first testa- ment was dedicated without blood. 19. For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and Scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, 20. Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. 21. Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. 22. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 23. It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these ; but the heav- enly things themselves with better sacrifices 784 IAW. LEBANON. than these. 24. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true ; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Heb. 10:1. For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto per- fect. 2. For then would they not have ceased to be offered ? because that the worship- pers Once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of Sins every year. 4. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 5. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offer- ing thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 8. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offer- 7ng for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst leasure there???, which are offered by the aw; 9. Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. , 11. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God: 13. From hence- forth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. 15. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a wit- ness to us: for after that he had said be- fore, 16. This is the COvenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them ; 17. And their sins and iniquities will I remem- ber no more. 18. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. Heb. 11:40. God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. Heb. 12:18. For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, 19. And the Sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more : 27. And this word, Yet Once more, Signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may Tennalſh. - LAWSUITS, to be avoided, Prov. 25.8– 10; Matt. 5:25,26; 1 Cor. 6:1–8, (50) - ** .

If thou lend mon- ey to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as a usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury. 26. If thou at all take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down ; 27. For that is his cover- ing only, it is his raiment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious. Lev. 25:35. If thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt.relieve him: yea, though he be a stran- ger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee. 36. Take thou no usury of him, or in- crease: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. 37. Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase. Deut. 15:1. At the end of every seven years thou Shalt make a release. 2. And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neigh- bour shall release it, he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the TORD's release. 3. Of a for- eigner thou mayest exact it again : but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release; 4. Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it : 5. Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day. 6. For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he prom- ised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow ; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee. 7. If there be among you a poor man of one of thy breth- ren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: 8. But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, ºn that which he wanteth. 9. Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The Seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought ; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee. 10. Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thougivest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. 11. For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine handwide untothy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. Deut. 23:19. Thou shalt not lend upon usu- ry to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury: 20. Unto a stranger thou may- est lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all that thousettest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it. T)eut. 24:6. No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he tak- eth a man’s life to pledge. 10. When thou dost lend thy brother any thing, thou shalt not go into his house to fetch his pledge. 11. Thou shall stand abroad, and the man to whom thou dost lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto thee. 12. And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge: 13. In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the Sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee before the LORD thy God. 17. Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of , the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge: Neh. 5:1. And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews. 2. For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live. 3. Some also there were that said, We have mortgaged our land, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. 4. 786 LENDING. LEVIATHAN. There were also that said, We have bor- rowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vineyards. 5. Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our Sons and our daugh- ters to be servants, and some of Our daughters are brought into bondage already :: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards. 6. And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words. 7. Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and Said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assembly against them. 8. And I Said unto them, We after our ability have re- deemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen ; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found noth- ing to answer. 9. Also I said, It is not good that ye do: Ought ye not to walk in the fear of Our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies? 10. I likewise, and my brethren, and my servants, might ex- act of them money and corn: I pray you, let us leave off this usury. 11. Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them. 12. Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do as thou sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise. 13. Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation Said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did accord- ing to this promise. Psa. 37:25. I have been young, and now am old : yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. 26. He Žs ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed Žs blessed. Psa. 112:5. A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth : he will guide his affairs with discretion. Prov. 19:17. He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD ; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. Prov. 22:7. The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. Prov. 28:8. He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. Isa. 24:1. Behold, the TORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turn- eth it upside down, and Scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. 2. And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest : as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, So with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. Ezek. 18:13. Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase: shall he then live 2 he shall not live : he hath done all these abominations; he shall Surely die; his blood shall be upon him. Matt. 5:42. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. Luke 6:34. And if yelend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend fo sinners, to receive as much again. 35. But love ye your ene- mies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again ; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest : for he is kind unto the unthank- ful and to the evil.

And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tab- lets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered, offered an offering of gold unto the T.ORD. 23.

And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning. 4. And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made : 5. And they spake unto Moses, say- ing, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make. 6. And MOSes gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanc- tuary. So the people were restrained from bringing. Ex. 38:8. And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the looking- glasses [mirrors, R.

If ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will. Dev. 22:29; Num. 35.8. Deut. 12:11. Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD : 12. And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men- servants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you. 17. Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, or the firstlings of thy herds or of thy flock, nor any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings, or heave offering of thine hand: 18. But thou must eat them before the TORD thy God in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose, thou, and thy Son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidserv- ant, and the Levite that is within thy gates: and thou shalt rejoice before the TORD thy God in all that thou puttest thine hands unto. 19. Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon the earth. Deut. 14:27. And the Levite that is within '[89 TIBERATITY. thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him; for he hath no part nor inheritance with thee. 28. At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine increase the same year, and shalt lay it up within thy gates: 29. And the Levite, (because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee,) and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be Satisfied; that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doest. Deut. 15:7. If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy Gód giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: 8. But thou shalt Open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth. 9. Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, Saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought : and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee. 10. Thou shalt Surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto., 11. For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, Saying, Thou shalt Open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. 12. And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the Seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee. 13. And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty: 14. Thou shalt furnish him liber- ally out of thy flock, and Out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that where- with the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him. 15. And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day. , 16. And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee; 17. Then thou shalt take an awl, and thrust it through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise. 18. It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou Sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant to thee, in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest. Deut. 16:10. Thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a trib- ute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee: 17. Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee. Deut. 18:1. The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance. 2. Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them. 3. And this shall be the priest's due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. 4. The first fruit also of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy sheep, Shalt thou give him. 5. For the LORD thy God hath chosen him out of all thy tribes, to stand to minister in the name of the LORD, him and his sons for ever. 6. And if a Levite come from any of thy gates out of all Israel, where he sojourned, and come with all the desire of his mind unto the place which the LORD shall choose; 7. Then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, which stand there before the LORD. 8. They shall have like portions to eat, beside that which cometh of the sale of his patrimony. T)eut. 24:19. When thou Cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow : that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands. 20. When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 21. When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 22. And thou shalt remem- ber that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command thee to do this thing. 2 Sam. 24:24. And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt of- ferings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. 1 Chr. 22:19. Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD. 1 Chr. 28:10. Take heed now ; for the TORD hath chosen thee to build an house for the Sanctuary: be strong, and do it. 20. And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not 790 of trouble.

Who then is willing to con- secrate his service this day unto the LORD? 2 Chr. 15:7. Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded. 18. And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedi- cated, silver, and gold, and vessels. Ezra 1:2. Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him an house at Jeru- salem, which is in Judah. 3. Who is there among you of all his people 2 his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem. 4. And whosoever remaineth in any place where he sojourn- eth, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem. |Psa. 41:1. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time 2. The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. 3.

He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endur- eth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. Psa. 132:1. TORD, remember David, and all his afflictions: 2. How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob ; 3. Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; 4. I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, 5. Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habita- tion for the mighty God of Jacob. Prov. 3:9.

He that despiseth his neigh- bour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. Prov. 19:6. Many will intreat the favour of the prince: and every man is a friend to him that giveth gifts. 17.

For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron : I will also make thy offi- CerS peace, and thine exactors righteous- IléSS. Hag. 1:8.

Even from the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider it. 19.

And I will rebuke the de- vourer for your sakes, and he shall not de- stroy the fruits of your groumd; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, Saith the TORD of hosts. 12. And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts. Matt. 6:1. Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them; other- wise ye have no reward of your Father 791 LIBERALITY. which is in heaven. 2. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not Sound a trump- et before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the Streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I Say unto you, They have their reward. 3. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth : 4. That thine alms may bein secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee Openly. Matt. 19:21. Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and Sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away Sorrowful : for he had great possessions. Matt. 25:34. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat ; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in : 36. Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37. Then shall the righteous an- swer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee 3 or thirsty, and gave thee drink 2 38. When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in 7 or naked, and clothed thee 3' 39. Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I Say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Iſle. Luke 3:10. And the people asked him, say- ing, What shall we do then? 11. He an- swereth and Saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. Luke 6:38. Give, and it shall be given unto you ; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Matt. 5:42. Luke 11:41. But rather give alms of such things as ye have: . Luke 12:33. Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fail- eth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. 34. For where your treas- ure is, there will your heart be also. Luke 16:9. Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlast- ing habitations. Acts 10:4. And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord 3 And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial be- fore God. Acts 20:35. I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye Ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Rom. 12:8. He that giveth, let him do it with simplicity ; 13. Distributing to the necessity of Saints; given to hospitality. Rom. 15:27. It hath pleased them verily ; and their debtors they are. For if the Gen- tiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minis- ter unto them in carnal things. 1 Cor. 13:3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 1 Cor. 16:1. Concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even SO do ye. 2. Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath pros- pered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. 3. And when I come, whomsoever ye shall approve by your letters, them will I send to bring your liberality unto Jeru- Salem. 2 Cor. 8:7. Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, £7m faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and 7.7% your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. 9. Ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your Sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. 11. Now therefore perform the doing of it : that as there was a readiness to will, so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have. 12. If there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. 13. I mean not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: 14. But by an equality, that now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want : that there may be equality: 24. Shew ye to them, and before the churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your be- half. vs. 8,15. 2 Cor. 9:6. He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which Soweth bountifully shall reap also bounti- fully. 7. Every man according as he pur- poseth in his heart, so let him give : not grudgingly, or of necessity : for God loveth a cheerful giver. S. God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, al- ways having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: [v. 9..] 10. He that ministereth seed to the Sower both minister bread for your food, and mul- tiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness; 11. Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. 12. The administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the Saints, but is 792 LIBERATITY. LIFE. abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; v. 13. - Eph. 4:28. Let him that stole steal no more : but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. 1 Tim. 5:16. If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed. 1 Tim. 6:17. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the liv- ing God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18. That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19. Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. Philem. 14. But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. Heb. 6:10. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the Saints, and do minister. Heb. 13:16. To do good and to communi- cate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 1 John 3:17. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him ? 18. My little children, let us not lovein word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. See ALMS : BENEFICENCE: CHARITABLE- NESS; MINISTERS, EMOLUMENTS OF; POOR, DUTY TO : RICH; RICHES.

The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, 1 Sam. 20:3. Truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step be: tween me and death. 793 LIFE.-BREVITY AND UNCERTAINTY OF. 2 Sam. 14:14. We must needs die, and are as water spilt on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; 1 Chr. 29:15. We are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: Our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there 7s none abiding. Job 4:19. Them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth ? 20. They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it. 21. Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom. - Job 7:6. My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope. 7. O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good. 8. The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more : thine eyes are upon me, and I am not. 9. As the cloud is consumed and van- isheth away, so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more. 10. He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more. ^). 17. Job 8:9. (We are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth Cºre a shadow :) Job 9:25. Now my days are swifter than a post : they flee away, they see no good. 26. They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey. Job 10:9. Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again? 20. Are not my days few 7 cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, 21. Be- fore I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; - Job 13:12. Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay. 25. Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble? 28. He, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a gar- ment that is moth eaten. Gen. 18:27. Job 14:1. Man that is born of a woman is offew days, and full of trouble. 2. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. Job 17:1. My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me. º 22:29. None can keep alive his own SOUll. Psa. 39:4. TORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is ; that I may know how frail I am. 5. Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth ; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. 6. Surely every man walketh in a vain shew : surely they are disquieted in vain : he heapeth up 'riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. 11. When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: sure- ly every man is vanity. Psa. 78:39. He remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and Cometh not again. Psa. 89:47. Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? 48. What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death 3 shall he deliver his Soul from the hand of the grave 2 Psa. 90:3. Thou turnest man to destruc- tion; and Sayest, Return, ye children of men. 5. Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. 6. In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up ; in the evening it is cut down, and with- ereth. 9. All Our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. 10. The days of our years are threeScore years and ten ; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is Soon cut off, and we fly away. Psa. 102:11. My days are like a shadow that declineth ; and I am withered like grass. Psa. 103:14. He knoweth our frame ; he remembereth that we are dust. 15. As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. 16. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. Psa. 144:4. Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. v. 3. Psa. 146:4. His breath goeth forth, he re- turneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Prov. 27:1. Boast not thyself of to mor- row; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Eccl. 1:4. One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. Eccl. 6:12. Who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow % for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the Sun ? Isa. 2:22. Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of ? Isa. 38:12. Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt; thou make an end of me. Isa. 40:6. All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: 7. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth : because the spirit of the LORD blow- eth upon it : Surely the people is grass. 24. Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble. 1 Pet, 1:24. 794 TIFE.-EVERLASTING. Isa. 50:9. Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up. Isa. 51:8. The moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool: 12. Who art thou, that thou should- est be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the Son of man which shall be made as grass; Isa. 64:6. We all do fade as a leaf; Jas. 1:10. As the flower of the grass he shall pass away. 11. For the sun is no Sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: So also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. Jas. 4:14. Ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. See DEATH. EVERLASTING: Psa. 21:4. He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever. Psa. 121:8. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. Psa. 133:3. The LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. Isa. 25:8. He will swallow up deathin vic- tory; Dan. 12:2. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Matt. 19:16. And, behold, one came and Said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17. And he said unto him, Why call- est, thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter in- to life, keep the commandments. 18. He saith unto him, Which 7 Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19. Honour thy fa- ther and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 20. The young man Saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up : what lack 1 yet 21. Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be per- fect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. [Luke 18:18.] 29. And every one that hath for- saken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. Mark 10:30. Matt. 25:46. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Tuke 18:30. Who shall not receive mani- fold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. Luke 20:36. Neither can they die any more : for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the chil- dren of the resurrection. John 3:14. And as Moses lifted up the ser- pent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not per- ish, but have everlasting life. John 4:14. But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst ; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 5:24. Verily, verily, I say unto you, |He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation ; but is passed from death unto life. 25. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 29. And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. 39. Search [Ye search, R. V.] the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: John 6:27. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. 40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have ever- lasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. , 47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 50. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51. I am the living bread which came down from heaven : if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the wOrld. 52. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, Saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat 2 53. Then Je- sus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say un- to you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 54. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drink- eth my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. , 55. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. 56. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. 57. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. 58. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead : he that eateth of this bread Shall live for ever. 68. Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 795 IIFE. –FROM GOD. John 10:10. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. 27. My Sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28. And I give unto them eternal life : John 12:25. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 50. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: John 17:2. As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. Acts 13:46. Then Paul and Barnabaswaxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. 48. And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. Rom. 2:7. To them who by patient contin- uance in well doing seek for glory and hon- our and immortality, eternal life: Rom. 5:21. That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ Our Lord. Rom. 6:22. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end ever- lasting life. 23. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ Our Lord. 1 Cor. 15:53. This corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal ºvust put on immortality. 54. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 2 Cor. 5:1. For we know that, if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. Gal. 6:8. For he that Soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 1 Tim. 1:16. Howbeit for this cause I ob- tained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter be- lieve on him to life everlasting. 1 Tim. 4:8. Godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 1 Tim. 6:12. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on etermal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good pro- fession before many witnesses. U. 19. 2 Tim. 1:10. Our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: Tit. 1:2. In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; Tit. 37. Being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 1 John 2:25. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 1 John 3:15. Ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 1 John 5:11. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 20. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true; and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. Jude 21. Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Je- sus Christ unto eternal life. Rev. 1:18. I am, he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. See IMMORTALITY. FROM GOD: Gen. 2:7. The IORD GOd formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life: and man became a living Soul. Deut. 8:3. Man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. Deut. 30:20. That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, togive them. Deut. 32:39. See now that I, even I, anº he, and there is no god with me : I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither 7s there any that can deliver out of my hand. 40. For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. 1 Sam. 2:6. The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up. Job 27:3. All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; Job 34:14. If he set his heart upon man, ºf he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath ; 15. All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust. º 22:29. None can keep alive his own SOUll. Psa. 303. O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. 796 LIFE.—TONG—SPIRITUAL. Psa. 68:20. Unto GoD the Lord belong the issues from death. - Psa. 104:30. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. Eccl. 12:7. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall re- turn unto God who gave it. Isa. 38:16. O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit : So wilt thou recover me, and make me to live. 17. Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back. 18. For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. 19. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the chil- dren shall make known thy truth. 20. The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instru- ments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD. Acts 17:25. He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26. And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell On all the face of the earth, and hath deter- mined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 28. For in him we live, and move, and have our being ; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Rom. 4:17. God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 1 Tim. 6:13. I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, Jas. 4:15. For that ye ought to say, If the Tord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. LONG: See LONGEVITY. SPIRITUAL: John 3:3. Jesus answered and Said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4. Nic- Odemus Saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old 2 can he enter the sec- Ond time into his mother's womb, and be born ? 5. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I Say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter in- to the kingdom of God. 6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh ; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7. Marvel not that I Said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth : SO is every one that is born of the Spirit. , 9. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 10. Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 11. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and tes- tify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye be. lieve, if I tell you of heavenly things? 13. And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14. And as MOSes lifted up the serpent in the wilder. meSS, even SO must the Son of man be lifted up : 15. That whosoever believeth in him Should not perish, but have eternal life. 16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his Only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 5:24. Verily, verily, I say unto you, IIe that leareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation ; but is passed from death unto life. 25. Verily, Verily, I Say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 26. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; 40. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. John 6:27. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. 33. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 35. And Jesus Said unto them, I am the bread of life : he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every One which Seeth the Son, and be- lieveth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that be- lieveth on me hath everlasting life. John 10:10. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 11:25. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live : 26. And whosoever liveth and believ- eth in me shall never die. - John 14:6. Jesus Saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man com- eth unto the Father, but by me. John 17:2. As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. John 20:31. But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. Rom. 6:4. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5. For if we have 797 LIFE. LIGHT. been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 8. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him : 11. Dikewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 13. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 22. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23. For the wages of 'sin is death : but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ Our LOrd. Rom. 8:10. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 1 John 1:1. That which was from the be- ginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life : 2. (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was mani- fested unto us;) - LIGHT.

And unto his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light alway before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name there. Psa. 27:1. The LORD is my light and my Salvation ; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid 2 Psa. 119:105. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 130. The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. Prov. 6:23. For the commandment is a lamp ; and the law is light; - Eccl. 2:13. Then I saw that wisdom ex- celleth folly, as far as light excelleth dark- IlêSS, Isa. 8:20. To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it 7s because there is no light in them. Isa. 49:6. I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my sal- vation unto the end of the earth. Isa. 58:8. Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shallspring forth Speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. . Isa. 60:19. The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee; but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. 20. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon with- draw itself: for the LORD shall be thine ever- lasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. Matt. 4:16. The people which sat in dark- mess saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is Sprung up. Matt. 5:14. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. 16. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Luke 2:32. A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. Luke 11:34. The light of the body is the eye : therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Luke 16:8. And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children. Of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. John 1:4. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehend- ed it not. 7. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. John 3:19. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither com- eth to the light, lest his deeds should be re- proved. 21. But he that doeth truth Cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. : John 5:35. He was a burning and a shin- ing light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. John 8:12. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in dark- ness, but shall have the light of life. John 9:5. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. John 12:35. Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth. 36. While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them. Acts 26:18. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. - Eph. 5:8. For ye were sometimes darkness, 798 LIGHT. T.O.D. but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 14. Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. Phil. 2:15. That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse na- tion, among whom ye Shine as lights in the world; 1 Thess. 5:5. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 1 Tim. 6:16. Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can ap- proach unto; Jas. 1:17. Every good gift and every per- fect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 1 Pet. 2:9. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 2 Pet. 1:19. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that Shin- eth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the daystar arise in your hearts: 1 John 1:5. This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 7. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. Rev. 21:23. And the city had no need of the Sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it : for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

And God said unto him, Be- cause thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; 12. Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; SO that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. 13. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: So that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. 14. And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days. Job 5:26.

What doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to Serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, Deut. 11:1. Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his Statutes. Deut. 13:3. The LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all yOur Soul. Deut. 30:6.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: 6. When I remember thee upon my bed, and medi- tate on thee in the might watches. Psa. 69:35. For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession. 36.

Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joy- ful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be ac- cepted upon mine altar; - Jer. 2:2. Go and cry in the ears of Jerusa- lem, saying, Thus saith the LORD ; I re- member thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest afterme in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown. 3. Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: Mark 12:29. Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel ; The Lord Our God is one Lord: 30. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy Soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 32. And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God ; and there is none other but he: 33. To love him with all the heart, and with all the un- derstanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offer- ings and sacrifices. Matt. 22:37,38. Tuke 11:42. Ye tithe mint and rue, and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other un- done. John 5:42. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. Bom. 5:5. And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Rom. 8:28. And we know that all things sº together for good to them that love O º 1 Cor. 8:3. But if any man love God, the same is known of him. Phil. 1:9. I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment ; 2 Thess. 3:5. The Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. 2 Tim. 1:7. God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a Sound mind. 1 John 2:5. Whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 15. If any man love the world, the love of the Eather is not in him. 1 John 3:17. WhoSO hath this world's good, and Seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him ? 18. My little children, let us not love in # neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 1 John 4:12. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 16. We have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment : because as he is, so are we in this world. 18. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19. We love him, because he first loved us. 20. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not Seen ? 21. And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. 1 John 5:1. Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. 2. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his com- mandments. 3. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: 2 John 6. This is love, that we walk after his commandments. Jude 21. Keep yourselves in the love of God, OF MAN FOR JESUS: Matt. 10:37. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth Son or daughter more than me is not worthy of ne. v. 38. Matt. 25:34. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in : 36. Naked, and ye clothed me : I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Tord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee 2 or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38. When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in ? or naked, and clothed thee ? 39. Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matt. 27:55, And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him : 56. Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children. 57. When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: 58. He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 59. And when Joseph had taken the body, 802 LOVE.-OF MAN FOR JESUS. he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 60. And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock : and he rolled a great stone to the door of the Sepulchre, and departed. 61. And there was Mary Magda- lene, and the other Mary, sitting Over against the Sepulchre. Mark 9:41. Whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. Luke 2:29. Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: 30. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Luke 7:47. Her sins, which are many, are forgiven ; for she loved much : hut to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. John 8:42. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. John 14:15. If ye love me, keep my com- mandments. 21. He that hath my com- mandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me : and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 23. If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 28. . . . If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: John 15:9. As the Father hath loved me, so have Iloved you; continue ye in my love. John 16:27. The Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, John 17:26. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. John 21:17. Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Acts 21:13. I am ready not to be bound Only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. 1 Cor. 16:22. If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maran-atha. 2 Cor. 5:8. We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. [v. 6..] 14. The love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead : 15. And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. Gal. 5:6. In Jesus Christ neither circum- cision availeth any thing, nor uncircum- cision; but faith which worketh by love. 22. The fruit of the Spirit is love, Gal. 6:14. God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. Eph. 3:17. That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18. May be able to com- prehend with all Saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19. And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Eph. 4:15. Speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ : Eph. 6:24. Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Phil. 1:9. I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment ; |Phil. 1:23. For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: vs. 20,21. Phil. 3:7. What things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have Suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, Col. 1:8. Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. 2 Thess. 3:5. The Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. 2 Tim. 1:13. Hold fast the form of Sound words, . . . in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Tim. 4:8. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. Philem. 5. Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all Saints; Heb. 6:10. God is not unrighteous to for- get your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the Saints, and do min- ister. Jas. 1:12. Blessed is the man that endur- eth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Jas. 2:5. Hearkon, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him ? 1 Pet. 1:8. Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see / im, not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeak- able and full of glory: 1 Pet. 2:7. Unto you therefore which be- lieve he is precious: Rev. 2:4. Nevertheless I have somewhat ºnst thee, because thou hast left thy first OVé.

But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thy- self; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: Deut. 10:19. Tove yetherefore the stranger: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Psa. 133:1. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity | 2. It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard : that went down to the skirts of his garments; 3. As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the TORD commanded the blessing, even life for GVGI’m Ore. Prov. 10:12. Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. Prov. 15:17. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled Ox and hatred there with. Prov. 17:9. He that covereth a transgres- Sion seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. 17. A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. Song 8:6. Love is strong as death; jeal- Ousy is cruel as the grave; the coals there- of are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame. 7. Many waters cannot Quench love, neither can the floods drown it : if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be con- temned. Matt. 5:41. Whosoever shall compel theeto go a mile, go with him twain. 42. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. ^jS. 41–47. Matt. 10:41. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. 42. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water Only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, He shall in no wise lose his reward. Matt. 19:19. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Gal. 5:14. Matt. 25:34. Come, ye blessed of my Fa- ther, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a Stranger, and ye took me in: 36. Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37. Then shall the righteous an- º swer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? Or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38. When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in } or naked, and clothed thee * 39. Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee ? 40. And the King shall answer and Say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. U.S. 34–40. Mark 9:41. Whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I Say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. Mark 12:30. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first command- ment. 31. And the second is like, 77 amely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thy- self. There is none other commandment greater than these. 32. And the Scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he 33. And to love him with all the heart, and with all the under- standing, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offer- ings and sacrifices. Luke 6:31. As ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. 32. If ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. 33. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. 34. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Matt. 7:12. Iuke 10:36. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 37. And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. ^jS. 30–37. - John 13:14. If I then, your Lord and Mas- ter, have washed your feet : ye also Ought to wash one another's feet. 15. I have giv- en you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 34. A new command- ment I give unto you, That ye love one an- other; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35. By this shall all me?” know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 15:12. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. v. 17. - 804 , LOVE.-OF MAN FOR MAN. Rom. 12:9. Let love be without dissimu- lation. 10. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; Rom. 13:8. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet : and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10. Dove worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. 1 Cor. 8:1. IGnowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 1 Cor. 13:1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not char- ity, it profiteth me nothing. 4. Charity suf- fereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not ; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5. Doth not behave itself un- seemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6. Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11. When I was a child, I spake as a child: I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part ; but then shall. I know even as also I am known. 13. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. 1 Cor. 14:1. Follow after charity, 1 Cor. 16:14. Tet all your things be done with charity. 2 Cor. 8:7. Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. 8. I speak not by command- ment, but by occasion of the forwardness of £º and to prove the sincerity of your OVG. Gal. 5:13. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. 22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 26. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envy- ing One another. Eph. 5:2. Walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a Sacrifice to God for a sweetSmelling savour. Phil. 1:9. I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; Phil. 2:2. Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be like- minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. - Col. 2:2. That their hearts might be com- forted, being knit together in love, Col. 3:12. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any : even as Christ for- gave you, so also do ye. 14. Above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 1 Thess. 1:3. Remembering without ceas- ing your work of faith, and labour of love, 1 Thess. 3:12. The Lord make you to in- crease and abound in love one toward an- other, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: 1 Thess. 4:9. As touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you : for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. 1 Tim. 1:5. The end of the commandment is charity Out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned : 14. The grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 1 Tim. 2:15. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with so- briety. 1Tim. 4:12. Tet no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, 1 Tim. 6:2. They that have believing mas- fers, let them not despise them, because they are brethren: but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, par- takers of the benefit. 11. Follow after right- eousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 2 Tim. 2:22. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, Tit. 3:15. Greet them that love us in the faith. IPhilem. 12. Receive him [Onesimus], that is, mine Own bowels: 16. Not now as a “ servant, but above a servant, a brother be- loved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord? Heb. 10:24. And let us consider one an- other to provoke unto love and to good works: Jas. 2:8. If yefulfil the royal law according 805 T.O.V.E.--OF MAN FOR MAN. to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neigh- bour as thyself, ye do well: 1 Pet. 1:22. Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently : 1 Pet. 2:17. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. 1 Pet. 3:8. Be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: v. 9. 1 Pet. 4:8. Have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the mul- titude of sins. 2 Pet. 1:7. And to godliness brotherly kind- ness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 1 John 2:10. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none oc- casion of stumbling in him. vs. 9,11. 1 John 3:11. This is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 14. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not / is brother abideth in death. 16. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bow- els of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him 2 18. My little chil- dren, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 23. Love one another, as he gave us commandment. ^). 19. 1 John 4:7. Let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth GOd. 11. If God So loved us, we Ought also to love one an- other. 12. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 20. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen 2 21. And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. 1 John 5:1. Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. 2. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his command- ments. - 2 John 5. And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. N EXEMPLIFICATION OF THE LOVE OF MAN FOR MAN: Ex. 32:31. And Moses returned unto the LORD, and Said, Oh, this people have Sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. 32. Yet now, if thou wilt for- give their sin–; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, Out of thy book which thou hast writ- ten. Psa. 133:1. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity 1 vs. 2,3. Prov. 24:17. Rejoice not when thine ene- my falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: 18. Lest the LORD See it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him. Matt. 5:41. Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. Matt. 10:41. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. 42. And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water Only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, He shall in no wise lose his re- ward. * Matt. 25:34. Come, ye blessed of my Fa- ther, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world : 35. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink : I was a stranger, and ye took me in : 36. Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visit- ed me : I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hun- gred, and fed thee 3 or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38. When saw we thee a stran- ger, and took thee in 2 or naked, and clothed thee * 39. Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Ver- ily I Say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done Čt unto one of the least of these my breth- ren, ye have done it unto me... vs. 34–40. * Mark 9:41. Whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I Say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. ^ Luke 10:25. And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26. He said unto him, What is written in the law 2 how readest thou? 27. And he answer- ing said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind: and thy neighbour as thyself. 28. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 30. And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the Other side. 32. And likewise allevite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33. But a 806 - LOVE.-OF MAN FOR MAN. certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 34. And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him. On his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care Of him. 35. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him ; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 36. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 37. And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. Acts 20:26. I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27. For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God. 31. Watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every One night and day with tears. Acts 26:29. And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. Rom. 1:12. That I may be comforted to- gether with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. Rom. 5:7. Scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. Bom. 9:3. I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: vs. 1,2. Rom. 12:15. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Rom. 14:19. Follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. 21. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is Offended, or is made weak. Rom. 15:1. We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2. Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edifica- tion. 5. The God of patience and consola: tion grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 7. Re- ceive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. 14. I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish One an- Other. 15. Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in Some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God, 24. Itrust to see you in my journey, and to be brought on my way thitherward by you, if first I be somewhat filled with your company. 32. That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed. Rom. 16:1. I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cench rea: 2. That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh Saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also. 8. Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord. ... 19. Your obedience is come abroad unto all mem. I am glad therefore on your behalf: vs. 1-16; Col. 4:7. 1 Cor. 1:4. Ithank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you hy Jesus Christ ; 1 Cor. 4:14. I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn !you. 15. For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel. 16. Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. 1 Cor. 8:13. If meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. 1 Cor. 10:24. Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. - 2 Cor. 1:3. Blessed be God, . . . 4. Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we Ourselves are comforted of God. 5. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ. 6. And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: Or whether we be comforted, 7t is for your consolation and Salvation. 14. Ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are Our's in the day of the Lord Jesus. vs. 23,24. 2 Cor. 2:4. Out of much affliction and an- guish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you. vs. 1–17. -- 2 Cor. 3:2. Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 2 Cor. 4:5. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord ; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 2 Cor. 6:4. But in all things approving our- selves as the ministers of God, in much pa- tience, in afflictions, in necessities, in dis- tresses, 5. In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; 6. By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffer- ing, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, 11. O ye Corinthians, Our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. 12. Ye are not straitenedin us, but ye are strait- ened in your own bowels. 13. Now for a recompence in the same, (I Speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged. 2 Cor. 7:1. Having therefore these prom- ises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 807 LOVE.-OF MAN FOR MAN. 2. Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. 3. ISpeak not this to condemn you : for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you. 4. Great is my boldness of Speech toward you, great is my glory of you: 7. And not by his coming only, but by the consolation where with he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; SO that Irejoiced the more. 12. Though I wrote unto 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 appear unto you. 2 Cor. 11:2. I am jealous over you with godly jealousy; for I have espoused you to One husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 2 Cor. 12:14. The third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you : for I seek not your's, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the pa- rents, but the parents for the children. 15. I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly Ilove you, the less I be loved. 16. But be it so, I did not burden you : nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile. 19. We do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying. 20. For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not : 21. And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall be- wail many which have sinned already, 2 Cor. 13:9. We are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection. Gal. 4:11. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labourin vain. 12. Breth- ren, I beseech you, be as I am ; for I am as ye are : ye have not injured me at all. 13. Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. 14. And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but re- ceived me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. 15. Where is then the blessedness ye spake of ? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me. 16. Am I therefore become your enemy, because Itell you the truth? 19. My little chil- dren, of whom I travail in birth again un- til Christ be formed in you, 20. I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for I stand in doubt of you. vs. 11–20. Gal. 6:1. If a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 10. As we have therefore opportu- nity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. Eph. 3:13. I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. Eph. 4:2. With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one anotherin love; 32. Be ye kind one to another, tender- hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Eph. 6:22. Whom Ihave sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts. v. 24. Phil. 1:3. I thank my God upon every re- membrance of you, 4. Always in every prayer of mine for you all making réquest with joy, 5. For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now ; 7. I have you in my heart ; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirma- tion of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. 8. For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. 23. For I am in a strait betwixt, two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ ; which is far better : 24. Never- theless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. 25. And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; 26. That your rejoicing may be more abun- dant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again. Phil. 2:19. I trust in the Lord Jesus to Send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your State. Phil. 3:18. Many walk, of whom Ihave told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ : Phil. 4:1. My brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. Col. 1:3. We give thanks to God and the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, praying al- ways for you, 4. Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ge have to all the Saints, 24. Who now re- joice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind Of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church; 28. Whom we preach, warn- ing every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29. Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his work- ing, which worketh in me mightily. Col. 2:1. I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; 5. Though Ibe absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ. 1 Thess. 1:3. Remembering without ceas- ing your work of faith, and labour of love, andpatience of hopeim our Lord Jesus Christ, inthe sight of God and our Father; 4. Know- ing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 808 LOVE. —OF MAN FOR MAN. 1 TheSS. 2:7. We were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children: 8. So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own Souls, because ye were dear unto us. 11. Ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, 12. That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 17. We, brethren, being taken from you for a short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the more abundantly to see your face with great de- sire. 18. Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again ; but Satan hindered us. 19, What is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing 2 Are not even ye in the presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming ? 20. For ye are our glory and joy. 1 Thess. 3:5. When I could no longer for- bear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and Our labour bein vain. 7. Brethren, we were comforted over you in all our affliction and distress by your faith: 8. For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. 9. For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy where with we joy for your sakes before our God; 10. Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lack- ing in your faith? 12. The Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you : 1 Thess. 5:8. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; 11. Comfort yourselves to- gether, and edify one another, even as also ye do. 14. Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the fee- bleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. 2 Thess. 1:4. We ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribula- tions that ye endure: 1 Tim. 1:5. The end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned : 1 Tim. 5:9. Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man, 10. Well reported of for good works; if she have . . . lodged strangers, if she have washed the Saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. 1 Tim. 6:2. They that have believing mas- ters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren ; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, par- takers of the benefit. 11. Follow after right- eousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 2 Tim. 1:3. I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day; 4. Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; 8. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the tes- timony of Our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: 2 Tim. 2:10. I endure all things for the elect's Sakes, that they may also obtain the Salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. Philem. 8. Though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is con- Venient, 9. Yet for love's sake I rather be- Seech thee, being such an one as Paul Lhe aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ. 12. Whom I have sent again: thou therefore receive him, that is, mine own bowels: 16. Not now as a servant, but above a Servant, a brother beloved, specially to me, but how much more unto thee, both in the flesh, and in the Lord 2 17. If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as my- Self. 18. If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee aught, put that on mine account; 19. I Paul have written it with mine own hand, I will repay it: albeit I do not say to thee how thou owest unto me even thine own Self besides. 20. Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the Lord : refresh my bowels in the Lord. 21. Having confidence in thy obedience I wrote unto thee, knowing that thou wilt also do more than I say. Heb. 5:2. Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is com- passed with infirmity. Heb. 6:9. Beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany Salvation, though we thus speak. 10. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the Saints, and do minister. Heb. 13:1. Let brotherly love continue. 2. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby Some have entertained angels una- wares. 3. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them: &nd them which suf- fer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. 22. I beseech you, brethren, suf- fer the word of exhortation: for I have writ- ten a letter unto you in few words. Jas. 1:27.

And 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 took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. Ex. 20:17. Thou shalt not covet thy neigh- bour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neigh- bour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his aSS, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. Job 31:9. If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door; 10. Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her. 11. For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges. 12. For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase. Psa. 81:12. So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their Own Counsels. Prov. 6:24. To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a Strange woman. 25. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. Matt. 5:28. But I say unto you, That who- SOever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Mark 4:19. And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. John 8:44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. 1 Cor. 9:27. But I keep under my body, 810 LUST. MAASEIAH. and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. 1 Cor. 10:6. Now these things were our ex- amples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. 7. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play. Eph. 4:22. That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 1 Tim. 6:9. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a Snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 2 Tim. 2:22. Flee also youthful lusts: 2 Tim. 4:3. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine : but after their ownlusts shall they heap to them- Selves teachers, having itching cars; 4. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. Tit. 2:12. Teaching us that, denying un- godliness and worldly lusts, we should live SOberly, righteously, and godly, in this pres- ent world; Jas. 1:14. But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and en- ticed. 15. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is fin- ished, bringeth forth death. Jas. 4:1. From whence come wars, and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your mem- bers ? 2. Ye lust, and have not : ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 1 Pet. 2:11. T)early beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 1 Pet. 4:3. For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lascivious- mess, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, ban- Quetings, and abominable idolatries: 2 Pet. 2:18. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through match wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 2 Pet. 3:3. Inowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their Own lusts, 1 John 2:16. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17. And the world pass- eth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will Of God abideth for ever. Jude 16. These are murmurers, complain- ers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, hav- ing men's persons in admiration because of advantage. 18. How that they told youthere should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. See ADULTERY: COVETOUSNEss; INCEST: LASCIVIOUSNESS; SENSUALITY ; SODOMY. LYCAONIA.

For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter: 33.

And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them : wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow % set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master. Job 31:29. If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him : 30. Neither have I Suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a Curse to his Soul. Psa. 4:2. O ye sons of men, how long will gye turn my glory into shame? Psa. 7:14. He travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. 15.

Psa. 10:7. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. 8. He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent : his eyes are privily set against the poor. 9. He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den : he lieth in wait to catch the poor : he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. 10. He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. 14. Thou hast seen it, for thou be- holdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: BSa. 21:11. They intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform. Psa. 22:7: All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, 8. He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him : let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. Psa. 35:15. But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: gea, the abjects gathered themselves to- gether against me, and I knew it not ; they did tear me, and ceased not: 16. With hypo- critical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth. 19. Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice Over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. 20. For they speak not peace: but they devise de- ceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land. 21. Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and Said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it. Psa. 38:16. For I said, Hedº me, lest other- wise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. 19. Mine enemies are lively, 813 MALICE, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied. Psa. 41:5. Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish Ż 6. And if he COme to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to it- self; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. 7.

They cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me. 10. Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it. 11. Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets. Psa. 56.5. Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. 6. They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul. Psa. 57:4. My Soul is among lions: and I lie ever, among them that are set on fire, even the Sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp Sword. 6. They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Psa. 59:3. Lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. 4. They run and prepare themselves without my fault: 6. They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city....7. Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear 2 |Psa. 62:3. How long will ye imagine mis- chief against a man? ye shall be slain all of you : as a bowing wall shall ye be, and as a tottering fence. 4. They only consult to cast him down from his excellency: they delight in lies: they bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly. Psa. 64:2. Hide me from the Secret COun- sel of the wicked ; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: 3. Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: 4. That they may shoot in secret at the per- fect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. 5. They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying Snares privily ; they say, Who shall see them 7 6. They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search : both the in- ward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep. - Psa. 69:4. They that hate me without a CauSe are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: 10. When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. 11. I made Sack- cloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them. 12. They that sit in the gate speak against me ; and I was the Song of the drunkards. 26. They persecute him. whom thou hast smitten ; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. Psa. 70.2. Let them be ashamed and Con- founded that seek after my Soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. 3. Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha. - Psa. 71:10. Mine enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together, 11. Saying, God hath for- Saken him: persecute and take him; for there is none to deliver him. vs. 13,24. Psa. 74:20. The dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. Psa. 86:14. O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent nven have Sought after my soul; - Psa. 102:8. Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me. - Psa. 109:2. For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. 3. They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. 4. For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer. 5. And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. 16. Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart. 17. As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. 18. As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. Psa. 119:150. They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law. Q). 78. Psa. 140:1. Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man: preserve me from the violent man; 2. Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually are they gathered to: gether for war. 3. They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent ; adders' poison Žs under their lips. Selah. . 4. Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; pre- serve me from the violent man; who have purposed to overthrow my goings. Prov. 4:16. They sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause Some to fall. 17. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. Prov. 6:14. Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. 15. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. 18. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in 814 MALICE. running to mischief, 19. A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that Soweth dis- cord among brethren. v. 16. Prov. 10:6. Violence COvereth the mouth of the wicked. 12. Hatred stirreth up strifes: Prov. 11:17. He that is cruel troubleth his Own flesh. Prov. 12:10. The tender mercies Of the wicked are cruel. Prov. 14:17. A man of wicked devices is hated. 22. Do they not err that devise evil? Prov. 15:17. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled Ox and hatred there with. Prov. 16:30. He shutteth his eyes to de- vise froward things: moving his lips he bringoth evil to pass. Brov. 17:5. Whoso mocketh the poor re- proacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. Prov. 20:22. Say not thou, I will recom- pense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee. Prov. 21:10. The SOul Of the wicked de- sireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes. Prov. 24:8. He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person. 17. Re- joice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: 18. Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him. 29. Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man ac- cording to his work. Prov. 26:2. As the bird by wandering, . so the curse causeless shall not come. 27. Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and #. that rolleth a stone, it will return upon IIIl. Prov. 28:10. Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit : IProv. 30:14. There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men. Isa. 29:20. For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the Scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off: 21. That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nought. Isa. 32:6. The vile person will speak vil- lany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the Soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. Isa. 59:4. None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. 5. They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web : he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. 6. Their webs shall not become garments, nei- ther shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. Q). 7. Jer. 20:10. I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. ... Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Beradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him. Lam. 4:3. Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young Ones: the daughter of my people is become Crilel, like the Ostriches in the wilderness. 4. The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst : the young children ask bread, and no man breaketh it unto them. Ezek. 18:18. Because he cruelly oppressed, Spoiled his brother by violence and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity. Ezek. 25:3. And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the word of the Lord GOD: Thus Saith the Lord GOD: Because thou saidst, Aha, against my Sanctuary, when it was profaned; and against the land of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the house of Judah, when they went into captivity; 6. Because thou hast clapped th??ve hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel; 7. Behold, therefore I will stretch Out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen ; 12. Thus saith the . | Lord GOD: Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself upon them; 15. Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge, and have taken vengeance with a despiteful heart, to destroy it for the old hatred; 17. I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; Ezek. 26.2. Because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste: 3. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up. Amos 1:11. Thus saith the LORD ; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment there- of; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever: Mic. 2:1. Woe to them that devise in- iquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, be- cause it is in the power of their hand. Zech. 8:17. Let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD. Zech. 7:10. 815 MALICE. Matt. 5:38. Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39. But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall Smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the Other also. 40. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41. And whoso- ever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Luke 6:29. Matt. 6:15. If ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matt. 18:28. But the same servant went Out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, Saying, Pay me that thou owest. 29. And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and beSought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. 30. And he would not : but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. 31. So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very Sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done. 32. Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I for- gave thee all that debt, because thou desir- edst me: 33. Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 34. And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. 35. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every One his brother their trespasses. Matt. 26:52. All they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Mark 15:10. For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy. John 8:44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he Speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 18:22. And when he had thus spoken, One of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, An- Swerest thou the high priest so? 23. If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why Smitest thou me? Acts 23:12. And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. 13. And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy. 14. And they came to the chief priests and elders, and Said, 'We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul. Rom. 1:29. Being filled with all unright- eOusness, fornication, wickedness, covetous- ness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30. Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobe- dient to parents, 31. Without understand- ing, covenantbreakers, without natural af- fection, implacable, unmerciful: 32. Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but hath pleas- ure in them that do them. Rom. 12:19. Avenge not yourselves, but father give place unto wrath; for it is writ- ten, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 1 Cor. 5:8. Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the un- leavened bread of sincerity and truth. 1 Cor. 14:20. Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. Gal. 5:19. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these, Adultery, forni- cation, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20. Idol- atry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emula- tions, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21. Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revel- lings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not in- herit the kingdom of God. Eph. 4:31. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice : Phil. 1:15. Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: 16. The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, Supposing to add affliction to my bonds: Col. 3:8. But now ye also put off all these; anger, Wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy Communication out of your mouth. 1 TheSS. 5:15. See that none render evil for evil unto any man; Tit. 3:3. We ourselves also were sometimes . . . ; living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. Jas. 1:21. Wherefore lay apart all filthi- neSS and superfluity of naughtiness, and re- ceive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. Jas. 2:13. He shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy: 1 Pet. 2:1. Wherefore laying aside all mal- ice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and en- vies, and all evil speakings, . 1 Pet. 3:9. Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: 1 John 2:9. He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 11. He that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. 1 John 3:10. In this the children of Godare manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 13. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world 816 MALICE. MAN. hate you. 14. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 15. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 1 John 4:20. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen 2 3 John 10. Wherefore, if I come, I will re- member his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content there with, neither doth he himself re- ceive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.

CREATED: Gen. Í:26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our like- ness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and Over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Gen. 2:7. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man be- came a living Soul. Gen. 5:1. This is the book of the genera- tions of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; 2. Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. Deut. 4:32. For ask now of the days that are passed, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, Or hath been heard like it 3 Job 4:17. Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker? Job 10:2. I will say unto God, Do not con- demn me; shew me wherefore thou contend- est with me. 3. Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked ? 8. Thine hands have made me and fashioned me to- gether round about; yet thou dost destroy me. 9. Reineiuber, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again? Job 31:15. Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb 2 Job 33:4. The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. Job 34:19. How much less to him that ac- cepteth not the persons of princes, nor re- gardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands. Job 35:10. But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth Songs in the night; Psa. 8:5. For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. g Psa. 100:3. Know ye that the LORD he is 817 MAN.—CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD–DESIGN OF CREATION OF-DOMINION OF. God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Tºsa. 119:73. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: Psa. 138:8. The LORD will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O LORD, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands. Psa. 139:14. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvel- lous are thy works; and that my Soul know- eth right well. Eccl. 7:29. LO, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; Isa. 17:7. At that day shall a man look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel. Isa. 42:5. Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh Out of it ; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: Isa. 43.7. Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my fºy, I have formed him; yea, I have made 1IIYl. Isa. 45:12. I have made the earth, and cre- ated man upon it : I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. Isa. 64:8. But now, O LORD, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our pot- ter; and we all are the work of thy hand. Jer. 27:5. I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me. Zech. 12:1. The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. Mal. 2:10. Have we not all One father ? hath not one God created us? Mark 10:6. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. Heb. 2:7. Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him. Over the works of thy hands: See CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, below. CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD: Gen. 1:26. And God Said, Let us make man in Our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the Sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Gen. 9.6. Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in theimage of God made he man. Eccl. 7:29. Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have Sought out many inventions. 1 Cor. 11:7. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. - 1 Cor. 15:48. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy : and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heav- enly. 49. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Jas. 3:9. There with bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. DESIGN OF THE CREATION OF : Psa. 8:6. Thou madest him to have dominion over the Works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet : 7. All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8. The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatso- ever passeth through the paths of the seas. Prov. 16:4. The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Isa. 43:7. Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, º DOMINION OF: Gen. 1:26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion Over the fish of the sea, and Over the fowl of the air, and Over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 28. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it : and have dominion Over the fish of the Sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Gen. 2:19. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 20. And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a help meet for him. Gen. 9:2. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered. 3. Every moving thing that fiveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. Jer. 27:6. And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him. Jer. 28:14. Dan. 2:38. And wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he given into thine 818 MAN.--DUTY OF-EQUALITY OF-INSIGNIFICANCE OF. hand, and hath made thee ruler Over them all. Heb. 2:7. Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him. Over the works of thy hands: 8. Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. DUTY OF: See DUTY ; NEIGHBOR. EQUALITY OF; Job 31:13. If I did de- spise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me : 14. What then shall I do when God riseth up 2 and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him ? 15. Did not he that made me in the womb make him 7 and did not one fashion us in the womb 3 |Psa. 33:13. The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men. 14. From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. 15. He fash- ioneth their hearts alike ; he considereth all their works. Prov. 22:2. The rich and poor meet to- ºther: the LORD is the maker of them all. Matt. 20:25. But Jesus called them ºnto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. 26. But it shall not be SO among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27. And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: 28. Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Matt. 23:8. But be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 11. But he that is great- est among you shall be your servant. Mark 10:42. But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gen- tiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. 43. But so shall it not be among you; but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: 44. And whosoever of .* will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. Acts 10:28. And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man Common or unclean. Act 17:26. And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell. On all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation ; Gal. 3:28. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. See RACE, UNITY OF. IGNORANCE OF: See IGNORANCE, IMMORTAL : See IMMORTALITY, INSIGNIFICANCE OF; Job 4:18. Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his an- gels he charged with folly: 19. How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth ? - Job 15:14. What is man, that he should be clean 2 and Jºe which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? Job 22:2. Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself? 3. Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous' or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways per- fect? 4. Will he reprove thee for fear of thee ? Will he enter with thee into judg- ment ? 5. Is not thy wickedness great 3 and thine iniquities infinite? Job 25:4. How then can man be justified with God 3 or how can he be clean that is born of a woman? 5. Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not ; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight. 6. How much less man, that is a worm ? and the son of man, which is a worm ? Job 35:2. Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? 3. For thou saidst, What ad- vantage will it be unto thee ? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin' 4. I will answer thee, and thy compan- ions with thee. 5. Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. 6. If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him 3 or ºf thy trans- gressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him ? 7. If thou be righteous, what givest thou him 2 or what receiveth he of thine hand 7 8. Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness 7may profit the Son of man. Job 38:4. Where wast, thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 12. Hast thou com- manded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place; 13. That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken Out of it. Psa. 8:3. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast Ordained ; 4. What is man, that thou art mindful of him ? and the son of man, that thou visitest him ? Psa. 144:3. LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him ' or the Son of man, that thou makest account of him 4. Man is like to vanity: his days are as a Shadow that passeth away. LITTLE LOWER THAN THE ANGELS : Job 4:18. Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly: 19. How much less in them that 819 MAN.—MoRTAL–SPIRIT. dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth 2 20. They are destroyed from morn- ing to evening: they perish for ever with- out any regarding it. 21. Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom. - Psa. 8:5. For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Heb. 2:7. Thou madest him a little lower than the angels: thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 8. Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. #: now we see not yet all things put under 1IYl. MORTAL: Job 4:17. Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker ? H]ccl. 2:14. The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that One event happeneth to them all. 15. Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity. Eccl. 3:20. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. 1 Cor. 15:21. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Heb. 9:27. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judg- ment : See T)EATH. SPIRIT: Job 4:19. Them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth ? Job. 32:8. But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. Psa. 31:5. Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God Of truth. Prov. 20:27. The spirit of man is the Candle of the LORD, Eccl. 1:8. The eye is not satisfied with see- ing, nor the ear filled with hearing. Eccl. 3:21. Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth ? Eccl. 12:7. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall re- turn unto God who gave it. Isa. 26:9. With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early : for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabit- ants of the world will learn righteous- IlêSS. Zech. 12:1. The burden of the word Of the LORD for Israel, Saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. Matt. 4:4. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matt. 10:28. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matt. 26:41. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. Mark 14:38; Luke 22:40. Luke 23:46. And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit : and having Said thus, he gave up the ghost. Luke 24:39. For a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. John 3:3. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4. Nicodemus Saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old 3 can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born ? 5. Jesus an- Swered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Ex- cept a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6. That which is born Of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: So is every One that is born of the Spirit. - John 4:24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Acts 7:59. And they stoned Stephen, call- ing upon God, and saying. Lord Jesus, re- ceive my spirit. Rom. 1:9. For God is my witness, whom I Serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; Rom. 2:29. But he is a Jew, 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. Rom. 7:14. For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, Sold under sin. 15. For that which I do, I allow not : for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is pres- ent with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19. For the good that I would, I do not : but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21. I find then a law, that, 820 MAN. MANNA. when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23. But I See an- other law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24. O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25. I thank God through Jesus Christ Our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. 1 Cor. 2:11. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the Spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 1 Cor. 6:20. Glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Cor. 7:34. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: 1 Cor. 14:14. For if I pray in an unknow? tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my under- standing is unfruitful. 2 Cor. 4:6. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in Our hearts, to give the light of the knowl- edge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, 16. For which caues we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 2 Cor. 5:1. For we know that if our earth- ly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 3. If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 4. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be un- clothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 5. Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 6. Therefore ºpe are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the LOrd: 7. (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8. We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 9. Where- fore we labour, that, whether present or ab- sent, we may be accepted of him. |Eph. 3:16. That he would grant you, ac- cording to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; Eph. 4:4. There is one body, and One Spirit, even as ye are called in One hope of your calling ; 1 Thess. 5:23. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly ; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Heb. 4:12. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two- edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of Soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Jas. 2:26. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. STATE OF, AFTER THE FALL: See DEPRAVITY. STATE OF, BEFORE THE FALL: See above, CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.

And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. 17. If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins. Lev. 18; 6. None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD. 7.

The nakedness of thy fa- ther's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness. [Deut. 22:30.] 9. The nakedness of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether She be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover. 10.

Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, thoushalt not approach to his wife: she is thine aunt. 15. Thou shalt not un- cover the nakedness of thy daughter in law : she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 16. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's nakedness. 17. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter; neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen: it is wickedness. 18. Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to uncover her nakedness, be- side the Other in her life time. Lev. 20:14. And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they ; that there be no wickedness among you. 17. And if a man shall take his sister, his fa- ther's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness: he shall bear his iniquity. 19. And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother'ssister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his mear kin: they shall bear their iniquity. 20. And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless. 21. And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his ºthers nakedness; they shall be child- €SS. Tev. 21:1. And the TORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, 7. They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God. 13. And he shall take a wife in her virgin- ity. 14. A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife. 15. Neither shall he profane his Seed among his people: for I the LORD do Sanctify him. Num. 36:8. And every daughter, that pos- SeSSeth an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, shall be wife unto one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the children of Israel may enjoy every man the inheritance of his fathers. Deut. 21:10. When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the LORD thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive, 11. And Seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou would- est have her to thy wife; 12. Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house; and She shall shave her head, and pare her nails; 13. And she shall put the rainment of her captivity from off her, and shall re- main in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month : and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife. 14. And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her. Deut. 24:1. When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. 2. And when she is departed Out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife. 3. And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorce- ment, and giveth it in her hand, and send- eth her out of his house : Or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; 4. Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abom- ination before the LORD : and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. 5. When a man hath taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he hath taken. Prov. 18:22. Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD. |Prov. 21:9.

I will even betroth thee unto me in faithful- ness: and thou shalt know the LORD. Mal. 2:13. And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with Crying Out, insO- much that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand. 14. Yet ye say, Wherefore ? Be- cause the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy COV- enant. 15. And did not he make One 2 Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And where- fore one? That he might seek a godly Seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. 16. For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away : for one covereth violence with his garment, Saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacher- ously. Matt. 5:31. It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32. But I Say un- to you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and who- soever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Mark 6:17. For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife : for he had married her. 18. |For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife. Mark 10:2. And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? tempting him. 3. And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you? 4. And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of di- vorcement, and to put her away. 5. And Jesus answered and Said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 6. But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and fe- male. 7. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8. And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but One flesh. 9. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 10. And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter. 11. And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. 12. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to anoth- er, she committeth adultery. Matt. 19:2–9. Duke 16:18. Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. Pom. 7:1. Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion Over a man as long as he liveth ? 2. For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her hus- band so long as he liveth; but if the hus- band be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3. So then if, while her hus- band liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 1 Cor. 7:1. Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2. Neverthe- less, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 3. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 4. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the hus- band hath not power of his own body, but the wife. 5. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. 6. But I speak this by permission, and not of Com- mandment. 7. For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. 8. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. 9. But if they cannot contain, let them marry : for it is better to marry than to burn. 10. And unto the married I com- mand, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11. But and if she depart, let her remain unmar- ried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. 12. But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 13. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 14. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the hus- band: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. , 15. But if the unbe- lieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in Such cases : but God hath called us to peace. 16. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how know- est thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? 17. But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches. 18. Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircum- cised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. 19. Circumcision 824 MARRIAGE. MARTYRDOM. is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. 20. Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. 21, Art, thou called being a servant 2 care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. 22. For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant. 23. Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. 24. Breth- ren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God. 25. Now concern- ing virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as One that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. 26. I suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, I say, that £t is good for a man so to be. 27. Art, thou bound unto a wife? Seek not to be loosed. Art, thou loosed from a wife? Seek not a wife. 28. But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you, 29. But this I say, brethren, the time is short : it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; 30. And they that weep, as though they wept not ; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not ; 31. And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fash- ion of this world passeth away. 32. But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: 33. But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. 34. There is differ- ence also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 35. And this I Speak for your own profit ; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Tord without distraction. 36. But if any man think that he behaveth himself un- comely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not : let them marry. 37. Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. 38. So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better. 39. The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her hus- band be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. 40. But she is happier if she so abide, after my judg- º à and I think also that I have the Spirit OI UTOCl. 1 Cor. 9:5. Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apos- tles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas } 1 Cor. 11:11. Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. 12. For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. 1 Tim. 3:2. A bishop then must be blame- less, the husband of one wife, 12. Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 1 Tim. 4:1. Now the Spirit speaketh ex- pressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to Se- ducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 3. Forbidding to marry, 1 Tim. 5:14. Iwill therefore that the young- er women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. Heb. 13:4. Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled : but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. - FIGURATIVE: Isa. 54:5; 62:4,5; Jer. 3: 14; 31:32; Hos. 1:2; 2:19,20; Eph. 5:30–32; Rev. 19:7–9.

And white robes were given unto every one of them : and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow- servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 10. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. 11. And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. 12.

My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue, Psa. 49:3. My mouth shall speak of wis- dom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. Psa. 63:5. My Soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: 6. When I remember thee upon my bed, and medi- tate on thee in the might watches. Psa. 73:12. Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. 13. Verily I have cleansed my heart 277 vain, and washed my hands in innocency. 14. For all the day long have Ibeen plagued, and chastened every morning. 15. If I Say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children. 16. When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; , 17. Until I went into the sanctuary of God: then understood I their end. 18. Surely thou didst set them in slip- pery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. 19. How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment they are utterly consumed with terrors. 20. As a dream when one awaketh ; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. 829 MEDITATION. MEEKNFSS. 21. Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. 22. So foolish was I, and ignorant : Psa. 77:10. And I said, This is my infirm- ity : but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. 11. I will re- member the works of the LORD : surely I will remember thy wonders of old. 12. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. Psa. 104:34. My meditation of him shall be sweet : I will be glad in the LORD. Psa. 119:11. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. 15. I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. 16. I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. 23. Princes also did sit and speak against me: bºtt thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. 48. My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved ; and I will meditate in thy statutes. 55. I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law. 59. I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. 78. Let the proud be ashamed ; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts. 97. O how love I thy law it is my meditation all the day. 98. Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: 99. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 148. Mine eyes prevent the 7-ight watches, that I might meditate in thy word. Psa. 139:17. How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them 18. If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand : when I awake, I am still with thee. Psa. 143:5. I remember the days of old; I meditate on all thy works; I muse on the work of thy hands. 1 Tim. 4:13. Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 14. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the lay- ing on of the hands of the presbytery. 15. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may ap- pear to all. INSTANCE OF: Isaac, Gen. 24:63. MEDITERRANEAN SEA.

He that is slow to wrath is of great understanding: Prov. 15:1. A soft answer turneth away Wrath: 18. He that is slow to anger appeas- eth strife. Prov. 16:32. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. Prov. 17:1. Better is a dry morsel, and quietness there with, than an house full of sacrifices with strife. Prov. 19:11. The discretion of a man de- ferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass Over a transgression. Prov. 20:3. It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: Prov. 25:15.

He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him. 29. He putteth his mouth in the dust; if so be there may be hope. 30. He giveth his cheek to him that Smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach. - Amos 3:3. Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Zeph. 2:3. Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judg- ment: Seek righteousness, seek meekness: Matt. 5:5. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 9. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 38. Ye have heard that it hath been Said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth : 39. But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall Smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. [Luke 6:29.] 41. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a 830 MEEKNESS. mile, go with him twain. 42.

One with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer your- selves to be defrauded ? ... - 1 Cor. 7:15. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. 1 Cor. 10:32. Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of GOd: 1 Cor. 13:4. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not ; charity vaunt- eth not itself, is not puffed up, 5.

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation where with ye are called, 2. With all lowliness and meekness, with long- Suffering, forbearing one another in love; Phil. 2:14. Do all things without murmur- ings and disputings: 15. That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye Shine as lights in the world; - Col. 3:12. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a Quarrel against any : even as Christ for- gave you, so also do ye. 1 Thess. 5:14. Now we exhort you, breth- ren, . . . be patient toward all men. 15. See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 2 Thess. 3:5. The Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. 1 Tim. 3:2.

Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but pa- tient, not a brawler, not covetous; 1 Tim. 6:11. Follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 12. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 2 Tim. 2:24. The servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all me?”, apt to teach, patient, 25. In meekness instruct- ing those that oppose themselves; Tit. 2:2. That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in pa- tience. 9. Eachort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them. well in all things; not answering again; Tit. 3:2. To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. - Heb. 10:36. Ye have need of patience, that, after ye have dome the will of God, ye might receive the promise. Heb. 12:14. Follow peace with all men, Jas. 1:4. Let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 19. Wherefore, my be- loved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 21. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and Super- fluity of naughtiness, and receive with meek- ness the engrafted word, which is able to save your Souls. Jas. 3:13. Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you ? let him. Shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 17. The Wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. 1 Pet. 2:18. Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. 19. For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience 881 MEEKNESS. toward God endure grief, suffering wrong- fully. 20. For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently 3 but if, when ye do well, and suf- fer for it, ye take it patiently, this is ac- ceptable with God. 21. For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22. Who did no sin, nei- ther was guile found in his mouth : 23. Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not : but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously : - - tºy 1 Pet. 3:4. But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 11. Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 15. Be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear : Psa. 34:14. - 2 Pet. 1:5. And beside this, giving all dili- gence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6. And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7. And to godli- ness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. - Jude 9.

Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth ; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. 2. He shall not cry, nor lift up, 28 nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. 3. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the Smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. 4.

And, behold, One of them which were with Jesus stretched Out his hand, and drew his sword, and Struck a servant of the high priest's, and Smote off his ear. 52. Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. 53.

The IORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. - Gen. 27:39. And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and the dew of heaven from above ; Job 9:7. Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not ; and Sealeth up the stars. Job 26:7. He stretcheth Out the north Over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing. 8. He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. 11. The pillars of heaven trem- ble and are astonished at his reproof. Job 27:20. Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night. 21. The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth : and as a storm hurleth him out of his place. Job 28:24. For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heav- en; 25. To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure. 26. When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder: 27. Then did he see it, and declare it ; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out. Job 29:19. The dew lay all night upon my branch. Job 36:27. For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof; 28. Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly. 29. Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle % 30. Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea. 31. For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance. 32. With clouds' he covereth the light ; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt, 33. . The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour. Job 37:6. For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. 7. He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. 8. Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. 9. Out of the south cometh the whirlwind; and cold Out of the north. 10. By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened. 11. Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: 12. And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. 13. He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. 14. Hearken unto this, O Job : stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. 15. Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to Shine? 16. Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge $ 17. How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the South wind? 18. Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? 19. Teach us what we shall say unto him ; for we cannot order ontº speech by reason of darkness. 20. Shall it be told him that I Speak 2 if a man speak, Surely he shall be Swallowed up. 21. And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. 22. Fair weather cometh Out of the north : with. God is terrible majesty. Job 38:9. When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, [with vs. 8–11.] 22. Hast thou entered into the treasures of the Snow 2 or hast thou seen the treas- ures of the hail, 24. By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth ? 25. Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; 26. To cause it to rain on the earth where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; 27. To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; 28. Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew 7 29. Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it 2 31. Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion ? 32. Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season ? Or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? 33. Knowest thou the Ordinances of heaven? Canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth ? 34. Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? 35. Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are * 37. Who can number the clouds in wisdom ? Or who can stay the bottles of heaven, Psa. 18:8. There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth de- voured : coals were kindled by it. 9. He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. 10. And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. 11. He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 12. At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire. 13. The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the High- est gave his voice; hail stones and Coals of fire. 14. Yea, he sent out his arrows, and Scattered them ; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. 15. Then the chan- nels of waters were seen, and the founda- tions of the world were discovered at thy 835 METEOROI,()(;Y AND CELESTIAL PHENOMENA rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. Psa. 19:2. Day unto day uttereth Speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 4. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, 5. Which is as a bridegroom coming Out of his cham- ber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 6. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it : and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. Psa. 29:3. The voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth : the LORD is upon many waters. 4. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty. 5. The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. 6. He maketh them also to skip like a calf ; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. 7. The voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire. 8. The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness; the LORD shaketh the wil- derness of Kadesh. 9. The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve, and dis- covereth the forests: and in his temple doth every one speak of his glory. 10. The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. --- . Psa. 65.8. They also that dwell in the ut- termost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice. 9. Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it : thou greatly enrich- est it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it. 10. Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly : thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou mak- est it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof. 11. Thou crownest the vear with thy goodness; and thy paths Örop fatness. 12. They drop upon the pas- tures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. - Psa. 104:2. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment : who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: 3. Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot : who walketh upon the wings of the wind : 7. At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. 13. He water- eth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. 19. He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. 20. Thou makest darkness, and it is night: Psa. 147:7. Sing unto the IORD with thanksgiving ; sing praise upon the harp unto Our God : 8. Who COvereth the heav- en with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, Psa. 148:7. Praise the LORD from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps: 8. Fire, and hail; Snow, and vapour; Stormy wind fulfilling his word: Prov. 25.23. The north wind driveth away Tal]] : Prov. 26:1. As snow in Summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool. Prov. 30:4. Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended ? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment 3 who hath established all the ends of the earth & what is his name, and what is his Son's name, if thou canst tell? Eccl. 1:6. The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north ; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. 7. All the rivers run into the Sea ; yet the sea is not full: unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. Eccl. 11:3. If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth : Isa. 5:5. And now go to ; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up ; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down : 6. And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. Isa. 13:13. Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the LORD of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. Isa. 24:18. For the windows from on high are Open, and the foundations of the earth do shake. Isa. 50:3. I clothe the heavens with black- ness, and I make sackcloth their covering. Jer. 4:11. At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse, 12. Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them. Jer. 10:13. When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heav- ens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh light- nings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind Out of his treasures. Jer. 51:16. When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heav- ens; and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth: he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. . Dan. 2:21. And he changeth the times and the seasons: Hos. 6:4. O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee ? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee ? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. Hos. 8:7. For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: 836 METEOROLOGY AND CELESTIAL PHENOMENA. Hos. 13:15. Though he be fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up ; Joel 2:30. And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day Of the LORD come. Amos 9:6. It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth : he that calleth for the waters of the Sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth : The LORD is his name. Nah. 1:3. The LORD hat/, his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. Matt. 8:24. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the Sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 25. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 26. And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith ? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the Sea; and there was a great calm. 27. But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him Luke 8:24,25. Matt. 16:2. He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather : for the sky is red. 3. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypo- crites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? Matt. 24:27. For as the lightning cometh Out of the east, and shineth even unto the west : So shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 29. Immediately after the tribula- tion of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken : Matt. 27:45. Now from the sixth hourthere was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour. Luke 23:44,45. Luke 12:54. And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway yesay, There cometh a shower; and so it is. 55. And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat ; and it cometh to pass. 56. Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth: but how is it that ye do not discern this time? Luke 21:25. And there shall be signs in the Sun, and in the moon, and in the stars: John 3:8. The wind bloweth where it list- eth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but Canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: . Acts 2:19. And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth be- neath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 20. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: Jas. 5:17. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain : and it rained not on the earth by the Space of three years and six months. 18. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. 2 Pet. 2:17. These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest : to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for €VGI’. Jude 12. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear : clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; Rev. 6:12. And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13. And the stars of heav- en fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. . IRev. 7:1. And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the Sea, nor on any tree. Rev. 8:5. And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake. 7. The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. 10. And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; 12. And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise. IRev. 9:1. And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. 2. And he opened the bot- tomless pit; and there arose a Smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. Tev. 11:6. These have power to shutheaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. Rev. 16:21. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed 837 METEORO L() (; Y. MII) IANITES.

But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create: for, behold, I create Jeru- Salem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. 19. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people; and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. 20. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sin- ner being an hundred years old shall be ac- cursed. 24. And they shall build houses, and inhabit them, and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 22. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat; for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 23. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. ... 24. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. 25. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. . They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, Saith the LORD. Zeph. 3:11. In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain. 12. I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD. i3. The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. Zech. 9:9. Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: be- hold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and rid- ing upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. 10. And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusa; lem, and the battle bow shall be cut Off: and he shall speak }% unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from Sea even to Sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth. Zech. 14:16. And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship, the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. 17. And it shall be, that who- so will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them 839 MILLENNIUM. MINISTER. shall be no rain. 18. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, where- with the LORD will Smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of taber- nacles. 19. This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of taber- nacles. 20. In that day there shall be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD ; and the pots in the LORD's house shall be like the bowls before the altar. 21. Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and Seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts. Matt. 16:18. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matt. 26:29. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. Mark 14:25. Heb. 8:11. And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. Rev. 14:6. And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Rev. 20:1. And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottom- less pit and a great chain in his hand. 2. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a Seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thou- sand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 4. And I Saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the Souls of them that were be- headed for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not wor- shipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their fore- heads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: On such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. vs. 7–15.

And tâke thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest's Office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's Sons. Num. 3:5. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 6. Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him. 7. And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the Service of the tabernacle. 8. And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle. 9. And thou shalt give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of the chil- dren of Israel. 10. And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death. 11. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 12. And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine : 13. Because all the firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Is- rael, both man and beast : mine shall they be : I am the LORD. 1 Sam. 3:4. The LORD called Samuel : and he answered, Here am T. 5. And he ran unto Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou calledst me. And he said, I called not ; lie down again. And he went and lay down. 6. And the LORD called yet again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And he answered, I called not, my Son ; lie down again. 7. Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him. , 8. And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the LORD had called the child. 9. Therefore Eli said unto Sam- uel, Go, lie down : and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, LORD ; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 10. And the LORD came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel an- swered, Speak; for thy servant heareth. 1 Kin. 19:16. Elisha the son of Shaphat of 841 MINISTER.—(JAf,T, OR Abel-meholah shalt thouanoint to be prophet in thy room. and found Elisha the Son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of Oaten be: fore him, and he with the twelfth : and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 1 Chr. 23:13. Aaron was separated, that he should sanctify the most holy things, he and his sons for ever, to burn incense be- fore the LORD, to minister unto him, and to bless in his name for ever. Isa. 6:8. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I Send, and who will go for us 2 Then said I, Here am I; send me. 9. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not : and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. Jer. 1:5. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Amos 2:11. And I raised up of your Sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye chil- dren of Israel ? Saith the LORD. Jonah 1:1. Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the Son of Amittai, Say- ing, 2. Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it ; for their wicked- ness is come up before me. chapter 3:1,2. Matt. 4:18. And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, cast- ing a net into the sea; for they were fishers. 19. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20. And they straightway left their nets, and fol- lowed him. 21. And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22. And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him. Mark 1:17–20. - Matt. 9:9. And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sit- ting at the receipt of custom ; and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him. Mark 2:14. Luke 10:1. After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. 2. Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few : pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. John 1:43. The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and Saith unto him, Follow me. Acts 13:2. As they ministered to the Tord, 19. So he departed thence, and fasted, the Holy Ghost Said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work where- unto I have called them. 3. And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. Acts 20:24. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto my- self, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have re- ceived of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gos- pel of the grace of God. Acts 22:12. And One Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good re- port of all the Jews which dwelt there, 13. Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him. 14. And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and See that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth. 15. For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard. Acts 26:14. And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and Saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 15. And I said, Who art thou, Lord & And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. 16. But rise, and stand upon thy feet : for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; 17. Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I Send thee. , 18. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Rom. 1:1. Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, Rom. 10:14. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed ? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard 2 and how shall they hear without a preacher ? 15. And how shall they preach, except they be sent ? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 1 Cor. 1:1. Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, [2 Cor. 1:1: Col. 1:1.] 27. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty ; 28. And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 1 Cor. 9:16. For though I preach the gos- gel, I have nothing to glory of: for neces- 842 MINISTER.—CHARACTER AND QUALIFICATIONS OF. sity is laid upon me ; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospell 17. For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, a dispensation of the gos- pe! is committed unto me. 18. What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. 19. For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. 2 Cor. 5:18. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation ; 19. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them : and hath committed untous the word of rec- onciliation. 20. Now then we are ambassa- dors for Christ, as though God did beseech q/ow by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. Gal. 1:15. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 16. To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen ; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: Eph. 3:7. Whereof Iwas made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. S. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; Eph. 4:11. And he gave Some, apostles; and SOme, prophets; and Some, evangelists; and SOme, pastors and teachers; 12. For the perfecting of the Saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ : Col. 1:25. Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; 26. Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28. Whom we preach, warning every man,and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesús: 29 Whoro unto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. Col. 4:17. And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast re- ceived in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. 1 Tim. 1:12. And I thank Christ Jesus Our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he Counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; 13. Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I ob- tained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 14. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 1 Tim. 2:7. Whereunto I am Ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gen- tiles in faith and verity. 2 Tim. 1:11. Tit. 1:3. But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is com- mitted unto me according to the command- ment of God Our Saviour: Heb. 5:4. And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as Q06ts Aaron. See PRIESTs; LEVITES; CALL, PERSONAL; EXCUSES. CHARACTER AND QUALIFICATIONS OF: Lev. 10:3. Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, say- ing, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace. 4. And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the Sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp. 5. So they went near, and carried them in their coats Out of the camp; as Moses had said. 6. And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Un- cover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burn- ing which the LORD hath kindled. 7. And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses. 8. And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying, 9. Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, northy Sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the con- gregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations: 10. And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean; 11. And that ye may teach the chil- dren of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses. Lev. 21:6. They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God: for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy. 2 Chr. 29-11 Num. 16:9. Seemeth it but a small thing unto you, that the God of Israel hath sepa- rated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to himself to do the Serv- ice of the tabernacle of the LORD, and to stand before the congregation to minister unto them 3 10. And he hath brought thee near to him, and all thy brethren the SOns of Levi with thee: and seek ye the priest- hood also : Deut. 32:1. Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. 2. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as 843 MINISTER.—CHARACTER AND QUALIFICATIONS OF. -º-º-º- the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: 3. Because I will publish the name of the LORD : ascribe ye greatness unto Our God. 1 Sam, 2:35. I will raise me up a faithful priest, that shall do according to that which Øs in mine heart and in my mind : 1 Sam. 12:7. Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers. 2 Chr. 6:41. Let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with Salvation, and let thy Saints rejoice in goodness. Ezra 7:10. For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do 7t, and to teach in Israel statutes and judg- ment.S. Psa. 68:11. The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that pub- lished it. Prov. 11:30. The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is WISé. Isa. 6:5. Then said I, Woe is me ! for I am undone ; because I am a man of un- clean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. 6. Then flew one of the Seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar : 7. And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniq- uity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me." Isa. 32:20. Blessed (tre ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the Ox and the ass. Isa. 52:11. Beye clean, that bear the ves- sels of the LORD. Jer, 1:7. But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall Send thee, and whatsoever I com- mand thee thou shalt speak. 8. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. Jer. 3:15. I will give you pastors accord- ing to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. Jer. 20:9. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay. Ezek. 34:2. Thus Saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves | should not the shepherds feed the flocks? vs. 1–31. Mal. 2:6. The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equi- ty, and did turn many away from iniquity. 7. For the priest's lips should keep knowl- edge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hostS. Matt. 10:16. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye there- fore wise as Serpents, and harmless as doves. 17. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will Scourge you in their synagogues; 18. And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. 19. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how Or What ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. 20. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Eather which speaketh in you. 22. And ye shall be hated of all 777 eye for my name's sake; but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. 23. But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. 24. The disciple is not above / is mas- ter, nor the servant above his lord. Matt. 11:25. At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. [Luke 10:21. 26. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. Matt. 13:51. Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Tord. 52. Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is in- structed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. Matt. 20:25. But Jesus Called them atºto him, and said, Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. 26. But it shall not be so among you : but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27. And whosoever will be chief, among you, let him be your servant: 28. Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ran- Som for many. Duke 22:27: John 13:14,15. Matt. 23:8. Be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. 9. And call no may, your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. 10. Neither be ye called masters: for One is your Master, even Christ, 11. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. Luke 6:39. And he spake a parable unto them ; Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch 3 Tuke 12:42. And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due sea- SOn 8 43. Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 44. Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. Matt. 24:45. S44 MINISTER.—CHARACTER AND QUALIFICATIONS OF. Luke 24:49. And, behold, I send the prom- ise of my Father upon you : but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. John 3:27. A man can receive nothing, ex- cept it be given him from heaven. 34. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure ºnto him. John 4:36. He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal : that both he that Soweth and he that reap- eth may rejoice together. 37. And herein is that saying true, One Soweth, and an- other reapeth. 38. T sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their la- bours. John 10:2. He that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3. To him the porter openeth ; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth be- fore them, and the sheep follow him : for they know his voice. 5. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. 11. I am the good shepherd: the good shep- herd giveth his life for the sheep. 12. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, Seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth : and the wolf catcheth them, and Scattereth the sheep. 13. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15. As the Father knoweth me, even SO know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. John 13:13. Ye call me Master and Lord : and ye say well; for so I am. 14. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. 15. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 16. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that Sent him. 17. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. John 15:20. Remember the word that I said unto you, The Servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep your's also. 21. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. - John 17:16. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 17. Sancti- fy them through thy truth : thy word is truth. 18. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. 20. Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; Acts 1:8. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you : and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jeru- Salem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 4:8. Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the peo- ple, and elders of Israel, 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 bold- IlêSS. Acts 6:3. Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you Seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. 4. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. Acts 20:22. And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there : 23. Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 24. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God. ROm. 2:21. Thou therefore which teach- est another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22. Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou com- mit adultery 3 thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege 2 23. Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through break- ing the law dishonourest thou God? 1 Cor. 1:23. But we preach Christ cruci- fied, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 27. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28. And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29. That no flesh should glory in his presence. 30. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and Sanctifica- tion, and redemption: 1 Cor. 2:2. For I determined not to know any thing among you, Save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. … 1 Cor. 3:7. So then neither is he that plant- eth any thing, neither he that watereth ; but God that giveth the increase. 8. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are One : and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. 9. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye &re God’s building. 10. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another 845 MINISTER. CIIARACTER AND QUALIFICATIONS OF. buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 1 Cor. 4:10. We are fools for Christ's Sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised. 11. Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no cer- tain dwelling place; 12. And labour, work- ing with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it : 13. Being defamed, we intreat : we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscour- ing of all things unto this day. 1 Cor. 9:16. For though I preach the gos- pel, I have nothing to glory of : for neces- sity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel ! 17. For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward : but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me. 18. What is my reward then 2 Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. 19. For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself Servant unto all, that I might gain the more. 20. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law ; 21. To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. 22. To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23. And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you. 27. But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a Castaway. 1 Cor. 15:10. But by the grace of God I am what I am : and his grace which was be- stowed upon me was not in vain; but I la- boured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with IYle. 2 Cor. 2:15. For we are unto God a Sweet Savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish : 16. To the One ºpe (tre the Savour of death unto death; and to the other the Savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? 17. For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. 2 Cor. 3:6. Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit : for the letter kill- eth, but the spirit giveth life. 7. But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in Stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his counte- Inance; which glory was to be done away; 8. How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? 9. For if the ministra- tion of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness ex- ceed in glory. 10. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this re- spect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. 2 Cor. 4:1. Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not ; 2. But have renounced the hid- den things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 3. But if Our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost : 4. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6. For God, who commanded the light to shine Out of darkness, hath shined in Our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7. But we have this treasure in earthen ves- sels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed : we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9. Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 2 Cor. 5:11. Knowing therefore the terror of the Tord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. 18. And all things are of God, who hath recon- ciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconcilia- tion; 19. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not im- puting their trespasses unto them ; and hath committed unto us the word of recon- ciliation. 20. Now then we are ambassa- dors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2 Cor. 6:3. Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: 4. But in all things approving ourselves as the minis- ters of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 5. In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; 6. By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, 7. By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, : 2 Cor. 10:1. Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you : 846 MINISTER.—CHARACTER AND QUALIFICATIONS OF. 2. But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confi- dence, where with I think to be bold against Some, which think of us as if we walked ac- cording to the flesh. 8. For though I should boast Somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edifica- tion, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed : 2 Cor. 13:10. Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction. - Gal. 2:8. (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumci- sion, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles :) Gal. 6:17. From henceforth let no man trouble me: for Ibear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. Phil. 3:17. Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 1 Thess. 2:3. For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile : 4. But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 5. For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloak of coveteousness; God is witness: 6. Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. 7. But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children: 8. So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us. 9. For ye remember, brethren, Our labour and travail; for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. 10. Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we be- haved ourselves among you that believe: 11. As ye know how we exhorted and com- forted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, 12. That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 1 Tim. 3:1. This is a true saying, Tf a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2. A bishop then must be blame- less, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach ; 3. Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre ; but patient, not a brawler, not coveteous; 4. One that rul- eth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity: 5. (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6. Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without ; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 8. Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 9. Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 10. And let these also first be proved; then let them use the Office of a deacon, being found blameless. 11. Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faith- ful in all things. 12. Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their chil- dren and their own houses well. 13. For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 15. If I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou §ºtes to behave thyself in the house of OCl, 1 Tim. 5:17. Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, espe- cially they who labour in the word and doc- trine. 21. I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without pre- ferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality. 1 Tim. 6:11. O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, god- liness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 13. I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession ; 14. That thou keep thºs commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of Our Lord Jesus Christ : 20. O Timothy, keep that which is commit- ted to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of Science falsely so called: 21. Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. w 2 Tim. 1:6. Wherefore I put thee in re- membrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 8. Be not thouthere- fore ashamed of the testimony of Our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but be thou par- taker of the afflictions of the gospel accord- ing to the power of God; 13. Hold fast the form of Sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 14. That good thing which was com- mitted unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us. 2 Tim. 2:1. Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, 2. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the Same Com- mit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3. Thou therefore en- dure hardness, as a good Soldier of Jesus Christ. 4. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5. If a man also strive for 847 MINISTER.—CHARACTER AND QUALIFICATIONS OF. masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 6. The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 7. Consider what I Say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 14. Of these things put them in remem- brance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 15. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a Work- man that needeth not to be ashamed, right- ly dividing the word of truth. 16. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 20. In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and Some to dis- honour. 21. If a man therefore purge him- self from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the mas- ter's use, and prepared unto every good work. 22. Flee also youthful lusts: but fol- low righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord Out of a pure heart. 23. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 24. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25. In meek- mess instructing those that Oppose them- Selves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26. And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. 2 Tim. 3:14. Continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been as- sured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them : 16. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doc- trine, for reproof, for correction, for in- struction in righteousness: 17. That the man of God may be perfect, throughly fur- nished unto all good works. . Tit. 1:5. For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: 6. If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or un- ruly. 7. For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self willed, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8. But a lover of hos- pitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 9. Holding fast the faith- ful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by Sound doctrine both to ex- hort and to convince, the gainsayers. 13. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 14. Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. Tit. 2:1. Speak thou the things which become Sound doctrine: 7. In all things Shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, 8. Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. 15. These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. Tit. 3:1. Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magis- trates, to be ready to every good work, 2. To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. 8. This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constant: ly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good Works. These things are good and profitable unto men. 9. But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. [See Epistles to Timothy, and Titus, in full.] Heb. 5:1. For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: 2. Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and On them that are out of the way: for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity. 3. And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. 12. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the Oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13. For every one that useth milk is unskil- ful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. Heb. 13:6. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. 7. Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. 9. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein. 17. Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for Oll. Jas. 3:1. My brethren, be not many mas- ters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. 13. Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversa- tion his works with meekness of wisdom. 16. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be in- treated, full of mercy and good fruits, with- 848 MINISTER.—CHARGE DELIVERED TO, out partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. 1 Pet. 4:10. As every man hath received the gift, eve?” so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 11. If any man speak, let him speak as the Oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth : that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, CHARGE DELIWERED TO : Num.18:1. And the LORD said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy father's house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary : and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the in- iquity of your priesthood. 2. And thy brethren also of the tribe of Levi, the tribe of thy father, bring thou with thee, that they may be joined unto thee, and minister unto thee: but thou and thy sons with thee shall minister before the tabernacle of wit- ness. 3. And they shall keep thy charge, and the charge of all the tabernacle: only they shall not come nigh the vessels of the Sanctuary and the altar, that neither they, nor ye also, die. 4. And they shall be joined unto thee, and keep the charge of the tab- ernacle of the congregation, for all the serv- ice of the tabernacle: and a stranger shall not come nigh unto you. 5. And ye shall keep the charge of the sanctuary, and the charge of the altar: that there be no wrath any more upon the children of Israel. 6. And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Is- rael: to you they are given as a gift for the LORD, to do the service of the tabernacle of the congregation. 7. Therefore thou and thy sons with thee shall keep your priest's office for every thing of the altar, and with- in the vail; and ye shall serve: I have given your priest's office ºnto you as a Service of gift: Num. 27:18. And the LORD Said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua, the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him ; 19. And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight. 20. And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the chil- dren of Israel may be obedient. 21. And he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall ask counsel for him after the judg- ment of Urim before the LORD : at his word shall they go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he, and all the children of Is- rael with him, even all the congregation. 22. And Moses did as the LORD commanded him : and he took Joshua, and set him be- fore Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation: 23. And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the TORD commanded by the hand of Moses. Deut. 31:7. And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn unto their fathers to give them ; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it. 8. And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed. Deut. 31:14–23. Josh. 1:1. Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua, the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying, 2. Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this peo- ple, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. 3. Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I Said unto Moses. 4. From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. 5. There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. 6. Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 8. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth ; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed; for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Ezek. 3:4. And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel. and speak with my words unto them. Matt. 10:5. These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, GO not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not : 6. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of IS- rael. 7. And as ye go, preach, Saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. , 8. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 9. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, 10. Nor Scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. 11. And into whatso- ever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy : and there abide till ye go thence. 12. And when ye come into an house, salute it. 13. And if the house be (54) 849 MINISTER.—(HARGH, I) R.I.IVERED TO. worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judg- ment, than for that city. [Mark 6:11.] 16. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 17. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; 18. And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my Sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. 19. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. 20. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. 21. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. 22. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. 23. But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I Say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Tsrael, till the Son of man be COme. 24. The disciple is not above his master, nor the Servant above his lord. 25. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? 26. Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. , 27. What I tell you in dark- ness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. 28. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the Soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both Soul and body in hell. 29. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing 2 and One of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 3i. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many Sparrows. 32. Whosoever there- fore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. 34. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I Came not to Send peace, but a sword. 35. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. 37. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that lov- eth Son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39. He that findeth his life shall lose it : and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. 40. He that receiv- eth you receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 41. He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. 42. And who- soever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I Say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward. - Luke 10:1. After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. 2. Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few : pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. 3. Go your ways: behold, I Send you forth as lambs among wolves. 4. Carry neither purse, nor Scrip, nor shoes: and Salute no man by the way. 5. And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. 6. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. 7. And in the Same house remain, eating and drink- ing Such things as they give: for the la- bourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. 8. And into whatsoever City ye, enter, and they receive you, eat Such things as are set before you : 9. And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. , 10. But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your Ways Out into the streets of the same, and Say, , 11. Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against yOu: notwithstanding, be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 12. But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. 13. Woe unto thee, Chorazin' woe unto thee, Bethsaida for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which have been done in you, they had a great while ago repented, sit- ting in Sackcloth and ashes. 14. But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you. 15. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell. 16. He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent IYle. 1 Tim. 1:18. This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophe- Cies which went before on thee, that thou 850 MINISTER.—CHARGE DELIVERED TO. by them mightest war a good warfare; 19. Holding faith, and a good conscience; which Some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20. Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander ; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme. 1 Tim. 2:1. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, Supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men ; 2. For kings, and for all that are in author- ity ; that we may lead a quiet and peace- able life in all godliness and honesty. 3. T'orthis is good and acceptable in the sight of God Our Saviour; 4. Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowl- edge of the truth. 5. For there is one God, and One mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6. Who gave him- Self a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 7. Whereunto I am Ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not ) a teacher of the Gen- tiles in faith and verity. 8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 9. In like manner also, that women adorn them- Selves in modest apparel, with shamefaced- ness and sobriety ; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array : 10. But (which becometh women professing godli- ness) with good works. 11. Let the woman learnin silence with all subjection. 12. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the trans- gression. 15. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with So- briety. & 1 Tim. 3:1. This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 2. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, Sober, of good behaviour, given to hospital- ity, apt to teach ; 3. Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but pa- tient, not a brawler, not covetous: 4. One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5. (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God 2) 6. Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation Of the devil. 7. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without : lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 8. Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre: 9. Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 10. And let these also first be proved ; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. 11. Even SO must their wives be grave, not slander- ers, Sober, faithful in all things. 12. Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 13. For they that have used the of fice of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 14. These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly : 15. But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 16. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 1 Tim. 4:1. Now the Spirit speaketh ex- pressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to se- ducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2. Speaking lies in hypocrisy ; having their conscience Seared with a hot iron ; 3. For- bidding to marry, and commanding to ab- stain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanks- giving : 5. For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 6. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. 7. But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 8. For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 9. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. ... 10. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 11. These things command and teach. 12. Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 13. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 14. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the lay- ing on of the hands of the presbytery. 15. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them : that thy profiting may ap- pear to all. 16. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine ; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both Save thy- self, and them that hear thee. 1 Tim. 5:1. Rebuke not an elder, but in- treat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren ; 2. The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. 3. Honour widows that are widows indeed. 4. But if any widow have children or nephews, let them learn first to shew 851 MINISTF. R. —("H AIRC. H. DHLIVERED TO, piety at home, and to requite their parents: for that is good and acceptable before God. 5. Now she that is a widow indeed, and des- olate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day, 6. But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. 7. And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless. 8. But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. 9. Let not a widow be taken into the number under threeScore years old, hav- ing been the wife of one man, 10. Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the Saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. 11. But the younger widows refuse : for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry : 12. Hav- ing damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. 13. And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house ; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. 14. I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 15. For some are already turned aside after Satan. 16. If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged ; that it may re- lieve them that are widows indeed. 17. Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who la- bour in the word and doctrine. 18. For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. 19. Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses. 20. Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 21. I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things with- out preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality. , 22. Tay hands Sud- denly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure. 1 Tim. 6:1. Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. 2. And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren: but rather do them. Service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort. 3. If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4. He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, --- 5. Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such with- draw thyself. 6. But godliness with con- tentment is great gain. , 7. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8. And having food and raiment let us be there with con- tent. 9. But they that will be rich fall in- to temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 10. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while Some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced them- Selves through with many sorrows. 11. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness, 12. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 13. I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; 14. That thou keep this commandment with- Out spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing Of Our LOrd Jesus Christ : 15. Which in his times he shall Shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and IOrd of lords; 16. Who only hath immor- tality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can See: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. 17. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18. That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19. Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 20. O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain bab- blings, and oppositions of Science falsely so called: 21. Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. 2 Tim. 1:6. Wherefore I put thee in re- membrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 8. Be not thou there- fore ashamed of the testimony of Our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou par- taker of the afflictions of the gospel accord- ing to the power of God; 9. Who hath saved us, and called 70s with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10. But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought 852 MINISTER.—CHARGE DELIVERED TO. *-- *-*-** life and immortality to light through the gospel: 11. Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 12. For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 13. Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Tim. 2:1. Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same com- mit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3. Thou therefore en- dure hardness, as a good Soldier of Jesus Christ. 4. No man that warreth entan- gleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5. And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 6. The husband- man that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 7. Consider what I say: and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 8. Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 9. Wherein I suf- fer trouble, as an evil doer, eve), unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. 10. Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the Salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11. It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with /l/m2. 12. If we suffer, we shall also reign with him : if we deny him, he also will deny us: 13. If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself. 14. Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 15. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16. But shun profane and vain bab- blings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. I'7. And their word will eat as doth a canker : of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18. Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrec- tion is past already and overthrow the faith of some. 19. Nevertheless the foun- dation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20. But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel un- to honour, sanctified, and meet for the mas- ter's use, and prepared unto every good work. 22. Flee also youthful lusts: but fol. low righteousness, faith, charity, peace, With them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gen- der strifes. 24. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, cov- etous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobe- dient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4. Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5. Having a form of godli- ness, but denying the power thereof: from Such turn away. 6. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead cap- tive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8. Now as Jannes and Jambres with- stood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was. 10. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11. Persecutions, afflic- tions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I en- dured: but out of them all the Lord deliv- ered me. 12. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecu- tion. 13. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them ; 15. And that from a child thou hast known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto sal- vation through faith which is in Christ Je- sus. 16. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17. That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Tim. 4:1. I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appear- ing and his kingdom; 2. Preach the word; be instant in Season, Out of Season ; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3.

But watch thou in all things, en- dure afflictions, do the work of an evangel- ist, make full proof of thy ministry. 6. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8. Hence- forth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the right- eous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and Speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I con- found thee before them. 18. For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princesthereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land. 19.

Jer. 23:4. And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them : and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD. 22. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. 28. The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. Jer. 26:2. Thus saith the LORD ; Stand in the court of the TORD’s house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD's house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them: diminish not a word: Ezek. 2:6. And thou, Son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dis- mayed at their looks, though they be a re- bellious house. 7. And thou shalt speak my words unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious. 8. But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not 854 MIN ISTER—Duties OF. thou rebellious like that rebellious house : Open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee. Ezek. 3:8. Behold, I have made thy face strong against their faces, and thy fore- head strong against their foreheads. 9. As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. 10. Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears. 17. Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth and give them warning from me. 18. When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 19. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wicked- ness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 20. Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling- block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered ; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 21. Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous Aman, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. 27. But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house. Ezek. 6:11. Thus saith the TOrd GOD : Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, Alas for all the evil abomina- tions of the house of Israel ! Ezek. 33:1. Again the word of the TORD came unto me, Saying, 2. Son of man, Speak to the children of thy people, and Say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their Coasts, and set him for their watchman: 3. Tf when he seeth the Sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people; 4. Then whosoever heareth the Sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warm- ing; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 5. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. . But he that taketh warning shall de- liver his soul. 6. But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword Come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. 7. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. 8. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked Anan, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity ; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 9. Neverthe- less, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it ; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Ezek. 34:2. Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Tord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves | should not the shepherds feed the flocks? 3. Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed; but ye feed not the flock. 4. The diseased have yenot strength- ened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. , 5. And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered. 6. My sheep wandered through all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them. 7. Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD ; 8. As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely because my flock became a prey, and my fiock became meat to every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; 9. There- fore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD ; 10. Thus saith the Tord GOD: Be- hold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. 11. For thus saith the LOrd GOD: Behold, I, even I, will both search my . sheep, and seek them out, 12. As a shep- herd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are Scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. 13. And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhabited places of the country. 14. I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of IS- rael shall their fold be : there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall 855 MINISTER. —DUTIES OF. they feed upon the mountains of Israel. 15. I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD. 16. I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judg- ment. 17. And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I judge be- tween cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats. 18. Seemeth it a Small thing unto you to have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet? 19. And as for my flock, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet; and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet. 20. Therefore thus Saith the Lord GOD unto them; Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. 21. Because ye have thrust with side and with shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad; 22. Therefore will Isave my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. 23. And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shep- herd. 24. And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it. 25. And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land : and they shall dwell safely in the wil- derness, and sleep in the woods. 26. And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season ; there shall be showers of blessing. 27. And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land, and shall know that I (1777 the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of them. 28. And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them ; but they shall dwell safely, and none shall make them afraid. , 29. And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more Consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. 30. Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God arr, with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD. 31. And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, Saith the TOrd GOD. Ezek. 44:23. And they shall teach my peo- ple the difference between the holy and pro- fane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean. Joel 1:13. Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in Sackcloth, ye ministers of my God : for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God. 14. Sanctify ye a fast, call a Solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD, 15. Alas for the day ! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. Joel 2:17. Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to re- proach, that the heathen should rule over them : wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God Jonah 1:2. Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it ; for their wick- edness is come up before me. Hab. 2:2. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. Mal. 2:7. For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth : for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts. Matt. 7:6. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. Matt. 10:7. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 11. Into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, en- quire who initis worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. 12. And when ye come into an house, Salute it. 13. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it : but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 16. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 25. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they havecalled themaster of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? 27. What I tell you in dark- ness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. 28. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the Soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both Soul and body in hell. Matt. 18:5. And whoso shall receive One such little child in my name receiveth me. [Luke 9:48.] 6. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. 18. Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever yeshall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. chapter 16:19. Matt. 20:25.

But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27. And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant : 28.

He saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 17. He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of JO- nas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved be- cause he said unto him the third time, Lov- est thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. - Acts 1:21. Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22. Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a wit- ness with us of his resurrection. Acts 5:20. Go, stand and speak in the tem. ple to the people all the words of this life. Acts 6:2. Then the twelve called the mul- titude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. 4. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. Acts 10:42. And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was Ordained Of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. Acts 16:4.

But rise, and stand upon thy feet : for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a wit- ness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; 17. Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, 18. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Rom. 1:14. I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. 15. So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. Rom. 12:6. Having then gifts differing ac- cording to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy accord- ing to the proportion of faith; 7.

For though I preach the gos- pel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, Woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospell 17. For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gos- pel is committed unto me. 2 Cor. 1:24. Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand. 2 Cor. 4:1. Therefore, seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not ; 2. But have renounced the hid- den things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully ; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 5. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your Servants for Jesus' Sake. 2 COr. 5:14. For the love Of Christ COn- straineth us; because we thus judge, that if One died for all, then were all dead: 18. And all things are of God, who hath recon- ciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 20. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to GOd. - - 2 Cor. 6:3. Giving no offence in anything, that the ministry be not blamed : 4. But in all things approving ourselves as the minis- ters of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, 5. In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; 6. By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, 7. By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8. By honour and dis- honour, by evil report and good report : as deceivers, and yet true; 9. As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; 10. As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. 2 Cor. 7:4. Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joy- ful in all our tribulation. 5. For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within ºpere fears. 6. Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; 7. And not by his coming only, but by the consolation where with he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more. 8. For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you Sorry, though it were but for a season. 9. Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye Sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made Sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive dam- age by usin nothing. 12. Wherefore, though I wrote unto 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 appear unto you. 15. And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remember- eth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him. 2 Cor. 8:23. Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ. - 2 Cor. 10:8. For though I should boast Somewhat more of Our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed: 2 Cor. 12:15. And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. 19. Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves unto you? we speak before God in Christ : but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying. 2 Cor. 13:2. I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare: 10. Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruc- tion. Gal. 1:10. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant Of Christ. Eph. 3:8. Unto me, who am less than the least of all Saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the un- searchable riches of Christ : 9. And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ : 10. To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, Eph. 4:11. He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and Some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12. For the perfecting of the Saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ : Eph. 6:20. For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I Ought to speak. Col. 4:17. Say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. 1 TheSS. 2:4. But as we were allowed of 858 MINISTER.—DUTIES OF. God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 5. For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness: 6. Nor of men Sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. 7. But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her chil- dren: 8. So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God Only, but also our Own Souls, because ye were dear unto us. 10. Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblamea- bly we behaved ourselves among you that believe: 11. As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, 12. That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 1 Thess. 3:2. And sent Timotheus, Our brother, and minister of God, and our fel- lowlabourer in the gospel of Christ, to estab- lish you, and to comfort you concerning your faith: *. 1 Thess. 5:12. And we beseech you, breth- ren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish Ou ; y 2 Thess. 3:4. And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. 1 Tim. 1:3. As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 4. Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edify- ing which is in faith: so do. 11. According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. 18. This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went be- fore on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; 19. Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made ship- wreck: - 1 Tim. 2:7. Whereunto I am Ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not ) a teacher of the Gen- tiles in faith and verity. 1 Tim. 4:6. If thou put the brethren in re- membrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained. 7. But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 12. Tet no man despise thy youth ; but be thou an ex- ample of the believers, in word, in conver- sation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in pu- rity. 13. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. 14. Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the lay- ing on of the hands of the presbytery. 15. Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them ; that thy profiting may ap- pear to all. 16. Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thy- self, and them that hear thee. 1 Tim. 5:1. Rebuke not an elder, but in- treat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren ; 2. The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. 3. Honour widows that are widows indeed. 7. And these things give in charge, that they may be blameless. 8. But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel. 9. Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man. 10. Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the Saints' feet, if she have relieved the af- flicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. 11. But the younger widows refuse : 19. Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three wit- nesses. 20. Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 21. I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before an- other, doing nothing by partiality. 22. Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be par- taker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure. 1 Tim. 6:3. If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, ever, the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godli- ness; 4. He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil Surmisings, ... 10. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 11. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after right- eousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 12. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good pro- fession before many witnesses. 13. I give theo charge in the sight of God, who quick- eneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good Confession ; 14. That thou keep this com- mandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ : 17. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncer- tain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy ; 18. That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 19. Laying up in Store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 20. O S5%) MINISTER.—IOUTIES OF THE {}HURCH TO. Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain bab- blings, and oppositions of Science falsely SO called : 21. Which Some professing have erred concerning the faith. 2 Tim. 1:6. Wherefore I put thee in re- membrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 8. Be not thou there- fore ashamed of the testimony of Our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou par- taker of the afflictions of the gospel accord- ing to the power of God; 2 Tim. 2:2. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good Soldier of Jesus Christ. 4. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5. And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 6. The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 7. Consider what I say: and the Lord give thee understanding in all things. 14. Of these things put them. in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, butt to the subverting of the hearers. 15. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16. But shun profane and vain bab- blings: for they will increase unto more un- godliness. 23. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gen- der strifes. 24. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all nven, apt to teach, patient, 25. In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repent- ance to the acknowledging of the truth; 2 Tim. 4:1. I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appear- ing and his kingdom ; 2. Preach the word; be instant in Season, Out of Season ; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 5. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evan- gelist, make full proof of thy minstry. 1 Pet. 5:1. The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, . . . 2. Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by con- straint, but willingly ; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; ; 3. Neither as being lords Over God’s heritage, but being en- Samples to the flock. 4. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, yeshall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 2 Pet. 1:12. Wherefore I will not be negli- gent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. 13. Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this taber- nacle, to stir you up by putting you in remem- brance; 14. knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. 15. More- Over I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things al- ways in remembrance. 16. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and com- ing of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eye- witnesses of his majesty. See CHARGE DELIVERED TO, above.

For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth : for he is the messenger of the TIORD of hosts. 1 Cor. 11:1. Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 2. Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them. to you. . & 1 Cor. 16:15. I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the Saints,) 16. That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with 7ts, and laboureth. Phil. 3:17. Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk SO as ye have us for an ensample. - Col. 4:10. Aristarchus my fellow prisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received com- mandments: if he come unto you, receive him :) 1 Thess. 5:12. And we beseech you, breth- ren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you ; 13. And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. Heb. 13:7. Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation. 17. Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. 18.

And the Levite that is within thy gates; thou shalt not forsake him ; for he hath no part nor inheritance wiſh thee. Deut. 18:1. The priests the Levites, and all the tribe of Levi, shall have no part nor inheritance with Israel: they shall eat the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and his inheritance. 2. Therefore shall they have no inheritance among their brethren: the LORD is their inheritance, as he hath said unto them. Josh. 13:14. Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as he said unto them. 33. But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance : the LORD God of Is- rael Atas their inheritance, as he said unto them. Josh. 18:7.

Or saith he it altogether for Our Sakes 2 For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. 11. If we have sown unto you spirit- ual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things? 12. If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ. 13. Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are par- takers with the altar 7 14. Even so hath the Ilord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel. 15. But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. 16. For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of : for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospell 17.

For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong. 14. Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you : for I Seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. 15. And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. 16. But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile. 17. Did I make a gain of you by any of them. I sent unto you ?, 18.

For even in Thessalonica, ye sent once and again unto my necessity. 17. Not because I desire a gift : but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. 18.

Thus Saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy, unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. 21. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. 31. Behold, I am? against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and Say, He Saith. 32. Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, Saith the LORD. 36. The burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, vs. 25–39; Jer. 27:9–18. Jer, 48:10. Cursed be he that doeth the work of the TORD deceitfully, Jer. 50:6. My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting- place. - Lam. 2:14. Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity: Lam. 4:13. For the sins of her prophets, and the iniquities of her priests, that have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her, 14. They have wandered as blind men in the streets, they have polluted them- selves with blood, so that men could not touch their garments. Ezek. 13:2. Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel, that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD ; 3. Thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing ! 4. O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. 5. Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD. 10. They have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace; and one built up a wall, and, lo, Others daubed it with Ull itempered morten’. 11. Say unto them which daub it with un- tempered morter, that it shall fall: 16. The prophets of Israel which prophesy concern- ing Jerusalem, and which See visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, Saith the Lord GOD. 17. Likewise, thou Son of man, set thy face against the daughters of thy people, which prophesy Out of their own heart ; and prophesy thou against them, 18. And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Woe to the women that sew pillows to all armholes, and make kerchiefs upon the head of every stature to hunt souls l Will ye hunt the Souls of my people, and will ye Save the Souls alive that come unto you ? 19. Will ye pollute me among my people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, to slay the souls that should not die, and to save the souls alive that should not live, by your lying to my people that hear gyour lies 2 22. With lies ye have made the heart of the righteous Sad, whom I have not made sad ; and strengthened the hands of the wicked, that he should not return from his wicked way, by promising him life: vs. 1–23. Ezek. 14:9. If the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will de- stroy him from the midst of my people Is- rael. 10. And they shall bear the punish- ment of their iniquity: the punishment of the prophet shall be even as the punishment of him that seeketh wnto him ; Ezek. 22:25. There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured Souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof. 26. Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no dif- ference between the holy and profane, nei- ther have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am pro- famed among them. 28. Her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, See- ing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus Saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken. º Ezek. 34:2. Woe be to the shepherds of Is- rael that do feed themselves | should not the shepherds feed the flocks 7 3. Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock. 4. The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost ; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. 6. My flock was scattered upon all the face of the earth, and none did search or seek after them. 10. Behold, I am against 864 MINISTER.—FALSE AND CORRUPT. *-* = the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shep- herds feed themselves any more ; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. vs. 1–31. Ezek. 44:8. Ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keep- ers of my charge in my sanctuary for your- Selves. 10. The Levites that are gone away far from me, . . . they shall even bear their iniquity. BIOS. 4:6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast re- jected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: Seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. 8. They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity. 9. And there shall be, like people, like prièsts: and I will pun- ish them for their ways, and reward them their doings. vs. 10–13. Hos. 5:1. Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O_house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare On Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor. Hos. 6:9. As troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewd- IlêSS. Hos. 9:8. The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God. v. 7. Amos 2:11. I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Naza- rites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the LORD. 12. But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and command- ed the prophets, saying, Prophesy not. Mic. 2:11. If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will proph- esy unto thee of wine and of strong drink: he shall even be the prophet of this people. Mic. 3:5. Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace ; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him. 6. Thoro fore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision ; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark Over them. 7. Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners con- founded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God. 11. The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money : yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. Zeph. 3:4. Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have pol- luted the sanctuary, they have done vio- lence to the law. Zech. 10:3. Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle. Zech. 11:4. Thus Saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter; 5. Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD ; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not. 16. Lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall Seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. 17. Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock the Sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye : his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. Zech. 13:2. Saith the LORD of hosts, . . . I will cause the prophets and the unclean Spirit to pass out of the land. 3. And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD : and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth. 4. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive: 5. But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; Mal. 1:6. If I be a master, where is my fear? Saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name 3 ^jS. 7–10. - Mal. 2:8. Ye are departed out of the way: ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, Saith the LORD of hosts. 9.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but in- wardly they are ravening wolves. 22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name 2 and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matt. 15:9. In vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. , 13.

And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Luke 6:39. Matt. 20:20. Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, wor- shipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. 21. And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom. 22. But Jesus answered and Said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am bap- tized with ? They say unto him, We are able. 23. And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with : but to sit on my right hand, and On my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Fa- ther. 24. And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation against the two brethren. 25. But Jesus called them wnto him, and said, 'Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. 26. But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27. And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Mark 10:35–37; Luke 22:24. Matt. 23:3. All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe, and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4. For they bind heavy bur- dens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fin- gers. 13. Woe unto you, Scribes and Phari- sees, hypocrites 1 for ye shut up the king- dom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. Matt. 24:4. Take heed that no man de- ceive you. 5. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall de- ceive many. 24. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. vs. 11,26,48–51; Luke 21:8. Mark 9:33. And he came to Capernaum : and being in the house he asked them, What was it that ye disputed among your- selves by the way ? 34. But they held their peace: for by the way they had disputed among themselves, who should be the great- est. 35. And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all. Luke 9:46. Mark 13:21. And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not : 22. For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were pos- sible, even the elect. Luke 11:35. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. 52. Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. vs. 46–51. Luke 12:45. If that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall be- gin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46. The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in Sunder and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. John 3:10. Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? John 5:43. I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not : if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. John 10:1. He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 5. A stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him : for they know not the voice of strangers. 8. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. 10. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: 12. He that is an hireling, and not the shep- herd, whose own the sheep are not, Seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth : and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. Acts 20:29. For Iknow this, that after my de- parting shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30. Also of your own selves.shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Rom. 2:19. Art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, 20. An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. 21. Thou therefore which teachest an- other, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22. Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adul- tery 2 thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? 23. Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? 24. For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gen- tiles through you, as it is written. 25. For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. Rom. 16:17. Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and of- fences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned ; and avoid them. 18. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. S66 !MINISTER.—FALSE AND CORRUPT. 1 Cor. 3:10. According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master- builder, I have laid the foundation, and an- Other buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeththereupon. 11. For Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13. Every man's work shall be made mani- fest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire ; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 21. There- fore let no man glory in men. vs. 1–4. 1 Cor. 11:18. I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. 19. For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made man- ifest among you. 2 Cor. 2:17. We are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: - 2 Cor. 11:3. I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his sub- tilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or ºf yereceive another spirit, which ye have not received, Or another gospel, which ye have not ac- cepted, ye might well bear with him. 13. Such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14. And no marvel; for Satan him- self is transformed into an angel of light. 15. Therefore it is no great thing if his min- isters also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be accord- ing to their works. vs. 1–33. Gal. 1:6. I marvel that ye are so soon re- moved from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7. Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gos- pel of Christ. 8. But though we, or an an- gel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let lili I lje accused. Gal. 5:10. He that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. Eph. 4:14. Be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cun- ning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive : Phil. 1:15. Someindeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: 16. The one preach Christ of conten- tion, not sincerely, supposing to add afflic- tion to my bonds: Phil. 3:2. Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. rightly dividing the word of truth. Col. 2:4. This I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. 8. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 18. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19. And not hold- ing the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment min- istered, and knit together, increasoth with the increase of God. 1 Tim. 1:3. I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 4. Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edify- ing which is in faith: so do. 5. Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned : 6. From which some having Swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; 7. Desiring to be teachers of the law ; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. 19. Holding faith and a good conscience ; which some having put away concerning faith have made ship- wreck : 1 Tim. 4:1. Now the Spirit speaketh ex- pressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to Sedu- cing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2. Speak- ing lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3. Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, 7. Refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto god- liness. 1 Tim. 6:3. If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4. He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5. Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness : from such withdraw thyself. 20. O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane wed vain babblings, alid Uppositius Uſ science falsely so called: 21. Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. 2 Tim. 2:14. Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. , 15. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, 16. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 17. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; 18. Who concerning the truth have erred, 867 - MINISTER.—FALSE AND CORRUPT. saying that the resurrection is past already : and overthrow the faith of some. 2 Tim. 3:6. Of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Mo- ses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was. 13. Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiv- ing, and being deceived. 2 Tim. 4:3. Tit. 1:10. There are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 11. Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teach- ing things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. 12. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. , 13. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; 14. Not giving heed to Jewishfables, and com- mandments of men, that turnfrom the truth. Tit. 3:10. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; 11. Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. Heb. 13:9. Benot carried about with divers and strange doctrines. 2 Pet. 2:1. There were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by rea- son of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make mer- chandise of you : whose judgment now of a long timelingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. 13. Spots they are and blem- ishes, sporting themselves with their own de- ceivings while they feast with you; 14. Hav- ing eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: 15. Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteous- ness; 16. But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice for- bad the madness of the prophet. 17. These are wells without water, clouds that are car- ried with a tempest: to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 18. For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean escaped from them who live in error. 19. While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: ws. 1–22. 2 Pet. 3:16.

As ye have heard that anti- christ shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 26. These things have I written unto you concerning them that Seduce you. 1 John 4:1. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are Of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that con- feSSeth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3. And every spirit that confess- eth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of an- tichrist, whereof ye have heard that it Should come; and even now already is it in the world. 5. They are of the world: there- fore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 2 John 7. Many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 10. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11. For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. 3 John 10. Wherefore, if I COme, I will re- member his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content there with, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church. Jude 4. There are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of Old Ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of Our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and Our Lord Jesus Christ. 11. Woe unto them for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greed- ily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. Rev. 2:1. Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; 2. I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou Canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 12.

But I have a few things against thee, be- cause thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. 15. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nico- laitanes, which thing I hate. 18. And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; 20.

Pray ye therefore the Lord of the har- vest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. Luke 10:2. Rom. 15:30. Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me; 31. That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accept- ed of the saints; 32. That I may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed. 2 Cor. 1:11. Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf. Eph. 6:18. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and suppli- cation for all Saints; 19. And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may Open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20. For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may Speak boldly, as I Ought to speak. Phil. 1:19. I know that this shall turn to my Salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, Col. 4:2. Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; 3. Withai praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: 4. That I may make it manifest, as I Ought to speak. - 1 Thess. 5:25. Brethren, pray for us. 2 Thess. 3:1. Brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: 2. And that we may be delivered from unrea- Sonable and wicked men: for all me?”, have not faith. Philem. 22. I trust that through your prayers I shall be given unto you. . Heb. 13:18. Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. 19. But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner. PRAYER FOR, EXEMPLIFIED: 2 Chr. 6: 41. Det thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with Salvation, and let thy Saints rejoice in goodness. Psa. 132:9. Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; Acts 1:24. They prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast cho- sen, 25. That he may take part of this min- istry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his Own place. - Acts 4:29. Now, Lord, behold their threat- enings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, Acts 6:6. Whom they set before the apos- tles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. Acts 12:5. Prayer was made without ceas- ing of the church unto God for him. Acts 14:23. And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. PROMISES T0, AND JOYS OF: 2 Sam. 23: 6. But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns thrust away, because they cannot be taken with hands: 7. But the man that shall touch them must be fenced with iron and the staff of a spear; and they shall be utterly burned with fire in the same place. Psa. 126:5. They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubt- less come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. . Jer. 1:7. But the LORD Said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever ! 869 MINISTER.—SUCCESS ATTENDING---TRIALS AND PERSECUTIONS OF. command thee thou shalt speak. 8. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. 9. Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Be- hold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 10. See, I have this day set thee Over the na- tions and over the kingdoms, to root Out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. 17. Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I command thee: be not dismayed at their faces, lest I con- found thee before them. 18. For, behold, I have made thee this day a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land. 19. And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee. Jer. 20:11. But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one : therefore my perse- cutors shall stumble, and they shall not pre- vail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confu- sion shall never be forgotten. Dan. 12:3. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. Matt. 10:28. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing 2 and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. . Matt. 28:20. Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Luke 12:11. And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and ºt/vto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: 12. For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye Ought to Say. Luke 24:49. And, behold, I send the prom- ise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. John 4:36. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that Soweth and he that reap- eth may rejoice together. 37. And herein is that saying true, One Soweth, and another reapeth. 38. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours. Acts 1:4. And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. 5. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be bap. tized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 8. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jeru. Salem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 1 Cor. 9:9. For it is written in the law. Of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth GOd take care for Oxen 2 10. Or Saith he it altogether for Our Sakes? For Our Sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that plow. eth should plow in hope; and that he that hºneth in hope should be partaker of his lope. 2 Cor. 2:14. Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the Savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 15. For we are unto God a Sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish : 16. To the one we are the sa- vour of death unto death ; and to the other the Savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? 2 Cor. 7:6. Nevertheless God, that Com- forteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; 7. And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourn- ing, your fervent mind toward me; SO that I rejoiced the more. Phil. 2:16. Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, 1 Thess. 2:13. For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. 19. For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the pres- ence of Our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming ? 20. For ye are our glory and joy. 1 Thess. 3:8. For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. 9. For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy where with we joy for your sakes before Our God: 3 John 4. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. See RIGHTEOUS, PROMISES TO. SUCCESS ATTENDING: Jonah, Jonah 1:5,6,9,14,16; 3:4–9. Apostles, Acts 2:1–4,41. Philip, Acts 8:6,8,12.

And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the Sword. 2. Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one 870 MINISTER.—TRIALS AND PERSECUTIONS OF. of them by to morrow about this time. 3. And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there. 4. But he himself went a day's jour- ney into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers. 5. And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and Said unto him, Arise and cat. 6. And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken On the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. 7. And the angel of the LORD came again the Second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat ; be- cause the journey is too great for thee. 8. And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount Of God. 9. And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah' 10. And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. Isa. 20:2. At the same time spake the LORD by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, GO and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put off thy shoe from thy foot. And he did So, walking naked and barefoot. 3. And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isa- iah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia; Ezek. 24:15. Also the word Of the LORD came unto me, saying, 16. Son of man, be- hold, I take away from thee the desire of thine eyes with a stroke: yet neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall thy tears run down. 17. Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men. 18. So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded. Hos. 1:2. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the TORD. Amos 5:10. They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speak- eth uprightly. Amos 7:10. Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, say- ing, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words. 11. For thus Amos saith, Jereboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive Out of their own land. 12. Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou Seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there : 13. But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court. 14. Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son ; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit: 15. And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel. 16. Now therefore hearthouthe word of the LORD : Thou Sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac. 17. Therefore thus saith the LORD ; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy Sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land. Matt. 10:16. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye there- fore wise as Serpents, and harmless as doves. 17. But beware of men: for they will de- liver you up to the councils, and they will Scourge you in their synagogues; 18. And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my Sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. 19. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. 20. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. 21. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. 22. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. 23. But when they per- secute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. 24. The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. 25. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household 2 [John 13:16.] 26. Fear them not therefore : for there is noth- ing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. 27. What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Matt. 23:34. Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city : 871 MINISTER. MIRACLES. 1 Cor. 2:1. And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testi- mony of God. , 2. For I determined not to know any thing among you, Save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: *. 1 Cor. 4:9. For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death : for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. 10. We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ ; we are weak, but ye are strong : ye are honourable, but we are de- spised. 11. Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling- place ; 12. And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it : 13. Being de- famed, we intreat : we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all,things unto this day. 2 Cor. 6:4. But in all things approving Ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in dis- tresses, 5. In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fast- ings; 6. By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, 7. By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, 8. By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report : as deceivers, and yet true : 9. As unknown, and yet well known ; as dying, and, behold, we live ; as chastened, and not killed ; 10. As sorrow- ful, yet alway rejoicing ; as poor, yet mak- ing many rich ; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. . 2 Cor. 7:5. For, when we were come into Macedonia, Our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears. 2 Cor. 11:23. In labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. 24. Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. 25. Thrice was I beaten with rods, Once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26. In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the Sea, in perils among false brethren ; 27. In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. 28. Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. 29. Who is weak, and I am not weak 2 who is offended, and I bilrn not? 30. If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities. 31. The God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not. 32. In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me: 33. And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands. 2 Cor. 12:7. And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9. And he said unto me, My grace is suffi- cient for thee: for my strength is made per- fect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 11. I am be- come a fool in glorying : ye have compelled me: for I Ought to have been commended of you : for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing. 12. Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. Gal. 4:13. Ye know how through infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first. 14. And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor re- jected ; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. Eph. 3:1. For this cause I Paul, the pris- oner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 13. Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. FALSELY ACCUSED.

And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel: 30. And Aaron spake all the words which the LORD had spoken unto Moses, and did the signs in the sight of the people. , 31. And the people believed: and when they heard that the TORD had visited the children of Israel, and that he had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and wor- shipped. Ex. 10:7. And Pharaoh's servants Said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed ? 16. Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you. 17. Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only. Ex. 12:31. And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and Said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said. 32. Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. 33. And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men. Ex. 14:25. The Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fight- eth for them against the Egyptians. 31. And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the peo- ple feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses. Judg. 6:17. If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me. 18. Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set it before thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again. 19. And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presented it. 20. And the angel of God Said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so. 21. Then the angel of the LORD put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the LORD depart- ed out of his sight. 22. And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of the LORD, Gideon said, Alas, O Lord GOD ! for because I have seen an angel of the LORD face to face. 36. And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said, 37. Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt Save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said. 38. And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water. 39. And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew. 40. And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground. Judg. 7:1. Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod : so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley. Dan. 3:28. Then, Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they 874 1IIRACLES.—CONVINCING EFFECT OF. might not serve nor worship any god, ex- cept their own God. 29. Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill : because there is no other God that can deliver after this SOrt. * Dan. 4:2. I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me. , 3. How great are his signs ! and how mighty are his won- ders his kingdom is an everlasting king- dom, and his dolniriiou is from generation to generation. Duke 5:4. Now when he had left speak- ing, he said unto Simon, Launch Out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 5. And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing : neverthe- less at thy word I will let down the net. 6. And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. 7. And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. 8. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, De- part from me; for I am a sinful man, O TOrd. 9. For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken : 10. And so apas also James, and John, the sons of Zebe- dee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not ; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. 11. And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him. John 2:11. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory ; and his disciples believed On him. 22. When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them ; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said. 23. Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. John 4:48. Then said Jesus unto him, Ex- cept ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe, 49. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. 50. Jesus saith unto him, Gothy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. 51. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy Son liveth. 52. Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. 53. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth : and himself believed, and his whole house. John 7:31. And many of the people be- lieved on him,and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? John 11:43. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus Saith unto them, LOOse him, and let him go. 45. Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. John 12:10. But the chief priests con- Sulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; 11. Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed On Jesus. John 20:30. And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31. But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his Ila, Iſle. Acts 8:6. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. Acts 9:32. And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the Saints which dwelt at Lydda. 33. And there he found a certain man named AEneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy. 34. And Peter Said unto him, AEneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately. 35. And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord. 36. Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tab- itha, which by interpretation is called Dor- cas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did. 37. And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. 38. And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Jop- pa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, de- siring him that he would not delay to come to them. 39. Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them. 40. But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 41. And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive. 42. And it was known through- out all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord. Acts 13:8. But Elymas the scorcerer (for 875 MIRACT,ES. —IDESIGN OF. so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. 9. Then Saul, (who also is called Paul.) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, 10. And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thow enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? 11. And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the Sun for a Season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. 12. Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord. Acts 19:13. Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. 14. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. 15. And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know ; but who are ye? 16. And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. 17. And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Tord Jesus was magnified. 18. And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. - Rom. 15:18. For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, 19. Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. See below, MIRACLES, DESIGN OF. DESIGN OF : Ex. 3:19. And I am Sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand. 20. And I will stretch out my hand, and Smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go. Ex. 4:2. And the LORD said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod. 3. And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a Serpent ; and Moses fled from before it. 4. And the LORD said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand : 5. That they may believe that the LORD God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee. 6. And the LORD said fur- thermore unto him, Put now thine hand in- to thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom ; and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as Snow. 7. And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his of/ver flesh. 8. And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe thee, neither hearken to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign. 9. And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest Out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land. Ex. 7:5. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I stretch forth mine hand upon Egypt, and bring out the children of Israel from among them. 17. Thus Saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD : behold, I will Smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood. Ex. 8:8. Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the DORD. 9. And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only 7 10. And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word : that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the LORD Our God. 22. And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there : to the end thou mayest know that I am? the LORD in the midst of the earth. Ex. 9:14. For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy Serv- ants, and upon thy people; that thou may- est know that there is none like me in all the earth. 15. For now I will stretch Out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth. 16. And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power ; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. 29. And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone Out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto the TORD; and the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth is the LORD's. Ex. 10:1. And the LORD said unto Moses, GO in unto Pharaoh : for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him : 2. And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's Son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them ; that ye may know how that I (tm) the TORD. 16. Then 876 MIRACLES.–DESIGN OF. Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have Sinned against the LORD your God, and against you. 17. Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin only this once, and intreat the LORD your God, that he may take away from me this death only. Ex. 11:1. And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: 7. But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast : that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel. 8. And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down them- selves unto me, saying, Get thee Out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger. 9. And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multi- plied in the land of Egypt. Ex. 12:29. And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dun- geon; and all the firstborn of cattle. 30. And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead. 31. And he called for MOSes and Aaron by night, and Said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said. 32. Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. 33. And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead 778,672. Ex. 14:4. And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host ; that the Egyptians may know that I &m the LORD. And they did so. 18. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. 24. And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, 25. And took off their chariot wheels. that they drave them heavily : so that the Egyptians Said, Let us flee from the face of Israel: for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians. 31. And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant Moses. Ex. 16:4. Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you ; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no. 5. And it shall come to pass, that On the sixth day, they shall prepare that which they bring in ; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. 6. And Mo- ses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you Out from the land of Egypt : Ex. 19:4. Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. 5. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then yeshall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine : 9. And the LORD Said unto Moses, T.O., I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. Num. 14:11. And the LORD said unto MO- Ses, How long will this people provoke me? and how long will it be ere they believeme, for all the signs which I have shewed among them? Num. 16:28. And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them. of mine own mind. 29. If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me. 30. But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit ; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD. 31. And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them : 32. And the earth opened her mouth, and swal- lowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. 33. They, and all that ap- pertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them : and they perished from among the congre- gation. 34. And all Israel that were round about them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us up also. 35. And there came out a fire from the LORD, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense. Num. 17:1. And the LORD spake unto Mo- ses, saying, 2. Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod. 3. And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers. 4. And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you. 5. And it shall come 877 MIRA (T.F.S.–I)ESIC; N OF. to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom ; and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the chil- dren of Israel, whereby they murmur against you. 6. And Moses spake unto the children of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according to their fathers' houses, ever, twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. 7. And MO- ses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness. 8. And it came to pass, that on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds. 9. And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of Is- rael: and they looked, and took every man his rod. 10. And the LORD said unto Mo- ses, Bring Aaron's rod again before the tes- timony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not. 11. And Moses did so : as the LORD Com- manded him, so did he. 12. And the chil- dren of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Be- hold, we die, we perish, we all perish. 13. Whosoever cometh any thing near unto the tabernacle of the LORD shall die: shall we be consumed with dying ? Deut. 4:33. Did ever people hear the voice of Godspeaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live 2 34. Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of (triother nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? 35. Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else be- side him. Deut. 11:1. Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his com- mandments, alway. 2. And know ye this day : for I speak not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm, 3. And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land; ſchapter 29:1–9.] 4. And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea to Over- flow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day ; 5. And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place ; 6. And what he did unto Dathan and Abi- ram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben : how the earth opened her mouth, and swal- lowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the Substance that was in their possession, in the midst of all Israel: 7. But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did. 8. There- fore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it : Deut. 29:5. And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not wax- en old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot. 6. Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God. Josh. 2:9. And she said unto the men, I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen uponus, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you. 10. For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Am- orites, that were on the other side Jor- dan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly de- stroyed. 11. And as Soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you : for the LORD your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath. Josh. 3:10. And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites. 11. Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan. Josh. 4:23. For the LORD your God dried up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the LORD your God did to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over : 24. That all the people of the earth might know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty : that ye might fear the LORD your God for ever. Josh. 5:1. And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the Sea, heard that the TORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the chil- dren of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the chil- dren. Of Israel. Judg. 2:7. And the people served the TORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that Outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD, that he did for Israel. 1 Sam. 6:6. Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let 878 MIRACLES.–DESIGN OF. the people go, and they departed ? 7. Now therefore make a new cart, and take two milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home from them : 8. And take the ark of the LORD, and lay it upon the cart; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return him for a trespass offering, in a coffer by the side thereof; and send it away, that it may go. 9. And see, if it goeth up by the way of his own coast to Beth- Shemesh, then he hath done us this great evil: but if not, then we shall know that it is not his hand that smote us; it was a chance that happened to us. vs. 10–18. 1 Sam. 12:17. Is it not wheat harvest to day ? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall Send thunder and rain ; that ye may per- ceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king. 18. So Samuel called unto the LORD ; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the peo- ple greatly feared the LORD and ś 1 Kin. 18:24. And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the TORD : and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people an- swered and said, It is well spoken. 37. Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. 38. Then the fire of the LORD fell, and con- Sumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 39. And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God: the LORD, he is the God. 2 Kin. 5:14. Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, ac- cording to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. 15. And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him : and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy Servant. 2 Chr. 7:1. Now when Solomon had made an end of praying, the fire came down from heaven, and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of the LORD filled the house. 2. And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD's house. 3. And when all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of the LORD upon the house, they bowed themselves with their faces to the ground upon the pavement, and worshipped, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. Psa. 78:10. They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law ; 11. And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them. 12. Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. 13. He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through ; and he made the waters to stand as an heap. 14. In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. 15. He clave the rocks in the Wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths. 16. He brought streams also Out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. 17. And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. 18. And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. 19. Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? 20. Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also 2 can he provide flesh for his people 21. Therefore the LORD heard this, and was Wroth: SO a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; 22. Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation : 23. Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and Opened the doors of heaven, 24. And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. 25. Man did eat angels' food; he sent them meat to the full. 26. He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the South wind. 27. He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea; 28. And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. 29. So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire; 30. They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, 31. The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. 32. For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works. - Psa. 106:9. He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up : So he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. , 10. And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. 11. And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left. 12. Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. Jer. 32:20. Which hast set signs and won- ders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and hast made thee a name, as at this day; Dan. 2:47. The king answered unto Dan- iel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest re- veal this secret. Dan. 3:28. Then, Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that 879 MIRACLES. —DESIGN OF. trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, ex- cept their own God. 29. Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. Dan. 6:20. And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and Said to T)aniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions : 21. Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. 22. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him in- nocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. 23. Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God. 24. And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den. 25. Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth ; Peace be multiplied unto you. 26. Imake a decree, That in every dominion of my king- dom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his do- minion shall be even unto the end. 27. He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. w Jonah 1:14. Wherefore they cried unto the LORD, and said, We beseech thee, O LORD, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us inno- cent blood: for thou, O LORD, hast done as it pleased thee. 15. So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea; and the sea. ceased from her raging. 16. Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and offered a Sacrifice unto the LORD, and made vows. Zech. 2:9. For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me. Matt. 4:3. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, Command that these stones be made bread. Luke 4:3,6. - Matt. 11:3. And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for an- other ? 4. Jesus answered and Said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and See: 5. The blind re- ceive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. Mark 2:9. Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? 10. But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to for- give sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) 11. I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. , 12. And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fash- ion. Luke 5:26. Luke 18:42. And Jesus said unto him, Re- ceive thy sight : thy faith hath saved thee. 43. And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God. John 2:11. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory ; and his disciples believed On him. John 4:48. Then said Jesus unto him, Ex- cept ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. John 5:36. But I have greater witness than that of John : for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. John 9:3. Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. John 11:4. When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby, 40. Jesus Saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?, 41. Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast. heard me. 42. And I knew that thou hear- est me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may be- lieve that thou hast sent me. Acts 2:22. Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know : Acts 3:1. Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 2. And a cer- tain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple; 880 MIRACLES. MISSIONS. 3. Who Seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms. 4. And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, Said, Look on us. 5. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive some- thing of them. 6. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 7. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up : and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God. 9. And all the people saw him walking and praising God: 10. And they knew that it was he which Sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him. Acts 4:21. For all men glorified God for that which was done. 22. For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed. 1 Cor. 1:22.

And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the Second time, saying, 2. Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that Ibidthee. [chapters 1,2..] 3. So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey. 4. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. 5. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. 6. For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7. And he caused it to be proclaimed and pub- lished through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: 8. But let man and beast be covered with Sack- cloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. 9. Who can tell if God will turn and rapent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not ? Matt. 24:14. And this gospel of the king- dom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Matt. 28:19. GO ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost : Mark 13:10. And the gospel must first be published among all nations. Mark 16:15. And he said unto them, Goye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Luke 24:47. And that repentance and re- mission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jeru- salem. 48. And ye are witnesses of these things. Acts 10:9. On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour : 10. And he be- came very hungry, and would have eaten : but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11. And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth : 12. Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13. And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14. But Peter said, Not so, Tord ; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15. And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. 16. This was done thrice : and the vessel was re- ceived up again into heaven. 17. Now while Peter doubted in himself what this vision which he had seen should mean, behold, the men which were sent from Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate, 18. And called, and asked whether Simon, which was surnamed Peter, were lodged there. 19. While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Be- hold, three men seek thee. 20. Arise there- fore, and get thee down, and go with them, doubting nothing : for I have sent them. Acts 13:2. As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work where- unto I have called them. 3. And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. 4. So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. 47. For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. Acts 26:14. And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. 15. And I said, Who art thou, Lord 2 And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. 16. But rise, and stand upon thy feet : for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; 17. Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, 18. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may re- ceive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. 1 Cor. 16:9.

And MOSes re- turned unto the LORD, and Said, T.Ord, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? why is it that thou hast sent me? 23. For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name, he hath done evil to this peo- ple ineither hast thou delivered thy people at all. IEx. 16:8. And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the LORD heareth your mur- murings which ye murmur against him : and what are we? your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD. 12. I have heard the murmurings of the children of Is- rael: speak unto them, Saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am? the TORD your God. Num. 14:26. And the TORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, 27. How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me. 28, Say unto them, As truly as I live, Saith the TORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, SO will I do to you : 29. Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me, 30. Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephun- neh, and Joshua, the son of Nun. 31. But your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, them will I bring in, and they shall know the land which ye have de- spised. 32. But as for you, your carcases, they shall fall in this wilderness. 33. And your children shall wander in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness. 34. After the number of the days in which ye searched the land, even forty days, each day for a year, shall a city of Benjamin, Josh. ye bear your iniquities, even forty years, and ye shall know my breach of promise. 35. I the LORD have said, I will surely do it unto all this evil congregation, that are gathered together against me: in this wil- derness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die. 36. And the men, which MOSes Sent to Search the land, who re- turned, and made all the congregation to murmur against him, by bringing up a slan- der upon the land, 37. Even those men that did bring up the evil report upon the land, died by the plague before the LORD. chap- ter 17:10,11. Job 15:11. Are the consolations of God Small with thee ? is there any secret thing with thee ? 12. Why doth thine heart carry thee away ? and what do thy eyes wink at, 13. That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth Ž Job 33:12. Behold, in this thou art not just : I will answer thee, that God is greater than man. 13. Why dost thou strive against him ? for he giveth not account of any of his matters. Job 34:37. He addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God. Psa. 37:1. Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. Psa. 44:9. But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies. 10. Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us Spoil for themselves. 11. Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast Scattered us among the heathen. 12. Thou Sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price. 13. Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a Scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. 14. Thou makest us a by- word among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. 15. My confusion łs continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, 16. For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. 17. All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. 18. Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; 19. Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. 20. If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched Out our hands to a strange god; 21. Shall not God Search this Out 2 for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. 22. Yea, for thy Sake are we killed all the day long : we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. 23. Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, Cast 7ts not Off for ever. 24. Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression ? 25. For our soul is bowed down to the dust : Our belly cleaveth unto the earth. 26. Arise for Our 887 MURMIURING. MUSIC. help, and redeem us for thy mercies' Sake. Psa. 73:13. Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in in- nocency. 14. For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morn- ing. 15. If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children. 16. When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; 17. Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then un- derstood I their end. 18. Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. 19. How are they brought into desolation, as in a mo- ment they are utterly consumed with ter- rors. 20. As a dream when one awaketh ; So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. 21. Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. 22. So foolish was I, and ignorant : I was as a beast before thee. Psa. 78:17. And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. 18. And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. 19. Yea, they spake against God; they Said, Can God furnish a table in the wilder- ness? 20. Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also 2 can he provide flesh for his people? 21. Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth : so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; Prov. 19:3. The foolishness of man per. verteth his way: and his heart fretteth against the TORD. Eccl. 7:10. Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these ? § thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this. Jer. 15:10. Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth ! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth curse me. Lam. 3:39. Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins ? - Mal. 3:14. Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his Ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts? Luke 10:40. But Martha was Cumbered about much Serving, and came to him, and Said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone 7 bid her there- fore that she help me. Rom. 9:19. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault 2 For who hath resisted his will? 20. Nay 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? 1 Cor. 10:10. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. Phil. 2:14. Do all things without murmur. ings and disputings: Jas. 5:9. Grudge not One against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door. Jude 16.

A musical term which ap- pears in 1 Chr. 15:20 and in the title of Psalm 46. It seems to indicate the rendering of the song by female voices, possibly So- prano. AL-TASCHITH. It appears in the titles of Psalms 57, 58, 59, 75, and seems to have been used to indicate the kind of Ode, or the kind of melody in which the ode should be Sung. See TIMBREL. SSS ...” MUSIC.—UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. HIGGAION. In Psa. 92:3, according to Gese- nius, it signifies the murmuring tone of a harp, and hence that the music should be rendered in a plaintive manner. In Psa. 9: 16, combined with “Selah,” it may have been intended to indicate a pause in the vocal music while the instruments rendered an interlude. In Psa. 19:14, Mendelssohn trans- lates it ‘‘meditation, thought.” Hence that the music was to be rendered in a mode to promote devout meditation. MAHALATH, MASCHIL, LEANNOTH. These terms are found in the titles of Psalm 53 and 88. Authorities grope in darkness as to their signification. They may indicate the in- struments to be played or the melody to be Sung. MASCHIL. This musical sign occurs in the titles of Psalms 32, 42, 44, 45, 52, 53, 54, 55, 74, 78, 88, 89, 142. The meaning is obscure. But its signification where it occurs elsewhere than in the titles of Psalms is equivalent to the English word “instruction,” or to be- come wise by instruction; hence Psa. 47.7, “Sing ye praises with understanding.” MICHTAM. A musical term in the titles of Psalms 16, 56, 57, 58–60. Tuther interprets as “golden,” that is, precious. Ewald in- terprets it as signifying a plaintive manner. MUTH-LABBEN, in the title of Psalm 9. Au- thorities, ancient and modern, differ as to the probable signification. Gesenius and De Wette interpret it, “with the voice of virgins, by boys.” Others derive the word from a different Hebrew root, and interpret it as indicating that the Psalm was a fu- neral Ode. NEGINAH and NEGINOTH appear in the titles of Psalms 4, 54, 55, 61, 67, and Hab. 3:19. Its use seems to have been to indicate that the song should be accompanied by stringed instruments. NEHILOTH, in the title of Psalm 5. It seems to indicate, according to Gesenius, that when this Psalm was sung it was to be accompanied by wind instruments. SELAH. This term appears frequently in the Psalms. Its use is not known. Possibly it signified a pause in the vocal music while an instrumental interlude or finale was rendered. SHEMINITH, in the titles of Psalms 6 and 12, translated “eighth,” probably indicates the measure, movement, or pitch. SHIGGAION, in the title of Psalm 7, and its plural, SHIGIONOTH, in the title of Hab. 3, are supposed to have been musical terms to guide in rendering the song. At the close of the chapter the author refers the ode “to the chief musician, on my stringed instruments.” The term may sug- gest the movement in interpreting the mu- sic set to it. SHOSHANNIM and SHUSHAN-EDUTH, in the titles to Psalms 45, 60, 69, 80, seem to indicate the manner in which these Psalms were to be rendered. Kimchi, Tremellius, and Eichhorn render it “hexachorda,” that is, that in singing these Psalms instruments of six strings were to accompany. UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELAT- ING TO : Gen. 31:27.

Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Is- rael, when the people willingly offered themselves. 3. Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD ; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel. vs. 1–31. gº Judg. 11:34. And Jephthah came to Miz. peh unto his house, and, behold, his daugh- ter came Out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child ; beside her he had neither son nor daughter. 1 Sam. 18:6. And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick. 7. And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. 2 Sam. 19:35. I am this day fourscore years old: . . . can Ihear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? 1 Kin. 1:40. And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them. 1 Chr. 6:31. And these are they whom Da- vid set over the service of Song in the house of the LORD, after that the ark had rest. 32. And they ministered before the dwelling place of the tabernacle of the congregation with singing, until Solomon had built the 889 MUSIC.–UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. house of the LORD in Jerusalem : and then they waited on their Office according to their Order. 1 Chr. 15:16. And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singer's with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy. 17. So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Bere- chiah ; and of the sons of Merari their breth- ren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah ; 18. And with them their brethren of the second de- gree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel, and She- miramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikmeiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the porters. 19. So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass; 20. And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth : 21. And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mik- neiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, and Aza- ziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel. 22. And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was for song: he instructed about the song, be- cause he was skilful. 24. And Shebaniah, and Jehoshaphat, and Nethaneel, and Amas- ai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Elie- zer, the priests, did blow with the trumpets before the ark of God: 27. And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen. 28. Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with Sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, making a noise with psalteries and harps. . 1 Chr. 16:4. And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the TORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel: 5. Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and She- miramoth, and Jehiel, Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom ; and Jeiel with pSalteries and harps; but Asaph made a Sound with cymbals; 6. Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continu- ally before the ark of the covenant of God. 7. Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the IORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren. 8.

Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that Seek the LORD. 11. Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. 12.

Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his Oath unto Isaac ; 17. And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an ever- lasting covenant, 18. Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance ; 19. When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it. 20. And 70/ven they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people; 21. He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, 22. Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my proph- ets no harm. 23. Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salva- tion. 24. Declare his glory among the heathen ; his marvellous works among all nations. 25. For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised : he also is to be feared above all gods. 26. For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. 27. Glory and honour are in his presence ; strength and gladness are in his place. 28. Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 29. Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. 30. Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved. 31. Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men, Say among the nations, The LORD reigneth. 32. Let the Sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein. 33.

And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise. 36. Blessed be the LORD GOd. Of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people Said, Amen, and praised the LORD. 37.

And Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters: 39.

And David divided them into courses among the Sons of levi, namely, Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. 27. For by the last words of David the Levites were numbered from twenty years old and above: 30. And to stand every morning to thank and praise the TLORD, and likewise at even ; 1 Chr. 25:1. Moreover David and the cap- tains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was: [vs. 2–4.] 5. All these were the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen Sons and three daughters. 6. All these were under the hands of their father for Song in the house of the LORD, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the Service of the house of God, according to the king's Order to Asaph, Jed- uthun, and Heman. 7. So the number of them, with their brethren that were in- structed in the Songs of the TORD, ever, all that were cunning, was two hundred four- Score and eight. 8. And they cast lots, ward against ward, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar. vs. 9–34. 2 Chr. 5:12. Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, hav- ing cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets: 13. It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make One sound to be heard in praising and thank- ing the LORD ; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy en- dureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD : 2 Chr. 20:19. And the Levites, of the chil- dren of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high. 21.

And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambush- ments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah ; and they were smitten. 28. And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD. 2 Chr. 23:13.

Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason. 18. Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distrib- uted in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt Offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David. 2 Chr. 29:25. And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psal- teries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's Seer, and Nathan the prophet : for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets. 26. And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets. 27. And Hezekiah com- manded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the Song of the LORD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ow'- dained by David king of Israel. 28. And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offer- ing was finished. 2 Chr. 31:2. And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priests and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, the priests and Tevites for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minis- ter, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the tents of the TORD. 2 Chr. 35:15. And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them. 25. And Jeremiah lamented for Jo- siah: and all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they age written in the lamentations.

And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trump- ets, and the Levites the Sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordi- nance of David king of Israel. 11. And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto the LORD ; because 891 MUSIC.–UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. Jºe is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid. Neh. 12:24. And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua, the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, accord- ing to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward. 27. And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cym- bals, psalteries, and with harps. 28. And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the vil- lages of Netophathi; 29. Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth : for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem. 30. And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall. 31. Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and ap- pointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate: ^jS. 32–47. .

And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in para- bles: Luke 8:10.

Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26. But now is made manifest, and by the scrip- tures of the prophets, according to the com- mandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 1 Cor. 2:7. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God Ordained before the world unto our glory: 8. Which none of the princes of this world knew : for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9. But as it is written, Eye hath not Seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 2 Cor. 3:12. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech: 13. And not as MOSes, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: 14. Sut their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old tes- tament; which wail is done away in Christ. 15. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. 16. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the Vail shall be taken away. 17. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18.

If a Soul sin, and commit a tres- pass against the LORD, and lie unto his neighbour in that which was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing taken away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbour; 3. Or have found that which was lost, and lieth concerning it, and swear- eth falsely ; in any of all these that a man doeth, sinning therein : 4. Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he has deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found, 5. Or all that about which he hath sworn falsely; he shall even restore it in the principal, and shall add the fifth part more thereto, and give it unto him to whom it appertaineth, in the day of his trespass offering.

Lord, who shall abide in thy tab- ernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill ? 2. He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. 3. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. |Prov. 3:28.

Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his cham- bers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's Service without wages, and giveth him not for his work; Isa. 58:6. Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the Oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke $ 7. Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast Out to thy house 2 when thou Seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? 8. Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee: the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. 9. Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer: thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking Vanity; 10. And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: 11. And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and Satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. 12. And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. , 13. If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure On my holy day; and call the sabbath a de- light, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own Ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor Speaking th??ve own words: 14. Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD ; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the JLORD hath spoken it. ye gave me no drink: Zech. 8:16. These are the things that ye shall do ; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: 17. And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD. Matt. 7:12. Therefore all things whatso- ever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Matt. 25:34. Then shall the King say unto them. On his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in : 36. Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37. Then shall the righteous answer him, Saying, Lord, when Saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee 3 or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38. When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in 7 or naked, and clothed thee 3' 39. Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I Say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat; I was thirsty, and 43. I was a Stranger, and ye took me, not in : naked, and ye clothed me not : sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, Or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45. Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46. And these shall go away into everlasting punish- ment: but the righteous into life eternal. Luke 10:25. And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26. He said unto him, What is written in the law Ż how readest thou? 27. And he answer- ing said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 28. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 30. And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his rai- ment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31. And by chance 898 NEIGHBOR. NIGHT. there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by On the other side. 32. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 34. And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and Set him. On his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and Said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will re- pay thce. 36. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 37. And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then Said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. IRom. 13:10. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Rom. 15:2. Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. Gal. 6:10. As we have therefore Oppor- tunity, let us do good unto all men, espe- cially unto them who are of the household Of faith. Heb. 13.3. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. Jas. 2:8. If ye fulfil the royal law accord- ing to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9. But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the lawas transgressors. See DUTY; MAN. NEKEB, a city in Naphtali, Josh. 19:33.

Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it. 6. Keep therefore and do them, for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and un- derstanding people. 9. Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy Soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but teach them thy Sons, and thy Sons' sons; 10. Spe- cłally the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD Said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children. 39. Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath : there is none else. 40.

And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and On thy gates. Us. 1-25. Deut. 8:1. All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. 2. And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilder- ness, to humble thee, and to prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. 3. And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know ; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. 4. Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. 5. Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. 6. Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. 11. Beware that thou forget not the TORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: 12. Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; 13. And Aphen thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied: 14. Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou for- get the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; 16. Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end; 17. And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. 18. But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. 19. And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship , them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. 20. As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before yourface, SO shall ye perish ; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God. Deut. 10:12. And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy Soul, 13. To keep the command- ments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good & Deut. 11:1. Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway. 2. And know ye this day : for I speak not with your chil- dren which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm, 3. And his mira- cles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land; S. Therefore shallye keep all the commandments which I com- mand you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it 9. And that ye may pro- long you?' days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey. 13. And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14. That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. 15. And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full. 16. Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve Other gods, and worship them ; 17. And they? the LORD's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you. 18. There- fore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your Soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontiets between your eyes. 19. And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 20. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates: 21. That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth. 22. For if ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him ; 23. Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves. 24. Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be your's: from the wilderness and Tebanon, 907 OBEDIENCE.—ENJOINED. from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be. 25. There shall no man be able to stand be- fore you : for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you. 26. Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; 27. A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: 28. And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turm aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known. 32. And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day. Deut. 13:4. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his com- mandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. T)eut. 26:16. This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. 17. Thou hast avouched the IORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice : 18. And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his com- mandments; T)eut. 27:1. And Moses with the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandments which I command you this day. 2. And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over Jordan unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, that thou shalf set thee up great stones, and plaister them with plaister: 3. And thou shalt write upon them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over, that thou mayest go in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey; as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee. 4. There- fore it shall be when ye be gone over Jor- dan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister. 5. And there shalt thou build an altar unto the LORD thy God, an altar of stones: thou shalt not lift up any iron tool upon them. 6. Thou shalt build the altar of the LORD thy God of whole stones: and thou shalt offer burnt offerings thereon unto the LORD thy God : 7. And thou shalt offer peace offer- ings, and shalt eat there, and rejoice before the IORD thy God. 8. And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly. 9. And Moses and the priests the Levites Spake unto all Israel, saying, Take heed, and hearken, O Israel; this day thou art become the people of the LORD thy God. 10. Thou shalt therefore obey the voice of the LORD thy God, and do his com- mandments and his statutes, which I com- mand thee this day. Deut. 28:1. And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will Set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2. And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. 3. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. 4. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 5. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. 6. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 7. The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face : they shall come Out against thee One way, and flee be- fore thee seven ways. 8. The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy store- houses, and in all that thou Settest thine hand unto ; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 9. The LORD shall establish thee an holy peo- ple unto himself, as he hath Sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. 10. And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the TORD : and they shall be afraid of thee. 11. And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD Sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 12. The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand : and thou shalt lend untomany nations, and thoushaltnotborrow. 13. And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearkenunto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them : 14. And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them. 15. But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and over- take thee: 16. Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field., 17. Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. 18.

The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. 22. The LORD shall Smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the Sword, and with blasting, and with mildew ; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish. , 23. And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. 24. The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust : from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed. 25. The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them : and shalt be re- moved into all the kingdoms of the earth. 26. And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away. 27. The LORD will Smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. 28. The LORD shall Smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart. 29. And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall Save thee. 30. Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her : thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein : thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof. 31. Thine Ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently" taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them. 32. Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with loyaging for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand. 33. The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up ; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway : 34. So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt See. 35. The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. 36. The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known ; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. 37. And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee. 38. Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in ; for the locust shali consume it. 39.

He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him : he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. 45. Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed ; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee. 46. And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. 47. Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; 48. Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. 49. The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth ; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not un- derstand ; 50. A nation of fierce counte- nance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young : 51. And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be de- stroyed : which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee. 52. And he shall be- siege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land; and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates through- out all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. 53. And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, where with thine ene- mies shall distress thee: 54. So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave : 55. So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat : because he 909 QBEDIENCE. – ENJOINEI). hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, where with thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. 56. The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husbandof her bosom, and toward herson, and toward her daughter, 57. And toward her young one that cometh out from be- tween her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear : for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, where with thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. 58. If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD: 59. Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and SOre sick- nesses, and of long continuance. 60. More- over, he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. 61. Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be de- stroyed. 62. And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude ; because thou would- est not obey the voice of the LORD thy God. 63. And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. 64. And the LORD shall Scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. 65. And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest : but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and Sorrow of mind: 66. And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life: 67. In the morning thou shalt Say, Would God it were even and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning ! for the fear of thine heart where with thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 68. And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again : and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bond women, and no man shall buy you. Deut. 32:46. And he [Moses] said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.

Josh. 23:6. Be yetherefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left; 7. That ye come not among these na- tions, these that remain among you; nei- ther make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to Swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them : Josh. 24:14. Fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served, . . . and serve ye the LORD. 15. If it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; 1 Sam. 12:24. Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart : for consider how great things he hath done for OUI. y 1 Sam. 15:22. Samuel Said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sac- rifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams, 2 Kin. 17:37. And the statutes, and the Ordinances, and the law, and the Command- ment, which he wrote for you, ye shall ob- serve to do for evermore ; and he shall not fear other gods. 38. And the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget: neither shall ye fear other gods. 1 Chr. 16:15. Be ye mindful always of his covenant ; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations: 1 Chr. 28:9. And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a will- ing mind : for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee; but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever. 10. Take heed now ; for the LORD hath chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary : be strong, and do it. 20. And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it : fear not, nor be dismayed, for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the Serv- ice of the house of the LORD. Ezra 7:10. For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments. 23.

He that hath my com- mandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me : and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Gal. 3:10. For as many as are of the works Of the law are under the curse : for it is written, Cursed is every one that continu- eth not in all things which are written in the book Of the law to do them. 12. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Gal. 5:3. I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Eph. 4:1. I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation where with ye are called, 17. Henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, Eph. 6:6. As the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart: 7. With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: 8. Whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. Phil. 2:12. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 1 Tim. 6:14. That thou keep this com- mandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of Our Lord Jesus Christ: 18. That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to com- municate : Heb. 13:16. To do good and to communi- cate forget not : for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. Jas. 1:22. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24. For he be- holdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25. But whoso looketh into the per- fect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer : º wºrk, this man shall be blessed in his €62Ol.

For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, Saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9. Not according to the cove- nant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt : because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, Saith the Lord. 10. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, Saith the Lord ; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts., and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11. And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord : for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 13. In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first Old. Now that which de- cayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish a Way. * Heb. 9:1. Then verily the first covenant had also Ordinances of divine Service, and a worldly Sanctuary. 2. For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shew- bread; which is called the Sanctuary. 3. And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest Of all: 4. Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had man- na, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant ; 5. And Over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercy- Seat; of which we cannot now speak par- ticularly. , 6. Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the serv ice of God. 7. But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: 8. The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: 9. Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and Sacrifices, that could not make him that did the Service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience ; 10. Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal Ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. 11. But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building ; 12. Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, Sanctifieth to the purifying of the fiesh : 14. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself with- out spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God 8 15. And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Heb. 10:1. For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2. For then would they not have ceased to be Offered 3 because that the wor- shippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3. But in those sac- 7"ifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 5. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6. In burnt offer- ings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7. Then Said I, LO, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 8. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offer- ings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein ; which are offered by the law ; 9. Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10. By the which will we are sanc- tified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offer- ing oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God: 18. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. 19. Hav- ing therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20. By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh, See ORDINANCE. 914 OFFERINGS.–MEAT—PEACE—SIN--SPECIAL---THANK---TRESPASS.

And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and Sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. Psa. 40:6. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. Psa. 50:8. I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me. 9. I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds. 10. For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thou- Sand hills. 11. I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. 12. If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. 13. Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats? 14. Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High : Psa. 51:16. For thou desirest not sacrifice: else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Prov. 21:3. To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than Sacrifice. 27. The sacrifice of the wicked is abomina- tion: how much more when he bringeth it with a wicked mind? Isa. 1:11. To what purpose is the multi- tude of your sacrifices unto me? Saith the LORD : I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I de- light not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. 12. When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 13. Bring no more vain oblations: incense is an abom- ination unto me; the new moons and sab- baths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with ; it is iniquity, even the Soleman meeting. 14. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. Isa. 40:16. Aud Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering. Isa. 66:3. He that killeth an ox is as if he slew a man; he that Sacrificeth a lamb, as if he cut off a dog's neck; he that offer- eth an oblation, as ºf he offered swine's blood: he that burneth incense, as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations. Jer. 6:20. To what purpose cometh there to me incense from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a far country' your burnt offer- ings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices Sweet unto me. Jer. 7:21. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh. 22. For I spake not unto your fathers, nor com- manded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: 23. But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. Jer. 14:12. When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offer- ing and an Oblation, I will not accept them : but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence. Hos. 6:6. For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Hos. 8:13. They sacrifice flesh for the sac- rifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he re- member their iniquity, and visit their sins: Amos 5:21. I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your Solemn assemblies. 22. Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them : neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. , 23. Take thou away from me the noise of thy Songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. 24. But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream. Mic. 6:6. Where with shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt 915 OFFERINGS. OLD AGE. offerings, with calves of a year old 2 7. Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my trans- gression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8. He hath shewed thee, O man, what is g ).) l ; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? Mark 12:33. And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good Old age. Gen. 47:9. And Jacob Said unto Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been, and have not attained unto the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage. Deut. 34:7. And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. 2 Sam. 19:34. And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem 2 35. I &m, this day fourscore years old : and can I discern between good and evil? can thy serv- ant taste what I eat or what I drink 2 can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women 2 wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king? 36. Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward? 37. Let thy Servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. 1 Chr. 29:28. And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honour: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead. Job 5:26. Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. Job 11:17. Thine age shall be clearer than the noonday ; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning. Job 42:17. Job 12:12. With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. Job 32:4. Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he. 5. When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled. 6. And Elihu the Son of Barachel the Buzite answered and Said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion. 7. I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom. 8. But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding. 9. Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. Psa. 71:9. Cast me not Off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth. 18. Now also when I am Old and greyheaded, O God, forsake me not ; until I have shewed thy strength unto this gen- eration; and thy power to every one that is to COme. Psa. 90:10. The days of our years are threeScore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow ; for it is Soon cut off, and we fly away. Psa. 92:14. They shall still bring forth 916 OILD AGE. fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flour- ishing ; Psa. 148:12. Both young men, and maid- ens; Old men, and children: 13.

If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he. 6. Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good : do not all go to one place 2 Eccl. 12:1. Remember now, thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, northe years draw migh, when thou shalt Say, I have no pleasure in them; 2. While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: 3. In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be dark- ened, 4. And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the Sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low ; 5. Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: 6. Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be bro- ken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Isa. 46:4. Even to your old age I &m he and even to hoar hairs will I carry you.' I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you. Luke 2:37. And she was a widow of about fourScore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. Tit. 2:2.

They would none of my counsel; they despised all my reproof. 31. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own de- vices. 32. For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. 33. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. Jer. 8:20. The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. - Ezek. 3:19. Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. chapter 33:1–17. Hos. 5:6. They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD ; but they shall not find him ; he hath withdrawn himself from them. Matt. 10:14. And whosoever shall not re- ceive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judg- ment, than for that city. Matt. 11:20. Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not : 21. Woe unto thee, Chorazin' woe unto thee, Bethsaidal for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in Sackcloth and ashes. 22. But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. 23. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained un- til this day. 24. But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land Of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee. Matt. 23:34. Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and Scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify , and some of them shall ye scourge in your Synagogues, and persecute them. from city to city : 35. That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. 36. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. 37. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thout that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are Sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her 918 OPPORTUNITY. —THE MEASURE OF RESPONSIBILITY. wings, and ye would not 38. Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. Matt. 25:1. Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them : 4. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh ; go ye out to meet him. 7. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil ; for our lamps are gone out. 9. But the wise answered, saying, Not so lest there be not enough for us and you : but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came ; and they that were ready went in with him to the mar- riage: and the door was shut. 11. After- ward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12. But he an- swered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh, 14. For the king- dom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. [Luke 19:12–27.] 15. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another One: to every man according to his several abil- ity; and straightway took his journey. 16. Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. 17. And likewise he that had received two, he also gained Other two. 18. But he that had received One went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. 19. After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reck- Oneth with them. 20. And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. 21. His lord said unto him, Well done, thout good and faithful servant : thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler Over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 22. He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliv- eredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. 23. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant ; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler Over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 24. Then he which had re- ceived the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reap- ing where thou hast not sown, and gather- ing where thou hast not strawed ; 25. And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth : lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26. His iord answered and Said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I Sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27. Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and them at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. 28. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 29. For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abun- dance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into Outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gmashing of teeth. 31. When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32. And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them. One from another, as a shep- herd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33. And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the founda- tion of the world : 35. For I was an hun- gred, and ye gave me meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in : 36. Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37. Then shall the righteous answer him, say- ing, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee 2 or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38. When saw we thee a stranger and took thee in 2 or naked,and clothed thee; 39. Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee ? 40. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I Say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto One of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41. Then shall he Say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink : 43. I was a stranger, and ye took me not in : naked, and ye clothed me not : sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44. Then shall they also answer him, say- ing, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee ? 45. Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did Žt not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment : but the right- eous into life eternal. Duke 12:47. And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. Luke 13:25. When once the master of the 919 OPPORTUNITY. OPPRESSION. house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, Saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and Say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: 26. Then shall ye begin to Say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. 27. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are ; de- part from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 28. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out. Duke 14:16. Then said he unto him, A cer- tain man made a great Supper, and bade many : 17. And Sent his servant at Supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come ; for all things are now ready. 18. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it : I pray thee have me excused. 19. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them : I pray thee have me excused. 20. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot Come. 21. So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry Said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 22. And the servant said, Lord; it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 23. And the lord said unto the Serv- ant, Go Out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 24. For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my Supper. See JUDGMENT, ACCORDING TO OPPOR- TUNITY; RESPONSIBILITY. OPPRESSION. God is a refuge from, Psa. 9:9.

Thou shalt not oppress an hired Servant that is poor and needy, whether /e Öe of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that (tre in thy land within thy gates: 15.

Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand. 2. And they covet fields, and take them by violence: and houses, and take them away; so they Oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. 3.

Thy princes are rebellious, . . . . they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. Isa. 10:1. Woe unto them that decree un- righteous decrees, . . . 2. . . . That they may rob the fatherless! Jer, 5:28. They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked : they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. Jer. 7:6. If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, . . . 7. Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. Jer. 22:3. Thus Saith the LORD ; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppress- or ; and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, Jer. 49:11. Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; Hos. 14:3. Neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy. Mal. 3:5. I will be a swift witness against . . . those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, Jas. 1:27.

Ex. 10:2. And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy Son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my igns which T have done among them ; that ye may know how that I am the LORD. Ex. 12:26. And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service Z 27. That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's pass- over, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and wor- shipped. - Ex. 13:8. And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth Out of Egypt. 14. And it shall 925 PARENTS.–UNCLAssified SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this ? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage : Ex. 20:5. Thou shalt not bow down thy- self to them, nor serve them : for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the in- iquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; [Lam. 5:7.] 10. But the Sev- enth day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God : in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: Ex. 21:17. And he that curseth his fa- ther, or his mother, shall Surely be put to death. Lev. 20:9. For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death : he hath cursed his father or his mother ; his blood shall be upon him. Lev. 23:3. Six days shall work be done: but the Seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work there in : it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings. Deut. 4:9. Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but teach them thy Sons, and thy Sons' sons; 10. Specially the day that thou stood- est before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the peo- ple together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children. Deut. 6:7. And thou shalt teach them dil- igently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 20. And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean, the testi- monies, and the statutes, and the judg- ments, which the LORD Our God hath com- manded you ? 21. Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the TORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand: 22. And the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes: 23. And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto Our fathers. 24. And the LORD commanded us to do all these stat- utes, to fear the LORD Our God, for Our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. Deut. 11:18. Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. 19. And ye shall teach thcm your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walk- est by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 20. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates: 21. That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD Sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth. Deut. 32:46. Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. Psa. 78:5. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commaned our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: 6. That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born ; who should arise and declare them to their children : Psa. 103:13. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. Prov. 3:12. Whom the LORD loveth he correcteth ; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth. Prov. 13:22. A good an an leaveth an in- heritance to his children's children: 24. He that spareth his rod hateth his son : but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes. Prov. 19:18. Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy Soul spare for his crying. Prov. 22:6. Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. 15.

Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. 14. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his Soul from hell. . Prov. 27:11. My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me. Prov. 29:15. The rod and reproof give wisdom ; but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. 17.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him : fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. 8. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. 9. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the TORD, they shall inherit the earth. Prov. 15:18. A wrathful man stirreth up strife: but he that is slow to anger appeas- eth striſe. Eccl. 7:8. The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. 9. Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. Lam. 3:26. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the Salvation of the LORD. 27. It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. Duke 8:15. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. Luke 21:19. In your patience possess ye your Souls. Rom. 2:7. To them who by patient con- tinuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: Rom. 5:3. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribula- tion worketh patience; 4. And patience, experience; and experience, hope: Rom. 8:25. But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Rom. 12:12. Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; -- Rom. 15:4. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for Our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. 5.

But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in dis- tresses, 5. In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fast- ings; 6. By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, 2 Cor. 12:12. Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in Signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. Gal. 6:9. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. - Eph. 4:1. I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation where with ye are called, 2. With all lowliness and meekness, with long- suffering, forbearing one another in love; Col. 1:10. That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11. Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Col. 3:12. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any : even as Christ for- gave you, So also do ye. 1 Thess. 1:3. Remembering without ceas- ing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 1 Thess. 5:14. Now we exhort you, breth- ren, . . . be patient toward all men. 2 Thess. 3:5. The Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. 1 Tim. 3:2. A bishop then must be blame- less, the husband of one wife, vigilant, Sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach ; 3. Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre: but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 1 Tim. 6:11. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteous- ness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meek- IlêSS. 2 Tim. 2:24. The Servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25. In meekness instruct- ing those that oppose themselves; Tit. 2:1. But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: 2. That the aged men be . . . Sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 9. Eachort Servants to be obe- dient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again ; Heb. 6:12. That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and 9.28 PATIENCE. PATRIOTISM. patience inherit the promises. 15. And So, PATRIARCH, head of a family, Acts after he had patiently endured, he obtained 7:9 the promise. Heb. 10:36. Ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. Heb. 12:1. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with SO great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth SO easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Jas. 1:3. Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and Enfire, wanting nothing. 19. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath : Jas. 5:7. Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 1 Pet. 2:19. For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. 20. For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently 3 but if, when ye do well, and suffer for ºt, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 21. For even hereunto were ye called: be- cause Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth : 23. Who, when he was re- viled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not : 2 Pet. 1:5. And beside this, giving all dili- gence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6. And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; Rev. 1:9. I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, Rev. 13:10. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the Sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the Saints. Rev. 14:12. Here is the patience of the Saints: here are they that keep the com- mandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. See kindred topics, LONGSUFFERING: MEEKNESS.

And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein ; 2. That thou shalt take Of the first Of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a baskct, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name there. 3. And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us. 4. And the priest shall take the basket Out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God. 5. And thou shalt speak and say before the LORD thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and Sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and popu- lous: 6. And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage. 7. And when we cried unto the LORD God of our fathers, the LORD heard Our voice, and looked on Our affliction, and Our labour, and Our oppression : 8. And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders: 9. And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, ever, a land that floweth with milk and honey. 10. And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before the LORD thy God, and worship before the LORD thy God : 11. And thou shalt rejoice in every good th?”g which the LORD thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among 7Oll. - y Judg. 5:1. Then sang Deborah and Barak the Son of Abinoam on that day, saying, 2. Praise ye the LORD for the avenging of Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves. 3. Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD ; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel. 4. LORD, when thou wentest Out of Seir, when thou marchedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, and the heavens dropped, the clouds also dropped water. 5. The mountains melted from be- fore the LORD, even that Sinai from before the LORD God of Israel. 6. In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were unoccupied, and the travellers walked through byways, (59) 929 PATRIOTISM. 7. The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that I Deborah arose, that I arose a mother in Israel. 8. They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel ? 9. My heart is toward the governors of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the LORD. , 10. Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that Sit in judg- ment, and walk by the way. 11. They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of drawing water, there shall they rehearse the righteous acts of the LORD, even the righteous acts toward the inhabitants of his villages in Israel: then shall the people of the LORD go down to the gates. 12. Awake, awake, Deborah: awake, awake, utter a Song: arise, . Barak, and lead thy captivity captive, thou Son of Abinoam. 13. Then he made him that re- maineth have dominion over the nobles among the people: the LORD made me have dominion over the mighty. 14. Out of Ephraim was there a root of them against Amalek; after thee, Benjamin, among thy people ; out of Machir came down governors, and out of Zebulun they that handle the pen of the writer. 15. And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah; even [SSachar, and also Barak: he was sent on foot into the valley. For the divisions of Reuben there were great thoughts of heart. 16. Why abodest thou among the sheepfolds, to hear the bleatings of the flocks? For the divi- sions of Reuben there were great searchings of heart. 17. Gilead abode beyond Jordan: and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore, and abode in his breaches. 18. Zebulun and Naphtali were a people that jeoparded their lives unto the death in the high places of the field. , 19. The kings came and fought : then fought the kings of Canaan in Taan- ach by the waters of Megiddo; they took no gain of money. 20. They fought from heaven ; the stars in their courses fought against Sisera. 21. The river of Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon. O my soul, thou hast trod- den down strength. 22. Then were the horsehoofs broken by the means of the pransings, the pransings of their mighty ones. 23. Curse ye Meroz, said the angel of the LORD, curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof; because they came not to the help of the LORD, to the help of the LORD against the mighty. 24. Blessed above women shall Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite be : blessed shall she be above women in the tent. 25. He asked water, and she gave him milk ; she brought forth butter in a lordly dish. 26. She put her hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workmen's hammer; and with the hammer she smote Sisera, she smote off his head, when she had pierced and stricken through his tem- ples. 27. At her feet he bowed, he fell, he —mº lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there he fell down dead. 28. The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming 8 why tarry the wheels of his chariots ; 29. Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself, 30. Have they not sped ? have they not divided the prey; to every man a damsel or two ; to Sisera, a prey of divers colours, a prey of divers colours of needlework, of divers colours of needlework on both sides, meet for the necks of them, that take the spoil? 31. So let all thine ene- mies perish, O LORD : but let them that love him be as the Sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the land had rest forty years. - Psa. 51:18. Do good in thy good pleasure lº Zion : build thou the walls of Jerusa- €1]]. Psa. 85:1. LORD, thou hast been favour- able unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob 2. Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people ; thou hast cov- ered all their sin. 3. Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. 4. Turn us, O God of our Salvation, and cause thine an- ger toward us to cease. 5. Wilt thou be angry with us for ever ? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? 6. Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee ? 7. Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. 8. I will hear what God the LORD will speak : for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. 9. Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. 10. Mercy and truth are met together; and righteousness and peace have kissed each other. 11. Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. 12. Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. 13. Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps. Psa. 122:6. Pray for the peace of Jerusa- lem: they shall prosper that love thee. 7. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. Psa. 128:5. The LORD shall bless thee Out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Je- rusalem all the days of thy life. 6. Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel. Psa. 137:1. By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we re- membered Zion. 2. We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. 3. For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion. 4. How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land? 5. If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right 930 PATRIOTISM. PAUT. hand forget her catawning. 6. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy. Isa. 62:1. For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the Salvation there- of as a lamp that burneth. Jer. 8:11. For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, Say- ing, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. 21. For the hurt of the daughter of my peo- ple am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me. 22. Is there 110 balm in Gilead 2 is there no physician there ? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered ? Jer. 9:1. Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people ! 2. Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my peo- ple, and go from them for they be all adul- terers, an assembly of treacherous men. Tam. 5:1. Remember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our re- proach. 2. Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens. 3. We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows. 4. We have drunken Our water for money; our wood is sold unto us. 5. Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest. 6. We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the ASSyri- ans, to be satisfied with bread. 7. Our fa- thers have sinned, and (/re not ; and we have borne their iniquities. 8. Servants have ruled over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand. 9. We gat our bread with the peril of our lives because of the Sword Of the wilderness. 10. Our skin was black like an Oven because of the ter- rible famine. 11. They ravished the wom- en in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah. 12. Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured. 13. They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood. 14. The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their musick. 15. The joy of Our heart is ceased: our dance is turned into mourning. 16. The crown is fallen from Our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned 17. For this Our heart is faint : for these things our eyes are dim. 18. Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it. 19. Thou, O LORD, re- mainest for ever; thy throne from genera- tion to generation. 20. Wherefore dost thou forget us for ever, and forsake us SO long time? 21. Turn thou us unto thee, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old. 22. But thou hast utterly rejected us; thou art very Wroth against us. See COUNTRY, LOVE OF. INSTANCES OF: Moses, Heb. 11:24–26. Deborah, Judg. 4; 5. The tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali, Judg. 5:18–20.

And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him : 24. But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 25. Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket. 29. And he spake boldly in the name of the LOrd Jesus, and disputed against i. Grecians: but they went about to slay lllll. Acts 16:19. And when her masters saw that the hope Of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers, 20. And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble Our city, 21. And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, nei- ther to observe, being Romans. 22. And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and Commanded to beat them. 23. And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: 24. Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. 25.

And now, behold, I go bound in the Spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 23. Save that the Holy Ghost witnessell) in every city, Saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 24. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, SO that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have re- ceived of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gos- pel of the grace of God. Acts 21:13. What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. 27. And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him, 28. Crying out, Men of Israel, help : This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place. 29. (For they had seen before with him in the city Troph- imus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.) 30. And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut. 31. And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar. 32. Who immediately took Soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them : and when they saw the chief captain and the Soldiers, they left beating of Paul. 33. Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him, to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done. Acts 22:22. And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their 933 PAUL.—TERSECUTIONS ENDURIED DY. voices, and Said, Away with such a fellow from the earth : for it is not fit that he should live. , 23. And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air, 24. The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him. - Acts 23:10. And when there arose a great dissension, the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have been pulled in pieces of them, commanded the soldiers to go down, and to take him by force from among them, and to bring him into the castle. 12. And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a Curse, Saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. 13. And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy. 14. And they came to the chief priests and elders, and said, 'We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul. 15. Now therefore ye with the coun- cil signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to morrow, as though ye would enquire Something more perfectly concerning him ; and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill him. Rom. 8:35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ 2 shall tribulation, or dis- tress, or persecution, or famine, or naked- ness, or peril, or sword ž 36. As it is writ- ten, For thy Sake we are killed all the day long : we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 1 Cor. 4:9. For I think that God hath Set forth us the apostles last, as it were ap- pointed to death: for we are made a specta- cle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. 11. Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling- place; 12. And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we sufferit: 13. Being defamed, we intreat : we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. 2 Cor. 1:8. For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed Out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 9. But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in Ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: 10. Who delivered us from So great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us; 2 Cor. 4:8. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we aré perplexed, but not in despair; 9. Persecuted, but not forsaken ; cast down, but not destroyed; 10. Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in Our mortal flesh. 12. So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 2 Cor. 6:4. But in all things approving Ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in dis- tresses, 5. In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fast- ings; 8. By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and get true; 9. As unknown, and yet well known ; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; 10. As sorrow- ful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet mak- ing many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. 2 Cor. 11:23. Are they ministers of Christ'? (I speak as a fool) I am more ; in labours more abundant, in Stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. 24. Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. 25. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suf- fered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep ; 26. In journeyings often, 777 perils of waters, in perils of robbers, £7, perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in per- ils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren ; 27. In weari- ness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. 32. In Damascus the gov- ernor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me: 33. And through a win- dow in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands. 2 Cor. 12:10. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. Gal. 5:11. And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecu- tion ? then is the Offence of the Cross ceased. Gal. 6:17. From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. 1 Thess. 3:4. Phil. 1:30. Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me. Phil. 2:17. Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. 18. For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me. Col. 1:24. Who now rejoice in my suffer- ings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: 1 Thess. 2:2. Even after that we had suf- fered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in Our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention. 14. For ye also have suffered like things of your own coun- trymen, even as they have of the Jews: 934 FAUT. PEACE. 15. Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us: 2 Tim. 1:12. For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have be- lieved, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 2 Tim. 2:9. Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. 10. Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the Salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 2 Tim. 3:11. Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra : what persecutions I endured: but Out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 2 Tim. 4:16. At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me : I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. 17. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their tres- pass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me; 41. And that I also have walked con- trary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their in- iquity: 42. Then will I remember my cov- enant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember ; and I will re- member the land. Num. 5:6. Speak unto the children of Is- rael, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty; 7.

Deut. 4:29. But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. 30. When thou art in tribula- lation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; 31. (For the LORD thy God is a merciful God ) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. Deut. 5:29. Othat there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever ! Deut. 30:1. And it shall come to pass, when 1. An Ephraimite, 1 Chr. 988 PENITENT. all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set be- fore thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee, 2. And shalt re- turn unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul; 3. That then the LORD thy God will turn thy cap- tivity, and have compassion upon thee, and Will return and gather thee from all the na- tions, whither the LORD thy God hath scat- tered thee. 4. If any of thine be driven Out unto the Outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee : 5. And the LORD thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou Shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. 6. And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and With all thy Soul, that thou mayest live. 7. And the LORD thy God will put all these Curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. 8. And thou shalt return and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day. 9. And the LORD thy God will make thee plentedus in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land, for good: for the LORD will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers: 10. If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul. 2 Kin. 22:19. Because thine heart was ten- der, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spake against this place, and against the inhabit- ants thereof, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the TORD. 1 Chr. 28:9. And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind: for the LORD searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee: but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee Off for ever. Job 22:23. If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. 24. Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophiras the stones of the brooks. 25. Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. 26. For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. 27. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy VOWS, 28. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. 29. When ºne), are cast down, then thou shalt Say, There is lifting up ; and he shall save the humble person. Job 23:6. Will he plead against me with his great power ? No; but he would put Strength in me. Job 33:26. He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him : and he shall see his face with joy: for he will ren- der unto man his righteousness. 27. He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have Sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; 28. He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. Psa. 6:8. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the TORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. 9. The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will re- Celve my prayer. Psa. 9:10.

The meek shall eat and be sat- isfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him : your heart shall live for ever. Psa. 24:3. Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who shall stand in his holy place? 4. He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his sal- vation. 6. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Psa. 32:5. I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I Said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD ; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. 6. For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of ſº waters they shall not come nigh unto lli Yl. Psa. 34:18. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Psa. 51:17.

If the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall Surely live, he shall not die. 22. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him : in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 23. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? Saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? Ezek. 33:10–16. Matt. 5:4. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Matt. 6:14. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matt. 7:7. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find ; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: [Luke 11:9-13.] 8. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth ; and to him that knock- eth it shall be opened. 9. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? 10. Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent 2 11. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him 3 Matt. 11:28. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matt. 12:20. A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. 31. Wherefore Isay unto you, Allmanner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. Luke 12:10. Matt. 18:11. For the Son of man is COme to save that which was lost. Luke 19:10. Luke 4:18.

Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be for- given : Luke 15:4. What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilder- ness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it 3 5. And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6. And when he cometh home, he calleth to- gether his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. 7. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven Over One sinner that repenteth, more than Over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. [Matt. 18:12–14.] 8. Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek dili- gently till she find it * 9. And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. 10. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. 11. And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12. And the younger of them said to his fa- ther, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13. And not many days after the younger son gathered all to- gether, and took his journey into a far Country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat ; and no man gave unto him. 17. And when he came to him- self, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger | 18. I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19. And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as One of thy hired servants. 20. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet : 23. And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it ; and let us eat, and be merry: 24. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. 25. Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. 26. And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. 27. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come ; and thy fa- ther hath killed the fatted calf, because he 940 PENITENT. PERFECTION. hath received him safe and Sound. 28. And he was angry, and would not go in : there- fore came his father out, and intreated him. 29. And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I Serve thee, nei- ther transgressed I at any time thy com- mandment ; and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: 30. But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. 31. And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. 32. It was meet that We should make merry, and be glad : for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. Luke 18:10. Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as Other men (17'e, extor- tioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12. Ifast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13. And the pub- lican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but Smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner, 14. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased ; and he that humbleth him- self shall be exalted. John 6:37. Him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out. John 10:9. I am the door : by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and Out, and find pasture. Acts 13:38. Be it known unto you there- fore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 39. And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. Rom. 10:9. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10. For with the heart man believeth unto right- eousness; and with the mouth Confession is made unto salvation. 11. For the Scripture Saith, Whosoever believeth. On him shall not be ashamed. 12. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek : for the same Lord Over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 1 John 1:9. If we confess Our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us ontº' sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

The disciple is not above his master; but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. 1 Cor. 2:6. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: 2 Cor. 7:1. Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfect- ing holiness in the fear of God. 2 Cor. 13:9. For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection. 11. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of One mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. Eph. 4:11. And he gave some, apostles; and SOme, prophets; and some, evangelists; and SOme, pastors and teachers: 12. For the perfecting of the Saints, 13. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ : Phil. 1:10. That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may bo sin- cere and without offence till the day of Christ : Phil. 2:15. That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world : Phil. 3:12. Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15. Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. Col. 1:21. And you, that were Sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22. In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 28. Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may pre- sent every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Col. 2:9. For in him dwelleth all the ful- ness of the Godhead bodily. 10. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11. In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision Of Christ : Col. 3:14. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfect- 1162.SS. Col. 4:12. Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, Saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will Of God. 1 Thess. 3:10. Night and day praying ex- ceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith ? 13. To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ with all his Saints. 2 Tim. 2:1. Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 Tim. 3:17. That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. Heb. 6:1. Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection: Heb. 10:14. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Heb. 13:20. Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Je- sus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting cove- nant, 21.

Amen. Jas. 1:4. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 25. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continu- eth there???, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. Jas. 3:2. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. 1 Pet. 5:10. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strength- en, settle you. 1 John 2:5. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. i John 3:6. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not ; whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7. Little children, let no man deceive you : he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9. Whosoever is born Of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him ; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10. In this the children of God are manifest, and the chil- dren of the devil: whosoever doeth not fighteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 1 John 4:12. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 1 John 5:18. We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not ; but he that is be- gotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked One toucheth him not. See GOD, PERFECTION OF; HOLINESS; SANCTIFICATION. PERFIDY.

Be not far from me; for trouble is near ; for there is none to help. 12. Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. 13. They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion. 14. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint : my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. 15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 16. For dogs have compassed me: the as- sembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 17. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. 18. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my ves- ture. 19. But be not thou far from me, O LORD : O my strength, haste thee to help me. 20.

He shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root Out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were our faces from him ; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and car- ried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chas- tisement of Our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 7. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth : he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8. He was taken from prison and from judgment : and who shall declare his generation ? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9. And he made his grave 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 grief: 944 PERSECUTION.—OF JESUS. Mic. 5:1. They shall Smite the judge of is- rael with a rod upon the cheek. Matt. 2:13. And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to JOSeph in a dream, Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. Matt. 12:14. The Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. 24. When the Pharisees heard Żt, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. Mark 3:22; Luke 6:11; 11:15. Matt. 16:1. The Pharisees also with ille Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. Matt 26:3. Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4. And con- Sulted that they might take Jesus by Sub- tilty, and kill / 7,77. 14. Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, 15. And said ºnto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. 16. And from that time he sought Opportunity to be- tray him. [Mark 14:1; 14:48.] 59. Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, Sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death ; Matt. 27:25. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. 26. Then released he Earabbas unto them : and when he had Scourged Je- sus, he delivered hºw to be crucified. 27. Then the soldiers of the governor took Je- sus into the common hall, and gathered un- to him the whole band of soldiers. 28. And they stripped him, and put on him a Scarlet robe. 29. And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! 30. And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. 39. They that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads, 40. And Saying, Thou that de- stroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, Save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. 41. Like- wise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said, 42. He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him. 43. He trusted in God: let him deliver him now, if he will have him : for he said, I am the Son of God. 44. The thieves also, which were crucified with him, Cast the same in his teeth. Mark 15: John 19. Mark 3:6. And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the He- rodians against him, how they might destroy him. 21. When his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself. Mark 15:34. At the ninth hour Jesus Cried with a loud voice, Saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama Sabachthani ? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? with chapters 16:17. Luke 4:28.

Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch Something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him. Tuke 12:50. I have a baptism to be bap- tized with : and how am I straitened till it be accomplished Matt. 20:22. Tuke 13:31.

The chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him, Mark 11:18. Tuke 20:20. They watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that So they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor. Matt. 22:15; Mark 12:13. Tuke 22:2. The chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him ; for they feared the people. 3. Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 4. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. 5. And they were glad, and cove- nanted to give him money. 52. Then Je- sus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? 53. When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of dark- ness. 63. The men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. 64. And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee ? 65. And many other things blasphemously spake they against him.

After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. 7. The world cannot hate you ; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works there- of are evil. 19. Why go ye about to kill me? 20. The people answered and Said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee ? 30. Then they sought to take him : but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. 32. The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him ; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. John 8:37. I know that ye are Abraham's seed ; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. 40. Ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God : this did not Abraham. 48. Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil : 52. Now we know that thou hast a devil. 59. Then took they up stones to cast at him: John 10:31. John 10:20. Many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him 2 39. Therefore they sought again to take him : but he escaped out of their hand, John 11:57. Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command- ment, that, if any man knew where he were, he should shew it, that they might take him. John 14:30. The prince of this world com- eth, and hath nothing in me. John 15:18. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 20. The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you ; 21. But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake. 24. Now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25. But this conveth to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. John 18:22. And when he had thus spo- ken, One of the Officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, Saying, Answerest thouthe high priest SO 2 23. Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why Smitest thou me 7 29. Pilate then went Out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man? 30. They answered and Said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee. John 19:6. When the chief priests there- fore and officers saw him, they cried out, say. ing, Crucify him, crucify /úm. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him : for I find no fault in him. 15. They cried out, ºy with him, away with him, crucify 1IIY). Acts 2:23. Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain : Acts 3:13. The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye de- livered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. 14. But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you ; 15. And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses. Acts 4:27. For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, Acts 7:52. Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted ? and they have slain them which shewed before of the com- ing of the Just One ; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: Acts 13:27. For they that dwell at Jeru- Salem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him. 28. And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain. 29. And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him, in a sepulchre. Heb. 12:2.

My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, 16. For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth ; by reason of the enemy and avenger. 17. All this is come upon us : yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. 18. Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; 22. Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. Psa. 56:5. Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. Psa. 69:10.

Many &re my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies. 161. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word. Prov. 29:10. The bloodthirsty hate the up- right: 27. He that is upright in the way Žs abomination to the Wicked. Isa. 26:20. Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be Overpast. Isa. 29:20. For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all thaf watch for iniquity are cut off: 21. That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a Snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing Of nought. Isa. 51:12. I, even I, (17), he that comfort- eth you : who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the Son of man which shall be made as grass; 13. And forgettest the LORD thy maker, that hath stretched forth the heav- ens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and hast feared continually every day be- cause of the fury of the Oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy 2 and where is the fury of the oppressor ? Isa. 59:15. He that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey : and the LGRD saw 7t, and it displeased him Jer. 2:30. Your Own Sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion. Jer. 11:19. I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from he land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered. Jer. 15:10, Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth ! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them doth Curse me. Jer. 18:18. Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah ; . . Come, andletus Smite him with the tongue. and let us not give heed to any of his words. Jer. 20:8. The word Of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily. º. 7. Jer. 26:11. Then spake the priests and the prophets unto the princes and to all the people, Saying, This man is worthy to die ; for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears. 12. Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard. 13. Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice 947 PERSECUTION.—OF THE RIGHTEOUS. of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he hath pro- nounced against you. 14. As for me be- hold, I am in your hand : do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you. Jer. 50:7. All that found them have de- voured them : AmOS 5:10. They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speak- eth uprightly. Hab. 1:13. Thow art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on in- iquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he? Matt. 5:10. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake : for their's is the kingdom of heaven. 11. Bless- ed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 44. But I Say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which de- Spitefully use you, and persecute you; Luke 6:26,27. Matt, 10:16. I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as Serpents, and harmless as doves. 17. But beware of men : for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; 18. And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my Sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. 21. And the brother shall de- liver up the brother to death, and the father the child : and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. 22. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. 23. But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: 28. Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the Soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matt. 20:22. But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with ? They say unto him, We are able, 23. And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am bap- tized with. Matt. 23:34. Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and Scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify: and some of them shall ye SCOurge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: 35. That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, son of Bara- chias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Matt. 24:8. All these are the beginning of Sorrows. 9. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you : and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10. And then shall many be Offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate One another. Mark 8:35. For whoSOever will Save his life shall lose it ; but whosoever shall lose his life for my Sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. Luke 17:33. Mark 9:42. And whosoever shall Offend One of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. Mark 13:9. But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten : and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my Sake, for a testimony against them, 11. But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought be- forehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate : but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost. 12. Now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause them to be put to death. 13. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's Sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Luke 6:22. Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach gow, and cast Out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 23. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. Luke 21:12. But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute gyou, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. 13. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. 14. Set- tle it therefore in your hearts, not to med- itate before what ye shall answer: 15. For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. 16. And ye shall be be- trayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends: and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. 17. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's Sake. 18. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. 19. In your pa- tience possess ye your souls. John 12:42. Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but be- cause of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the syn- agogue: 948- TERSECUTTON.—OF THE RIGHTEOUS. John 15:18. If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. John 16:1. These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. 2. They shall put you out of the syna- gogues: yea, the time cometh, that who- soever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. John 17:14. I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am Ilol, of the world. Acts 4:16. Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable mir- acle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it. 17. But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. 18. And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 19. Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. 20. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. Acts 5:29. Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We Ought to obey God rather than men. , 40. And when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41. And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. 42. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. Acts 7:52. Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted ? and they have slain them which shewed before of the com- ing of the Just One ; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: Acts 8:4. They that were scatttered abroad went every where preaching the word. Acts 28:22. But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that every where it is spoken against. Rom. 8:17. If SO be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ 2 shall tribulation, or distress, or per- secution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword ž 36. As it is written, Forthy sake we are killed all the day long ; we are ac- counted as sheep for the slaughter. 37. Nay, in all these things we are more than con- querors through him that loved us. 1 Cor. 4:9. I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. 10. We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye (tre wise in Christ ; we are weak, but ye are Strong; ye are honourable, but we are de- Spised. 11. Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling- place; 12. And labour, working with our Own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we sufferit: 13. Being defamed, we intreat : we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. 1 Cor. 13:3. Though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth Ine Ilothing. 2 Cor. 4:8. We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9. Persecuted, but not for- Saken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10. Always bearing about in the body the dy- ing of the Tord Jesus, that the life also Of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12. So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 2 Cor. 6:4. In all things approving our- selves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in dis- tresses, 5. In Stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fast- ings; 8. By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and get true; 9. As unknown, and yet well known ; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; 10. As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich ; as having nothing, and yet pos- sessing all things. 2 Cor. 11:23. In labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. 24. Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. 25. Thrice was I beaten with rods, Once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep : 26. In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by ºne ow? countrymen, in perils by the heathen, £7, perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, 700 perils in the Sea, in perils among false brethren; 27. In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. 2 Cor. 12:10. I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. Gal. 4:29. As then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Gal. 6:12. As many as desire to make a fair shew in the fiesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 17. I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. 949 PERSECUTION.—OF THE RIGHTEOUS. Phil. 1:12. But I would ye should under- stand, brethren, that the things to/vic/ ſºap- pened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; 13. So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; 14. Many of the brethren in the Tord, waxing confi- dent by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 28. In moth- ing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of Salvation, and that of God. 29. Unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his Sake : Col. 1:24. Who now rejoice in my suffer- ings for you, and fill up that which is be- hind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church : 1 Thess. 1:6. And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost: 1 Thess. 2:2. Even after that we had suf- fered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention. 14. For ye, breth- ren, became followers of the churches of God which in Judaea are in Christ Jesus: for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen, even as they have of the Jews: 15. Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have perse- cuted us ; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: 2 Thess. 1:4. So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your pa- tience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 2 Tim. 1:8. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but be thou partaker of the afflic- tions of the gospel according to the power Of God ; 12. For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed : 2 Tim. 2:9. Wherein Isuffer trouble, as an evil doer, ever, unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. 10. Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the Salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 12. If we suffer, we shall also reign with him : if we deny him, he also will deny us: w 2 Tim. 3:2. For men shall be lovers of their Own Selves, . . . 3. . . . Despisers of those that are good, 12. Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer perse- cution. 2 Tim. 4:16. At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me : I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. 17. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. Heb. 10:32. Call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illu- minated, ye endured a great fight of afflic- tions; 33. Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflic- tions; and partly, whilst ye became com- panions of them that were so used. 34. For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. Heb. 11:25. Choosing rather to suffer af- fliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26. Es- teeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt : for he had re- spect unto the recompence of the reward. 27. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king : for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 33. Who through faith . . . stopped the mouths of lions, 34. Quenched the violence of fire, es- caped the edge of the sword, out of weak- ness were made strong, 35. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection: 36. And others had trial of cruel mockings and Scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: 37. They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the Sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented: 38. (Of whom the world was not worthy :) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. - |Heb. 12:3. Consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 4. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striv- ing against sin. Heb. 13:13. Tet us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. Jas. 2:6. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? Jas. 5:6. Ye have condemned and killed the just ; and he doth not resist you. 10. Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. 1 Pet. 3:14. But and if ye suffer for right- eousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled : 16. Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. 17. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. 1 Pet. 4:3. We walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquet- ings, and abominable idolatries: 4. Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with f/6477 to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you : 12. Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try 950 PERSECUTION. PERSEVERANCE. you, as though some strange thing hap- pened unto you : 13. But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 14. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the Spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you : on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glori- fied. 16. If any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed ; but let him glorify God On this behalf. 19. Tet them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator. 1 John 3:1. The world knoweth us not, be- cause it knew him not. 13. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. Rev. 2:3. Hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 10. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried ; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. 13. I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is : and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. Rev. 6:9. And when he had opened the fifth Seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held : 10. And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell. On the earth ? 11. And white robes were given unto every one of them : and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fel- low servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they attere, should be ful- filled. Rev. 7:13. And One of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes 2 and whence came they 14. And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 16. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Rev. 12:11. They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Tev. 17:6. I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: . Rev. 20:4. I saw the souls of them tha were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

And it came to pass, as he sowed, Some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up. 5. And Some fell on Stony ground, where it had not much earth ; and immediately it Sprang up, because it had no depth of earth: 6. But when the Sun was up, it was Scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away. 7. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit. 8. And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, Some thirty, and Some sixty, and some an hundred. Luke 10:42. But one thing is needful : and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. Luke 22:31. And the Lord said, Simon, Si- mon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat : 32. But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not : John 6:37. All that the father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 39.

And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch, 22. Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. Rom. 2:6. Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7. To them who by patient continuance in well doing Seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: Rom. 8:30. Whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he jus- tified, them he also glorified. 33. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect : It is God that justifieth. 34. Who is he that condemneth ? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ, 2 shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 37. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor prin- cipalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Jesus Christ Our Lord. Rom. 11:29. For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 1 Cor. 1:8. Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9. God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Cor. 15:1. Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2. By which also ye are saved, if yelceep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 58. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Cor. 16:13. Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. 2 Cor. 1:21. He which stablished us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 22. Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 2 Cor. 5:9. Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be ac- cepted of him. 15. He died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. - - Gal. 5:1. Stand fast therefore in the lib- erty where with Christ hath made us free, 952 FERSEVERANCE. and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 10. I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none other- wise minded: - Gal. 6:9. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Eph. 4:14. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; - Eph. 6:13. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 18. Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all persever- ance and Supplication for all Saints; Phil. 1:6. Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ : 27. Let your conversation be as it becom- eth the gospel of Christ : that whether I COme and See you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; Phil. 3:16. Nevertheless whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. Phil. 4:1. Stand fast in the Lord, Col. 1:10. That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 22. To present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight : 23. If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, Col. 2:7. Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, 1 Thess. 3:8. For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. 13. To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holi- ness before God, 1 Thess. 5:21. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 2 Thess. 2:15. Stand fast, and hold the tra- ditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 16. Now Our Lord Jesus Christ himself, . . . 17. Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. 2 Thess. 3:13. But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing. 2Tim. 1:12. I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 13. Hold fast the form of Sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 2 Tim. 2:1. Thou therefore, my son, be Strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 3. Endure hardness, as a good soldier of Je- sus Christ. 12. If we suffer, we shall also reign with him : if we deny him, he also will deny us: 2 Tim. 3:14. Continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been as- ; of, knowing of whom thou hast learned t/e777 ; 2 Tim. 4:18. The Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve mºe unto his heavenly kingdom : Tit. 1:9. Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by Sound doctrine both to exhort and to con- Vince the gainsayers. Heb. 2:1. Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let thew, slip. . Heb. 3:5. And Moses verily was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; 6. But Christ as a son over his own house ; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. 14. For we are made par- takers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of Our confidence stedfast unto the end: Heb. 4:14. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. Heb. 6:1. Leaving the principles of the doc- trine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection: 11. And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assur- ance of hope unto the end : 12. That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the prom- ises. 15. And So, after he had patiently en- dured, he obtained the promise. 17. Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath : 18. That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Heb. 10:23. Let us hold fast the profession of over faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 35. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 36. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. Heb. 12:1. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with So great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set be- fore us, 2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith ; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3. For con- sider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 4. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. 5. And ye have forgotten the exhortation 95.3 PERSEVER ANCF. which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked Of him. 6. For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and Scourgeth every Son whom he receiveth. 7. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with Sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not ? 8, But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bas- tards, and not sons. 9. Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which cor- rected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10. For they verily for a few days chastened us aft- er their own pleasure ; but he for over profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 11. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peace- able fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. 12. Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees: 13. And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed. 15. Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness Springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Heb. 13:9. Be not carried about with di- vers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; 13. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his re- proach. - Jas. 1:4. Let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 12. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation : for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 25. Whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. Jas. 5:10. Take, my brethren, the proph- ets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. 11. Behold we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. 1 Pet. 1:4. To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5. Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto Salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7. That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the ap- pearing of Jesus Christ : 1 Pet. 5:8. Be Sober, be vigilant : because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may de- VOlli’. 2 Pet. 1:10. Wherefore the rather, breth- ren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: forifye do these things, yeshall never fall: 11. For So an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of Our Lord and Sav- iour Jesus Christ. 2 Pet. 3:17. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18. But grow in grace, and iri the knowl- edge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 1 John 2:19. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us; but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. 27. The anointing which ye have re- ceived of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you : but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. Rev. 2:7. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. 10. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: be- bold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. 11. He that Overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. 17. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. 25. But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. 26. And he that Overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 27. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron ; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Fa- ther. 28. And I will give him the morn- ing star, Rev. 3:5. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name Out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 11. Be- hold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 12. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out ; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: 21. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also 954 FETER. PERSEVERANCE. overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. Rev. 14:12. Here is the patience of the Saints: here are they that keep the com- mandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. Rev. 16:15. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they See his shame. - Rev. 21:7. He that overcometh shall in- herit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and mur- derers, and whoremongers, and Sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Bev. 22:11. And he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. See CHARACTER: INSTABILITY; STABILITY. INSTANCES OF : Jacob, in prayer, Gen. 32:24–26.

Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue ; 13. Though he spare it, and forsake it not ; but keep it still within his mouth : 14. Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him. 15. He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly. 16. He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him. Job 21:12. They take the timbreland harp, and rejoice at the Sound of the organ. 13. They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. Prov. 9:17. Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eate?? in Secret is pleasant. Prov. 15:21. Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom ; but a man of under- standing walketh uprightly. Prov. 21:17. He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man : he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich. Eccl. 1:17. I gave my heart to know wis- dom, and to know madness and folly : I per- ceived that this also is vexation of spirit. Eccl. 2:1. I said in mine heart, Go to now, 958 PLEASURE. POETRY. I will prove thee with mirth, therefore en- joy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity. 2. I said of laughter, It is mad : and of mirth, What doeth it? 3. I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet ac- quainting mine heart with wisdom ; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life. 4. I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards: 5. I made me gardens and Orchards, and I plantod trees in them of all kind of fruits : 6. I made me pools of water, to water there- with the wood that bringeth forth trees: 7. I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house ; also T had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me : 8. I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts. 9. So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jeru- salem : also my wisdom remained with me. 10. And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour. 11. Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and On the labour that I had laboured to do : and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun. 12. And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly : for what can the man do that cometh after the king 2 even that which hath been already done. 13. Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness. Isa. 5:11. Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them 12. The harp and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the Operation of his hands. Isa. 22:12. In that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with Sack- cloth: 13. Behold joy and gladness, slay- ing Oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine : lot us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die. Isa. 47:8. Therefore hear now this, tho?! that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that Sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: 9. But these two things shall Come to thee in a moment in One day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments. Annos 6:1. Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, Luke 8:14.

When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me: 12. Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and h?” that had none to help him. 13. The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. 15. I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame. 16. I 2008 a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out. Job 3025. Did not I weep for him that was in trouble % was not my soul grieved for the poor? Job 31:15. Did not he that made me in the Womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb & 16. If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail; 17. Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fa- therless hath not eaten thereof: 18. (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb :) 19. If I have Seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering: 20. If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep; 21. If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I Saw my help in the gate: 22. Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder !. and mine arm be broken from the OIlê. 960 POOR.—UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING To. Job 34:19.

If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath Sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother Sold. 26. And if the man have none to re- deem it, and himself be able to redeem it: 27. Then let him count the years of the sale thereof, and restore the Overplus unto the man to whom he sold it; that he may return unto his possession. 28. But if he be not able to restore it to him, then that which is sold shall remain in the hand of him that hath bought it until the year of jubile : and in the jubile it shall go Out, and he shall return unto his possession. 35. And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him : yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee. 36. Take thou no usury of him, or increase: but fear thy God; that thy brother may live with thee. 37. Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury, nor lend him thy victuals for increase. 39. And if thy broth- er that dwellet/ by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto thee; thou shalt not compel him to serve as a bondservant : 40. But as an hired Servant, and as a sojourner, he shall be with thee, and shall serve thee up to the year of jubile ; 41. And then shall he depart from thee, both he and his chil- dren with him, and shall return unto his own family, and unto the possession of his fathers shall he return. 42. For they are my servants, which I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: they shall not be sold as bondmen. 43. Thou shalt not rule over him with rigour; but shalt fear thy God. Deut. 14:28. At the end of three years thou shalt bring forth all the tithe of thine in- crease the same year,and shalt lay it up with- in thy gates: 29.

Deut. 15:2. And this is the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth ought unto his neighbour shall release it; he shall not exact it of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD's re- lease. 3. Of a foreigner thou mayest ex- act it again : but that which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release ; 4. Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it: 5. Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day. 6. For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow ; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee. 7. If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother: 8. But thou shalt Open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth. 9. Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou giv- est him nought ; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee. 10. Thou shalt Surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him : because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. 11. For the poor shall never cease out of the land : therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. 12. And if thy brother, an Hebrew man, Or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee. 13. And when thou Sendest him Out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty: 14. Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: of that where with the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him. Deut. 24:12. And if the man be poor, thou shalt not sleep with his pledge: 13. In any case thou shalt deliver him the pledge again when the sun goeth down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless thee: and it shall be righteousness unto thee be- fore the LORD thy God. 14. Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy 962 POOR.—DUTY TO. brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates: 15. At his day thou shalt give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and setteth his heart upon it : lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee. 16. 'i'he fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. 17. Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge: 18. But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the IORD thy God redeemed thee thence: there- fore I command thee to do this thing. 19. When thou Cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands. 20. When thou beatest thine Olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. 21. When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward : it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow. Deut. 26:42. When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled; 13. Then thou shalt say before the LORD thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Îlevite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the wid- ow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast Commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, nei- ther have I forgotten them : Neh. 8:10. Then he said unto them, GO your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: - Psa. 37:21. The righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. 26. He is ever merciful, and iendeth ; and his seed is blessed. Psa. 41:1. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the TORD will deliver him in time of trouble. 2. The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. 3. The TORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. Fsa. 112:4. Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 5. A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth : 9.

Learn to do well: seek judg- ment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Isa. 16:3. Take counsel, execute judg- ment; make thy shadow as the night in the midst of the noonday; hide the outcasts; bew ray not him that wandereth. 4. Det mine outcasts dwell with thee, Moab; be thou a cover to them from the face of the Spoiler: Isa. 58:7. Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house ? when thou Seest the naked, that thou cover him ; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? 10. And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted Soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day: Ezek. 18:7. And hath not oppressed any, . . . hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a gar- ment; vs. 16, 17. Dan. 4:27. Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine in- iquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.

Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: i was in pris- On, and ye came unto me. Mark 14:7. For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: Luke 3:11. He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise. Luke 11:41. Rather give alms of . Such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. Luke 12:33.

Luke 14:12. When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, northy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. 13.

And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou Shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. J Luke 18:22. Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. Luke 19:8. And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord ; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold. Acts 20:35. I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Rom. 12:8. Or he that exhorteth, On ex- hortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. 13. Distributing to the necessity of Saints; given to hospitality. 20. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink : 1 Cor. 13:3. Though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, . . . and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 1 Cor. 16:1. Now concerning the collection for the Saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. 2. Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. 2 Cor. 6:10. As poor, yet making many rich ; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. 2 Cor. 9:5. I thought it necessary to ex- hort the brethren, that they would go be- fore unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness. 6. But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which Soweth bountifully shall reap also bounti- fully. 7. Every man according as he pur- poseth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity : for God loveth a cheerful giver. vs. 1-15; 2 Cor. 8:9. Gal. 2:10. Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do. Gal. 6:10.

Tet not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man, 10. Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the Saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. 16. If any man or woman that be- lieveth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed. Heb. 13:3. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them ; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. Jas. 1:27. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, Jas. 2:2. For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 3. And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and Say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 4. Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? 5. Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him ? 6. But ye have de- spised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? 7. Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called ? 8. If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9. But if ye have re- spect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 15. If a brother or sister be naked, and desti- tute of daily food, 16. And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled: notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit 2 Jas. 5:4. Behold, the hire of the labour- ers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth : and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. 1 John 3:17. WhoSO hath this world's good, and Seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love Of God in him? 18. My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure Our hearts before him.

OPPRESSIONS OF : Nell. 5:1. And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews. 2. For there were that said, We, our sons, and our daughters, are many : therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live. 3. Some also there were that said, 'We have mortgaged our lands, vine- yards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. 4. There were also that said, 'We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon Our lands and vineyards. 5. Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, Our children as their children: and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought into bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them ; for other men have our lands and vineyards. 6. And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words. 7. Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I Set a great assembly against them. 8. And I Said unto them, We, after our ability, have redeemed Our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen ; and will ye even sell your brethren 2 or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to answer. 9. Also I said, It is not good that ye do: Ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies? 10. I likewise, (t/yd my brethren, and my servants, might exact of them money and corn : I pray you, let us leave off this usury. 11. Testore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the lmoney, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them. 12. Then said they, We will restore they, and will re- Quire nothing of them ; SO will we do as thou Sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an Oath of them, that they should do ac- cording to this promise. 13. Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation Said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the people did according to this promise. Job 20:19. Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not ; 20. Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired. 21. There shall none of his meat be left ; therefore shall no man look for his goods. Job 22:6. Thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing. 7. Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry. 9. Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken. 10. Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee; 11. Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee. Job. 24:4. They turn the needy out of the way : the poor of the earth hide themselves together. , 7. They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no cover- ing in the cold. 8. They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter. 9. They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor. 10. They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry; Psa. 10:2. The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. 8. He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the in- nocent : his eyes are privily set against the poor. 9. He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor : he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. 10. He crouch- eth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. Psa. 37:14. The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, Prov. 14:20. The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends. Prov. 17:5. Whoso mocketh the poor re- proacheth his Maker: a) (? he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. I’rov. 19:7. All the brethren of the poor 966 POOR. POTTERY. do hate him ; how much more do his friends go far from him 2 he pursueth they, with words, yet they are wanting to him. Prov. 22:7. The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. 16. He that oppresseth the poor to increase his "ic/es, and he that giveth to the rich, shall surely come to want. Prov. 28:3. A poor man that oppresseth the poor is like a sweeping rain which leav- eth no food. 15. As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler over the poor people. |Prov. 30:14. There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth &S knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men. Eccl. 5:8. If thou Seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judg- ment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they. Isa. 3:14. The LORD will enter into judg- ment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. 15. What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor ? Saith the Lord GOD of hosts, Isa. 10:1. Woe unto them that decree un- righteous decrees, and that write grievous- ness which they have prescribed ; 2. To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless I Isa. 32:6. The vile person will speak vil- lany, and his heart will work iniquity, . . . to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. 7. The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right. Ezek. 18:12. Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, t Ezek. 22:29. The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy; yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully. Amos 2:6. For three transgressions of Ts- rael, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes; 7. That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: . . . 8. And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god. Amos 4:1. Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Sama- ria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink. 2. The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fish- hooks. AmOS 5:11. As your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him burdens of Wheat : ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them : ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them. 12. For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. Amos 8:4. Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 6, That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; Hab. 3:14. Thou didst strike through with his staves the head of his villages: they came Out as a whirlwind to Scatter me: their rejoicing wats as to devour the poor Se- cretly. Jas. 2:6.

Matt. 6:5. When thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are : for they love to pray standing in the Synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men.

Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his peo- ple, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied there with : and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen : 32. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: Amos 5:4. For thussaith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live : 5. But seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gil- gal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth- el shall come to nought. 6.

When thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are : for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which Seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. S. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 9. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. U.S. 9-13. Matt. 7:7. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: S. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh find- eth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone 7 10. Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent 3 11. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him ; Matt. 18:19. Again. I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven, 20. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Matt. 21:22. All things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall re- ceive. Mark 11:24. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 25. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Luke 11:13. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall yout,' heavenly Fa- ther give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him 2 vs. 5–12. Luke 18:6. And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge Saith. 7. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them ? 8. Itell you that he will avenge them speedily. Us. 1–5. Luke 21:36. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. John 4:10. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 23. The hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 9:31. Now we know that God hear- eth not sinners: but if any man be a wor- shipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. John 14:13. Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. John 15:7. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 16. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 981 T2RAYER.—ANSWERED. John 16:23. Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give if you. 24. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye Shall receive, that your joy may be full. 26. At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I Say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: 27. For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I Game out from God. Acts 22:16. And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Bom. 8:26. The Spirit also helpeth our in- firmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Bom.. 10:12. For there is no difference be- tween the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be Saved. Eph. 2:18. For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Eph. 3:20. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, IIeb. 4:16. Let us therefore come boldly tunto the throne of grace, that we may ob- tain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Heb. 10:22. Tet us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23. Tet us hold fast the profession of ontº faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) Heb. 11:6. Without faith it is impossible to please him : for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a re- Warder of them that diligently seek him. Jaś. 1:5. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men lib- erally, and upbraideth not ; and it shall be given him. 6. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. Jas. 4:8. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. 10. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift y Ou up. Jas. 5:16. Confess foºtr faults one to an- Other, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 1 John 3:22. Whatsoever we ask, we re- ceive of him, because we keep his com- mandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 1 John 5:14. This is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15. And if we know that he hear us, whatso- ever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him. ANSWERED: Job 34:28.

And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in One of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing: - I_ev. 26:40. If they shall confess their in- iquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me; Num. 5:6. Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty; 7. Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: v. 5. * Judg. 10:10. And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim. 15. And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day. 1 Sam. 12:10. And they cried unto the TORD, and said, We have sinned, because we have forsaken the LORD, and have served Baalim and Ashtaroth : but now de- liver us Out of the hand of our enemies, and we will serve thee. 1 Kin. 8:47. Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and , repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness; Ezra 9:6. And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God : for Our iniquities are in- creased over ontº’ head, and Our trespass is grown up unto the heavens. 15. O LORD God of Israel, thou art righteous; for we re- main yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we Cannot stand before thee because of this. Neh. 1:6. Tet thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray be- fore thee now, day and night, for the chil- dren of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned. 7. We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandest thy servant MOSes. Neh. 9:2. And the seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. 33. Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly : 34. Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, where with thou didst tes- tify against them. 35. For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works. Job 7:20. I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men & why hast thou Set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself : Job 40:4.

I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD ; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Psa. 38:4. For mine iniquities are gone over mine head : as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 5. My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. 6. I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long. 7. For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh. 8. I am feeble and Sore broken : I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart. 10. My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. 18. For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. Psa. 40:12. For innumerable evils have compassed me about : mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up ; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. Psa. 51:3. For I acknowledge my trans- gressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou might- est be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. Psa. 69:5. O God, thou knowest my fool- ishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. Psa. 106: 6. We have sinned with Our fa- thers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 7. Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remem- bered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the Sea, even at the Red Sé8. - Psa. 119:176. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. Psa. 130:3. If thou, TORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O TORD, who shall stand? Prov. 28:13. He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and for- Saketh them shall have mercy. Isa. 6:5. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am 9S4 PRAYER.—IMPORTUNITY IN. undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the IORD of hosts. Isa. 59:12. For our transgressions are mul- tiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions (tre with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; 13. In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of false- hood. Jer. 3:13. Only acknowledge thine iniq- uity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not obeyed my voice, Saith the LORD. 25. We lie down in Our shame, and Our confusion coverethus: for we have sinned against the LORD Our God, we and Our fa- thers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD Our God. Jer. 14:7. O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's sake : for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee. 20. We acknowl- edge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the in- iquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee. Lam. 1:18. The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment : hear, I pray you, all people, and behold my sorrow : my virgins and my young men are gone into captivity. Lam. 3:42.

We have sinned, and have com- mitted iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: 6. Neither have we hearkened unto thy serv- ants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and Our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 7. O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Je- rusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee. 8. O Lord, to us belonget/. confusion of face, to Our kings, to Our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. 9. To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him ; 10. Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD Our God, to walk in his laws, which he set be- fore us by his servants the prophets. 11. Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the Oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. 12. And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusa- lem. 13. As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us; yet made we not our prayer before the LORD Our God, that we might turn from our in- iquities, and understand thy truth. 14. Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD Our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice. 15. And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly. HMPORTUNITY HN: Gen. 18:23. And Abra- ham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked ?. 24. Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that &re therein 2 25. That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? 26. And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their Sakes. 27. And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Tord, which am but dust and ashes: 28. Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five 2 And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. 29. And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake. 30. And he said ºnto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. 31. And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the TOrd: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake. 32. And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once : Perad- venture ten shall be found there. Gen. 32:24. And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day, 25. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh ; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 27. And he said unto him, What is thy name 7 And he said, Jacob. QS5 PIRAYER.—IMPORTUNITY IN. 28. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. 29.

Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; (d), (/ if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt Save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said. 38. And it was so : for he rose up early On the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water. 39. And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew. 40. And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground. Judg. 16:28. Samson called unto the LORD, and Said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes. 1 Sam. 1:10. She was in bitterness of Soul, and prayed unto the TORD, and wept sore. 11. And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and re- member me, and not forget thine hand- maid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head. 1 Sam. 12:23. As for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you : 1 Kin. 8:22. And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven: 23. And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth be- neath, who keepest covenant and mercy With thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart: 24. Who hast kept with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him: thou spakest also with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day. 25. Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with thy Servant David my father that thou prom- isedst him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they Walk before me as thou hast walked before me. 26. And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father. 27. But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot con- tain thee; how much less this house that I have builded ?. 28. Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his Supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee to day: 29. That thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, evey, toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall make toward this place. 30. And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and when thou hearest, forgive. Ezra 9:5. At the evening sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God, 6. And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are in- creased over ontº’ head, and Our trespass is grown up unto the heavens. Neh. 1:4. And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and Wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven, 5. And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his com- mandments: 6. Let thine ear now be at- tentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy serv- ants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.

Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplica- tions, and cause thy face to shine-upon thy Sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake. 18.

But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the chil- dren's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27.

And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not : the door is now shut and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. 8. I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. Tſuke 18:1. And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint ; 2. Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3. And there was a widow in that city ; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4. And he would not for a while : but afterward he said within him- self, Though I fear not God, nor regard man : 5. Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6. And the Lord Said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them ? Luke 22:44. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly : and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. Rom. 8:26.

And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee: 10. I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant : for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands. 11. De- liver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau : for I fear him, lest he will come and Smite me, and the mother with the children. 12. And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy Seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered ſor Illultitude. Ex. 32:11. And Moses besought the LORD his God, and Said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand Ž 12. Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them Out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. 13. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy Servants, to whom thou swarest by thine Own self, and saidst unto them, I will mul- tiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. Ex. 33:13. Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. Num. 14:13. Moses said unto the IORD, Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou broughtest up this people in thy might from among them :) 14. And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land: for they have heard that thou LORD art among this peo- ple, that thou LORD art seen face to face, and that thy cloud standeth over them, and that thou goest before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, and in a pillar of fire by night. 15. Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, say- ing, 16. Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness. 17. I beseech thee, let the power of my Lord be great, accord- ing as thou hast spoken, saying, 18. The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniguity and transgression, and by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation. Num, 16:22. And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spir- its of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation ? Deut. 3:24.

I pray thee, let me go over, and see the good land that is beyond Jordan, Deut. 9:18. I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, be- Cause of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger. 25. Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because the LORD had said he would destroy you. 26. I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine in- heritailce, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 27. Temember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob ; look not unto the stubbornness Of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin: 28. Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the TORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness. 29. Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm. Josh. 7:8. O Lord, what shall I say, when Israel turneth their backs before their ene- mies! 9. For the Canaanites and all the in- habitants of the land shall hear of it, and shall environ us round, and cut off our name from the earth : and what wilt thou do unto thy great name 3 2 Sam. 7:25.

And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee. 27. For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee. 28. And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy serv- ant: 29. Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Tord GOD, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever. 1 Rin. 8:25. Therefore now, IORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that thou promisedst him, saying, 'There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked before me. , 26. And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father. 59. And let these my words, where with I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD Our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require: 60. That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else. 1 Kin. 18:36. And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD GOd of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. 37. Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. 2 Kin. 19:15. And Hezekiah prayed before the TORD, and said, O LORD God of Israel, which dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth. 16. LORD, bow down thine ear, and hear: open, LORD, thine eyes, and See: and hear the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent him to reproach the living God. , 17. Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria, have destroyed the nations and their lands, 18. And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them. 19. Now therefore, O LORD Our God, I beseech thee, Save thou us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only. Isa. 37:15–20. 2 Chr. 14:11. And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD Our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O TORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee. Neh. 1:8. Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scat- ter you abroad among the nations: 9. But £f ye turn unto me, and keep my command- ments, and do them ; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there. Neh. 9:32. Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before theo, that hath come upon lis, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day.

Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help ; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. Psa. 31:3. Thou art my rock and my for- tress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. Psa. 38:16. For I said, Heat, ºne, lest other- wise they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me. Psa. 69:6. Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my Sake : let not those that seek thee be con- founded for my sake, O God of Israel. 13. But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O IORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation. 16. For thy loving- kindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. Psa. 71:18. Now also when I am Old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not ; until I have shewed thy strength unto this gener- ation, and thy power to every one that is to COIllé. Psa. 74:10. O God, how long shall the ad- versary reproach 3 shall the enemy blas- pheme thy name for ever? 11. Why with- drawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom. 18. Re- member this, that the enemy hath re- proached, O LORD, and that the foolish peo- ple have blasphemed thy name. 20. Have respect unto the covenant : for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty. 21. O let not the oppressed re- turn ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name. 22. Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily. 23. Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth contin- ually. Psa. 79:10. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be linown among the heathen in our sight by the re- venging of the blood of thy servants which 78 shed. , 11. Tet the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that ar appointed to die; 12. And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, where with they have reproached thee, O Lord. Psa. 83:1. Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 2, For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head, 18. That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth. Psa. 86:1. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. 2. Pre- serve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. 3. iSe merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. 4. Rejoice the Soul of thy servant : for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my Soul. 5. Tor thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive ; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. 17. Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted 1316. Bsa. 89:49. Tord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou Swarest unto David in thy truth? 50. Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; 51. Where with thine enemies have reproached, O LORD ; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. Psa, 106:47. Save us, O LORD Our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. Bsa. 109:21. But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. 22. For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. 23. I am gone like the shadow when it declineth : I am tossed up and down as the locust. 24. My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness. 25. I became also a re- proach unto them : 10/e77, they looked upon me they shaked their heads. 26. Help me, O LORD my God: O Save me according to thy mercy: 27. That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, TORD, hast done it. Psa. 115:1. Not unto us, O TORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake. 2.

I am thine, Save me; for I have sought thy precepts. 116. Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. 124. Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, 145. I cried with my whole heart; hear me, O LORD : I will keep thy statutes. 146. I cried unto thee; Save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies. 149.

I have longed for thy Salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight. 175. Det my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. 176. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments. IPsa. 143:11. Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul out of trouble. , 12. And of thy mercy cut off Imine enemies, and de- stroy all them that afflict my Soul: for I am thy servant. - Isa. 63:17. O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear 8 Return for thy Serv- ants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance. 18. The people of thy holiness have possessed Čá but a little while : Our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary. 19. We are thine: thou never barest rule over them ; they were not called by thy name. Jer. 14:21. Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake; do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us. Jer. 18:20. Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them. 21. Therefore de- liver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle. Lam. 3:56. Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry. 57. Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not. 58. O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life. 59. O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause. 60. Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their imaginations against me. 61. Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their imaginations against me; 62. The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day. 63. Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick. Joel 2:17. Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to re- proach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? THANKSGIWING AND, BEFORE TAKING F00D : Josh. 9:14. And the men took of their victuals, and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD. - 1 Sam. 9:13. As soon as ye be come into the city, ye shall straightway find him, before he go up to the high place to eat : for the people will not eat until he come, because he doth bless the sacrifice; and afterwards they eat that be bidden. Now therefore get you up ; for about this time ye shall find him. Matt, 14:19.

And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. Matt. 15:36. Acts 27:35. And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat. Rom. 14:6. He that eateth, eateth to the Tord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. - 1 Cor. 10:30. For if I by grace be a par- taker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? 31. Whether there- fore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. g 1 Tim. 4:3. Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5. For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. PRAYERFULNESS. Psal. 5:1, Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. 2. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. 3. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD ; in the morn- ing will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. Tºsa. 42:8.

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, TOrd of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. [Psa. 8:2.] 26. Even so, Father: for So it seemed good in thy sight. Luke 10:21. 1 Cor. 1:17. For Christ Sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ, should be made of none effect. 18. For the 992 PREACHING. preaching of the cross is to them that per- ish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 21. For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to Save them that believe. 23. We preach Christ cruci- fied, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 27. God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise ; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty ; 28. And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are : 29. That no flesh should glory in his presence. 1 Cor. 2:1. And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testi. mony of God. 2. For I determined not to know any thing among you, Save Jesus Christ, and him Crucified. 3. And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5. That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 6. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought : 7. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God Ordained before the world unto Our glory: 8. Which none of the princes of this world knew : for had they known it, they would not have crucified the LORD of glory. 12. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God: that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; compar- ing spiritual things with spiritual. I Cor. 14:1. Follow after charity, and de- sire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. 2. For he that speaketh in an 7/7/477.07070 tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him ; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3. But he that prophesieth speak- eth unto men to edification, and exhorta- tion, and comfort. 4. He that speaketh in an atmknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. , 5. I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied : for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with to gues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying. 6. Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowl- edge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine? 7. (63) * º And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe Or harp, except they give a distinction in the Sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped ? 8. For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who Shall prepare himself to the battle? 9. So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken ? for ye shall speak into the air. 10. There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. 11. Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. 12. Even so ye, foras- much as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, Seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church. 13. Wherefore let him that speaketh in an atm/ºn Own tongue pray that he may interpret. 14. For if I pray in an atºmſºn own tonguo, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15. What is it then 3 I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also : I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. 16. Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, Seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest ? 17. For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified. 18. I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: 19. Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my woice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue. 20. Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. 24. But if all proph- esy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all: 25. And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest ; and SO falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth. 2 Cor. 2:14. Now thanks be unto God which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the Savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 15. For we are unto God a sweet Savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: 16. To the one we are the Savour of death unto death ; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? 2 Cor. 3:12. Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech : 13. And not as Moses, achich put a vail. Over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished: Col. 1:23. If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to 993. PIREACIIING. every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; 24. Who now rejoice in my Sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflic- tions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church : 25. Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dis- pensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; 26. Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gen- tiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28. Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom ; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29. Whereunto, I also labour, striving according to his work- ing, which worketh in me mightily. 1 Thess. 1:5. For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, 1 Thess. 2:3. For Our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: 4. But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even SO we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 5. For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God is witness: 6. Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. 7. But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children: 8. So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our Own Souls, because ye were dear unto us. 9. For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. 10. Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and unblameably we be- haved ourselves among you that believe: 11. As ye know how we exhorted and com- forted and charged every one of you, as a father doth his children, 12. That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 1 Tim. 6:20. O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 21. Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. 2 Tim. 2:15. Study to shew thyself ap- proved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16. But shun profane and vain babblings: - Tit. 1:3. But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is com- mitted unto me according to the command- ment of God Our Saviour; - Tit. 3:8. This is a faithful saying, and FREDESTINATION. these things I will that thou affirm con- stantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. 9. But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. - PRECEPTS. See COMMANDMENTs; LAw. PRECIOUS STONES. See STONES.

And in very deed for this cause have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be de- clared throughout all the earth. Ex. 33:19. And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gra- cious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy. Deut. 7:7. The TORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: 8. But be- Cause the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the Oath which he had sworn un- to your fathers, hath the LORD brought you Out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you Out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Deut. 10:15. Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their Seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day. Deut. 4:37. Deut. 32:8. When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the Sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the num- ber of the children of Israel. Josh. 11:20. For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might de- stroy them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses. 1 Sam. 12:22. For the LORD will not for- Sake his people for his great name's sake: because it hath pleased the LORD to make you his people. 1 Kin. 12:15. Wherefore the king heark- ened not unto the people; for the cause was from the TORD, that he might perform his saying, which the LORD spake by Ahijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the son of Ne- bat. 1 Kin. 20:42. And he said unto him, Thus Saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people. 2 Kin. 19:25. Hast thou not heard long ago how I have done it, and of ancient times that I have formed it 8 now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps. 994 T'RET) ESTINATION. 2 Chr. 6:6. But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel. Job 23:13. But he is in one mind, and who can turn him 8 and what his Soul desir- eth, even that he doeth. 14. For he per- formeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him. Psa. 33:12. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD ; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. Psa. 65.4. Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach wnto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be Satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. Psa. 78:67. Moreover he refused the tab- ernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: 68. But chose the tribe of Ju- dah, the mount Zion which he loved. 70. He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds : 71. From follow- ing the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. 72. So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands. Psa. 105:17. He sent a man before them, evez, Joseph, who was sold for a servant: 18. Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron.: 19. Until the time that his word Came: the word Of the LORD tried him: 20. The king sent and loosed him ; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. 21. He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: 22. To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom. Psa. 135:4. For the TORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his pecul- iar treasure. Prov. 16:4. The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil. Isa. 44:1. Yet now hear, O Jacob my serv- ant ; and Israel, whom I have chosen: 2. Thus Saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesururu, whom I have chosen. 7. And who, as I, shall call, and shall declare it, and Set it in order for me, since I ap- pointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. Jer. 1:4. Then the word of the IORD came unto me, saying, 5. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou Gamest forth Out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. - Mal. 1:2. I have loved you, Saith the TORD. Yet ye Say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Wats not ESaul Jacob’s brother ? Saith the IORD : yet I loved Jacob, 3. And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his herit- age waste for the dragons of the wilder- IlêSS. Matt 11:25. At that time Jesus answered and Said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26. Even so, Father: for So it seemed good in thy sight. Matt. 20:16. So the last shall be first, and the first last : for many be called, but few chosen. [chapter 22:14.] 23. And he saith unto them, Ye shall drinkindeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with : but to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but if shall be given to them for whom it is pre pared of my Fathor. Matt. 24:22. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. [Mark 13:20.] 40. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the Other left. v. 41; Luke 17:34–36. Matt. 25:34. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: Mark 13:20. And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days. 22. For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. Tuke 4:25. But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land; 26. But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow. 27. And many lepers were in Is- rael in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. Tuke 8:10. And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that see- ing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. Luke 10:20. Notwithstanding in this re- joice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Luke 18:7. And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them 3 Tuke 22:22. And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed. Matt. 26:24; Mark. 14:21. John 6:37. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 39. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 44. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw 995 PREDESTIN ATTON. him : and I will raise him up at the last day. 45. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned Of the Father, Cometh unto me. John 15:16. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. 19. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own : but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. John 17:2. Thou hast given him power Over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 6. I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world : thine they were, and thou gavest them me; 9. I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. John 21:23. Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus Said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee ? Acts 1:7. And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the Seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. Acts 2:23. Him, being delivered by the de- terminate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain : 39. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as time Lord Our God shall call. 47. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. Acts 3:18. Those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so ful- filled. - Acts 4:28. For to do whatsoever thy hand ànd thy counsel determined before to be done. Acts 13:48. And when the Gentiles heard tilis, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord : and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. Acts 17:26. And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; Acts 22:14. And he said, The God of Our know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth. Rom. 1:6. Among whom are ye also the Called Of Jesus Christ : - Tom. 8:28. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29. For whom he did fore- know, he also did predestinate to be con- formed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30. Moreover whom he did predestimate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justi- fied, them he also glorified. 33. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect 2 Rom. 9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to elec- tion might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth ;) 12. It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. 13. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. 14. What shall we say then 2 Is there unrighteousness with God? God for- bid. 15. For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 17. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this Same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. [vs. 7–33. ] 23. And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory. 24. Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 27. Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the Sea, a remnant shall be saved: 28. For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. 29. And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of saba- Oth had left us a seed, we had been as Sod- Oma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. Rom. 11:5. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 7. What then 2 Is- rael hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 8. (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 1 Cor. 1:26. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28. And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, year, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are : 29. That no flesh should glory in his presence. 1 Cor. 2:7. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto Our glory: 996 PREDESTINATION. DRESUMIPTION. Gal. 1:15. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's Womb, and called me by his grace, Eph. 1:4. According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5. Having predesti- nated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 9. Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, ac- cording to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10. That in the dis- pensation of the fulness of times, he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even, in him : 11. In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predes- timated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the a counsel of his Own will: Eph. 2:10. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before Ordained that we should walk in them. Eph. 3:11. According to the eternal pur- }. which he purposed in Christ Jesus our LOrd : Col. 3:12. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering ; 1 Thess. 1:4. Inowing, brethren beloved, your election of God, 1 Thess, 2:12. That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his king- dom and glory. 2 Thess. 2:13. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren be- loved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to Salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and be- lief of the truth : 2 Tim. 1:9. Who hath saved us, and called 7ts with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own pur- pose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, Tit. 1:1. Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; 2. In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began : Jas. 1:18. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures. 1 Pet. 1:2. Elect according to the fore- knowledge of God the Father, through sanc- tification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ : 20. Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 2 Pet. 1:10. Wherefore the rather, breth- ren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: Jude 4. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old or- dained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lascivi- Ousness, and denying the only Lord God, and Our Lord Jesus Christ. Rev. 13:8. All that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not Written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

And Pha- raoh said, Who is the TORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go. Ex. 14:11. And they said unto Moses, Te- cause there ºpere no graves in Egypt, hist thou taken us away to die in the wilder- ness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt 2 12. Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Tet us alone, that we may Serve the Egyptians? For it had been bet- ter for us to Serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness. Ex. 17:7. And he called the name Of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and be- cause they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the TORD among us, or not ? Num. 15:30. But the soul that doeth ought presumptuously, whether he be born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the TORD; and that Soul shall be cut off from among his people. Nunn. 16:41. But on the morrow all the congregation of the children of Israel mur- mured against MOSes and against Aaron, saying, Ye have killed the people of the TORD. Num. 21:5. And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness % for there is no bread, neither Žs there away water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. Deut. 29:19. And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagina- tion of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst: 20. The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his 997 PRESUMIPTION. jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven. 1 Kin. 20:28. Thus Saith the LORD, Be- cause the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 1 Kin. 22:24. But Zedekiah the Son of Chenaanah went near, and Smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee ? - Job 15:25. For he stretcheth Out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty. Psa. 19:13. Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great trans- gression. Psa. 131:1. LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty; neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me. Prov. 18:12. Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility. , 13. He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. - - Prov. 25.6. Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men. 7. For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen. Isa. 5:18. Woe unto them that draw iniq- uity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: 19. That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it / 20. Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put dark- ness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter 21. Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight ! .22. Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to min- gle strong drink: . 23. Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him 24. Therefore as the fire devoureth the stub- ble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. 25. Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them : and the hills did tremble, and their carcases were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is Stretched Out still. - Isa. 10:15. Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth there with ? or shall the Saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it 3 as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood. Isa. 14:13. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will ex- alt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north : 14. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Isa. 28:14. Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye Scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. 15. Because ye have said, 'We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agree- ment ; when the Overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 16. There- fore thus Saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried Stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foun- dation: he that believeth shall not make haste. 17. Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet : and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hid- ing place. 18. And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agree- ment with hell shall not stand; when the Overflowing Scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. 22. Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even de- termined upon the whole earth. Isa. 29:15. Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? 16. Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it. He made me not ? Orshall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no under- standing ? 20. The scorner is consumed, º all that watch for iniquity are cut OTT : Isa. 45:9. Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker | Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? 10. Woe unto him that Saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth ? Isa. 583. Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou Seest not ? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge 2. Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. Isa. 65.5. Which say, Stand by thyself, 998 PRESUMPTION. come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. Jer. 23:34. And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, that shall Say, The burden of the LORD, I will even punish that man and his house. Matt. 4:5. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him. On a pin- nacle of the temple, 6. And Saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. [Luke 4:9–11.] 7. Jesus said unto him, It is writ- ten again, Thou shalt not fempf the Lord thy God. Deut. 6:16. Luke 12:18. And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19. And I will say to my Soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided ? Luke 14:7. And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them, 8. When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him ; 9. And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. 10. But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room ; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher; then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. 11. For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased ; and he that humbleth him- self shall be exalted. Luke 18:11. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. Rom. 1:32. Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Rom. 9:20. Nay 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 ; 21. Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the Same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour 2 1 Cor. 10:9. Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were de- stroyed of serpents. 10. Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer. 11. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 12. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 2 Thess. 2:3. The son of perdition; 4. Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped: so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. jas, Tiš. Go to now, ye that Say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14. Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appear- eth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 15. For that ye ought to say, If the Dord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 16. But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. 2 Pet. 2:10. But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, self willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 11. Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the LOrd. INSTANCES OF: Satan, when he said to Eve, “Ye shall not surely die,” Gen. 3:1–5.

As the na- tions which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish ; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God. Judg. 9:14. Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us. 15.

Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth : for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed. 4.

Thine own mouth con- demneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee. 7. Art thou the first man that was born ? or wast thou made be- fore the hills 7 8. Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wis- dom to thyself? 9. What knowest thou, that we know not ? 80/, at understandest thou, which is not in us? 10. With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father. 11. A 7'e the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee ? 12.

And upon every high tower, and upon every fenced wall, 16. And upon all the ships of Tarshish, and upon all pleasant pictures. 17. And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low ; and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that dav. *. 3:16. Moreover the LORD Saith, Be- cause the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: 17. Therefore the Lord will Smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the LORD will discover their secret parts. 18. In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling or- naments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon, 19. The chains, and the bracelets, and the muf- flers, 20. The bonnets, and the Ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, 21. The rings, and nose jewels, 22. The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the winn- ples, and the crisping pins, 23. The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails. 24. And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink: and instead of a girdle a rent ; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth ; and burn- ing instead of beauty. 25. Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war. 26. And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground. Isa. 5:8.

O Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, and the staff in their hand is mine indignation. 6. I will send him against an hypocritical nation, and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets. 7. Howbeit he meaneth not SO, neither doth his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few. 8. For he saith, A're not my princes altogether kings? 9. Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad 3 is not Samaria as Damascus? 10. As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria; , 11. Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jeru- Salem and her idols? 12. Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath per- formed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks. 13. For he Saith, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am pru- dent : and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man : 14. And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth ; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped. 15. Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth there with ? or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it 2 as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood. 16. Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of hosts, Send among his fat ones leanness; and under his glory he shall kin. dle a burning like the burning of a fire. Isa. 13:11. I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible. Isa. 14:12.

For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the con- gregation, in the sides of the north : 14. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 16. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms: Isa. 22:16. What hast thou here ? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that hew- eth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock 2 19. And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down. Isa. 23:7. Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn. 9.

And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst re- member the latter end of it. 8. Therefore hear now this, thout that art given to pleas- ures, that dwellest carelessly, that Sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me: I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: 9. But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widow- hood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine en- chantments. 10. For thou hast trusted in thy, wickedness: thou hast Said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me. Jer. 9:23. Let not the wise main glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: 24. But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am? the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth : for in these things I delight, saith the LORD. Jer. 13:9. After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jeru- salem. 15. Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the LORD hath spoken. 17.

Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me? 16.

Jer. 50:31. I am against thee, O thoºd most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee. 32.

Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee: 4. With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures: 5. By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches: 6. Therefore thus Saith the Tord GOD: Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God; 7. Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy bright- ness. 8.

Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I am God 2 but thou shalt be a man, and no God, in the hand of him that slayeth thee. 17.

All that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. Rev. 3:17. Because thou Sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich ; and white rainment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest See. Rev. 18:7. How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much tor- ment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8.

Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mis- chief, and give wicked counsel in this city: 3. Which say, It is not near; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh. - Ezek. 12:22. Son of man, what is that prov- erb that ye have in the land of Israel, say- ing, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth ? (27. Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off. 28. Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which ºve spoken shall be done, saith the Lord OD. Matt. 8:21. And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Luke 9:59,61. Matt. 24:48. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming ; 49. And shall begin to Smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken : 50. The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51. And shall cut him asunder, and ap- point him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matt. 25:2. And five Of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them : 4. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye Out to meet him. 7. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10. And while they went to buy, the bride- groom came; and they that were ready went 1007 PROCRASTINATION PRO PHECY. in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11. Afterward came also the other virgins, Saying, Tord, Lord, Open to us. 12. But he answered and Said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man Cometh. Luke 9:59. And he said unto another, Fol- low me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. 60. Jesus Said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 61. And anOther also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. 62. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, *ooking back, is fit for the kingdom of GOd. Acts 24:25. And as he reasoned of right- eousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, GO thy way for this time; when I have a con- venient season, I will call for thee. 1 Thess. 5:2. For yourselves know per- fectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3. For when they shall say, Peace and Safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. - Heb. 37. Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, 8. Harden not your hearts, as in the provoca- tion, in the day of temptation in the wilder- ness: 9. When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. 10. Wherefore I was grieved with that gen- eration, and Said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. 11. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) 12. Take heed, breth- ren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. , 13. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15. While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 16. For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. 17.

And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpreta- tions belong to God? tell me them, I pray Oll. Gen. 41:16. And Joseph answered Pharaoh, Saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace. 38. And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is 2 39. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art.' Ex. 3:14. And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15. And God said more- over unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you : this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. Ex. 4:12. Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt Say. 15. And thou shalt speak unto him, and put words in his mouth : and I will be with thy mouth, and with his mouth, and will teach you what ye shall do. 27. And the LORD said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. Ex. 6:13. And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and untO Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of IS- rael Out of the land of Egypt. 29. I am the LORD : speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee. Ex. 7:2. 1010 PROPHETS,--INSPIRATION OF. Ex. 19:3. And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, Saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 9. And the LORD said unto Moses, TO, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. 19. And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder. Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. . Ex. 24:16. And the glory of the LORD abode upon mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. Ex. 25:22. And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. Ex. 33:9. The LORD talked with Moses. 11. And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. Ex. 35:31. And he hath filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understand- ing, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship ; v. 35. Num. 7:89. And when Moses was gone into the tabernacle of the congregation to speak with him, then he heard the voice of one speaking unto him from off the mercy seat that was upon the ark of testimony, from between the two cherubims: and he spake unto him. Lev. 1:1; Num. 1:1. Num. 9:8. And Moses said unto them, Stand still, and I will hear what the LORD will command concerning you. vs. 9,10. Num. 11:17. And I will come down and talk with thee there : and I will take Of the spirit which is upon thee, and will put fit upon them; and they shall bear the bur- den of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone. 25. And the LORD came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the spirit that was upon him, and gave it unto the seventy elders: and it came to pass, that, when the spirit rested upon them, they prophesied, and did not Céa,Sé. Num. 12:6. And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. 7. My servant Moses is not so, who Žs faithful in all mine house. 8. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even appar- ently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? Num. 16:28. Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the TORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind. 29. If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; them the LORD hath not sent me. Num. 22:18. If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go be- yond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more. 38. And Balaam said unto Balak, LO, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to Say any thing 2 the word that God putteth in my mouth, that Shall I speak. - Num. 23:5. And the LORD put a word in Balaam’s mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. 12. And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth ? 20. Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. 26. Told not I thee, Saying, All that the IORD speaketh, that I must do? Num. 24:2. And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents ac- cording to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him. 3. And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are Open hath said: 4. He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vi- Sion of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open : vs. 15,16. Deut. 1:5. On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, 6. The LORD Our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount : Deut. 5:4. The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire, 5. (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to shew you the word of the LORD: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount :) saying, 6. I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 31. But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it. Deut. 34:9. And Joshua, the Son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him ; and the chil- dren of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD Commanded Moses. 10. And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, 11. In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land, Josh. 3:7. And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of all Israel, that they may know #. as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee. Judg. 6:7. And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD be- cause of the Midianites, 8. That the LORD 1011 PROPHETS.–INspiration OF. sent a prophet unto the children of Israel, which said unto them, Thus Saith the TORD God of Israel, I brought you up from Egypt, and brought you forth out of the house of bondage: 9. And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of all that oppressed you, and drave them Out from before you, and gave you their land; 10. And I said unto you, I am the LORD your God; fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but ye have not obeyed my voice. 34. But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; Judg. 11:29; 1 Chr. 12:18. Judg. 13:25. And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him [Samson] at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol. Judg. 14:6, 19. 1 Sam. 3:1. And the child Samuel minis- tered unto the LORD before Eli. And the word of the LORD was precious in those days; there was no open vision. 7. Samuel did not yet know the LORD, neither was the word of the LORD yet revealed unto him. 19. Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. 20. And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-Sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD. 21. And the LORD appeared again in Shiloh; for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD. vs. 4–10. 1 Sam. 9:6. Behold now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man ; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: 15. The LORD had told Samuel in his ear a day before Saul came, vs. 16–20. 1 Sam. 10:6. The Spirit of the LORD will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man. 7. And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, that thou do as occa- Sion Serve thee; for God is with thee. 10. And when they came thither to the hill, be- hold, a company of prophets met him ; and the Spirit of God came upon him, and he prophesied among them. 1 Sam. 16:13. And the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. 1 Sam. 19:20. And Saul sent messengers to take David; and when they saw the com- pany of the prophets prophesying, and Samuel standing as appointed over them, the Spirit of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they also prophesied. 23. And the Spirit of God was upon him also, and he Went On, and prophesied, until he came to Naioth in Ramah. v. 24. 2. Sam. 7:4. And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, Saying, vs. 3–7; 2 Sam. 12:1. 2 Sam. 23:2. The Spirit of the LORD spake by me, and his word was in my tongue. 3. The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel Spake to me, He that ruleth over men must % just ruling in the fear of God. Acts m—º- l º —il 1 Kin. 13:20. The word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back: 1 Kin. 14:5. The LORD Said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to ask a thing of thee for her son ; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou Say unto her: 1 Kin. 17:1. Elijah the Tishbite, . . . said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liv- eth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 24. And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth. 1 Kin. 18:36. Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God . . . let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. 46. And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah ; 1 Kin. 19:9. And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there ; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah' 1 Kin. 22:14. And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD Saith unto me, that will I speak. 28. If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me.

And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. 2 Kin. 2:9. Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me. 15. And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. - 2 Kin. 3:11. But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may enquire of the LORD by him 3 And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha, the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah. 12. And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the TORD is with him. 15. When the min- strel played, the hand of the LORD came upon him. 2 Kin. 4:27. The man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told me. - 2 Kin. 5:8. When Elisha, the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes 2 let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel. 2 Kin. 6:8. Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp. 9. And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Be- ware that thou pass not such a place: for 1012 PROPHIETS.–INSPIRATION OF. thither the Syrians are come down. 10. And the king of Israel Sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice. 11. Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing ; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel? 12. And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king : but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber. 17. And Elisha prayed, and Said, LORD, I pray thcc, open his cycs, that he may See. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man : and he saw : and, bellold, the 111ountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. 32. But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the /cing sent a man from before him : but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this Son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head 2 look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door : is not the Sound of his master's feet behind him 2 2 Kin. 10:10, Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spake concerning the house of Ahab : for the LORD hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah. 1 Chr. 21:18.

Many years didst thou forbear them, and testifiedst against them by thy spirit in thy prophets: Job 32:8. There is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them un- derstanding. Job 33:14. God speaketh once, yea, twice, {yet man perceiveth it not. 15. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; 16. Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, Psa. 103:7. He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel, Isa. 6:1. I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 8, I heard the voice of the Lord, Saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here aw), I; Send me. 9. And he said, Go, and tell this people, vs. 1–7. Isa. 8:11. The LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, Say Ing, Isa. 44:26.

Jer. 1:4. Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 5. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth Out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I Ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. 6. Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD ! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. 7. But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child : for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. 8. Be not afraid of their faces: for I (1777 with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. 9. Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. 10. See, I have this day set thee Over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant. Jer. 7:25. Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them : Jer. 25:3. Jer. 11:18. The LORD hath given me knowl- edge of it, and I know it: then thou shew- edst me their doings. Jer. 20:9. I said, I will not make mention of him, nor Speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burn- ing fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not Stºry. Jer. 23:9. Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the TORD, and because of the words of his holiness. 1013 PROPHETS.–INSPIRATION OF. Jer. 26:2. Thus saith the IORD ; Stand in the court of the LORD's house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD's house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word: Jer. 42:4. I will pray unto the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the LORD will answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you. 7. And it came to pass after ten days, that the word Of the LORD came unto Jeremiah. Ezek. 1:1. The heavens were opened, and I saw visions Of God. 3. The word Of the LORD came expressly unto Ezekiel . . . and the hand of the LORD was there upon him. 20. Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither was their spirit to go : and the wheels were lifted up over against them : for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels. Ezek. 2:1. I will speak unto thee. 2. And the spirit entered into me when he spake unto me, 4. I do Send thee unto them ; and thou shalt Say unto them, Thus Saith the Lord GOD. 5. And they, . . . yet shall know that there hath been a prophet among them. - Ezek. 3:10. Son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears. 11. And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord GOD ; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear. 12. Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place. 14. So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit : but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me. 16. And it came to pass at the end of Seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, Saying, 17. Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. 22. The hand of the LORD was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee. 24. Then the spirit entered into me, and Set me upon my feet, and spake with me, 27. But when I speak with thee, I will Open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus Saith the Lord GOD; Ezek. 8:1. And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in mine house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell there upon me. Ezek. 11:1. The spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD's house, 4. Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man. 5. And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak: Thus Saith the LORD ; 24. After- —º wards the spirit took me up, and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. Ezek. 33:22. The hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning ; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb. Ezek. 37:1. The hand of the LORD was up- on me, and carried me out in the Spirit of the LORD, and Set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, Ezek. 40:1. The hand of the LORD was upon me, and brought me thither. Ezek. 43:5. So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court ; and, be- hold, the glory of the LORD filled the house. Dan. 1:17. As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learn- ing and wisdom: , and Daniel had under- standing in all visions and dreams. Dan. 2:19. Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Dan. 7:16. I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things. * Dan. 8:16. I heard a man's voice, between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. Dan. 9:2. In the first year of his reign, I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. 6. Neither have we heark- ened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 10. Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD Our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. [vs. 1–21.] 22. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Dan- iel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. * Dan. 10:7. And I Daniel alone saw the vision : for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide them- selves. 8. Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength. 9. Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep On my face, and my face toward the ground. Hos. 1:1. The word Of the LORD that came unto HOSea, v. 2. Hos. 12:10. I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets. Joel 2:28. It shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all 1014 T2ROPHETS.—INSPIRATION OF. -**- y flesh ; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall See visions: 29. And also upon the Servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit. Amos 3:7. Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. 8. The lion hath roared, who will not fear 2 the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy % Amos 7:7. Thus he shewed me: and, be- hold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. 14. I was no prophet, neither was I a proph- et's son; but I was an herdman, and a gath- erer of sycomore fruit: 15. And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the TORD said unto me, GO, prophesy unto my people Israel. Amos 9:1. I saw the Tord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake; and cut them in the head, all of them ; and I will slay the last of them with the sword : he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be de- livered. Jonah 3:1. The word of the TORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying, 2. Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and ºn unto it the preaching that I bid thee. Mic. 3:8, Truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his trangres- Sion, and to Israel his sin. Hab. 3:2. O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid : 16. When I heard, my belly trembled ; my lips quivered at the voice: rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself, that I might rest in the day of trouble: Hag. 1:13. Then spake Haggai the TORD's messenger in the LORD's message unto the people, Zech. 2:9. For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me. Zech. 7:12. Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the TORD of hosts. Mark 12:36. For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. Luke 1:15. He shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. 41. Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost : 67. His father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, 70. He spake by the mouth of his holy proph- ets, which have been since the world be- gan : Luke 2:25. And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon ; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him. 26. And it was re- vealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 27. And he came by the Spirit into the temple: Luke 3:2. The word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. John 1:6. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. Acts 2:2. Suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. - Acts 3:18. Those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his proph- ń. ºat Christ should suffer, he hath so ful- €Cl. Acts 7:55. He, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus stand- ing on the right hand of God, v. 56. - Acts 8:29. Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. 39. And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more : Acts 11:28. And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: - Acts 21:4. And finding disciples, we tar- ried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem. 10. And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus. 11. And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him, into the hands of the Gentiles. Acts 28:25. And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, after that Paul had spoken one word, Well spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias the prophet unto our fathers, - Rom. 1:1. Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, 2. (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the Holy Scrip- tures,) 1 Cor. 12:7. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom ; to another the word of knowl- edge by the same Spirit; 9. To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10. To 1015 PROPHETS. PROVERBS. another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of Spirits: to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11. But all these worketh that one and the Self- same Spirit, dividing to every man Severally as he will. 1 Cor. 14:32. The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. Heb. 1:1. God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, - Heb. 3:5. Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after; Jas. 5:10. Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the LOrd, 1Bet. 1:10. Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11. Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 2 Pet. 1:21. The prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Jude 14. Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, Saying, Behold, the Lord Cometh with ten thousands of his Saints, |Rev. 2:7. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; Rev. 10:7. As he hath declared to his serv- ants, the prophets. * Rev. 14:13. I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth : Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours: Rev. 22:6. And he said unto me, These Sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. 8. And I John Saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

Dead flies cause the Ointmen of the apothecary to Send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour. 10.

Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand 2 32.

All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient : all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. chapter 10:23. 1 Cor. 8:8. But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 9. But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become a stumbling- block to them that are weak. 10. For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 11. And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died ? 12. But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 13. Wherefore, if meat make my brother to of— fend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. 18–31. 1 Cor. 10:25. Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake : 26. For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. 27. If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for con- Science sake. 28. But if any man Say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake : for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof: 29. Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience? 30. For if I by grace be a par- taker, why am I evil spoken of for that for . which I give thanks 2 31. Whether there- fore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32. Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the Church of God : 33. Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. Col. 4:5. Walk in wisdom toward them. that are without, redeeming the time.

A PSALM OF DAVID, whº N HE FLED FROM ABSALOM ELIS SON. 1 LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me. 2 Many there be which say of my Soul, There is no help for him in God. , Selah. 3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head, 1019 PSALMS.—AFFLICTIONS. 4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. 5 Ilaid me down and slept ; I awaked; for the LORD Sustained me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about. 7 Arise, O LORD ; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly. - 8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD : thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah. PSALM 4.—1 David prayeth for audience, 2 He re- proveth and exhorteth his enemies. 6 Man’s happi- mess is in God’s favour. To THE CHIEF MUSIGIAN ON NEGINOTHI, A PsALM OF DAVID. 1 Hear me when I call, O God of my right- eousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. 2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will yelove vanity, and seek after leasing & Selah. 3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. 4 Stand in awe, and sin not : commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. 5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. - 6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. 7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. 8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep : for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in Safety. - PSALM 5.-1 David prayeth, and professeth his study in prayer. 4 God favoureth not the wicked. 7 David, professing his faith, prayeth unto God to guide him, 10 to destroy his enemies, 11 and to preserve the godly. To THE CHIEF MUSICIAN UPON NEHILOTH, A PsALM OF DAVID. 1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation. 2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. 3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morn- ing, O TORD ; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. 4 For thou art not a God that hath pleas- ure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. - 5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leas- ing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and de- ceitful man. 7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple. - 8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. 9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth ; their inward part is very wicked- ness; their throat is an open Sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. 10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee. 11. But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them : let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. 12 For thou, IORD, wilt bless the right- eous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield. PSALM 7.—1 David prayeth against the malice of his enemies, professing his innocency. 10 By faith he Seeth his défence, and the destruction ºf his enemies. SHIGGAIon of DAVID, which HE SANG UNTO THE LORD, CONCERNING THE WORDS OF CUSH THE BENJAMITE. 1 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust : save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me : 2 Test he tear my Soul like a lion, rending Øt in pieces, while there is none to deliver. 3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; 4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me: (yea, I have deliv- ered him that without cause is mine enemy :) 5 Let the enemy persecute my Soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah. 6 Arise, O TORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded. 7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about : for their Sakes there- fore return thou on high. 8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteous- ness, and according to mine integrity that Žs in me. 9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just : for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. 10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. 11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. 12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. 13 He hath also prepared for him the in- struments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. 14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. - 15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. 16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate, 1020 PSALMS.—AFFLICTIONS. 17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

To THE CITIEF MUSICIAN, A PsALM OF DAVID. 1 In the LORD put I my trust : how Say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your moun- tain : 2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. 3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? 4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the LORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes be- hold, his eyelids try, the children of men. 5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. 6. Upon the wicked he shall rain Snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: t/ is shall be the portion of their cup. 7 For the righteous LORD loveth right- eousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

MICHTAM OF DAVID. 1 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. 2 O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness eacten det/. not to thee; 3 But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my de- light. 4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offer- ings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. 5 The LORD is the portion of mine inherit- * and of my cup: thou maintainest my Ot. 6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. 7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel : my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. 8 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my i. rejoiceth : my flesh also shall rest in hope. 10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to See corruption. 11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy ; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. PSALM 17-1 David, in confidence of his integrity, craveth defence of God against his enemies. 10 He sheweth their pride, craft, and eagerness. 13 IIe prayeth against them in confidence of his hope. A PRAYER OF DAVID. 1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips. 2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal. 3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. 4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. 5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. 6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt heal; me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. 7. Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them. 8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, 9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about. 10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly. 11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth ; 12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places. - 13 Arise, O TORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword: 14 From men aphich are thy hand, OTLORD, from men of the world, which / (tºe their portion in this life, and whose belly bliott fillest with thy hid treasºtre : they are full of children, and leave the rest of their sub- sta/76e to their babes. 15.

We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. 2 How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them ; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them Out. 3 For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm Save them : but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. 4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob. 5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us. 6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me. 7 But thou hast saved us from our ene- mies, and hast put them to shame that hated us. 8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name forever. Selah. 9 But thou hast cast off, and put us to Shame; and goest not forth with our ar- mies. 10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves. 11 Thou hast given us like sheep ap- pointed for meat; and hast Scattered us among the heathen. 12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price. - 13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a Scorn and a derision to them that are round about us. 14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people. 15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me, 16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger. 17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant. 18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way; (65) 1025 T'S ATMS.–AFFT,ICTIONS. 19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death. 20 If we have forgotten the name of Our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god; "21'Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. 22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter. 23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord 7 arise, cast vs not off for ever. 24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression ? 25 For Our Soul is bowed down to the dust : Our belly cleaveth unto the earth. 26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.

Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. 20 He hath put forth his hands against Such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant. 21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart : his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords. 22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. 23 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

This also shall please the LORD better than an Ox O' bullock that hath horns and hoofs. 32 The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God. 33 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners. 34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein. 35 For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession. 36 The Seed also of his servants shall in- herit it : and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

Selah. 5 And the heavens shall praise thy Won- ders, O LORD : thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the Saints. 6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the Sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? 7 God is greatly to be feared in the as- sembly of the saints, and to be had in rev- erence of all them that are about him. 8 O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? Or to thy faithfulness round about thee ? 9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea; when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. 10 Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast Scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. 1033 PSALMS.—AFFLICTIONs. 11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. 12 The north and the south thou hast cre- ated them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. 13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. 14 Justice and judgment are the habita- tion of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. 15 Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. 16 In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 17 For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. 18 For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king. 19 Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and Saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. 20 I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: 21 With whom my hand shall be estab- lished: mine arm also shall strengthen him. 22 The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 23 And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. 24 But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him : and in my name shall his horn be exalted. - 25 I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. 26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salva- tion. 27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. - 28 My mercy will I keep for him for ever- more, and my covenant shall stand ſast with him. - 29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. 30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; 31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments: 32 Then will I visit, their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. - 34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. 35.

Selah. 38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. 39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant : thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. 40 Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. 41 All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. 42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. 43 Thou hast also turned the edge of his Sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. 44 Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. 45. The days of his youth hast thou short- ened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah. 46 How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thy- self for ever ? shall thy wrath burn like fire? 47 Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? 48 What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. 49 Lord, where are thy former loving- kindnesses, which thou Swarest unto David in thy truth? 50 Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy Servants; how I do bear in my bosom the 7'eproach of all the mighty people; 51 Where with thine enemies have re. proached, O LORD; where with they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. 52 Blessed be the LORD for evermore.

He will regard the prayer of the desti- tute, and not despise their prayer. 18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be cre- ated shall praise the LORD. 19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth; 20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner, to loose those that are appointed to death ; 21 To declare the name of the IORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem; 22 When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the TORD. 23 He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days. 24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are through- out all generations. 25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. 26 They shall perish, but thou shalt en- dure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: 27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. 28 The children of thy servants shall con- tinue, and their seed shall be established be- fore thee.

SHIGGAION OF DAVID, WHICH HE SANG UNTO THE LORD, CONCERNING THE WORDS OF CUSH THE BENJAMITE. 1 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust : save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me : 2 Lest he tear my Soul like a lion, rending ăţ in pieces, while there is none to deliver. 3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; 4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have deliv- ered him that without cause is mine enemy:) 5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah. - 6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine ene- mies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded. 7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about : for their sakes there- fore return thou on high. 8 The TORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mineintegrity that is in me. 9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end ; but establish the just : for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. 10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. 11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. 12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. 13 He hath also prepared for him the in- struments of death ; he ordaineth his ar- rows against the persecutors. 14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. 15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. 16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. 17 I will praise the LORD according to his 1038 PSALMS.–DIDACTIC. righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high. PSALM 9-1 David praiseth God for executing of judgment, .11 He inciteth others to praise him. 13 He prayeth that he may have cause to praise him. To THE CHIEF MUSIC1AN UPoN MUTHLABBEN, A PsALM OF DAVID. 1 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy mar- vellous works. 2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. 3 When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. 4 For thou hast IIlaintailled Iny right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judg- ing right. 5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. 6 O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end : and thou hast destroyed cities: their memorialis perished with them. 7 But the LORD shall endure for ever : he hath prepared his throne for judgment. 8 And he shall judge the world in right- eousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. 9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 10 And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. 11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwell- eth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. 12 When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them : he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. 13 Have mercy upon me, O LORD ; con- sider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: 14 That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will re- joice in thy salvation. 15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 16 The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17 The wicked shall be furned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. 18 For the needy shall not alway be for- gotten : the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. 19 Arise, O LORD : let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. 20 Put them in fear, O LORD : that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah. PSALM, 10.-1 David complaineth to God of the outrage of the wicked. 12. He prayeth for remedy. 16 He professeth his confidence. 1 Why standest thou afar off, O LORD 2 why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? "-- 2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. 3 For the Wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. - 4 The wicked, through the pride of his Countenance, will not seek after God: God Žs not in all his thoughts. 5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. 6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not º moved: for I shall never be in adver- Slty. 7. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud : under his tongue is mischief and Vanity. - 8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he mur- der the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. 9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor : he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net. 10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones. 11. He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never See it. 12 Arise, O LORD ; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. 13 Wherefore doth the wicked COntemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. 14 Thou hast seen it : for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand : the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. 15 Break thou the arm. Of the wicked and the evil man. Seek out his wickedness till thou find none. 16 The LORD is King for ever and ever : the heathem are perished out of his land. 17 LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear : 18 To judge the fatherless and the op- pressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress. PSALM 11.--David encourageth himself in God against his enemies. 4 The providence and justice of God. To THE CHIEF MUSICIAN, A PsALM or l) AviD. 1 In the LORD put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your moun- tain 3 2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. 3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? 4 The LORD is in his holy temple, the TORD's throne is in heaven: his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men, 5 The LORD trieth the righteous: but the 1039 PSALMS.–DIDACTIC. wicked and him that loveth violence his Soul hateth. - 6 Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup. 7 For the righteousloRD loveth righteous- ness; hiscountenancedothbeholdtheupright. PSALM 12.-1 David, destitute % human comfort craveth help of God. 3. He comforteth himself with God’s judgments on the wicked, and confidence in God’s tried promises. To Tii E CHIEF MUSICIAN UPon SHEMINITH, A PsALM of DAVID. 1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth, for the faithful fail from among the children of men. - 2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. 3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: 4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord Over us? 5. For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. - 6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified Seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. 8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. PSALM 14–1 David describeth the corruption of a watural man. 4 He convinceth the wicked by the light of their conscience. 7. He glorieth in the sal- wation of God. To THE CHIEF MUSICIAN, A PsALM of DAVID. 1 The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. . They are corrupt, they have done ºnable works, there is none that doeth goOd. 2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3 They are all gone aside, they are all to- gether become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not One. 4 Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD, 5 There were they in great fear: for God ?s in the generation of the righteous, 6 Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge. 7 Oh that the Salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. PSALM 15.-David describeth a citizen of Zion. A PsALM of DAvid. 1 LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 2 He that walketh uprightly, and work- eth righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. 3 He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. 4 In whose eyes a vile person is con- temned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that Sweareth to his ow), hurt, and changeth not. 5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the inno- cent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved. PSALM 17.-1 David, in confidence of his integrity, craveth défence of God against his enemies. 10 IIe Sheweth their pride, craft, and eagerness. 13 //e prayeth against them in confidence of his hope. A PRAYER of DAVID. 1 Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not Out of feigned lips. 2 Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal. . 3 Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, (tººd shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress. 4 Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer. 5 Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not. 6 I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech. 7 Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them. 8 Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings, 9 From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about. 10 They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly. 11 They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth; 12 Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in Secret places. 13 Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword: 14 From men which are thy hand, O TORD, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their Substance to their babes. 15. As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. PSALM 24–1 God’s lordship in the world.

Selah. 7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. 8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD Inighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the Ring of glory shall come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah. PSALM 25.-1 David’s confidence in prayer. 7 J/e prayeth for remission of Sins, 16 and for help in affliction.

Shew me thy ways, O LORD ; teach me thy paths. 5 Tead me in thy truth, and teach me: for 18 Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. 19 Consider mine enemies; for they are many; and they hate me with cruel hatred. 20 O keep my soul, and deliver me: let me not be ashamed; for I put my trust in thee. 21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. 22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. PSALM 32.—1 Blessedness consisteth in remission of Sims, 3 Confession of sins giveſ/, ease to the con- Science. 8 God's promises bring joy. A PSALM OF DAVID, MASCHIL. 1 Blessed is he whose transgression is for- given, whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. 3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long. 4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah. 5 I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah. 6 For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great wa- ters they shall not come nigh unto him. 7 Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt com- pass me about with Songs of deliverance. thou art the God of my Salvation; on thee | Selal do I wait all the day. 6 Remember, O LORD, thy tender mercies and thy lovingkindnesses; for they have Öeen ever of old. 7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD. 8 Good and upright is the LORD : therefore will he teach sinners in the way. 9 The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way. 10 All the paths of the LORD, are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. 11 For thy name's sake, O LORD, pardon mine iniquity; for it is great. 12 What man is he that feareth the TORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. 13 His soul shall dwell at ease; and his Seed shall inherit the earth. 14 The Secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his Covenant. 15 Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. 16 Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me; for I am desolate and afflicted. 17 The troubles of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my distresses. €ia, Il. 8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye. 9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, Achich have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee. 10 Many sorrows shall be to the wicked : but he that trusteth in the LORD, mercy shall compass him about. - 11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, ye righteous: and shout for joy, all ye that are upright in heart.

(66) 1041 PSALMS.–DIDACTIC. 6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. 8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there 'is no want to them that fear him. 10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. 11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. 15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous,and hisears(treopen untotheir Cry. 16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17 The righteous cry, and the LORD hear- eth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 18 The LORD is migh unto them that are of a broken heart; and Saveth Such as be of a contrite spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the right- eous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. 20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. 21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. 22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

To THE OHIEF MUSICIAN, A PsALM OF DAVID THE SERVANT of THE LORD. 1 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. - - 2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. 3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. 4. He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil. 5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; cºnd thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. - - 6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep : O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. - 7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. 8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleas- ll.I’êS. 9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. 10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteous- ness to the upright in heart. 11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked re- IY1OVé Iſle. - 12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to I’ISè. PSALM 37.--David persuadeth to patience and conft- dence in God, by the different estate of the godly and the wicked. A PSALM of DAVID. 1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. 3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. 4 Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5 Commit thy way unto the LORD ; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 6 And he shall bring forth thy righteous- ness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. 7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. 8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. 9 For evildoers shall be cut Off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth. 10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be : yea, thou shalt diligently con- sider his place, and it shall not be. 11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abun- dance of peace. 12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth. 13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he Seeth that his day is coming, 14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation. 15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken. 16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. 17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the right- 62OUIS. 18 The LORD knoweth the days of the up- right: and their inheritance shall be for eVer’. 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil 1042 PSAT,M.S.–DIDACTIC. time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. . - 20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into Smoke shall they consume away. 21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth. - 22 For such as be blessed of him shall in- herit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off. - 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD : and he delighteth in his way. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him. with his hand. 25 I have been young, and 70000 am Old : yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. 26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth ; and his seed is blessed. 27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. 28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut Off. 29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. 30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judg- ment. 31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. 32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. 33 The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. 34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land : when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see Žt. 35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. 36 Yet he passed away, and, Ho, he was not : yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. 37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. 38 But the transgressors shall be de- stroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. 39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD : he is their strength in the time of trouble. 40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them : he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him. PSALM 39.-1 David's care ºf his thoughts. 4 The consideration of the brevity and vanity of life, 7 the reverence of God's judgments, 10 and prayer, are his bridles of impatiency. To THE CHIEF MUSICIAN, EvºN TO JEDUTHUN, A PSALM of DAVID. - 1 T said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. 2 I was dumb with silence, I held my peace, even from good; and my Sorrow was stirred. 3 My heart was hot within me, while I was musing the fire burned: then spake I with my tongue, 4 LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is ; that I may know how frail I am. 5 Behold, thou hast made my days as an handbreadth; and mine age is as nothing before thee: verily every man at his best state is altogether vanity. Selah. 6 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew : Surely they are disquieled in vain : he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. 7 And now, Lord, what wait I for ? my hope is in thee. 8 Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish. 9 I was dumb, I opened not my mouth : because thou didst it. 10 Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand. 11. When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth : Surely every man is vanity. Selah. 12 Hear my prayer, OTLORD, and give ear unto my cry: hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. 13 O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more. PSALM 49.-1 An earnest persuasion to build the faith of resurrection, not on worldly power, but on God. iG Worldly prosperity is not to be admired. To THE CHIEF MUSICIAN, A PSALM FOR THE SONS OF KORAH. 1 Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world : 2 Both low and high, rich and poor, to- gether. 3 My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding. 4 I will incline mine ear to a parable : I will open my dark saying upon the harp. 5. Wherefore should I fear in the days of evil, ap/en the iniquity of my heels shall compass me about 3 6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches: 7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him : S (For the redemption of their Soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) 9 That he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. 10 For he seeth that wise men die, like- wise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others. 11 Their inward thought is, that their 1043 PSALMS.–I)IDACTIC. houses shall continue for ever, and their dweijing places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names. 12 Nevertheless man being in honour abid- ºth not : he is like the beasts that perish. 13 This their way is their folly : yet their prosterity approve their sayings. Selah. 14 Ilike sheep they are laid in the grave: death shall feed on them ; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morn- ing; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. 15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave; for he shall receive me. Selah. 16 Be not thou afraid when Oneismaderich, when the glory of his house is increased; 17 For when he dieth he shall carry noth- #. away : his glory shall not descend after 111]]. 18 Though while he lived he blessed his ŠOul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. 19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. 20 Man that is in honour, and under- standeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

A PSALM OF ASAPH. . 1 The mighty God, even the LORD, hath spoken, and called the earth from the ris- ing of the Sun unto the going down thereof. 2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. 3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous roundabout him. 4.

Selah. 7 Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am? God, even thy God. 8 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices Or thy burnt offerings, to have been contin- ually before me. 9 I will take no bullock out of thy house, 2007 he goats out of thy folds. 10 For every beast of the forest is mine, (tºd the cattle upon a thousand hills. 11 I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine. 12 If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof. 13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats 2 14 Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: 15 And call upon me in the day of trou- ble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glo- rify me. - 16 But unto the wicked God Saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? 17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and cast- est my words behind thee. 18 When thou Sawest a thief, then thou Consentedst with him, and hast been par. taker with adulterers. 19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. 20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's SOll. 21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. 22 Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver. 23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that Ordereth Jis conversation a right will I shew the salvation of God. PSALM 52.-1. David, condemning the spitefulness of /20ég, prophesićh his destruction. 6. The righteous shall rejoice at it. 8 David, upon his confidence à, God's mercy, giveth thanks. To THE CHIEF MUSICIAN, MASCHIL, A PsALM of DAVID, witHN DoEG THE EDOMITE CAME AND Tord SAUL, AND SAID UNTO HIM, DAVID IS COME TO THE House OF AHIMELECH. 1 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God en- dureth continually. 2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. 3 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. 4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thout deceitful tongue. 5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah. 6. The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him : - 7 Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength: but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. 8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. 9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it; and I will wait on thy name: for it is good before thy saints. .

Corrupt are they, and have done 1044 PSALMS.—DIDACTIC. abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. 2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. 3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not. One. 4 Have the workers of iniquity no knowl- edge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God. 5 There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath Scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them. 6 OH that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall re- joice, and Israel shall be glad.

To THE CHIEF MUSICIAN, AL-TASCHITH, MICHTAM OF DAVID. 1 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation ? do ye judge uprightly, O ye Sons of men ? 2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. 3 The wicked are estranged from the womb : they go astray as Soon as they be born, speaking lies. 4 Their poison is like the poison of a Ser- pent : they are like the deaf adder that stop- peth her ear; 5 Which will not harken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. 6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O TORD. 7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces. 8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the Sliłl. 9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirl- wind, both living, and in his wrath. 10 The righteous shall rejoice when he Seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11 So that a man shall say, Verily there Žs a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth. PSALM 73.−1.

But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. 3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4 For there are no bands in their death : but their strength is firm. 5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men. 6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain ; violence covereth them as a garment. 7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. 8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression : they speak loftily. 9 They set their moulli against the heav- ens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. 10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are Wrung out to them. - 11 And they say, How doth God know Ż and is there knowledge in the most High 2 12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world ; they increase in riches. 13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency. 14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. 15. If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children. 16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; 17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. 18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into de- struction. 19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment l they are utterly consumed with terrors. 20 As a dream when one awaketh ; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. . 21. Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. 22 So foolish was I, and ignorant : I was as a beast before thee. - - 23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden ºne by my right hand. 24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but thee 3 and there is none upon earth that I desire be- side thee. 26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. 27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. 35 But it is good for me to draw near to God : I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy Works. i045 PSATMS.–T)IDACTIC.

A PRAYER OF MosFS THE MAN OF GoD. 1 LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and Sayest, Return, ye children of men. 4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. 5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. 6 In the morning it flourisheth, and grow- eth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. - 7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. 8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy counte- Ila, Il Cé. 9 For all our days are passed away in thy Yºſh: we spend our years as a tale that is told. 10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow ; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. 11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger ? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. 12 So teach was to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom, 13 Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy Servants. 14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 15 Make us glad according to the days 1 ()46 T'SATMS.—DIDACTIC. wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. 16 Let thy work appear unto thy serv- ants, and thy glory unto their children. 17 And let the beauty of the LORD Our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of Our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thyright hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habi- tation: 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him : I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will an- swer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. 5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. 6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve Iſlē. 7.

MASCHIL OF AsAPII. 1 Give ear, O my people, to my law: in- cline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2 I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: 3 Which we have heard and known, and Our fathers have told us. 4. We will not hide them from their chil- dren, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. 5 For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded Our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: 6 That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born ; who should arise and declare them to their children: 7. That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: 8 And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a gen- eration that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God. 9The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. 10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law : 11 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them. 12 Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. 13 He divided the Sea, and caused them to pass through ; and he made the waters to stand as an heap. 14 In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. 15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths. 16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. t 17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilder- IléSS. 18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. 19 Yea, they spake against God ; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilder- neSS Ž 20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams Over- flowed; can he give bread also 3 can he pro- vide flesh for his people? 1052 PSAIMS.—HISTORICAL. 21. Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth : so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; 22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation: 23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, 24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the Corn of heaven. 25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full. 26 He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind. 27. He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the Sand Uſ Lhe Stºà, : 28 And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations. 29 So they did eat, and were well filled : for he gave them their own desire; 30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths, 31 The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel. 32 For all this they sinned still, and be- lieved not for his wondrous works. 33 Therefore their days did he consumein vanity, and their years in trouble. 34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God. 35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their re- deemer. 36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. 37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his cov- enant. 38 But he, being full of compassion, for- gave their iniquity, and destroyed them not : yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath. 39 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and com- eth not again. 40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert 44 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel. 42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy. 43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan: 44 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink. 45 He sent divers sorts of flies among them, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them. 46 He gave also their increase unto the caterpiller, and their labour unto the lo- Cust. 47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their Sycomore trees with frost. 48 He gave up their cattle also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts. 49 He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. 50. He made a way to his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence; - 51 And Smote, all the firstborn in Egypt : the Chief of their strength in the tabernacle of Ham: 52 But made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilder- ness like a flock. 53 And he led them on safely, so that they feared not : but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. 54 And he brought them to the border of his Sanctuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had purchased. 55 He cast Out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents. 56 Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God, and kept not his testi- monies: 57 But turned back, and dealt unfaith- fully like their fathers: they were turned aside like a deceitful bow. 58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jeal- ousy with their graven images. 59 When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: 60 So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent ºp/hich he placed among men; 61 And delivered his strength into cap- tivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand. 62. He gave his people over also unto the sword; and was wroth with his inherit- 3,1] Cé. 63 The fire consumed their young men; and their maidens were not given to mar- riage. 64 Their priests fell by the sword; and their widows made no lamentation. 65 Then the Lord awáked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine. 66 And he smote his enemies in the hinder parts: he put them to a perpetual re- proach. 67 Moreover he refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: 68 But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved. 69 And he built his sanctuary like high palaces, like the earth which he hath estab- lished for ever. 70 He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds: 71 From following the eves great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance. 1053 T'S AIIMS.–IIISTORICAL. 72 So he fed them according to the integ- rity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands. PSALM 105.—1 An exhortation to praise God, and to seek out his works. 7. The story of God’s providence over Abraham, 16 over Joseph, 23 over Jacob in ſºgypt, 26 over Moses delivering the /sraelites, 37 over the Israelites brought out of Eſpé, fell in the twilderness, and planted ºn Canaan. 1 O give thanks unto the LORD ; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. 2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him : talk ye of all his wondrous works. 3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. 4 Seek the IORD, and his strength ; seek his face evermore. 5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments Of his mouth ; 6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. 7 He is the LORD Our God: his judgments &re in all the earth. 8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which be commanded to a thousand generations. 9 Which covenant he made with Abra- ham, and his Oath unto Isaac ; 10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting COVenant : 11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: 12 When they were but a few men in num- ber; yea, very few, and strangers in it. 13 When they went from one nation to another, from onekingdom to another people; 14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; 15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. 16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land : he brake the whole staff of bread. 17 He sent a man before them, even Jo- seph, who was sold for a servant: 18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron : 19 Until the time that his word came : the word of the LORD tried him. 20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. 21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: 22. To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his Senators wisdom. 23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Ja- cob Sojourned in the land of Ham. 24 And he increased his people greatly : and made them stronger than their enemies. 25 He turned their heart to hate his peo- ple, to deal subtilly with his servants. 26 He sent Moses his servant ; and Aaron whom he had chosen. 27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. 28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word. 29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. 30 Their land brought forth frogsin abun- dance, in the chambers of their kings. 31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts. 32 He gave them hail for rain, and flam- ing fire in their land. 33 He Smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their COastS. 34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number. 35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. 36 He Smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. 37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble per- son among their tribes. 38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. 39 He spread a cloud for a covering ; and fire to give light in the night. 40 The people asked, and he brought Quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a, I’IVer. 42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. 43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: 44 And gave them the lands of the hea- then; and they inherited the labour of the people; 45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws.

Over them. 42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand. 43 Many times did he deliver them ; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. 44 Nevertheless he regarded their afflic- tion, when he heard their cry : 45 And he remembered for them his cove- nant, and repented according to the multi- tude of his mercies. 46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives. 47 Save us, O LORD Our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. 48 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen.

Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offer- ing and whole burnt offering : then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar. PSALM 102.—1 The prophet in his prayer maketh a grievous complaint.

A PRAYER OF THE AFFLICTED, when HE Is over- WHELMED, AND POURETH OUT HIS COMPLAINT BE- FORE THE LORD. 1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee. 2 Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily. 3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth. 4 My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; SO that I forget to eat my bread. 5 By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin. 6 I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert. 7 I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top. 8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; 1058 PSAI.M.S.—PRAISE. and they that are mad against me are Sworn against me. 9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping, 10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath : for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down. 11 My days are like a shadow that de- clineth ; and I am withered like grass. 12 But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all gen- erations. 13 Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the Set time, is come. 14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust, thereof. 15 So the heathen shall fear the name of º TORD, and all the kings of the earth thy ;IOry. 16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. 17 He will regard the prayer of the desti- tute, and not despise their prayer. 18 This shall be written for the genera- tion to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD. 19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary : from heaven did the LORD behold the earth; 20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death ; 21 TO declare the name of the TORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem : 22 When the people are gathered togeth- er, and the kingdoms, to serve the TORD. 23. He weakened my strength in the way: he shortened my days. 24 I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations. 25 Of Old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth : and the heavens are the work of thy hands. 26 They shall perish, but thou shalt en- dure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment ; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: 27 But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. 28 The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.

Selah. 7 Hear me speedily, O TORD : my spirit faileth : hide not thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the Jit. | 8 Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust : cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. 9 Deliver me, O LORD, from mine ene- mies: I flee unto thee to hide me. 10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God: thy spirit is good ; lead me into the land of uprightness. 11 Quicken me, O LORD, for thy name's sake: for thy righteousness' sake bring my soul Out of trouble. 12 And of thy mercy cut off mine ene- mies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy Servant.

Selah. - © 4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. 5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands. 6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. 7 Thou, ever, thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when once thou. art angry 3 8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard º heaven; the earth feared, and was still, 9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah. 10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt, thou re- strain. 11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your 1062 PSATMS.–PRAISE.

The psalmist sheveth what fierce combat he had with diffidence. 10 The victory which he had by consideration of God's great and gracious works. To THE CHIEF MUSICIAN, To JEDUTHUN, A PSALM OF ASAPII. 1 I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear untO me. 2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Tord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not : my soul refused to be comforted. 3 I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was over- whelmed. Selah. 4 Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 5 I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. 6 I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart : and my spirit made diligent search. 7 Will the Lord cast Off for ever? and will he be favourable no more ? 8 Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? 9 Hath God forgotten to be gracious 2 hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Selah. 10 And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High. - 11 I will remember the works of the TORD : surely I will remember thy wonders of old. 12 I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings. 13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as owr God? 14 Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. 15 Thou hast with thime arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah. 16 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled. 17 The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad. 18 The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook. 19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known. 20 Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. PSALM 93.—The majesty, power, and holiness of Christ's kingdom. 1 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewoith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. 2 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. 3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. 4 The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many Waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the Sea. 5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever. PSALM 95.—1 An exhortation to praise God, 3 for his gºes 6 and for his goodness, 8 and not to tempt dº???, 1 O come, lot us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful moise unto him with psalms. 3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great Ring above all gods. 4 In his hand (tºe the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. 5 The sea is his, and he made it : and his hands formed the dry land. 6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD Our maker. 7 For he is our God; and we are the peo. ple of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your heart, as in the provo. cation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. 10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: 11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest. PSALM 96.-1. An eachortation to praise God, 4.for his greatness, 8 for his kingdom, 11 for his general judgment. 1 O sing unto the LORD a new Song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth. 2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. 3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. 4 For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. 5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. 6 Honour and majesty are before him : strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. 7 Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 8 Give unto the LORD the glory date 70 to his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts. 9 O worship the TORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. 10 Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously. 1063 PSALMS. –PRAISE. 11 Tet the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the Sea roar, and the fulness thereof. 12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the WOOd rejoice 13 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the peo- ple with his truth. PSALM 97.-1. The majesty of God’s kingdom. 7 The church rejoiceth at God’s judgments upon idolaters. 10 An eachortation to god/?ness and gladness. 1 The LORD reigneth ; let the earth re- joice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. 2 Clouds and darkness are round about him : righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. 3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. 4 His lightnings enlightened the world : the earth saw, and trembled. 5 The hills melted like wax at the pres- ence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord Of the whole earth. 6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people See his glory. 7 Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: wor- ship him, all ye gods. 8 Zion heard, and was glad ; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy | judgments, O LORD. 9 For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. 10 Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand Of the wicked. 11 Light is Sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 12 Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holi- IlêSS. - PSALM 99.—1 The prophet, setting forff, the kingdom of God in Zion, 5 exhorteth all, by the example of foré- fathers, to worship God at his holy hill. 1 The LORD reigneth ; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved. 2 The LORD is great in Zion; and he is high above all the people. 3 Let them praise thy great and terrible name; for it is holy. 4 The king's strength also loveth judg- ment ; thou dost establish equity, thou ex- * judgment and righteousness in Ja- COO. 5 Exalt ye the LORD Our God, and wor- ship at his footstool; for he is holy. 6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them. 7 He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them, —s 8 Thou answeredst them, O LORD Our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their in- ventions. 9 Exalt the LORD Our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD Our God is holy. PSALM 104.—1 A meditation upon the mighty power, 7 and wonderful providence of God. , 81 God’s glory is eternal. 83 The prophet voweth perpetually to praise God. 1. Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. 2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment :, who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: 3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind : 4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his min- isters a flaming fire: 5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. 6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. 7. At thy rebuke they fled ; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. 8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. 9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass Over; that they turn not again to COver the earth. 10 He Sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills. - 11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst. 12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches. 13 He watereth the hills from his cham- bers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works. 14 IIe causeth the grass to grow for the Cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth; 15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. 16 The trees of the LORD are full of sap ; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted ; 17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. 18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies. 19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down. 20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: yºn all the beasts of the forest do creep O7°ſſ/º. 21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. 22 The sun ariseth, they gather them- º together, and lay them down in their CI].S. - 1064 PSALMS. —PRAISE. 23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. 24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works in wisdom hast thou made them all : the earth is full of thy riches. 25 So is this great and wide Sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. 26. There go the ships: there is that levia. than, whom thou hast made to play therein. 27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. 28That thougivest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. 29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and refurn to their dust. - 30 Thou sendest forth thy Spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth. 31 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works. 32 He looketh on the earth, and it trem- bleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. 33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. - 34 My meditation of him shall be sweet : I will be glad in the LORD. 35 Let the sinners be consumed Out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my Soul, Praise ye the LORD. PSALM 111.--1 The psalmist by his example inciteth others to praise God for his glorious, 5 and gracious works. IO The fear of God breedeth true wisdom. 1 Praise ye the LORD. I will praise the LORD with my whole heart, in the assembly of the upright, and in the congregation. 2 The works of the LORD are great, Sought out of all them that have pleasure therein. 3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever. 4 He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion. - 5 He hath given meat unto them that fear him: he will ever be mindful of his COVenant. 6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, that he may give them the her- itage of the heathen. 7. The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure. 8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. 9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name. 10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever. PSALM 113–1 An exhortation to praise God for his excellency, 6 for his mercy. 1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise, O ye serv- ants of the LORD, praise the name of the 2 Blessed be the name of the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. 3 From the rising of the Sun unto the go- ing down of the same the LORD's name is to be praised. 4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. 5 Who is like unto the LORD Our God, who dwelleth on high, 6 Who humbleth himself to behold the t/?ngs that are in heaven, and in the earth ! 7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; 8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. 9. He Inaketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD. PSALM 114.—An exhortation, by the example of the dumb creatures, to fear God in his church. 1 When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange lan- guage; 2 Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. 3 The Sea Saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. 4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. 5. What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest ? thou Jordan, that thou wast driv- en back 2 6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams: and ye little hills, like lambs? 7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of º Lord, at the presence of the God of Ja- COO : 8 Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters. PSALM 115.-1 Because God is truly glorious, 4 and idols are vanity, 9 he exhorteth to confidence in God. 12 God is to be šćessed for his blessings. 1 Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy name give glory, for thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake. t 2. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? 3 But Our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased. 4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands. 5 They have mouths, but they speak not : eyes have they, but they see not : 6 They have ears, but they hear not : noses have they, but they smell not : 7 They have hands, but they handle not : feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat. 8 They that make them are like unto them ; so is every one that trusteth in them. 9 O Israel, trust thou in the LORD : he is their help and their shield. s 10 O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD : he is their help and their shield. 11 Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the TORD : he is their help and their shield. LORD. 12 The LORD hath been mindful of us: he 1065 PSATMS.–PRAISE. will bless us; he will bless the house of IS- rael; he will bless the house of Aaron. 13. He will bless them that fear the LORD, both small and great. 14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, you and your children. 15 Ye are blessed of the LORD which made heaven and earth. 16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 17 The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into Silence. i8 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the LORD. PSALM 134.—-An exhortation to bless God. A SoNG OF DEGREES. 1 Behold, bless ye the LORD, all ye Serv- ants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD. 2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD. 3 The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

To THE CIIIEF MUSIGIAN, A PSALM OF I)AVID. 1 O LORD, thou hast Searched me, and known 7776. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. 5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it. 7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit 2 or whither shall I flee from thy presence? 8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the Sea; 10 Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about IYlé. 12 Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the dark- ness and the light are both alike to thee. 13 For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my Soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect ; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continu- ance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them | 18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the Sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. 19 Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody IY) 62.1]. 20 For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. 21 Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee ? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee ? 22 I hate them with perfect hatred : I count them mine enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Aphy art thoºd so far from help- ing me, and from the words of my roaring? 1067 PSALMS.–PROPHETIC. 2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not ; and in the night SeaSOn, and am not silent. 3 But thou art holy, O thow that inhabit- est, the praises of Israel. 4 Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. 5 They cried unto thee, and were deliv- ered; they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. 6 But I am a worm, and no man; a re- proach of men, and despised of the people. 7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, S((t/???g, S He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him. 9 But thou (tº’t he that took me out of the womb : thou didst make me hope when I *//s upon my mother's breasts. 10 I was cast upon thee from the womb : thou art my God from my mother's belly. 11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near; for there is none to help. 12 Many bulls have compassed me: strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round. 13 They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a Tavening and a roaring lion. 14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death. 16 For dogs have compassed me: the as- Sembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet. 17 I may tell all my bones: they look and Stare upon me. 18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. 19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD : O my strength, haste thee to help me. 20 Deliver my soul from the sword; my darling from the power of the dog. 21 Save me from the lion's mouth : for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns. - 22 I will declare thy name unto my breth- ren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee. . 23 Ye that fear the TORD, praise him ; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel. 24 For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard. 25 My praise shall be of thee in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him. 26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever. 27 All the ends of the world shall remem- ber and turn unto the LORD: and all the hºeds of the nations Shall worship before thee. 28 For the kingdom is the LORD's: and he Žs the governor among the nations. 29 All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him : and none can keep alive his own Soul. 30 A seed shall serve him; it shall be ac- counted to the TOrd for a generation. 31 They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this. l’SALM 40.--1 The benefit of confidence in God. 6 Obe- dieuce is the best sacrifice. .11 The sense of David's evils inflameth his prayer. To THE CHIEF MUSIGIAN, A PsALM OF DAVID, 1 I waited patiently for the LORD ; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto Our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. 4. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 5 Many, O LORD my God, are thy won- derful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward : they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: Čf I would declare and speak of them?, they are more than can be numbered. 6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not de- sire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not re- quired. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come ; in the vol- ume of the book it is written of me, 8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. 9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation : lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest. 10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart : I have declared thy faith- fulness and thy Salvation : I have not con- cealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. 11. Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD : let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. 12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about : mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, So that I am not able to look up ; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. 13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O TORD, make haste to help me. 14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil. 15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. 16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and 1068 PSATMS.–PROPHETIC. be glad in thee: let such as love thy Salva- tion say continually, The LORD be magnified. 17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God. PSALM45.—1 The majesty and grace ºf Christ's kingdom. 10 The duty of the church, and the benefits thereaf. To Tii E. cIIIEF MUSICIAN UPoN Silosh ANNIM, FoR THE SONS OF KORAH, MASCHIL, A SONG OF LOVES. 1 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king : my tongue is the pen of a ready writer. 2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is pouted into thy lips: there- fore God hath blessed thee for ever. 3 Gird thy sword upon thy high, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty. 4 And in thy majesty ride’ prosperously because of truth and meekness and right- eousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. 5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee. 6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the Sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. 7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, Out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. 9 Kings' daughters were among thy hon- ourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir. 10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house: 11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord ; and worship thou him. 12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift ; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour. 13 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold. 14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee. 15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought : they shall enter into the king's palace. 16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth, 17 Iwill make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the peo- ple praise thee for ever and ever.

The chariots of God are twenty thou- Sand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place. 18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the IORD God might dwell among them. 19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our Salva- tion. Selah. 20 JHe that is Our God is the God of Salva- tion; and unto GOD the lord belong the is- sues from death. 21. But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses. - 22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bling my people again from the depths of the Sea : 23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same. 24 They have seen thy goings, O God . even the goings of my God, my king, in the Sanctuary. 1069 PSAT, M.S.–PROPHETIC. 25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after ; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels. 26 Bless ye God in the congregations, eve? the Lord, from the fountain of Israel. 27 There is little Benjamin with their rul- er, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali. 28 Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. 29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee. 30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: Scatter thou the peo- ple that delight in war. 31 Princes shall come out of Egypt ; Ethi- opia shall soon stretch out her hands unto GOd. 32 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord: Selah : 33 To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice. 34 Ascribe ye strength unto God: his ex- cellency is over Israel, and his strength is in the clouds. 35 O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God. PSALM 69.-1 David complaineth of his affliction. 13 He prayeth for deliverance. 22 He devoteth his enemies to destruction. 30. He praiseth God with thanksgiving. To THE CHIEF MUSICIAN UPON SHOSHANNIM, A PSALM of DAVID. 1 Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul. 2 I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, whoro the floods overflow me. 3 I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried : mine eyes fail while I wait for my GOd. 4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty : then I restored that which I took not away. 5 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. 6 Let not them that wait on thee, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek thee be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel. - 7 Because for thy sake I have borne re- proach; shame hath covered my face. 8 I am become a stranger unto my breth- ren, and an alien unto my mother's children. 9 For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up ; and the reproaches of them that re- proached thee are fallen upon me. 10 When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. 11 I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them. 12 They that sit in the gate Speak against me; and I was the Song of the drunkards. 13 But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time : O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy Salvation. 14 Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and Out of the deep waters. 15 Let not the waterflood overflow me, neither let the deep Swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me. 16 Hear me, O LORD ; for thy lovingkind. ness is good : turn unto me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies. 17 And hide not thy face from thy serv- *: for I am in trouble : hear me speed- 11y. 18 Draw high unto my soul, and redeem it : deliver me because of mine enemies. 19 Thou hast known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversa- ries are all before thee. 20 Reproach hath broken my heart ; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none. 21 They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. 22 Let their table become a snare before them : and that which show.ld have been for their welfare, let it become a trap. 23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they See not ; and make their loins continually to Shake. 24 Pour out thine indignation upon them, and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. 25 Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents. 26 For they persecute him whom thou hast Smitten ; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. 27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness. 28 Tet them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. 29 But I am poor and sorrowful : let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high. 30 I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanks- giving. 31 This also shall please the LORD better than an Ox Or bullock that hath horns and hoofs. 32 The humble shall see this, (//wd be §: and your heart shall live that seek †OCl. 33 For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners. 34 Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein. 35 For God will save Zion, and will build 10 T0 PSALMS.–PROPHETIC. the cities of Judah : that they may dwell there, and have it in possession. 36 The seed also of his servants shall in- herit it : and they that love his name shall dwell therein.

He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. 14 He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight. 15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised. 16. There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon the top of the mountains: the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass Of the earth. 17 His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the Sun: and men shall be blessed in him : all nations shall call him blessed. 18 Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things. 19 And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory ; Amen, and Amen. 20 The prayers of David the Son of Jesse are ended.

The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. 8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. 9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. 10 All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. 11 They compassed me about ; yea, they compassed me about : but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. w 12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 13 Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. 14 The LORD is my strength and Song, and is become my Salvation. 15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly, 16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted : the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. 17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. 18 The LORD hath chastened me Sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. 19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD : 20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. 21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my Salvation. 22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head Stone of the corner. 23 This is the LORD's doing; it is marvel- lous in our eyes. 24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD : O LORD, I beseech thee, Send now prosperity. 26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD : we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. 27 God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light : bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. - 28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee. 29 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.

Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the chil- dren of men. 11 For they intended evil against thee; they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform. 12 Therefore shalt thou make them turn their back, when thou shalt make ready th??ve arrows upon thy strings against the face of them. 13 Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.

But God shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses. 22 The Lord said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from the depths of the sea: 23 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in the same. 24 They have seen thy goings, O God; ever, the goings of my God, my King, in the Sanctuary. 25 The singers went before, the players On instruments followed after ; among them? were the damsels playing with timbrels. 26 Bless ye God in the congregations, even the Lord, from the fountain of Israel. 27 There is little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their coun- cil, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali. 28Thy God hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought for us. 29 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto thee. 30 Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: Scatter thou the people that delight in war. 31 Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethi- § shall.

Selah. 4 Thou art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. 5 The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep; and none of the men of might have found their hands. 6. At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, both the chariot and horse are cast into a dead sleep. 7 Thou, even thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in thy sight when Once thou art angry : 8 Thou didst cause judgment to be heard #" heaven; the earth feared, and was still, 9 When God arose to judgment, to save all the meek of the earth. Selah. 10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee: the remainder of wrath shalt thou restrain. 11 Vow, and pay unto the LORD your God: let all that be round about him bring pres- ents unto him that ought to be feared. 12 He shall cut off the spirit of princes: he Žs terrible to the kings of the earth.

For this was a statute for Israel, and a law. Of the God of Jacob. 5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testi- mony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. 6 I removed his shoulder from the bur- den : his hands were delivered from the OtS. 7 Thou Calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the Secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah. 8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me ; 9 There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. 10 I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee Out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. 11. But my people would not hearken to my voice ; and Israel would none of me. 12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust; and they walked in their own Counsels. - 13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways 14 I should soon have subdued their ene- mies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. 15 The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him : but their time should have endured for ever. 16 He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.

Selah. 3 Thou hast taken away all thy wrath : thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. 4 Turn us, O God of our Salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. 5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever ? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all gen- erations Ž 6 Wilt thou not revive us again : that thy people may rejoice in thee? 7 Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy Salvation. 8 I will hear what God the LORD will speak : for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his Saints: but let them not turn again to folly. 9 Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in Our land. 10 Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed eate/ ot/ver. 11 Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. 12 Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. 13 Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the Way of his steps. 1075 FSALMS.

He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their Sakes; 15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. 16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread. - 17 Hesent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant : 18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron : 19 Until the time that his word Came: the word of the LORD tried him. 20 The king sent and loosed him ; ever, #. ruler of the people, and let him go I’ee. 21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: 22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his Senators wisdom. 23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. 24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies. 25 He turned their heart to hate his peo- ple, to deal subtilly with his servants. 26 He sent Moses his servant ; and Aaron whom he had chosen. 27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. 28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word. 29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. 30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings. 31. He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts. 32 He gave them hail for rain, and flam- ing fire in their land. 33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts. 34 He spake, and the locusts came, and Caterpillers, and that without number, 35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. 36 He Smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. 37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble per- Son among their tribes. 38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. 39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to jºe light in the night. 40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. - 41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river. 42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. 43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: 44 And gave them the lands of the hea- then; and they inherited the labour of the people; 45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws.

PSALM 107.—1 The psalmist exhortetſ, the redeemed, in praising God, to observe his manifold providence, 4 over travellers, 10 over captives, 17 over sick ºnen, 23 over seamen, 33 and in diver's varieties of life. 1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Tet the redeemed of the IORD Say So, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy : 3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. 4 They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell Ill. 5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. 6 Then they cried unto the TORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. 7 And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habi- tation. 8 Oh that men would praise the IORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men 9 For he satisfieth the longing Soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. 10 Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; 11 Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High : 12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. 13 Then they cried unto the TORD in their trouble, (tºd he saved them out of their dis- tresses. 14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in Sunder. 15 Oh that men would praise the TORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men 16 For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in Sunder. 17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. 18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. 19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. 20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. 21 Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men 22 And let them. Sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. - 23 They that go down to the Sea in ships, that do business in great waters; 24 These see the works of the TORD, and his wonders in the deep. 25 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. . 26 They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. 27 They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end. 28 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. 29 He maketh the storm a calm, So that the waves thereof are still. 30 Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their de- sired haven. 31 Oh that men would praise the TORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men 32 Let them exalt him also in the con- gregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. 33 He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground: 34 A. fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. 35 He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into water- Springs. - 1080 PSATMS.–THANKSGIVING. 36 And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; 37 And sow the fields, and plant vine- yards, which may yield fruits of increase. 38 He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease. 39 Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and Sor- I’OW. 40 He poureth contempt upon princes, and causefh them to wander in the wilder- ness, where there is no way. 41 Yet setteth he the poor on high from mºtion. and maketh Jºnz families like a lock. 42 The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. 43 Whoso is wise, and will Observe these things, even they shall understand the lov- ingkindness of the LORD. PSALM 117.-An exhortation to praise God for his mercy and truth. 1 O praise the TORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. 2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD 67%- dureth for ever.

The LORD is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. 18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. 19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him : he also will hear their cry, and will Save them. 20 The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he de- stroy. 21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD : and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

Praise the LORD, O my Soul. 2. While I live will I praise the LORD : I will sing praises unto my God while I have any being. 3 Put not your trust in princes, 2007 in the Son of man, in whom there is no help. 4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. * 5 Happy is he that hat/, the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God: 6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is : which keepeth truth for ever : 7 Which executeth judgment for the op- pressed : which giveth food to the hungry. The IORD looseth the prisoners: 8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind : the TORD raiseth them that are bowed down : the TORD loveth the righteous: 9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow : but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. 10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy 1081 T’SATMS.

To THE CHIEF MUSICIAN, A PsALM of DAVID, THE SERVANT OF THE LoRD, WHO SPAKE UNTO THE Lord THE WORDS OF THIS son G IN THE DAY THAT THE LORD DELIVERED HIM FROM THE HAND OF ALL HIS ENEMIES, AND FROM THE HAND OF SAUL : AND HE SAID, 1 I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. 2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my Salvation, and my high tower. 3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: So shall I be saved from mine enemies. 4 The Sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. 5 The Sorrows of hell compassed me about : the Snares of death prevented me. 6. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice Out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. 7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth. 8 There went up a smoke out of his nos- trils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. 9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet. 10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind. 11. He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals Of fire. 13 The TORD also thundered in the heav- ens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail Stones and coals of fire. 14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scat- tered them ; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them. 15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils. 16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters. 17 He delivered me from my strong en- emy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me. 18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay. 19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted IIl Iſle. 20 The IORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the clean- ness of my hands hath he recompensed me. 21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, § have not wickedly departed from my OCl. 22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. 1082 BSALMS.—THANKSGIVING. 23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity. 24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, accord- ing to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight. 25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thy- self merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright; 26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure ; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward. 27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. 28 For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness. 29 Tor by thee I have run through a troop ; and by my God have I leaped over a wall. 30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried : he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. 31 For who is GOd Save the TORD? Or who &s a rock save our God? 32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. 33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places. 34 He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. 35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation : and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great. 36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. 37 I have pursued mine enemies, and over- taken them : neither did I turn again till they were consumed. 38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet. * 39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle : thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me. 40 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me. 41 They cried, but there was none to save them : even unto the LORD, but he answered them not. 42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets. 43 Thou hast delivered me from the striv- ings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen : a people whom I have not known shall serve me. 44 AS Soon as they hear of me, they shall Obey me: the strangers shall submit them- selves unto me. 45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places. dº 46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted. 47 It is God that avengeth me, and sub- dueth the people under me. 48 He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. 49 Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name. 50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.

I will extol thco, O LORD ; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice Over me. 2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. 3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave : thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. 4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. 5 For his anger endureth but a moment : in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. 6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. 7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. 8 I cried to thee, O LORD ; and unto the LORD I made supplication. 9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit 2 Shall the dust praise thee ? shall it declare thy truth? 10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: TORD, be thou my helper. 11 Thou hast turned for me my mourn- ing into dancing: thou hast put off my sack- cloth, and girded me with gladness; 12 To the end that any glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for GVer. PSALM 34–1 David praiseth God, and eahoſteth others thereto by his eaſperience. 8 They are blessed that trust in God. 11.

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD : let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me. 12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about : mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head : therefore my heart faileth me. t 13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O TORD, make haste to help me. 14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my Soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil. 15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha. 16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy Salva- #. say continually, The LORD be magni- ed. 17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me : thou art my help *. my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my OCl.

An exhortation to praise God for his Thercy. 5 The psalmºst by has experience sheweth how good it is to trust in God. 19 Uhuder, the type of the psalmist the coming of Christ in his king- dom, is ea pressed. 1 O give thanks unto the LORD ; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Let Israel now say, that his mercy en- duº'et/ for ever. 3 Det the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. 6 The LORD is on my side ; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? 7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me : therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. 8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. 9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. 10 All nations compassed me about : but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them. 11 They compassed me about ; yea, they compassed me about : but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 12 They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them. 13 Thou hast thrust; SOre at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me. 14. The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my Salvation. 15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. 16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted : the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. 17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. 18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. 19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the T.ORD : 20 This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. 21 I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my Salvation. 22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. 23 This is the LORD's doing ; it is marvel- lous in our eyes. 24. This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. 25 Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD : O LORD, Ibeseech thee, send now prosperity. 26 Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD : we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. 27 God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light : bind the Sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. 28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thow art my God, I will exalt thee. 29 O give thanks unto the LORD ; for he is good : for his mercy endſh/ret/ for ever. PSALM 138.-1. David praiseth God for the truth of his word. 4 He prophesieth that the kings of the earth º praise God. 7 He professeth his confidence in God. A PsALM OF DAVID. 1 I will praise thee with my whole heart: º the gods will I sing praise unto 1662. 2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth; for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 3 In the day when I cried thou answer- edst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul. 4 All the kings of the earth shall praise thee, O LORD, when they hear the words of thy mouth. : 5 Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD : for great is the glory of the LORD. 6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly : but the proud he knoweth afar off. 7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me : thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save IY) 62. 8 The LORD will perfect that which con- Cerneth me : thy mercy, O LORD, endureth. for ever: forsake not the works of thine Own hands. PSALM 144.—1 David blesseth God for his mercy both to him and to man. , 5 J/e prayeth that God would powerfully deliver him from his enemies. , 9 He ſº to praise God. 11 IIe prayeth for the happy State of the kingdom. A PSALM OF DAVID. 1 Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight: 2 My goodness, and my fortress: my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust ; who subdueth my people under me. - 3 TORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him or the son of man, that thou makest account of him 4 Man is like to vanity: his days are as a shadow that passeth away. 5 Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down: touch the mountains, and they shall Smoke. 6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter them: shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. 7 Send thine hand from above ; rid me, 1086 PSALMS. PUNISHMENT. and deliver me out of great waters, from the hand of strange children : 8 Whose mouth speaketh Vanity, and their right hand is a right hand Offalsehood. 9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee. 10 It is he that giveth Salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. 11 Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of Strange children, whose mouth Speaketh Vanity, and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood : 12 That our Sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may he as corner stones, polished &fter the simil- ilude of a palace : 13 That our garners may be full, afford- ing all manner of store: that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten thousands in Our StreetS : 14 That our oxen may be strong to labour; that there be no breaking in, nor going Out ; that there be no complaining in our StreetS. 15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God Žs the LORD.

Also unto thee, O Tord, Öe- longeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work. Prov. 12:14. The recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him. Prov. 24:12. If thou Sayest, Behold, we knew it not ; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it 2 and he that keepeth thy Soul, doth not he know it * and shall anot he render to every man according to his works? Isa. 59:18. According to their deeds, ac- cordingly he will repay, fury to his adver- saries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence. Jer. 17:10. I the ILORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man ac- cording to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. 1087 PUNISHMEN T–DELAYED–DESIGN OF. Ezek. 7:3. Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abom- inations. 27. I will do unto them after their way, and according to their deserts will I judge them ; and they shall know that I am the LORD. Ezek. 16:59. For thus saith the Tord GOD ; I will even deal with thee as thou bast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant. Ezek. 39:24. According to their unclean- ness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them. - Zech. 1:6. Dike as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to Our ways, and according to Our doings, SO hath he dealt with us. Matt. 5:22. But I say unto you, That who- soever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment : and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council : but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. * Matt. 16:27.

These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thouthought- est that I was altogether such an one asthy- self: bºtt I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes. Psa. 55:19. God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God. Prov. 1:24. Because I have called, and ye refused ; I have stretehed out my hand, and no man regarded ; 25. But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26. I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27. When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruc- tion cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me : 29. For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD : 30. They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof. 31. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own de- vices. Eccl. 8:11. Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. 12. Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be pro- longed, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him : 13. But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow ; because he feareth not before God. Hab. 1:2. O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear ! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save 3. Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance 2 for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention. 4. Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth : for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth. DESIGN OF : TO SECURE OBEDIENCE : Gen. 2:17. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it : for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Ex. 20:3. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 4. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5. Thou shalt, not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them : for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visit- ing the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth genera- tion of them that hate me: Lev. 26:14. But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these command- ments; 15. And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judg- ments, so that ye will not do all my com- mandments, but that ye break my covenant: 16. I also will do this unto you ; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your ene- mies shall eat it. 17. And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain be- fore your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. 18. And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins. 19. And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, 1088 FUNISHMENT. T)IVINE. and your earth as brass: 20. And your strength shall be spent in vain : for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. 21. And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you accord- ing to your sins. 22. I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate. 23. And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me; 24. Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins. 25. And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant : and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you: and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy. 26. And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in One Oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight : and ye shall eat, and not be satis- fied. 27. And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; 28. Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. 29. And ye shall eat the flesh of your Sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. 30. And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my Soul shall abhor you. 31. And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours. , 32. And I will bring the land into desolation : and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it. 33. And I will Scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you : and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste. 34. Then shall the land enjoy her Sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your ene- mies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths. 35. As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest : because it did not rest in your Sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. 36. And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them ; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pur- sueth. 37. And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth : and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies. 38. And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39. And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. Deut. 13:10. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die ; because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, which brought thee Out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. 11. And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is among you. Deut. 21:21. And all the men of his city shall stone him with Stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear. chapter 17:13; 19:20. Prov. 19:25. Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will under- stand knowledge. Prov. 21:11. When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: Prov. 26:3. A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back. See JUDGMENTS, DESIGN OF. DIVINE: NO ESCAPE FROM : Job. 11:20. But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost. Prov. 1:24. Because I have called, and ye refused ; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded ; 25. But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26. I also will laugh at your calamity ; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27. When your fear cometh as a desolation, and your de- struction cometh as a whirlwind : when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me : 29. For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD : 30. They would none of my counsel : they despised all my re- proof. 31. Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their Own devices. Prov. 11:21. Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: Prov. 16:5. Every one that is proud in heart is an abomination to the LORD : though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished. Prov. 29:1. He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be de- stroyed, and that without remedy. Jer. 11:11. Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them. Jer. 15:1. Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this peo- ple f º them out of my sight, and let them grO forth. "jer. 25.28.

Ye shall not be un- punished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, Saith the LORD of hostS. Amos 2:14. Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself: 15. Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that Žs swift of foot shall not deliver / ????self.' neither shall he that rideth the horse de- liver himself. 16. And he that is cour- ageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD. Zeph. 1:18. Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy : for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land. Ezek. 7:19. Matt. 10:28. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the Soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matt. 23:33. Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damna- tion. Of hell ? Rom. 2:3. Thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God 2 Col. 3:25. He that doeth wrong shall re- ceive for the wrong which he hath done : and there is no respect of persons. Heb. 2:3. How shall we escape, if we neg- lect SO great Salvation; Heb. 12:25. If they escaped not who re- fused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven : ETERNAL: Isa. 34:8. For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion. 9. And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brim- stone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch. 10. It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever. Dan. 12:2. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Matt. 3:12. He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. Matt. 10:28. And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matt. 18:8. Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into ever- lasting fire. Matt. 25:41. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 46. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal. Mark 3:29. But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgive- ness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: Luke 3:17. Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and will gather the wheat into his garner; but the Chaff he will burn with fire unquenchable. John 5:29. And shall come forth ; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. Heb. 6:2. Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. Heb. 10:28. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three wit- nesses: 29. Of how much SOrer punish- ment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, where with he was Sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace 2 30. For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, Saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Rev. 14:10. The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his in- dignation ; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb : 11.

Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt ; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the TOrd. 10. For this is the COvenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11. And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord : for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12.

My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother? 20. And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little One; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loveth him. 21. And thou saidst unto thy serv- ants, Bring him down unto me, that I may Set mine eyes upon him. 22. And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot leave his father: for if he should leave his father, / is father would die. 23. And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see ºny face no more. 24. And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord. 25. And our father said, Go again, and buy us a lit- tle food. 26. And we said, We cannot go down : if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down: for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us. 27. And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two Sozºs. 28. And the One went Out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I saw him not since: 29. And if ye take this also from me, and mischief befall him, ye shall bring down my gray hairs with Sorrow to the grave. 30.

It shall come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with 7ts, that he will die: and thy servants shall bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to the grave. 32. For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever. 33. Now therefore, I pray thee, let thy servant abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren. 34. For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? lest peradventure I see the evil that shall come on my father. J{}SEPH REWEALING HIS II) ENTITY: Gen. 45:1. Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him, and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren. 2. And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard. 3. And Joseph said unto his breth- ren, T (tº Joseph ; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him ; for they were troubled at his presence. 4. And JOSeph Said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. 5. Now there- fore be not grieved, nor angry with your- selves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. 6. For these two years / at/, the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there s/ &// neither be earing nor har- vest. 7. And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 8. So now it acts not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt. 9. Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not : 10. And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast : 11. And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty. 12. And, behold, your eyes See, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin, that it is my mouth that speaketh unto you. 13.

THE DELIVERANCE OF THE ISRAEL- ITES FROM PHARAOH ! Ex. 14:5. And it, was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from Serving us? 6. And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him: 7. And he took six hun- dred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them. 8. And the LORD hardened the heart of Pha- raoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children. Of Israel went out with an high hand. 9. But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and Overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi—hahiroth, before Baal-Zephon. 10. And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them ; and they were sore afraid : and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD. 11. And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness 2 wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt : 12. Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians ? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness. 13. And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. 14. The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. 15. And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: 16. But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the Sea, and divide it : and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. 17. And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. 18. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. 19. And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them : 20. And it came be- tween the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: So that the One came not near the Other all the night. 21. And Moses stretched Out his hand over the Sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. 22. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. 23. And the Egyp- tians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24. And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, 25. And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily : so that the Egyptians said, Tet us flee from the face of Israel; for the TORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians. 26. And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. 27. And MOSes stretched forth his hand over the Sea, and the Sea re- turned to his strength when the morning appeared ; and the Egyptians fled against it ; and the LORD Overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28. And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, dand all the host of Pharaoh that came into the Sea after them ; there re- mained not so much as one of them. 29. But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea ; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. 30. Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore. SONG OF MOSES WHEN PHARAOH AN}} HIS ARMY WERE OVERTHROWN: Ex. 15:1. Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the TORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the Sea. 2. The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my Salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habita- tion ; my father's God, and I will exalt him. 3. The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name. 4. Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea : his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea. 5. The depths have covered them : they sank into the bottom as a stone. 6. Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power : thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. 7. And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which con- Sumed them as stubble. 8. And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gath- ered together, the floods stood upright as an 1104 READINGS, SELECT. heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. 9. The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall de- stroy them. 10. Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them : they sank as lead in the mighty waters. 11. Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fear- ful in praises, doing wonders ? 12. Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them. 13. Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast rodeemed : thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation. 14. The people shall hear, and be afraid : Sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Pales- tina. 15. Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed ; the mighty men of Moab, trem- bling shall take hold upon them ; all the in- habitants of Canaan shall melt away. 16. Fear and dread shall fall upon them ; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased. 17. Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, £7, the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established. 18. The LORD shall reign for ever and ever. 19. For the horse of Pha- raoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemeninto the Sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them ; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea. DAVID'S LAMIENT OWER ABSALOMH : 2 Sam. 18:19. Then said Ahimaaz the Son of Zadok, Tet me now run, and bear the king tidings, how that the LORD hath avenged him of his enemies. 20. And Joab said unto him, Thou shalt not bear tidings this day, but thou shalt bear tidings another day: but this day thou shalt bear no tidings, because the king's son is dead. 21. Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran. 22. Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my Son, Seeing that thou hast no tidings ready ? 23. But howsoever, said he, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and Overran Cushi. 24. And David sat between the two gates: and the watchman went up to the roof over the gate unto the wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold a man running alone. 25. And the watch- man cried, and told the king. And the king said, If he be alone, there is tidings in his mouth. And he came apace, and drew near. 26. And the watchman saw another man running: and the watchman called unto the porter, and Said, Behold another man run- ning alone. And the king said, He also bringeth tidings. 27. And the watchman Said, Me thinketh the running of the fore- most is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king Said, He is a good man, and cometh with good tidings. 28. And Ahimaaz called, and said unto the king, All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon his face before the king, and said, Blessed be the LORD thy God, which hath delivered up the men that lifted up their hand against my lord the king. 29. And the king said, Is the young man Absalom Safe & And Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king's servant, and me thy Servant, I saw a great tumulf, bluf I knew not what ăț was. 30. And the king said ºnto / ????, Turn aside, and stand here. And he turned aside, and stood still. 31. And, behold, Cushi came; and Cushi said, Tidings, my lord the king: for the LORD hath avenged thee this day of all them that roseup against thee. 32. And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom Safe 3 And Cushi answered, The enemies of my lord the king, and all that rise against thee to do thee hurt, be as that young man is. 33. And the king was much moved, and went up to the cham- ber over the gate, and wept ; and as he went, thus he said, O my Son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom would God I had died for thee, O Absalom, my son, my son LIGHTS ANî) SHAI)(3WS: Ruth 1:1. NOW it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Beth-lehem-judah went to Sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. 2. And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Eph- rathites of Beth-lehem-judah. . And they came into the country of Moab, and con- tinued there. 3. And Elimelech Naomi's husband died ; and she was left, and her two Sons. 4. And they took them wives of the women of Moab : the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth : and they dwelled there about ten years. 5. And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of them ; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband. 6. Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab : for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread. 7. Where- fore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters in law with her; and they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah. 8. And Naomi said unto her two daughters in law, Go, return each to her mother's house: the LORD deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me. 9. The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each of yo” in the house of her husband. Then she kissed them; and they lifted up (70) 1105 READINGS, SELECT. their voice, and wept. 10. And they said unto her, Surely we will return with thee unto thy people. 11. And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me? are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands? 12. Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for I am too old to have an husband. If I should say, I have hope, if I should have an husband also to night, and should also bear sons; 13. Would ye tarry for them till they were grown? would ye stay for them from having husbands? nay, my daughters; for it grieveth me much for your sakes that the hand of the LORD is gone out against me. 14. And they lifted up their voice, and wept again: and Orpah kissed her mother in law; but Ruth clave unto her. 15. And she said, Behold, thy sister in law is gone back unto her people, and unto her gods: return thou after thy sis- ter in law. 16. And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge : thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: 17. Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried : the LORD do SO to me, and more also, ºf ought but death part thee and me. 18. When she saw that she was stedfastly minded to go with her, then she left speaking unto her. 19. So they two went until they came to Beth- lehem. And it came to pass, when they were come to Beth-lehem, that all the city was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi; 20. And she said unto them, Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. 21. I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty; why then Call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me? 22. So Naomi returned, and Ruth, the Moabitess, her daughter in law, with her, which returned out of the coun- try of Moab : and they came to Beth-lehem in the beginning of barley harvest. ELIJAH'S MIRACULOUS PRESERVA- TION: 1 Kin. 17:1. And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liv- eth, before whom Istand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 2. And the word of the LORD Came unto him, Saying, 3. Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 4. And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 5. So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD : for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 6. And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the even- ing; and he drank of the brook. 7. And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land. 8. And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, 9. Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belonget/h to Zidon, and dwell there : behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to Sustain thee. 10. So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, be- hold, the widow woman was there gather- ing of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. 11. And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and Said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. 12. And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a lit- tle oil in a Cruse: and, behold, I am gather- ing two Sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my Son, that we may eat it, and die. 13. And Elijah Said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast Said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. 14. For thus Saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD Sendeth rain upon the earth. 15. And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah : and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days. 16. And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Eli- iah. ELISHA AND THE WIDOW’S OHL; 2 Kin. 4:1. Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Eli- sha, Saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD : and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bond- men. 2. And Elisha, Said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine hand- maid hath not ally thing in the house, Save a pot of oil. 3. Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. 4. And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full. 5. So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out. 6. And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There 7s not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. 7. Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest. NAAMIAN THE LEPER : 2 Kin. 5:1. Now Naaman, Captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD 1106 READINGS, SELECT. had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper. 2. And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife. 3. And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria for he would recover him of his leprosy. 4. And one went in, and told his lord, Saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel. 5. And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment. 6. And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now, when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have there with sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy. 7. And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said, A77? I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy % where- fore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me. 8. And it was so, when Elisha, the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel. 9. So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. 10. And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, Say- ing, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. 11. But Naaman was Wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will Surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and re- cover the leper. 12. Are not Abana, and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel ? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage. 13. And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done Žt 2 how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean Z 14. Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. ESTHER’S TRHUMPH : Esth., 4:1. When Mordecai perceived all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on Sack- cloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry; 2. And came even before the king's gate: for none might enter into the king's gate clothed with sackcloth. 3. And in every province, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there (00's great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and waiting ; and many lay in Sackcloth and ashes. 4. So Esther's maids and her chamberlains came and told it her. Then was the queen ex- ceedingly grieved ; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sack- cloth from him : but he received it not. 5. Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had ap- pointed to attend upon her, and gave him a commandment to Mordecai, to know what it was, and why it was. 6. So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the streef of the city, which was before the king's gate. 7. And Mordecai told him of all that had hap- pened unto him, and of the sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to de- stroy them. 8. Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given at Shushan to destroy them, to shew it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her, and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him for her people. 9. And Hatach came and told Esther the words of Mordecai. 10. Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and gave him Commandment unto Mordecai; 11. All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put him. to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden Sceptre, that he may live : but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days. 12. And they told to Mordecai Esther's words. 13. Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews. 14. For if thou alto- gether holdest thy peace at this time, them. shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place ; but thou and thy father's house shall be de- stroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for satch a time as this ? 15. Then Fsfher bade then return Mordecai this answer, 16. Go, gather to- gether all the Jews that are present in Shu- shan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day : I also and my maidens will fast likewise ; and SO will I go in unto the king, which is not ac- cording to the law: and if I perish, I perish. 17. So Mordecai went his way, and did ac- cording to all that Esther had commanded him. Esth. 7:1. So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen. 2. And the king said again unto Esther on the Second day at the banquet of wine, What is thy peti- tion, queen Esther ? and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request? and it shall be performed, even to the half of the kingdom, 1107 SO 3 READINGS, SELECT. 3. Then Esther the queen answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request : 4. For we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bond women, I had held my tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the king's damage. 5. Then the king Ahasuerus answered and Said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do 6. And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. Then Ha- man was afraid before the king and the queen. 7. And the king arising from the banquet of wine in his wrath went into the palace garden: and Haman stood up to make request for his life to Esther the queen ; for he saw that there was evil de- termined against him by the king. 8. Then the king returned out of the palace gar- den into the place of the banquet of wine : and Haman was fallen upon the bed where- on Esther was. Then said the king, Will he force the queen also before me in the house? As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face. 9. And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, said before the king, Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who had spoken good for the king, standeth in the house of Ha- man. Then the king said, Hang him there- on. 10. So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified. THE BREWITY OF LIFE : Job 14:1. Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. 2. He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down : he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. 3. And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an One, and bringest me into judgment with thee ? 4. Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one. 5. Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months (tre with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; 6. Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling his day. 7. For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will Sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. 8. Though the root thereof was old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground ; 9. Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. 10. But man dieth, and wasteth away : yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? NATURE'S TESTIMONY: Job 28:1. Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it. 2. Iron is taken Out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone. 3. He setteth an end to dark- ness, and searcheth out all perfection : the stones of darkness, and the shadow of 1108 death. 4. The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant : even the waters forgotten of the foot : they are dried up, they are gone away from men. 5. As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire. 6. The stones of it are the place of Sapphires: and it hath dust of gold. 7. There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen: 8. The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it. 9. He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots. 10. He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye Seeth every precious thing. 11. He bindeth the floods from overflowing: and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light. 12. But where shall wisdom be found 2 and where is the place of under- Standing ? 13. Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. 14. The depth saith, It is not in me: and the Sea Saith, It is not with me. 15. It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price there- of. , 16. It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sap- phire. , 17. The gold and the crystal cannot equal it : and the exchange of it shall anot Öe for jewels of fine gold. 18. No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies. 19. The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold. 20. Whence then Cometh wisdom ? and where Čs the place of understanding 21. Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air. 22. T)estruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears. 23. God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. 24. For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven; 25. To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure. 26. When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the light- ning of the thunder: 27. Then did he see it, and declare it ; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out. 28. And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wis- dom; and to depart from evil is under- standing.

In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened. 4.

Or éver the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the Cistern. 7. Then shall the dust re- turn to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. CHRIST'S KING}}{}M FORESHADOWEH): Isa. 35:1. The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. 2. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God. 3. Strengthen'ye the weak hands, and con- firm the feeble knees. 4. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not : behold, your Godwill come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you. 5. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 6. Then shall the lame nam leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. 7. And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land Springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. 8. And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holi- ness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those : the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. 9. No lion shall be there, nor (t/vy ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there : 10. And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall Obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and Sighing shall flee away. THE {}MiNIPOTENCE AND INCOMPAR- ABLENESS (; F (361) : Isa, 40:1. Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. 2. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accom- plished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for She hath received of the IORD’s hand double for all her sins. 3. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low ; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: 5. And the glory of the LORD shall be re- vealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. 6. The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I Cry 3 All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: 7. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth : because the spirit of the LORD blow- eth upon it : Surely the people is grass. 8. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth : but the word of Our God shall stand for ever. 9. O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain ; O Jerusa- lem, that bringest good things, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God 10. Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him : behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. 11. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. 12. Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and com- prehended the dust of the earth in a meas- ure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance 2 13. Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him $ 14. With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judg- ment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding 3 15. Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing. 16. And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering. 17. All ma- tions before him are as nothing ; and they 1 109 READINGS, SELECT. are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity. 18. To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him 3 19. The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over with gold, and casteth silver chains. 20. He that is so impoverished that he hath no Oblation chooseth a tree that will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image, that shall not be moved. 21. Have ye not known 2 have ye not heard 2 hath it not been told you from the beginning ? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth ? 22. It Žs he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heav- ens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in : 23. That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. 24. Yea, they shall not be planted ; yea, they shall not be sown : yea, their stock shall not take root in the earth; and he shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble. 25. To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? Saith the Holy One. 26. Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. 27. Why Sayest thou, O Jacob, and speak- est, O Israel, My way is hid from the LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God? 28. Hast thou not known 2 hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary 2 there is no Searching of his understanding. , 29. He º power to the faint; and to them that *(ºve no might he increaseth strength. 30. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31. But they that wait upon the LORD shall re- new their strength; they shall mount up with Wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary ; and they shall walk, and not faint. THE WRATH OF GOD: AmOS 9:1. I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he Said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the postS may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them ; and I will slay the last of them with the Sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered. 2. Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down: 3. And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will Search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the Serpent, and he shall bite them : 4. And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good. 5. And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. 6. It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them. Out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name. THE MAJESTY OF GOI): Hab. 3:3. God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise, 4. And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power. 5. Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet. 6. He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow : his ways are everlasting. 7. I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble. , 8. Was the TORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of Salvation ? 9. Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers. 10. The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by : the deep uttered his voice, ºp lifted up his hands on high. 11. The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear. 12. Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger. 13. Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Selah. MARY'S MAGNIFICAT: Luke 1:46. And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. 49. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. , 50. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. 51. He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath Scattered the proud in the imagina- tion of their hearts. , 52. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath Sent empty away. 54. He hath holpen his Servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; 55. As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. 56. And 1110 READINGS, SELECT. Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house. THE PROPHETIC BH.ESSING OF ZACHARIAS: Luke 1:67. And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 68. Blessed be the TOrd God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 69. And hath raised up an horn of Salvation for us in the house of his servant David : 70. As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began : 71. That we should be saved from Our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 72. To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73. The Oath which he sware to our father Abra- ham, 74. That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, 75. In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. 76. And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Bighest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; 77. To give knowledge of Salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, 78. Through the tender mercy of Our God; whereby the day- spring from on high hath visited us, 79. To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide Our feet into the way of peace. 80. And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shew- ing unto Israel. THE BEATITUHDES: Matt. 5:1. And See- ing the multitudes, he went up into a moun- tain: and when he was Set, his disciples came unto him : 2. And he opened his mouth, and taught them, Saying, 3. Blessed are the poor in spirit : for their's is the king- dom of heaven. 4. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6. Blessed are they which do hun- ger and thirst after righteousness : for they shall be filled. 7. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for their's is the king- dom of heaven. 11. Blessed are ye, when nven shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad : for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 13. Ye are the Salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, where with shall it be salted ? it is thence- forth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16. Let your light So shine before men, that they may See your good works, and glorify your Fa- ther which is in heaven. GOD’S PROVIDENCE: Matt. 6:26. Be- hold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they 27. Which of you by taking thought can add One cubit unto his stature? 28. And why take ye thought for raiment 2 Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin; 29. And yet I Say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is Cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31. There- fore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat 3 Or, What shall we drink 2 or, Where withal shall we be clothed ? 32. (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34. Take therefore no thought for the morrow : for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. WISE AND FOOLISH BUILDERS : Matt. 7:21. Not every one that saith unto me, T.Ord, T.Ord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24. Therefore whosoever heareth these say- ings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not : for it was founded upon a rock. 26. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand ; 27. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. THE G00]) SAMARITAN : Luke 10:25. And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26. He said unto him, What is written in the law Ż how readest thou? 27. And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy Soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 28. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right : 11 11 READINGS, SELECT. this do, and thou shalt live. 29. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour ; 30. And Jesus answering Said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him, half dead. 31. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was ; and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 34. And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and Set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take Care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 36. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 37. And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, GO, and do thou likewise. THE PRODH6; AL SON : Tuke 15:11. And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12. And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to ºve. And he divided unto them his living. 13. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous liv- ing. 14. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country : and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat ; and no man gave unto him. 17. And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired Servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger | 18. I will arise and go to my father, and will Say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19. And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 20. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell On his neck, and kissed him. 21. And the Son said unto him, Father, I have sinned. against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him ; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 23. And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it, and let us eat, and be merry : 24. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. 25. Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. 26. And he called One of the servants, and asked what these things meant. 27. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and Sound. 28. And he was angry, and would not go in : therefore came his father Out, and intreated him. 29. And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment : and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: 30. But as Soon as this thy Son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. 31. And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. 32. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad : for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. THE RAISING OF LAZARUS: John 11:1. Now a certain man was sick, named Laza- rus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. 2. (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Laza- rus was sick.) 3. Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. 18. Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off: 19. And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concern- ing their brother. 20. Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him : but Mary sat still in the house. 21. Then Said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 22. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. 23. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. 24. Martha Saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 25. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrec- tion, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? 27. She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world. 28. And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee. 29. As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him. 30. Now Je- sus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him. 31. The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there. 32. Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and Saw 1112 READINGS, SELECT. him, she fell down at his feet, Saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 33. When Jesus there- fore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the Spirit, and was troubled, 34. And said, Where have ye laid him 2 They said unto him, Lord, come and See. 35. Jesus wept. 36. Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him 37. And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died? 38. Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. 39. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, Saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stink- eth : for he hath been dead four days. 40. Jesus Saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou should- est see the glory of God 2.41. Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the peo- ple which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. 43. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud Voice, Tazarus, come forth. 44. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus Saith unto them, LOOse him, and let him go. 45. Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed on him. 46. But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things Jesus had done. . THE BETRAYAL: Luke 22:47. And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 48. But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? 49. When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we Smite with the sword 7 50. And One of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. 51. And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. 52. Then Jesus Said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? 53. When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. 54. Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priest's house. And Peter fol- lowed afar off. 55. And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. 56. But a certain maid be- held him as he sat by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and said, This man was also with him. 57. And he denied him, say- ing, Woman, I know him not. 58. And after a little while another saw him, and Said, Thou art also of them. And Peter Said, Man, I am not. 59. And about the Space of One hour after another confidently affirmed, saying, Of a truth this fellow also was with him : for he is a Galilaean. 60. And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou Sayest. And immediately, while he yet Spake, the cock Crew. 61. And the Tord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Pefer remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. 62. And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. THE RESURRECTION: Luke 24:1. NOW upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepul- chre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. 2. And they found the stone rolled away from the Sepulchre. 3. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. 4. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men. stood by them in shining garments : 5. And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? 6. He is not here, but is risen: re- member how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 7. Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 8. And they remembered his words, 9. And returned from the sep- ulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest. 10. It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles. 11. And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they be- lieved them not. 12. Then arose Peter, and ran unto the Sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by them- selves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass. PETER AT PENTECOST: Acts. 2:1. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with One accord in one place. 2. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7. And they were all amazed and marvelled, 1113 TEADINGS, SELECT. sayingone to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8. And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born ? 9. Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10. Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of TLibya about Cy- rene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and pros- elytes, 11. Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12. And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, Saying One to another, What meaneth this ? 13. Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine, 14. But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto - them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: 15. For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, See- ing it is bºtt the third hour of the day. 16. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17. And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your Sons and your daughters shall proph- esy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18. And on my servants and on my hand- maidens I will pour Out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy ; 19. And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath ; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 20. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come : 21. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on name of the Lord shall be saved. 22. Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know. 23. Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24. Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death; because it was not possible that he should be holden Ofit. 25. For David speaketh concerning him, Iforesaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved. 26. Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad : moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 27. Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 28. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. 29. Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 30. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; 31. He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. 32. This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. 33. Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now See and hear. 34. For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 35. Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 36. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. STEPHEN'S DEFENSE: See p. 261. PAULANH) SIHAS IN PRISON : ActS 16:16. And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her mas- ters much gain by Soothsaying: 17. The same followed Paul and us, and cried, say- ing, These men are the Servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of Salvation. 18. And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the Spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came Out the same hour. 19. And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers, 20. And brought them to the mag- istrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, 21. And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to re- ceive, neither to observe, being Romans. 22. And the multitude rose up together against them : and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them. 23. And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely: 24. Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. 25. And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them. 26 And Suddenly there was a great earthquake, So that the foundations of the prison were Shaken : and immediately all the doors were Opened, and every One's bands were loosed. 27. And the keeper of the prison awaking Out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors Open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the pris- OnerS had been fled. 28. But Paul Gried With a loud voice, saying, DO thyself no harm : for we are all here. 29. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30. And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved ? 31. And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. 32. 1114 READINGS, SELECT. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. 33. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. 34. And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and re- joiced, believing in God with all his house. 35. And when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, Saying, Let those men go. 36. And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go : now therefore depart, and go in peace. 37. But Paul Said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncon- demned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison ; and now do they thrust us out privily may verily ; but let them come themselves and fetch us Out. 38. And the serjeants told these words unto the magis- trates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans. 39. And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city. 40. And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia ; and when they had seen the brethren, they com- forted them, and departed. PAUL 0N MARS’ HILL : Acts 17:22. Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. 23. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNIKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. 24. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands: 25. Neither is wor- shipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26. And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation ; 27. That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28. For in him we live, and move, and have Our being ; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 29. For- asmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. 30. And the times of this ignorance God winked at ; but now commandeth all men every where to repent : 31. Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteous- ness by that man whom he hath Ordained : whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. - PAUL BEFORE FELIX : A Cts 24:1. And after five days Ananias the high priest de- scended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul. 2. And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence, 3. We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness. 4. Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedi- ous unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words. 5. For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ring- leader of the sect of the Nazarenes: 6. Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged ac- cording to our law. 7. But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great vio- lence took him away out of our hands, 8. Commanding his accusers to come unto thee : by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him. 9. And the Jews also as- sented, saying that these things were SO. 10. Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, For- asmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself: 11. Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship. 12. And they neither found me in the temple disput- ing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city: 13. Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me. 14. But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: 15. And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. 16. And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. 17. Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings. 18. Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with mul- titude, nor with tumult. 19. Who Ought to have been here before thee, and Object, if they had ought against me. 20. Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council, 21. Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day. 22. And when Felix heard these things, having more per- fect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief Cap- tain shall come down, I will know the utter- most of your matter. 23. And he com- manded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid 1115 READINGS, SELECT. - ºr- none of his acquaintance to minister Or come unto him. 24. And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. 25. And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, GO thy way for this time; when Ihave a convenient SeaSOn, I will call for thee. 26. He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him. 27. But after two years Porcius Fes- tus came into Felix' room: and Felix, will- ing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound. - PAUL BEFORE AGRIPPA: See p. 262. CHARITY: 1 Cor. 13:1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as Sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and , all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could re- move mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. . 4. Char- ity suffereth long, and is kind; charity en- vieth not ; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5. Doth not behave itself un- seemly, seeketh not her Own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6. Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8. Charity never faileth; but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease ; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10. But when that which is per- fect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12. For now we see through a glass, dark- ly ; but then face to face: now I know in part ; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the great- est. Of these is charity. THE NEW HEAVEN AND THE NEW EARTH: Rev. 21:1. And I Saw a new heaven and a new earth : for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away ; and there was no more sea. 2. And I John saw the holy city, new Jeru- Salem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the taber- nacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. . 4. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither Sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write : for these words are true and faithful. 6. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the begin- ning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my Son. 8. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcer- ers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 9. And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. 10. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11. Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a Stone most precious, even like a jasper Stone, clear as crystal; 12. And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names writ- ten thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13. On the east three gates; on the north three gates; On the South three gates; and on the west three gates. 14. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15. And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. 16. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. 17. And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, ac- cording to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. 18. And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city ºpas pure gold, like unto clear glass. 19. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the Second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an em- erald ; 20. The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, Sardius; the Seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a ja- cinth ; the twelfth, an amethyst. 21. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every Several gate was of one pearl: and the Street of the city was pure gold, as 1116. READINGS, SELECT. REBELLION. it were transparent glass. 22. And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Al- mighty and the Lamb are the tem- ple of it. 23. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to Shine in it : for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. 24. And the na- tions of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it : and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. 25. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 26. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 27. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or makeſh a lie: but § which are written in the Lamb's book Of IITé. THE RIVER OF LIFE: Rev. 22:1. And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding Out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3. And there shall be no more Curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it ; and his servants shall serve him: 4. And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever, 6. And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. 7. Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. 8. And I John Saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 9. Then Saith he unto me, See thou do it not : for I am thy fellow- servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. 10. And he Saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 11. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still ; and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still : and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him beholy still. 12. And, behold, I come quickly ; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14. Blessed are they that do his command- ments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15. For without are dogs, and Sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoso- ever loveth and maketh a lie. 16. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 17. And the Spirit and the bride Say, Come. And let him that heareth Say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 18. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: . 19. And iſ any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 20. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even So, come, Lord Jesus. 21. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Rom. 5:1. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 10.

And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation ; 19. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them: and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20. Now then we are am- bassadors for Christ, as though God did be- Seech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21.

When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof, by the spirit of judg- ment, and by the spirit of burning. Isa. 12:3. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water Out of the wells of Salvation. Isa. 26:12. LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our works in us. Isa. 29:23.

Heb. 8:10, 11. Jer. 32:38. They shall be my people, and I will be their God: 39. And I will give them one heart, and One way, that they may ſear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them : 40.

Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with Oil. Ezek. 18:31. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have trans- gressed ; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? Ezek. 36:26. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you : and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. [Ezek. 11:19.] 27. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. 29. I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: Ezek. 37:1. The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, 2. And caused me to pass by them round about ; and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. 3. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live 2 And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. 4. Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. 5. Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: 6. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 7. So I prophesied as I was com- manded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. 8. And when I beheld, lo, the Sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. 9. Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD : Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 10. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and fihe hreath came into theili, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. 11. Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts. 12. Therefore prophesy and Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13. And ye shall know that I (tº the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up Out of your graves, 14. And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD. Ezek. 447. In that ye have brought into 7), gy sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations. 9. Thus saith the Lord GOD: No stranger, uncircum- cised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel. ſº Zech. 12:10. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications. and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. Matt. 12:33. Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt : for the tree is known by his fruit. 34. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, Speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 43. When the unclean Spirit is gone out of a man, he walkoth through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came Out ; and when (71) 1121 REGENERATION. he is come, he findeth it empty, Swept, and garnished. - Matt. 13:23. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, Some an hundredfold, some sixty, Some thirty. [Mark 4:20.] 33. The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. Duke 13:21. Matt. 18:3. Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Mark 10:15; Luke 18:17. Mark 4:26. And he said, So is the king- dom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground ; 27. And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the Seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. 28. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full Corn in the ear. 29. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is COIYle. Tuke 1:16. Many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God. 17. And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just ; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. - Luke 8:35. Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid. 38. Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39. Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him. Mark 5:19,20. John 1:4. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 13. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 16. And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. John 3:3. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4. Nicodemus Saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is Old 3 Can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born ? 5. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6. That which is born Of the flesh is flesh ; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest sº the Sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it Cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every One that is born of the Spirit. John 4:10. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 14. Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst ; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlast- ing life. - John 5:24. He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath ever- lasting life, and shall not come into con- ºnation: but is passed from death unto II6. John 6:44. No man can come to me, ex- cept the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. 45. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. 47. Verily, verily, I Say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 50. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: 57. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: So he that eateth me, even he shall five by me. John 8:12. I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in dark- ness, but shall have the light of life. 32. And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 36. If the Son there- fore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. John 10:9. I am the door : by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. 10. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy : I am come that they might have life, and that they might have fit more abundantly. John 13:8. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. John 15:1. I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 3. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. John 17:2. As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. Acts 2:38. Then Peter said unto them, Re- pent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 47. The Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved. Acts 3:26. Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities. * 1122 REGENERATION. Acts 11:17. Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ ; what was I, that I could withstand God $ 21. The hand of the Lord was with them : and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord. . - Acts 15:9. Put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Acts 16:14. A certain woman named Lydia, . . . whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were Spoken Of Paul. Acts 21:19. When he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things Gull had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry. - Acts 26:18. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are Sanctified by faith that is in me. Rom. 2:28. For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly ; neither is that circumci- sion, which is outward in the flesh : 29. But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and cir- cumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. - - Bom. 6:3. Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? 4. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even So we also should walk in newness of life. 5. Eor if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: 6. Know- ing this, that our old man is crucified with Jim, that the body of sin might be de- stroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7. For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him : 9. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more ; death hath no more dominion over him. 10. For in that he died, he died unto sin once : but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ Our Lord. 12. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield your- selves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14. For sin shall not have dominion over you : for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace 3 God forbid. 16. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his serv- ants ye are to whom ye obey; whether ÚUuslièSS, of Sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 17. But God be thanked, that ye were the Servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 18. Be- ing then made free from sin, ye became the Servants of righteousness. 19. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. 20. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from right- 21. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed ? for the end of those things is death. 22. But now being made free from sin, and be- come servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ Our Lord. - Rom. 7:6. Now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not 777, the oldness of the letter. . 24. O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from the body of this death 2 25. I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Tom. 8:2. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God Sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, con- demned sin in the flesh: 4. That the right- eousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh ; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 9. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 13. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14. IFor as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God. , 15. For ye have not received the Spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: Rom. 12:2. Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the re- newing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and per- fect, will of God. Rom. 15:16. That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God, that the Offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being «. sanctified by the Holy Ghost. 1123 - . REGHN ERATION. 1 Cor. 1:9. God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ . Our Lord. 24. Unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 30. Of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and Sanctification, and re- demption: 1 Cor. 2:12. We have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 14. The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. p 1 Cor. 3:6. Ihave planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7. So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth ; but God that giveth the increase. 9. For we are labourers together with God : ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. 1 Cor. 6:11. But ye are washed, but ye are Sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Cor. 12:6. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 13. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free ; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Cor. 15:10. By the grace of God I am what I am : 2 Cor. 1:21. Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, 7s God; 22. Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 2 Cor. 3:3. Ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. 18. But we all, with Open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the Same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Tord. 2 Cor. 4:6. For God, who commanded the light to Shine out of darkness, hath shined in Our hearts, to give the light of the knowl- edge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Cor. 5:5. Now he that hath wrought us for the Selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 17. If any man be in Christ, he is a new crea- ture: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Gal. 2:20. I am Crucified with Christ : mevertheless I live: yet not I, but Christ liv- eth in me : and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal. 4:29. As then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Gal. 6:15. In Christ Jesus neither circum- cision availeth any thing, nor uncircumci- Sion, but a new creature. Eph. 2:1. You hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 5. Even when we were deadin sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace yeare saved;) 6. And hath raised us up together, and made */s sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 8. For by grace are ye saved through faith ; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 10. We are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before Ordained that we should walk in them. Eph. 47. Unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up On high, he led captivity cap- tive, and gave gifts unto men. 16. From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual work- ing in the measure of every part, maketh in- crease of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. 21. If So be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22. That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23. And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24. And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Eph. 5:14. Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. Phil. 1:6. Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ : Col. 2:11. In whom also ye are circum- cised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ : 12. Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the Operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Col. 3:9. Ilie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10. And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him : 2 Thess. 2:13. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren be- loved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through Sanctification of the Spirit and be: lief of the truth: 1124 REGENERATION. Tit. 3:5. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the Washing of re- generation, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6. Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; Heb. 4:1. Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2. For untous was the gospel preached, as well as unto them : but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3. For we which have believed do enter into rost, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest; although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. 5. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 6. Seeing therefore it remain- eth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: 7. Again, he limiteth a certain day, Saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 8. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 9. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his Own works, as God did from his. 11. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of un- belief. 12. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asun- der of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Heb. 10:16. This is the Covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Tord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will Iwrite them ; 17. And their sins and iniquities will I re- member no more. 22. Tet us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, hav- ing our hearts sprinkled from an evil con- science, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23. Let us hold fast the profession of ow?" faith without wavering; (for he is faith- ful that promised;) Jas. 1:18. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures. Jas. 5:19. If any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; 20. Tet him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall Save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of SII].S. 1 Pet. 1:2. Elect according to the fore- knowledge of God the Father through sanc- tification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 3. Blessed be the God and Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 22. Seeing ye have purified your Souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23. Being born again not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever. 1 Pet. 2:3. If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. 9. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy na- tion, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you Out of darkness into his marvellous light: 2 Pet. 1:3. His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 1 John 2:27. The anointing, which ye have received of him, abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you : but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 29. If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born Of him. 1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born Of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him : and he cannot sin, because he is born Of God. 14. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. 1 John 4:7. Beloved, let us love One an- other: for love is of God; and every one that lovethis born of God, and knoweth God. 1 John 5:1. Whosoever believeth that Je- sus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. 4. For whatso- ever is born Of God Overcometh the world: and this is the victory that Overcometh the world, even our faith. 5. Who is he that Overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God 7 11. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 18. We know that whoSOever is born Of God sinneth not ; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one touch- eth him not.

In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all man- kind. 11. Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat ž 12. With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. 13. With him is wis- dom and strength, he hath counsel and un- derstanding. 14. Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening. 15. Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up ; also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth, 16. With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his. Job 35:10. But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; 11. Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? 12. There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. Job 37:1. At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. 2. Hear at- tentively the noise of his voice, and the sound f/at goeth out of his mouth. 3. He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. 4. After it a voice roareth : he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. 5. God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. 6. For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth ; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. 7. He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. 8. Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. 9. Out of the south conneth the whirlwind : and cold Out Of the north. 10. By the breath of God frost is given ; and the breadth of the waters is straitened. 11. Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: 12. And it is turned round about by his coun- Sels. that they may do whatsoever he com- mandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. 13. He causeth it to come, | 126 RELIGION.—TRUE. whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. 14. Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. 15. Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? 16. Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowl- edge? 17. How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind 2 18. Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? 19. Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness. 20. Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up. 21. And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. 22. Fair weather conneth out of the north : with God is terrible maj- esty. 23. Toºchºng the Almighty, we can- not find him out: /he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. 24. Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart. Psa. 8:1. O Lord Our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth ! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. 2. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou or- dained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. 3. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 4. What is man, that thou art mindful of him 7 and the son of man, that thou visitest him ? 5. For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 7. All sheep and oxen, yea and the beasts of the field; 8. The fowl of the air, and the fish of the Sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the sea. 9. O LORD Our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth ! Psa. 19:1. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2. Dayunto dayuttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. 4. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, 5. Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. 6. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it : and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. Acts 14:17. Nevertheless he left not him- self without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness. Acts 17:23. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNIKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. 24. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25. Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, Seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26. And hath made of One blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27. That they should seek the ord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28. For in him we live, and move, and have Our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Rorn. 1:18. For the wrath of God is re- vealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19. Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them : for God hath shewed it unto them. 20. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: |Pom. 10:16. But they have not all obeyed the gospel, For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report 2 17. So then faith comet/. by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 18. But I say, Have they not heard 2 Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the wOrld. See REVIVALS. TRUE : Matt. 5:1. And seeing the multi- tudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2. And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3. Blessed are the poor inspir- it : for their's is the kingdom of heaven. 4. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5. Blessed (tºe the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. , 6. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after right- eousness: for they shall be filled. 7. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mer. cy. S. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9. Blessed are the peace- makers: for they shall be called the chil- dren of God. 10. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for their's is the kingdom of heaven. 11. Blessed are ye, when yen shall revile you, and per- secute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12. Re- joice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 13. Yo are the Salt, of the earth : but if the Salt have lost his savour, where with shall it be salted ? it is thenceforth good for nothing, 1127 RELIGION.—TRUE. but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill can- not be hid. 15. Neither do men light a Can- dle, and put it under a bushel, but On a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16. Let your light SO shine before men, that they may See your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 17. Think not that I am COme to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19. Whosoever therefore shall break One of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20. For I Say unto you, That except your righteous- ness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. 21. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judg- ment: 22. But I say unto you, That who- soever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 23. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there re- memberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24. Leave there thy gift be- fore the altar, and go thy way; first be rec- onciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25. Agree with thine adver- sary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary de- River thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. 27. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28. But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh On a woman to lust after her hath commit- ted adultery with her already in his heart. 29. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is prof- itable 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. 31. It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: 32. But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. 33. Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt per- form unto the Lord thine Oaths: 34. But I Say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne: 35. Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. 36. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37. But let your communi- cation be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatso- ever is more than these cometh of evil. 38. Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39. But I Say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall Smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40. And if any man will Sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 43. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine en- emy. 44. But I Say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 45. That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and Sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same 2 47. And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others ? do not even the publi- cans so 2 48. Beye therefore perfect, even . your Father which is in heaven is per- ect. Matt. 6:1. Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: other- wise ye have no reward or your Father which is in heaven, 2. Therefore when thou doest thºve alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the Syn- agogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 3. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: 4. That thine alms may be in secret : and thy Father which Seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. 5. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are : for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which Seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. 7. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they 1128 RELIGION.—TRUE. shall be heard for their much speaking. 8. Be not yetherefore like unto them: for your |Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. 9. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. , 10. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11. Give us this day our daily bread. 12. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14. Tor if ye ſorgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you : 15. But if yo forgive not lºſell tilleir lºres- passes, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 16. Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a Sad counte- nance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 17. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; 18.That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which it in secret: and thy Father, which Seeth in secret, shall reward thee Openly. 19. Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth cor- rupt, and where thieves break through and steal : 20. But lay up for yourselves treas- ures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. 22. The light of the body is the eye : if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! 24. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 25. There- fore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment 2 26. Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they 27. Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature ? 28. And why take ye thought for raiment 7 Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin; 29. And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith ? 31. There- fore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Where- withal shall we be clothed ? 32. (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteous- ness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34. Take therefore no thought for the morrow : for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Matt. 7:1. Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged : and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3. And why beholdest fibnji fine mote that IS in thy brother's eye, but con- siderest not the beam that is in thine own eye 3 4. Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Tet me pull out the mote out of thine eye ; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye 2 5. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam Out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote Out of thy brother's eye. 6. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they tram- ple them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. 7. Ask, and it shall be given you; Seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8. For every one that asketh receiveth ; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 9. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone 7 10. Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a Serpent 7 11. If ye then, be- ing evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him ? 12. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them : for this is the law and the prophets. 13. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruc- tion, and many there be which go in there- at : 14. Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17. Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a cor- rupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name 2 and in thy name have cast out 1129 RELIGION.—TRUE. devils? and in thy name done many won- derful works? 23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. 24. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock : 25. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not : for it was founded upon a rock. 26. And every One that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand ; 27. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. 28. And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine : 29. For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the Scribes. Matt. 22:36. Master, which is the great commandment in the law § 37. Jesus Said unto him,Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38. This is the first and great commandment. 39. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. .40. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. - Acts 10:34. Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35. But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. Bom. 8:1. There is therefore now no con- demnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4. That the righteousness of the law might be ful- filled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded Žs life and peace. 7. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin: but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also im.4— * * * **** quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 12. Therefore, breth- ren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. Rom. 10:1. Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not ac- cording to knowledge. 3. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every One that believeth. 5. For MOSes describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven ? (that is, to bring Christ down from above :) 7. Or, Who shall descend into the deep 2 (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8. But what Saith it 2 The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10. For with the heart man believeth unto right- eousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation. 11. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12. For there is no differ- ence between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord Over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom. 12:1. I beseech you therefore, breth- ren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, accept- able unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renew- ing of your mind, that ye may prove what Žs that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 3. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think: but to think Soberly, according as God hath dealt to 1130 RELIGION.—TRUE. =– every man the measure of faith. 4. For as We have many members in One body, and all members have not the same office: 5. So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of an- Other. 6. Having then gifts differing ac- COrding to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prop/wesy accord- ing to the proportion of faith; 7. Or min- istry, let us wait on on/r ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; 8. Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let hºnº do it with simplicity ; he that rul- eth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. 9. Let love be without dissimulation. Alliur liai, which is evil : Cleave to that which is good. 10. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 11. Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; Serving the Lord ; 12. Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; Continuing instant in prayer; 13. Distrib- uting to the necessity of Saints; given to hospitality. , 14. Bless them which perse- cute you : bless, and curse not. , 15. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16. Be of the same mind One toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17. Recom- pense to no man evil for evil. Provide thingshonest in the sight of all men. 18. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19. Dearly be- loved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath : for it is written, Vengeance is mine : T will repay, Saith the Ilord. 20. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him: if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21. Be not Overcome of evil, but Overcome evil with good. 1 Cor. 13:1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as Sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mys- teries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove moun- tains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profit- eth me nothing. 4. Charity suffereth long, &nd is kind; charity envieth not ; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; 6. Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth : 7. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8. Charity never faileth : but whether there be proph- ecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9. For We know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. , 11. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face : now I know in part ; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity. Gal. 5:22. But thefruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, good- ness, faith, 23. Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law, 24. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 1 TheSS. 5:15. See that none render evil for evil unto any man ; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 16. Rejoice evermore. 17. Pray without ceasing. 18. In every- thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 19. Quench not the Spirit. 20. Tespise not prophesyings. , 21. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22. Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23. And the very God of peace Sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the com- ing of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Jas. 1:27. Pure religion and undefiled be- fore God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, awed to keep himself unspotted from the world. Jas. 2:8. If ye fulfil the royal law accord- ing to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9. But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgress- ors. 10. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11. For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12. So speak ye, and SO do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. 13. For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoic- eth against judgment. 14. What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works 2 can faith save him $ 15. If a brother or sister be na- ked, and destitute of daily food, 16. And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be gye warmed and filled ; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are need- ful to the body; what doth it profit 2 17. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19. Thou be- lievest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20. But 1131 FET,IGION. REMORSE. wilt thou know, O vain man,that faith with- out works is dead? 21. Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar' 22. Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made per- fect 2 23. And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25. Like- wise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the mes- sengers, and had sent them out another way? 26. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. 2 Pet. 1:5. And beside this, giving all dili- gence, add to your faith virtue; and to vir- tue knowledge; 6. And to knowledge tem- perance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7. And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kind- ness charity. 8. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 9. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot See afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Jude 20. But ye, beloved, building up your- Selves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, 21. Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Psa. 38:3. There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. 4. For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for he. 18. I will declare mine in- iquity; I will be sorry for my sin. Psa. 40:12. Mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. Psa. 41:4. I said, LORD, be merciful unto me : heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. Psa. 51:1. Have mercy upon me, O God, ac- cording to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2. Wash me 11 *D 39 REPENTANCE. – ExEMPLIFIED. throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speak- est, and be clear when thou judgest. 7. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean : wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may re- joice. 9. Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 14. Deliver me from bloodguilti- ness, O God, thou God of my Salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteous- ness. 15. O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16. For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offer- ing. 17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit : a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. Psa. 69:5. O God, thou knowest my fool- ishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. 10. When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. Psa. 73:21. Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. 22. So foolish Quas I, and ignorant : Psa. 106:6. We have sinned with Our fa- thers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. Psa. 119:59. I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. 60. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. 176. I have gone astray like a lost sheep ; Psa. 130:1. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. 2. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. 3. If thou, LORD, should- est markiniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? Isa. 6:5. Then said I, Woe is me ! for I am undone; because I (1777, a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Isa. 38:15. What shall I say ? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it.' I shall go Softly all my years in the bitter- ness of my soul. 17. Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of cor- ruption: for thou hast cast all my sins be- hind thy back. Isa. 59:12. Our transgressions are multi- plied before thee, and Oursins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them ; vs. 13–15. Isa. 64:5. Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that re- member thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is con- tinuance, and we shall be Saved. 6. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. 7. And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our ini- quities. Jer. 3:21. A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God. 22. Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee : for thou art the LORD Our God. 25. We lie down in Our shame, and Our confusion covereth us: for we have sinned against the LORD Our God, we and Our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD Our God. Jer. 8:14. Why do we sit still ? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be silent there : for the LORD Our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned againt the LORD. Jer. 14:7. O LORD, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's Sake: for Our backslidings are many ; we have sinned against thee. 20. We acknowl- edge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the ini- quity of Our fathers: for we have sinned against thee. Jer. 31:18. I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thºts; Thou hast chas- tised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yo/ce : turn thou me, and I shall be turned ; for thou art the LORD my God. 19. Surely after that I was turned, I repented ; and after that I was instructed, I Smote upon my thigh : I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. Lam. 3:40. Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD. 41. Let us lift up Our heart with ontº hands unto God in the heavens. Dan. 9:5. We have sinned, and have com- mitted iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts, and from thy judgments: 6. Neither have we hearkened unto thy serv- ants the prophets, which spake in thy name to Our kings, Our princes, and Our fathers, and to all the people of the land. 7. O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the Countries whither thou hast driven them, 1140 REPENTANCE. REPROBACY, because of their trespass that they have tres- passed against thee. Dan. 10:12. Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. Hos. 6:1. Come, and let us return unto the LORD : for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath Smitten, and he will bind us up. Hos. 14:3. Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye findeth mercy. 8. Ephrain shall say, Wlat have I to do any more with idols 3 Jonah 3:10. God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God re- pented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them ; and he did it not. Mic. 7:9. I will bear the indignation of the TORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judg- ment for me: he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness. Tuke 15:17. And when he Game to him- self, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough, and to spare, and I perish with hunger | 18. I will arise and go to my father, and will say un- to him, Father, I have sinned against heav- en, and before thee, 19. And am no more worthy to be called thy son : make me as one of thy hired servants. 20. And he arose, and came to his father. 1 Cor. 15:9. I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, be- cause I persecuted the church of God. 2 Cor. 7:9. Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to re- pentance: for ye were made Sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive dam- age by us in nothing. 10. For godly Sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 11. For behold this self- same thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness is wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what ve- hement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what re- venge! 1 Pet. 2:25.

Gen. 6:5. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil con- tinually. 6. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7. And the LORD Said, I will destroy man whom I have Cre- ated from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. Gen. 19:13. For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great be- fore the face of the LORD ; aud the LORD hath sent us to destroy it. Deut. 28:15. But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his com- mandments and his statutes which I Com- mand thee this day: that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: 16. Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field. 17. Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store. 18. Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 19. Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest Out. 20. The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly ; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me. 21. The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. 22. The LORD shall Smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish. 23. And thy heaven that is Over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron. 24. The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust : from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be 1141. REPROBACY. destroyed. 25. The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them : and shalt be re- moved into all the kingdoms of the earth. 26. And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away. 27. The LORD will Smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. 28. The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart : 29. And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man Shall Save thee. 30. Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof. 31. Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine ene- mies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them. 32. Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand. 33. The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a na- tion which thou knowest not eat up ; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway: 34. So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see. 35. The LORD shali Smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that can- not be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. 36. The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt Set Over thee, unto a nation which neither thou northy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone. 37. And thou shalt become an astonish- ment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee. 38. Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather bºtt little in ; for the locust shall consume it. 39. Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them. 40. Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thy- self with the oil; for thine Olive shall cast his fruit. 41. Thou shalt beget Sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them : for they shall go into captivity. 42. All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume. 43. The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high ; and thou shalt come down very low. 44. He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him : he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail. 45. Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pur- sue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be de- stroyed ; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: 46. And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a Wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. 47. Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyful- ness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things ; 48. Therefore shalt, thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee. 49. The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle fieth ; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand ; 50. A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young : 51. And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed : which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee. 52. And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee. 53. And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine Own body, the flesh of thy Sons and of thy daugh- ters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, where with thine enemies shall distress thee: 54. So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave : 55. So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat : because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, where with thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates. 56. The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter, 57. And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, where with thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates. 58. If thou wilt not Observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD: 59. Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, 1142 REPROBACY. and of long continuance, and Sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. 60. Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. 61. Also every sick- ness, and every plague, which is not writ- ten in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be de- stroyed. 62. And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou would- est not obey the voice of the LORD thy God. 63. And it shall come to pass, that as the TORD rejoiced Over you to do you good, and —to-multiply you ;-se–the–LORD will—rejeiee. over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought : and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. 64. And the LORD shall Scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone. 65. And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the Sole of thy foot have rest : but the TORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind: 66. And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none as- surance of thy life : 67. In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning ! for the fear of thine heart where with thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt See. 68. And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way where- of I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again : and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bond Women, and no man shall buy yout. Deut. 31:17. Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them : so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because Our God Žs not among us? 18. And I will Surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods. Psa. 81:11. But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. 12. So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust ; and they walked in their own counsels. Prov. 1:24. Because I have called, and ye refused ; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded ; 25. But ye have set at nought my counsel, and would none of my reproof: 26. I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27. When your fear cometh as des- olation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish com- eth upon you. 28. Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me : Isa. 6:9. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not ; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10. Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed. Isa. 22:12. And in that day did the Lord GOD of hosts call to weeping, and to mourn- ing, and to baldness, and to girding with Sackcloth : 13. And behold joy and glad- hess, slaying—exen, and killing—Sheep, eat- ing flesh, and drinking wine : let us eat and drink; for to morrow we shall die. 14. And it was revealed in mine ears by the LORD of hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord GOD of hosts. Isa. 28:13. But the word of the TORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept ; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little ; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and Snared, and taken. Isa. 29.9. Stay yourselves, and wonder : cry ye out, and cry : they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. 10. For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered. 11. And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men, deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I can- not ; for it is sealed : 12. And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he Saith, I am not learned. Isa. 65:12. Therefore will Inumber you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not. +. Jer. 6:30. Reprobate silver shall me?”, call them, because the LORD hath rejected them. Jer. 7:16. Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee. Jer. 15:1. Then said the LORD unto me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind cont/d not be toward this peo- ple: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth. FIos. 5:6. They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD ; but they shall not find him ; he hath withdrawn himself from them. Matt. 13:14. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive : 15. For this people's heart is waxed groSS, 1143 REPROBACY. and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. Matt. 15:14. Det them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. Matt. 25:8. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for Our lamps are gone out. 9. But the wise answered, say- ing, Not so ; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came ; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11. Afterward came also the other virgins, say- ing, Lord, Lord, Open to us. 12. But he an- Swered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. Mark 3:29. But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgive- neSS, but is in danger of eternal damna- tion. Luke 13:24. Strive to enter in at the strait gate : for many, I Say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25. When Once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, Saying Lord, Lord, Open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: 26. Then shall ye be- gin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in Our streets. 27. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. 28. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the king- dom of God, and you yourselves thrust Out. Luke 14:24. For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. John 10:26. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto yOll. John 17:12. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the Scripture might be fulfilled. Rom. 9:21. Hath not the potter power Over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another under dishonour 3 22. What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels Of wrath fitted to destruction : ROm. 11:7. What then ? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 8. (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear:) unto this day. 17. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the Olive tree; 18. Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. .19. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 2 Cor. 13:5. Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. R now ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be repro- bates? 6. But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates. 7. Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates. 2 Thess. 27. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work : only he who now let- teth will let, until he be taken Out of the way. 8. And then shall that Wicked be re- vealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: 9. Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish ; be- cause they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie : 12. That they all might be damned who be- lieved not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2 Tim. 3:8. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate con- cerning the faith. Heb. 3:10. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart ; and they have not known my ways. 11. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest. 12. Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in de- parting from the living God. 17. But with whom was he grieved forty years ? was it not with them that had sinned, whose car- cases fell in the wilderness? 18. And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not ? 19. So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. Heb. 6:4.

And have tasted the good word of God, and the pow- ers of the world to come, 6. If they shall 1144 REPROBACY. REPROOF. fall away, to renew them again unto re- pentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7. For the earth which drink- eth in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 8. But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing ; whose end is to be burned. Heb. 10:26. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more Sacrifice for sins, 27. But a certain fearful looking for Tof judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29. Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, where with he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace 3 30. IFor we know him that hath said, Venge- ance belongeth unto me, I will recom- pense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. Heb. 12:15. Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 16. Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birth- right. 17. For ye know how that after- ward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears. 1 John 5:16. If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin * death: I do not say that he shall pray Or it. Jude 4. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old or- dained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lascivi- ousness, and denying the only Lord God, and Our Lord Jesus Christ. 5. I will there- fore put you in remembrance, though ye Once knew this, how that the Lord, hav- ing saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that be- lieved not. , 6. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 7. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire, S. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, de- spise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. 9. Yet Michael the archangel, when con- tending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. 10. But these speak evil of those things which they know not : but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt them- selves. 11. Woe unto them for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding—them- selves without fear : clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13. Raging waves of the Sea, foaming out their Own Shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. Tev. 22:11. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still ; and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

Tet the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: Prov. 9:7. He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame : and he that re- buketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. 8. Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Prov. 10:17. He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. Prov. 12:1. Whoso loveth instruction lov- eth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof 7s brutish. Prov. 13:18. Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. Tºrov. 15:5. A fool despiseth his father's instruction: but he that regardeth reproof is prudent. 10. Correction is grievous unto him that forsaketh the way: and he that hateth reproof shall die. , 12. A scorner lov- eth not one that reproveth him : neither will he go unto the wise. 31. The ear that hear- eth the reproof of life abideth among the wise. 32. He that refuseth instruction de- spiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding, Prov. 17:10. A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool. 1145 REPROOF. Prov. 19:25. Smite a scorner, and the simple will beware: and reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge. Prov. 21:11. When the scorner is pun- ished, the simple is made wise : and when º wise is instructed, he receiveth knowl- edge. Prov. 25:12. As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear. Prov. 26:5. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. Prov. 27:5. Open rebuke is better than secret love. 6. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; Prov. 28:23. He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue. Eccl. 7:5. It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the Song of fools. . Amos 5:10. They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speak- eth uprightly. Matt. 18:15. Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church : but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. Luke 17:3. Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him ; and if he repent, forgive him. 4. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to #. Saying, I repent ; thou shalt forgive IIYl. John 7:7. The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the Works thereof are evil. Gal. 4:16. Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth ? Eph. 4:15. Speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ : Eph. 5:11. Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 13. All things that are re- proved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Phil. 3:1. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 1 Thess. 5:14. Now we exhort you, breth- ren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. 1 Tim. 5:1. Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren ; 2. The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity. 20. Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 2 Tim. 4:2. Preach the word; be instant in Season, out of Season; reprove, rebuke, ex- hort with all longsuffering and doctrine. Tit. 1:13. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Heb. 3:13. Exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hard- ened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Job 1:13. And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: 14. And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them : 15. And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. 16. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them ; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. 17. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. 18. While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and Said, Thy Sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house : 19. And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilder- ness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I Only am escaped alone to tell thee. 20. Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down —g upon the ground, and worshipped. 21. And said, Naked came I Out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD. 22. In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. Job 2:9. Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity ? curse God, and die. 10. But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speak- eth. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips. Psa. 39:9. I was dumb, I opened not my mouth ; because thou didst it. Psa. 103:10. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to Our iniquities. Psa. 119:75.

The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying, 2. What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, Say- ing, The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge 2 3. As I live, saith the Lord GOD, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. 4. Behold, all Souls are mine ; as the soul of the father, so also the Soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die. 5. But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right, 6. And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstru- ous woman, 7. And hath not oppressed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment; 8. He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man, 9. Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he às just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD. 10. If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, and that doeth the like to any one of these things, 11. And that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbour's wife, 12. Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by vio- lence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination, 13. Hath given forth upon usury, and hath taken increase : shall he then live 3 he shall not live : he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die ; his blood shall be upon him. 14. Now, lo, ºf he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins which he hath done, and con- sidereth, and doeth not such like, 15. That hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neigh- bour's wife, 16. Neither hath oppressed any, hath not withholden the pledge, neither hath spoiled by violence, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment, 17. That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that hath not received usury nor increase, hath executed my judgments, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall Surely live. 18. As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, spoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is not good among his people, lo, even he shall die in his iniquity. 19. Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. 20. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the in- iquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteous- ness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. 21. But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him : in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 23. Have I 1149 RESPONSIBIT, TTY. — A CCORDING TO PRIVII FGF any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: &nd not that he should return from his ways, and live 2 24. But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked may, doeth, shall he live 3 All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned : in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die. 25. Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel: Is not my way equal % are not your ways unequal # 26. When a righteous 1/24/7 turn- eth away from his righteousness, and com- mitteth iniquity, and dieth in them ; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die. 27. Again, when the wicked many turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall Save his soul alive. 28. Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 29. Yet Saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal 2 are not your ways unequal & 30. Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn 4/070'selves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. Ezek. 33:1. Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2. Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and Say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watch- man : 3. If when he seeth the Sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people ; 4. Then whosoever hear- eth the Sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head. 5. He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning ; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul. 6. But if the watch- man See the Sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned ; if the Sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniq- uity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. 7. So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. 8. When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his in- iquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 9. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy Soul. 10. Therefore, O thou Son of man, Speak unto the house of Israel ; Thus ye speak, Saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live 7 11. Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked : but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel ? 12. Therefore, thou Son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression : as for the Wicked- ness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wicked- ness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he situneth. 13. When I shall say to the right- eous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remem- bered ; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it. 14. Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right ; 15. If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall Surely live, he shall not die. 16. None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him : he hath done that which is lawful and right: he shall surely live. 17. Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal. 18. When the righteous turneth from his righteous- ness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby. 19. But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby. Matt. 10:11. And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. 12. And when ye come into an house, salute it. 13. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it : but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Luke 9:5; 10:10–15. Matt. 11:20. Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not ; 21. Woe unto thee, Chorazin ' woe unto thee, BethSaida for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22. But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. 23. And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty 3 150 RESPONSIBILITY. —According To PRIVILEGE. works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have re- mained until this day. 24. But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee. - Matt. 12:41. The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemnit: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. 42. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it : for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon ; and, behold, a greater than Solomon as here. Luke 11:31,32. Matt. 23:31. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. 32. Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers. 33. Ye Serpents, ye generation of vipers, how | Can ye escape the damnation of hell? 34. Wherefore, behold, I send unto you proph- ets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and Some of them shall ye Scourge in your Synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: 35. That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Duke 11:49–51. - Matt. 25:14. For the kingdom of heaven. Żs as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. 16. Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the Same, and made them, other five talents. 17, And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. 18. But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. 19. After a long time the lord of those servants com- eth, and reckoneth with them. 20. And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five tal- ents: behold, I bave gained beside them five talents more. 21. His lord said unto him, Well done, thow good and faithful servant : thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 22. He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. 23. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faith- ful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 24. Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not Sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25. And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth : lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26. His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27. Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and they? at my coming I should have received mine Own with usury. 28. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 29. H'or unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30. And cast ye the unprofitable Servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Luke 19: 12–27. - Mark 6:11. And whosoever shall not re- ceive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I Say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judg- ment, than for that city. - * Luke 13:6. He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vine- yard; and he came and sought fruit there- On, and found none. 7. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? 8. And he an- swering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: 9. And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down. Luke 21:1. And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treas- ury. 2. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4. For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had. - John 3:18. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19. And this is the condem- nation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. - John 12:48. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. John 15:22. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin. 24. If I 1151 RESPONSIBILITY. RESURRECTION. had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. Acts 17:30. And the times of this igno- rance God winked at ; but now command- eth all men every where to repent : 31. Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteous- ness by that man whom he hath Ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all Amen, in that he hath raised him from the dead. Rom. 12:3. For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think sober- ly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. 6. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let was prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7. Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teach- ing; 8. Or he that exhorteth, on exhorta- tion: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. Eph. 4:7.

Man lieth down, and riseth not : till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. 13. O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! 14. If a man die, shall he live again 3 all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. 15. Thou shalt call, and I will an- Swer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands. Job 19:25. Iknow that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth : 26. And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: 27. Whom I shall See for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be con- Sumed within me. Psa. 16:9. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth : my flesh also shall rest in hope. 10. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thing Holy One to see corruption. Psa. 17:15. As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness. Psa. 49:15. God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive Iſle. - Isa. 25.8. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; Isa. 26:19. Thy dead men shall live, to- gether with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust : for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast Out the dead. Ezek. 37:1. The hand of the TORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, 2. And caused me to pass by them round about ; and, behold, there were very many in the open valley ; and, lo, they were very dry. 3. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live 3 And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest. 4. Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. 5. Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: 6. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live: and ye shall know that I am the LORD. 7. So I prophesied as I was com- manded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone. 8. And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them. 9. Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, Son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. 10. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army. 11. Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost : we are cut off for our parts. 12. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD ; Behold, O my people, I will Open your graves, and cause you to come up out of 1152 RESURRECTION. your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13. And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, 14. And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land : then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and per- formed it, saith the LORD. Dan. 12:2. Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to ever- lasting life, and some to shame and everlast- ing contempt. 3. And they that be wise shall Shine as the brightness of the firmament : and they that turn many to righteousness. as the stars for ever and ever. 13. GO thou thy way till the end be : for thou shall, rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days. HOS. 13:14. I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: Matt. 22:23. The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24. Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25. Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother : 26. Tikewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 27. And last of all the woman died also. 28. Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven 2 for they all had her. 29. Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30. For in the resur- rection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. 31. But as touching the resurrec- tion of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 32. I am the God of Abraham, and the God Of Isaac, and the God of Jacob Ž God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Mark 12:18–27; Luke 20:27–37. Matt. 24:31. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Matt. 25:1. Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them : 4. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh: go ye out to meet him. 7. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for Our lamps are gone out. , 9. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. , 10. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the mar- riage : and the door was shut. 11. After- Ward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, Open to us. 12. But he an- Swered and said, Verily I Say unto you, I know you not. 13. Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. Matt. 27:52. The graves were opened; and many bodies of the Saints which slept arose, 53. And Came-out of the graves—after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, aud appeared unto many. Luke 14:14. And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just. Luke 20:35. They which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the res- urrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: 36. Neither can they die any more : for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. 37. Now that the dead are raised, even Moses shewed at the bush, when he calleth the Lord the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. 38. For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living : for all live unto him. Matt. 22:30–32; Mark 12:25–27. John 5:21. As the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them : even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 25. Verily, verily, I Say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. 28. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, 29. And shall come forth ; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. John 6:39. This is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believ- eth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. 44. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him : and I will raise him up at the last day. 54. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. John 11:23. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. 24. Martha Saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 25. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: (73) 1153 RESURRECTION. John 14:19. Yet a little while, and the world Seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. Acts 2:26. Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope : 27. Because thou wilt not leave my Soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see cor- ruption. 28. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life ; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. 29. Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 30. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an Oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throme; 31. He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. ActS 4:1. The Captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, 2. Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. Acts 17:18. He preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection. 32. When they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again Of this matter. Acts 23:6. But when Paul perceived that the One part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and Urethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee : of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question. 8. For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrec- tion, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Phar- isees confess both. Acts 24:14. But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believ- ing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: 15. And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. Acts 26:6. I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God unto our fathers: 7. Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. 8. Why should it be thought a thingingredible with you, that God should raise the dead? Rom. 4:16. Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17. (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who Quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many na- tions, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the dead- ness of Sarah's womb : 20. He staggered not at the promise of God through unbe- lief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21. And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. Rom. 8:10. If Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mor- tal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 19. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 21. Because the crea- ture itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious lib- erty of the children of God. 22. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23. Not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within Ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of Our body. 1 Cor. 6:14. God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power. 1 Cor. 15:12. Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13. But if there be no resurrec- tion of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 14. And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 15. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ : whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. 16. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17. And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain: ye are yet in your sins. 18. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 19. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first- fruits of them that slept. 21. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 22. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 24. Then cometh the end, when he shall have deliv- ered up the kingdom to God, even the Fa- ther; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 27. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. 28. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, 1 154 RESURRECTION. then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all. 29. Else what Shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all ? why are they then baptized for the dead? 30. And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? 31. I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. 32. If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not ? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die. 35. But some Aman will say, How are the dead raised up 3. and with what body-do—they come?–36. Thou, fool, that which thou Sowest is not quickened, except it die: 37. And that which thou Sowest, thou SOWest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of Some other grain : 38. But God giveth it a body as it hath Flººd him, and to every Seed his own ody. 39. All flesh is not the same flesh : but there is one kind of flesh of men, an- other flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. 40. There are also celes- tial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 41. There is one glory of the Sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory, 42. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption : , 43. It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 44. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living Soul; the last Adam was made a Quickening spirit. 46. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spirit- ual. 47. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. 48. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump : for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53. For this cor- ruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal mºst put on immortality. 54. So when this corruptible shall have put on in- corruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55. O death, where is thy sting ? O grave, where is thy victory? 56. The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the vic tory through Our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Cor. 4:14. Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present his with you. 2 Cor. 5:1. For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be -clothed-upon with our house which is from- heaven: 3. If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 4. H'Or we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being bur. dened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 5. Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. |Phil. 3:10. That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fel lowship of his sufferings, being made con- formable unto his death; 11. If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 21. Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. 1 Thess. 4:14. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 16. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first : 2 Tim. 1:10. But is now made manifest by the appearing of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: 2 Tim. 2:18. Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already : and overthrow the faith of SOIYiê. Pſeb. 6:2. Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. Pſeb. 11:19. Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. 35. Women received their dead raised to life again : and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might ob- tain a better resurrection: Bev. 1:18. I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. Rev. 20:4. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them ; and I sant, the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, 11 55 RESURRECTION, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. 13. And the Sea, gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man ac- cording to their works.

Matt. 5:38. Ye have heard that it hath been Said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39. But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41. And whoso- ever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despite- fully use you, and persecute you; Matt. 7:1. Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. Luke 9:52. They went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. 53. And they did not receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 54. And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt; thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? 55. But he turned, and rebuked them, and Said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. 56. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to Save them. Rom. 12:17. Recompense to no man evil for evil. 19. Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 1 Cor. 6:7. Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer Ayourselves to be defrauded ? 8. Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. 1 Thess. 5:15. See that none render evil for evil unto any man, ; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 1.

IREWARD. A MOTIVE TO FAITH- FULNESS: Ex. 20:6. And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. 12. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Eph. 6:1–3. Lev. 25:18. Wherefore ye shall do my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in Safety. 19. And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety. Lev. 26:3. If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them ; 4. Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5. And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. 6. And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid : and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. 7. And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 8. And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hun- dred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 9. For I will have respect 1157 REWARD.—A MoTIVE To FAITHFULNESs. unto you, and make you fruitful, and mul- tiply you, and establish my covenant with you. 10. And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new. 11. And I will Set my tabernacle among you : and my soul shall not abhor you. 12. And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people. 13. I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. vs. 14–39. 40. If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me; 41. And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their ene- mies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the pun- ishment of their iniquity: 42. Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my Covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land. 43. The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her Sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punish- ment of their iniquity: because, even be- cause they despised my judgments, and be- cause their soul abhorred my statutes. 44. And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my cov- enant with them: for I am the LORD their God. 45. But I will for their sakes re- member the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD. Deut. 4:40. Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever. Deut. 6:3. Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. v. 18. Deut. 11:13. And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my com- mandments which I command you this day, to love the LOr... your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your Soul, 14. That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. 15. And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full. 16. Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them; 18. Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your Soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. 19. And ye shall teach them your children, Speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, When thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 20. And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and uponthy gates: 21. That your days may be multi- plied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth. 26. Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse ; 27. A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day: 28. And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known. 29. And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou Shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal, chapter 27:12–26; Josh. 8:33. Deut. 15:9. Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The sev- enth year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee. 10. Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto. 11. For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I Command thee, saying, Thou shalt Open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land. Deut. 22:7. But thou shalt in any wise let the dam go, and take the young to thee; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days. - Deut. 24:19. When thou Cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it : it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow : that the LORD thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands. Deut. 25:15. But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have : that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Isa. 1:16. Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17. Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. 1158 REWARD.—A MOTIVE TO FAITHFULNESS. 18. Come now, and let us reason together, Saith the LORD : though your Sins be as Scar- let, they shall be as white as Snow ; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20. But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. Isa. 3:10. Say ye to the righteous, that it 3hall be woll with him : for they shall eaf the fruit of their doings. Isa. 40:10. Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him ; behold, his reward is with him, and his work hefore him, 11. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. Jer. 22:3. Thus saith the LORD ; Execute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place. 4. For if ye do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, rid- ing in chariots and on horses, he, and his servants, and his people. Chapter 17:24–26. Matt, 10:32. Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. T.uke 12:8. Matt. 16:24. Then said Jesus unto his dis- ciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul ? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his Soul ? 27. For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Matt. 20:1. For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire la- bourers into his vineyard. 2. And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. 3. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market- place, 4. And said unto them; GO ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way. 5. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. 6. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and Saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle 2 7. They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive. 8. So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. 9. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny. 10. But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more ; and they like- wise received every man a penny. 11. And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, 12. Say- ing, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day. 13. But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong : didst not thou agree with me for a penny ? 14. Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. 15. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own 7 Is thine eye evil, because I am good? 16. So the last shall be first, and the first last : for many be called, but few chosen. Matt. 25:34. Then shall the King say unto them. On his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world : 35. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink : I was a stranger, and ye took me in : 36. Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37. Then shall the righteous an- Swer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and feed thee 3 or thirsty, and gave thee drink 2 38. When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in 2 or naked, and clothed thee? 39. Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee ? 40. And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I Say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42. For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat : I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink : 43. I was a stranger, and ye took me not in : naked, and ye clothed me not : sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44. Then shall they also answer him, saying, LOrd, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45. Then shall he an- swer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did iſ not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46. And these shall go away into everlasting punish- ment: but the righteous into life eternal. Mark 10:21. Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest : go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven : and come, take up the cross, and follow me, 1159 REWARD. RIBBAND. Mark 13:13. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's Sake : but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Luke 6:22. Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach yow, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake. 23. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your re- ward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets. 35. But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest : for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Acts 26:18. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Bom. 2:10. But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, 1 Cor. 3:8. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one : and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. Heb. 10:34. For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. 36. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. Heb. 11:26. Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recom- pence of the reward. Heb. 12:1. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is Set before us, 2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 28. Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 1 Pet. 3:9. Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwiseblessing: knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 10. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11. Tet him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. 2 Pet. 1:10. Wherefore the rather, breth- ren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11. For SO an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Rev. 2:10. Fear none of those things which thou shalt Suffer: . . . and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. 17. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit Saith unto the churches; To him that Overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. 25. But that which ye have already, hold fast till I come. 26. And he that overcom- eth, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 27, And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. 28. And I will give him the morning star. Rev. 7:14. These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 16. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. 17. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Rev. 22:12. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews. 2. For there were that Said, We, Our Sons, and Our daughters, are many: therefore we take up corn for them, that we may eat, and live. 3. Some also there were that said, 'We have mortgaged our lands, vineyards, and houses, that we might buy corn, because of the dearth. 4. There were also that said, We have borrowed money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands and vine- yards. 5. Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of Our brethren, Our children as their chil- dren: and, lo, we bring into bondage our Sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought unto bondage already: neither is it in our power to redeem them; for other men have our lands and vineyards. 6. And I was very angry when I heard their cry and these words. 7. Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every one of his brother. And I set a great assem- bly against them. 8. And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed Our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen ; and will ye even sell your brethren? Or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found noth- ing to answer. 9. Also I said, It is not good that ye do: Ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies? 10. I likewise, and my brethren, and my Servants, might exact of them money and corn : I pray you, let us leave off this usury. 11...Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them. 12. Then said they, We will restore them, and will require nothing of them ; so will we do as thou Sayest. Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this prom- ise. 13. Also I shook my lap, and said, So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise, even thus be he shaken out, and emptied. And all the congregation Said, Amen, and praised the LORD. And the peo- ple did according to this promise. Job 21:7. Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power ? 8. Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes. 9. Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them. 10. Their bull gendereth, and faileth not ; their cow calv- eth, and casteth not her calf. 11. They Send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance. 12. They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the or- gan. , 13. They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. 14. Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. 15. What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have if we pray unto him ; Job 27:13. This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppress- ors, which they shall receive of the Al- mighty. 14. If his children be multiplied, Čt is for the Sword: and his offspring shall not be Satisfied with bread. 15. Those that remain of him shall be buried in death ; and his widows shall not weep. 16. Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare rai- ment as the clay; 17. He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. 18. He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh. 19. The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not. 20. Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest steal- eth him away in the night. 21. The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place. 22. For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand. 23. Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place. Job 31:24. If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence ; 25. If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much ; 28. This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge : for I should have denied the God that is above. Psa. 49:16. Be not thou afraid when One is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased ; 17. For when he dieth-he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not de- scend after him. 18. Though while he lived he blessed his soul: Psa. 52:1. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually. 2. Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, work- ing deceitfully. 3. Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. . 4. Thou lovest all devour- ing words, O thout deceitful tongue. 5. God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. 6. The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him : 7. LO, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. Psa. 73:3. For I was envious at the fool. ish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. 4. For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. 5. They 116] . . RICH. are not in trouble as other men ; neither are they plagued like other men. 6. Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment. 7. Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. 8. They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily. 9. They Set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. 10. Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung Out to them. 11. And they say, How doth God know 2 and is there knowledge in the most High 7 12. Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches. 13. Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency. 14. Eor all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. 15. If I say, I will speak thus: behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children. 16. When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me; 17. Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end. 18. Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction. 19. How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment they are utterly consumed with terrors. 20. As a dream when one awaketh ; so, O TOrd, when thou awakest; thou shalt despise their image. 21. Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. 22. So fool- ish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. Prov. 14:20. The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends. Prov. 18:11. The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit. 23. The poor useth intreaties; but the rich answereth roughly. Prov. 28:11. The rich man is wise in his Own conceit ; but the poor that hath under- standing searcheth him out. Eccl. 5:13. There is a sore evil which I have seen under the Sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt. 14. But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand. 19. Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God. 20. For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart. Jer. 5:7. How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adul- tery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses. 8. They were as fed horses in the morning : every One neighed after his neighbour's wife. 9. Shall I not visit for these things & Saith the LORD : and shall not my Soul be avenged on such a na- tion as this? - 27. As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore they are be- come great, and waxen rich. 28. They are Waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked : they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. 29. Shall I not visit for these things & Saith the LORD : shall not my soul be avenged on Such a nation as this ? Jer. 9:23. Thus saith the LORD, . . . let not the rich man glory in his riches: Jer. 17:11. As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool. Jer. 22:13. Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his chambers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's serv- ice without wages, and giveth him not for his work ; 14. That saith, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cutteth him out windows; and it is cieled with ce- dar, and painted with vermilion. 15. Shalt thou reign, because thou closest thyself in cedar 3 did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and then it was well with him ? 16. He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him : was not this to know me? saith the LORD. 17. But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy coveteousness, and for to shed innocent blood, and for oppression, and for violence, to do it. 18. Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah; They shall not lament for him, saying, Ah my brotherl Or, Ah sister! they shall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord l or, Ah his glory ! 19. He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, drawn and cast forth beyond the gates of Jerusalem. Ezek. 7:19. They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD : they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity. Zeph. 1:18. --- Ezek. 28:5. By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches: Amos 6:1. Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came ! 2. Passye unto Calneh, and See; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great : then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? Or their border greater than your border? 3. Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near; 4. That lie upon beds of 1162 RICH. ss=– ivory, and stretch themselves upon their Couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall; 5. That chant to the Sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of music, like David; 6. That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief oint- ments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph. Mic. 6:12. For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is de- ceitful in their mouth. - Zeph. 1:18. Neither their silver nor their gold slall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD's wrath ; Matt, 19:24. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. v. 23; Luke 18:24,25. Mark 10:17. And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Mas- ter, what shall I do that I may inherit eter- nal life?, 18. And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is nome good but one, that is, God. 19. Thou knowest the Commandments, Do not commit adultery, T}o not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. 20. And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. 21. Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell what- SOever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 22. And he was Sad at that Saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. [Tuke 18:22–26.] 23. And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! [Matt. 19:23.] 24. And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God l 25. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the king- dom of God. 26. And they were astonished Out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved ?. 27. And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. Luke 6:24. Woe unto you that are rich for ye have received your consolation. 25. Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Luke 12:15. And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16. And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17. And he thought within him- Self, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18. And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry, 20. But God said unto him, Thomſ fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided ?. 21. So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward Cod. Luke 16:13. No servant can serve fºwn masters: ſor either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the One, and despise the other. Ye cannot Serve God and mammon. 14. And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. 19. There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared Sumptuously every day: 20. And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21. And de- siring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his Sores. 22. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom : the rich man also died, and was buried; 23. And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and Seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24. And he cried and Said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: So that they which would pass from hence to you cannot ; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 1 Tim. 6:17. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the liv- ing God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 18. That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, will- ing to communicate; 19. Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. Jas. 1:9. Det the brother of low degree re- joice in that he is exalted : 10. But the rich, in that he is made low : because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away. 11. P'or the sun is no sooner risen with a burn- ing heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. Jas. 5:1. Go to now, ye rich men, weep and l 163 RICH. EICHES. howl for your miseries that shall come up- on you. 2. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 3. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. See RICHES.

And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not, 11. And houses full of all good things, whichthoufilledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not : when thou shalt have eaten and be full; 12. Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. Deut. 8:10. When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. 11. Beware that thou forget not the IORD thy God, in not keeping his command- ments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: 12. Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt there?n 13. And when thy herds and thy flocks multi- ply, and thy silver and thy gold is multi- plied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; 14. Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; 15. Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint ; 16. Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end; 17. And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. 18. But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers as it is this day. Deut. 31:20. For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat ; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant. Deut. 32:15. But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his Salvation. 1 Sam. 2:7. The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich : he bringeth low, and lift- eth up. Psa. 37:16. A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. Prov. 10:2. Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: 22. The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no Sorrow with it. Prov. 11:4. Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death. 28. He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: Prov. 13:7. There is that maketh him- Self rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches. 8. The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke. Prov. 14:24. The Crown of the wise is their riches: Prov. 15:6. In the house of the righteous 7s much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble. 16. Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treas- ure and trouble there with. 17. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled Ox and hatred there with. Prov. 16:8. Better is a little with right- eousness than great revenues without right. Prov. 19:4. Wealth maketh many friends; §. the poor is separated from his neigh- OUII’. Prov. 21:6. The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death. Prov. 23:4. Tabour laot to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. 5. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not ? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. Prov. 27:23. Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. 24. For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? Prov. 28:8. He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor. 20. A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent. 22. He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him. Prov. 30:8. Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me: 9. Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain. Eccl. 5:9. Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field. 10. He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also van- ity. 11. When goods increase, they are in- creased that eat them : and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the be- holding of them with their eyes? 12. The 1164 RICHIES. sleep of a labouring man is Sweet, whether he eat little or much : but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. 13. There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt. 14. But those riches perish by evil travail: and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand. 15. As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand. 16. And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind § 17. All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he hat/, much sorrow and wrath with his sickness. 18. Behold that which I have seen : it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him : for it is his portion. 19. Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour; this is the gift of God. 20. For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy Of his heart. Eccl. 6:1. There is an evil which I have Seen under the sun, and it is common among men: 2. A man to whom GOd hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he want- eth nothing for his soul of all that he desir- eth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it : this is van- ity, and it is an evil disease. Eccl. 7:11. Wisdom is good with an inher- itance: and by it there is profit to them that See the Sun. 12. For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. Eccl. 10:19. A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money an- swereth all things. - Isa. 5:8. Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth’ ſ Jer, 48:36. Therefore mine heart shall Sound for Moab like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir- heres: because the riches that he hath got- ten are perished. Hos. 12:8. And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: Žn all my labours they shall find none iniq- uity in me that were sin. Matt.6:19. Tay not up for yourselvestreas- ures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal; 20. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not breakthrough nor steal: 21. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matt, 13:22. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word and he becometh unfruitful. Matt. 19:16. And, behold, one came and Said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17. And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18. He Saith unto him, Which Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not Commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19. Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 20. The young man Saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up ; what lack Iyet' 21. Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sor- rowful: for he had great possessions. 23. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Ver- ily I Say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. 24. And again I Say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 25. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved ?. 26. But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible ; but with God all things are possible. 27. Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore ? 28. And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regenera- tion when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29. And every one that hath for- saken houses, or brethren, or sisters, Or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. Mark 10:17–25; Luke 18:18--25. Mark 4:19. And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful. Luke 12:15. And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 1 Tim. 6:4. He is proud, . . . 5. . . . Sup- posing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 6. But godliness with con- tentment is great gain. 7. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8. And having food and raiment let us be there with content. 1165 RICHES. RIGHT FOUS. 9. But they that will be rich fall into tempta- tion and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruc- tion and perdition. 10. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many Sorrows. 11. But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, pa- tience, meekness. 17. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high- minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy ; 18. That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate ; 19. Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. Jas. 2:6. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? 7. Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? Jas. 5:1. Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon yov. 2. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. 3. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. 4. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. 5. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 1 John 3:17. But whoSO hath this world's good, and Seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? FIGURATIVE: Rev. 3:18.

For wherein Shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? So shall we be sepa- rated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. 1 Sam. 13:14. But now thy kingdom shall not continue : the LORD hath sought him. a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee. Ezra 10:3. Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, ac- cording to the counsel of my lord, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; IPsa. 1:1. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2. But his de- light is in the law of the LORD ; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. & - Psa. 4:3. But know that the TORD hath Set apart him that is godly for himself: Psa. 15:1. LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? .2. He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. 3. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his l 166 RIGHTEOUS.–DESCRIBED. neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. 4. In whose eyes a vile person is contemned; but he honoureth them that fear the LORD. He that swear- eth to his own hurt, and changeth not. 5. He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. Psa. 24:3. Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place : 4. He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his sal- vation. |Psa. 37:26. He is ever merciful, and lend- eth; and his seed is blessed. 30. The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. 31. The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. Psa. 64:10. The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him ; and all the upright in heart shall glory. Psa. 84:7. They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion ap- peareth before God. |Psa. 87:5. Of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. 6. The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this mayº was born there. Psa. 112:1. Blessed is the man that fear- eth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. 2. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. 3. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his right- eousness endureth for ever. 4. Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 5. A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth : he will guide his affairs with discretion. 6. Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in ever- lasting remembrance. 7. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD. , 8. His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies. 9. He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. 10. The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish. Tºsa. 119:1. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. 2. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. 3. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. Prov. 2:9. Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; gea, every good path. 10. When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul: 11. Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: 12. To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speak- eth froward things; Prov. 4:18. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Prov. 13:5. A righteous man hateth lying: Prov. 25:26. A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt Spring. Isa. 33:15. He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shut- teth his eyes from seeing evil; , 16. He shall dwell on high : his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him ; his waters shall be sure. Isa. 51:1. Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD : Isa. 54:13. And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD ; and great shall be the peace of thy children. Isa. 60:21. Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. Isa. 62:12. And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD : and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken. Isa. 63:8. For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour. Jer. 31:12. Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden ; and they shall not Sorrow any more at all. 13. Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will com- fort them, and make them rejoice from their Sorrow. 14. And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD. 33. After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34. And they shall teach no more every man his neigh- bour, and every man his brother, Saying, |Know the LORD : for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD : for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Ezek. 18:5. But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right, 6. And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neigh- bour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman, 7. And hath not Op- pressed any, but hath restored to the debtor 1167 * * * RIGHTEOUS.–DESCRIBED. his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment; 8. He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between man and man, 9. Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my judgments, to deal truly; he is just, he shall surely live, Saith the Lord GOD. Ezek. 44:9. Thus saith the Lord GOD ; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor un- circumcised in flesh, shall enter into my Sanctuary, of any Stranger that is among the children of Israel. Zech. 3:2. The LORD rebuke thee, O Sa- tan ; even the LORD that hath chosen Jeru- Salem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire ? 7. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by. 8. Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee : for they are men wondered at : Matt. 5:3. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for their's is the kingdom of heaven. 4. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5. Blessed Cºre the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after right- eousness: for they shall be filled. 7. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8. Blessed are the pure in heart : for they shall see God. 9. Blessed are the peace- makers: for they shall be called the chil- dren of God. 10. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for their's is the kingdom of heaven. 13. Ye are the Salt of the earth: but if the Salt have lost his savour, where with shall it be Salted ? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast Out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14. Yeare the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16. Let your light So shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matt. 7:16. Ye shall know them by their fruits. T)0 men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17. Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 24. Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25. And the rain de- Scended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not : for it was founded upon a rock. 26. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the Sand: 27. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Matt. 12:50. For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the Same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Matt. 13:23. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, Some sixty, some thirty. 38. The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom ; but the tares are the children of the wicked one ; Luke 6:45. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; . . . for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Luke 18:16. But Jesuscalled them wºn to him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not : for of such is the kingdom of God. 17. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the king- dom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. Matt. 19:14; Mark 10:14,15. John 3:21. He that doeth truth Conneth to the light, that his deeds may be made man- ifest, that they are wrought in God. John 8:31. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32. And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 39. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 42. If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; 47. He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. John 10:4. And when he putteth forth his Own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him : for they know not the voice of strangers. 27. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow IYle : John 13:35. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 15:14. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Acts 2:38. Then Peter said unto them, Re- pent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 47. The Tord added to the church daily such as should be saved. Acts 8:36. The eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized ? 1168 RIGHTEOUS.–DESCRIBED. 37. And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he an- swered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Acts 10:47. Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as We 3 Acts 11:23. Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and ex- horted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord. 24. For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord. Acts 18:7. Aud he deparled thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. 8. And Crispus, the chief ruler of the Synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing be- lieved, and were baptized. Rom. 1:6. Among whom are ye also the Called of Jesus Christ : 7. To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be Saints: Rom. 6:1. What shall we say then 2 Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound 7 2. God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein # 3. Know ye not, that SO many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death ? 4. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even So we also should walk in newness of life. 5. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resur- rection: 6. Knowing this, that Our Old man is crucified with %im, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7. For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him : 9. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more ; death hath no more dominion over him. 10. |For in that he died, he died unto sin once : but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11. Dikewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ Our Lord. 12. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13. Neither yield ye your members as in- struments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14. For sin shall not have dominion Over you : for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15. What then 2 shall we sin, be- cause we are not under the law, but under grace º God forbid. 16. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey ; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? 17. But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 18. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. 19. I speak after the man- ner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh : for as ye have yielded your members Servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even SO now yield your members Servants to righteousness unto holiness. 20. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 21. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed 8 for the cnd of those things is death. 22. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23. For the wages of sin is death ; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 8:5. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. 6. For to be carnally minded 7s death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 9. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 14. As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 29. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ' shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword 3 36. As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long ; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us... 38. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other crea- ture, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom. 9:8. The children of the promise are counted for the seed. Rom. 15:14. I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish One another. Rom. 16:19. For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. 1 Cor. 1:2. Them that are Sanctified in (74) 1169 RIGHTEOUS..—DESCRIBED. Christ Jesus, called to be Saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both their's and our's: 26. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 30. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and right- eousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 1 COr. 2:12. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing Spiritual things with spiritual. 1 Cor. 6:9. Know ye not that the unright- eous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10. Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunk- ards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall in- herit the kingdom of God. 11. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit Of Our God. 1 Cor. 15:48. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heav- enly. 49. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 2 Cor. 1:12. For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in sim- plicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward. 2 Cor. 4:1. Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not ; 2. But have renounced the hid- den things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God de- ceitfully ; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's con- Science in the sight of God. 2 Cor. 5:17. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 21. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Gal. 5:22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23. Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. , 24. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26. Tet us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying One another. Eph. 1:1. Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Je- sus: 4. According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5. Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6. To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7. In whom we have re- demption through his blood, the forgive- ness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; s Eph. 2:1. And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 4. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love where with he loved us, 5. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us to- gether with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6. And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 10. For we are his workman- ship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before Ordained that we should walk in them. 13. But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14. For he is our peace, who hath made both One, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us : 19. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the Saints, and of the household of God; 20. And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21. In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy tem- ple in the Lord: 22. In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. Eph. 3:17. That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18. May be able to com- prehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height: 19. And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Eph. 4:13. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ : 14. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15. But speak- ing the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16. From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, mak- eth increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. 22. That ye put off con- cerning the former conversation the old 1170 RIGHTEOUS.–I).ESCRIBED. man, which is corrupt according to the de- ceitful lusts; 23. And be renewed in the Spirit of your mind; 24. And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 25. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members One of another. 26. Be ye angry, and sin not : let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27. Neither give place to the devil. 28. Let him that stole steal no more : but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are Sealed unto the day of redemption. 31. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32. And be ye kind One to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Eph. 5:8. For ye were sometimes dark- ness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: Phil. 2:15. That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse na- tion, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; - Phil. 3:3. For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 7. But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9. And be found in him, not having mine own right- eOuSneSS, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10. That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his Sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11. If by any means I might at- tain unto the resurrection of the dead. Phil. 4:8. Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Col. 1:9. For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding: 10. That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowl- 29. Let edge of God; 11. Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyful- ness; 12. Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the Saints in light: 13. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: - Col. 2:7. Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiv- Ing. * Col. 3:3. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in GOd. 1 Thess. 1:3. Remembering without ceas- ing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 1 Thess. 5:4. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 27. I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren. 2 Tim. 2:19. Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 21. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, Sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. , 22. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow right- eousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 23. But foolish and unlearned Questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 24. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25. In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; Philem. 5. Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all Saints; 6. That the communica- tion of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. - Heb. 3:1. Holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, 6. But Christ . . . whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. 1 Pet. 2:5. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priest- hood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, accept- able to God by Jesus Christ. 9. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10. Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 1 Pet. 4:1. Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm your- selves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased 1171 RIGHTEOUS.–PROMISES TO, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. from sin; 2. That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 2 Pet. 1:1. Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and Our Saviour Jesus Christ : 1 John 2:3. And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his command- ments. 5. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6. He that Saith he abideth in him ought him- Self also so to walk, even as he walked. 12. I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's Sake. 13. I write unto you, fathers, be- cause ye have known him that is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father. 14. I have writ- ten unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men, because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have Overcome the wicked one. 15. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. 1 John 3:2. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him ; for we shall See him as he is. 3. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 6. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not : 7. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 9. Who- soever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him : and he can- not sin, because he is born of God. 14. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 18. My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 1 John 4:7. Beloved, let us love one an- other: for love is of God; and every one § loveth is born of God, and knoweth OCl. 1 John 5:1. Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. 2 John 9. He that abideth in the doctrine g Christ, he hath both the Father and the OIl. Rev. 1:6. And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; Rev. 14:4. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were re- deemed from among men, being the first- fruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. Rev. 17:14. He is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. See WICKED, DESCRIBED. PROMISES TO, EXPRESSED OR IM. PLIED: Gen. 15:1.

In blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy Seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy Seed shall pOSSess the gate of his enemies; Ex. 23:22. But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. Lev. 26:5. And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. 6. And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make gow afraid : and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. 10. And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the IlêW. Deut. 28:1. And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I com- mand thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth : 2. And all these blessings shall come on thee, and Overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God. 3. Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. 4. Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 5. Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store. 6. Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out. 7. The LORD shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten be- fore thy face : they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways. 8. The LORD shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto ; and he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 9. The LORD shall establish thee an holy people unto him- self, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways. 10. And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the LORD ; and they shall be afraid of thee. 11. And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, 1172 RIGHTEOUS.–PROMISES TO, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee. 12. The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. 13. And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath ; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them : Deut. 33:27. The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from be- fore thee; and shall say, Destroy them. 1 Sam. 2:9.

To set up on high those that be low ; that those which mourn may be ex- alted to safety. 12. He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. 13. He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried head- long. 14. They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night. 15. But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. 16. So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth. 17. Behold, happy is the man whom God cor- recteth : therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: 18. For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole, 19. He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 20. In fam- ine he shall redeem thee from death ; and in war from the power of the sword. 21. Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. 22. At de- struction and famine thou shalt laugh : nei- ther shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. 23. For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field : and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. 24. And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. 25. Thou shalt know also that thy Seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. 26. Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his Season. 27. LO this, we have searched it, SO it is ; hear it, and know thou it forthy good. Job 8:4. If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression; 5. If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy Sup- plication to the Almighty ; 6. If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. 7. Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase. 20. Behold, God will not cast away a per- fect man, neither will he help the evil doers: 21. Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing. Job 11:15. For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot ; yea, thou shalt be sted- fast, and shalt not fear: 16. Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away : 17. And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday ; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morn- ing. 18. And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou Shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety. 19. Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee. 20. But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost. Job 22:21. Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. 22. Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. 23. If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy taber- nacles. 24. Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. 25. Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. 26. For then shalt thou have thy de- light in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. 27. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. . 28. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be es- tablished unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. 29. When men are cast down, then thou shalt Say, There is lifting up ; and he shall save the humble person. 30. He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pure- ness of thine hands. Job 36:7. He withdraweth Inot his eyes from the righteous: but with kings gre they on the throne : yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. 8. And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction: 9. Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded. 10. He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity, 11. If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleas: urès. 12. But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. 1173 RIGHTEOUS.–PROMISES TO, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. Psa. 4:3.

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust : histruth shall be thy shield and buck- ler. 5. Thou shalt not be afraid for the ter- ror by night ; avor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6. Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruc- tion that wasteth at noonday. 7. A thou- sand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 9. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation: 10. There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling, 11. For he shall give his angels charge Over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Psa. 94:17. Unless the LORD had been my help, my Soul had almost dwelt in silence. 18. When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. Psa. 97:10. He preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. 11. Light is sown for the right- eous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Psa. 111:5.

Psa. 121:3. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved : he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5. The IORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 8. The TORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. Psa. 125:1. They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, bºtt abideth for ever. 2. As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, SO the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever, 3. For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put forth their hands unto iniquity. Psa. 128:1. Blessed is every one that fear- eth the LORD ; that walketh in his ways. 2. For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee. 3. Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy chil- dren like olive plants round about thy table. 4. Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD. 5. The LORD shall bless thee Out of Zion : and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. 6. Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel. Psa. 145:18. The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call up- on him in truth. 19. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him : he also will hear their cry, and will save them. 20. The LORD preserveth all them that love him : but all the wicked will he destroy. 21. My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD : and let allflesh bless his holy name for ever and ever. Prov. 1:33. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil. Prov. 2:21. The upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. Prov. 3:1. My Son, forget not my law ; but let thine heart keep my command- ments: . 2. For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee. 3. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart: 4. So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man. 5. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart : and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the T.ORD, and depart from evil. 8. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones. 9. Honour the LORD with thy sub- stance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 10. So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine. 25. Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. 26. For the LORD shall be thy con- fidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. Prov. 10:3. The TORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish : but he cast- eth away the substance of the wicked. Prov. 12:2. A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD : Prov. 14:26.

And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and Smoke by day, and the Shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence. 6. And there shall be a taber- nacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain. Isa. 11:6. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together ; and a little child shall lead them. 7. And the cow and the bear shall feed ; their young Ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the Ox. 8. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cock- atrice' den. 9. They shall not hurt nor de- stroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the Sea. Isa. 25:8.

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd : he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. 29. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 31. But they that wait upon the LORD shall re- new their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isa. 41:10. Fear thou not ; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 11.

Isa. 50:7. For the Lord GOD will help me; therefore shall I not be confounded: there- fore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed. 8.

Neither let the Son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly Separated me from his people : neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am, a dry tree. 4. |For thus Saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant ; 5. Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of Sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. 6. Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the Sabbath from pollut- ing it, and taketh hold of my covenant ; 7. Even them will I bring to my holy moun- tain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sac- rifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. 8. The Lord GOD which gathereth the Outcasts of Israel Saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him. Isa. 57:1. The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come. 2. He shall enter into peace : they shall rest in their beds, each one walk- ing in his uprightness. Isa. 58:8. Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteous- ness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. 9. Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer ; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity ; 10. And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul: then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon- day : 11. And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and Satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. 12. And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many genera- tions; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. 13. If thou turn away thy foot from the Sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sab- bath a delight, the holy of the LORD, hon- ourable ; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: 14. Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD ; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. Isa. 59:20. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. 21. As for me, this is my covenant with them, Saith the LORD ; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor Out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, Saith the LORD, from henceforth and for €V€I". Isa. 64:4. For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. Isa. 65:13. Therefore thus Saith the LOrd GOD, Behold, my servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry : behold, my servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed: 14. Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for Sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexa- tion of spirit. 17. For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. 18. But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create : for, behold, I create Jeru- Salem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. 19. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. 20. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundred years old; but the sinner being an hundred years old shall be accursed. 21. And they shall build houses, and inhabit them ; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. 22. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat : for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands. 23. They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for trouble ; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them. 24. And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. 25. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock : and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, Saith the LORD. Isa. 66:13. As one whom his mother com- forteth, so will I comfort you ; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. 14. And when ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants, and his indignation toward his enemies. 1177 RIGHTEOUS.–PROMISES TO, ExPRESSED OR IMPLIED. Jer. 17:7. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat com- eth, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, nei- ther shall cease from yielding fruit. Ezek. 18:5. But if a man be just, and do that which is lawful and right, 6. And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbour's wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman, 7. And hath not opposed any, but hath restored to the debtor his pledge, hath spoiled none by violence, hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment ; 8. He that hath not given forth upon usury, neither hath taken any increase, that hath withdrawn his hand from iniquity, hath ex- ecuted true judgment between man and man, 9. Hath walked in my statutes, and hath kept my jº to deal truly ; he Čs just, he shall surely live, saith the Lord GOD. 19. Yet say ye, Why? doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father ? When the son hath done that which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done them, he shall surely live. 20. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son : the righteousness of the right- eous shall be upon him, and the wicked- ness of the wicked shall be upon him. Ezek. 34:11. For thus Saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I, every I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. 12. As a Shep- herd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered ; so will I Seek out my sheep, and will de- liver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. 13. And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel by the rivers, and in all the inhab- ited places of the country. 14. I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the moun- tains of Israel. 15. I will feed my flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord GOD. 16. I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong : I will feed them with judgment. 17. And as for you, O my flock, thus said the Lord GOD: Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, be- tween the rams and the he goats. 22. Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. 23. And I will set up one shepherd Over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David ; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. 24. And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them ; I the LORD have spoken it. 25. And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land : and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods. 26. And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season : there shall be showers of blessing. 27. And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be Safe in their land, and shall know that I am the LORD, when I have broken the bands of their yoke, and delivered them, out of the hand of those that served them- selves of them. 28. And they shall no more be a prey to the heathen, neither shall the beast of the land devour them ; but they shall dwell Safely, and none shall make them. afraid. 29. And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. 30. Thus shall they know that I the LORD their God am with them, and that they, even the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord GOD. 31. And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am? your God, saith the Lord GOD. Dan. 12:1. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people : and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that Same time : and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. 2. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and Some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. Hos. 6:3. Then shall we know, if we fol- low on to know the LORD : his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth. Nah. 1:7. The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. Hag. 1:13.

Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD ; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest ; and be strong, all ye people of the land, Saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, Saith 11.78 RIGHTEOUS.–PROMISES TO, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. the LORD of hosts: 5. According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came Out of Egypt, So my Spirit remaineth among you : fear ye not. Zech. 3:7. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by. Mal. 3:16. Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another : and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of re- membrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. 17. And they shall be mine, Saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his Own Son that serveth him. 18. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wick- ed, between him that serveth God and him that Serveth him not. Mal. 4:2. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 3. And ye shall tread down the wicked ; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. Matt. 5:3.

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for SO persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Matt. 7:7.

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing 7 and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. 32. Whosoever therefore shall Confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. Matt. 13:43. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Matt. 18:10. Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. 19.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Matt. 24:21.

That the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom : the rich man also died, and was buried; 23. And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and Seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25. But Abraham said, Son, re- member that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. Luke 18:29. And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake, 30. Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. Luke 20:35. But they which shall be ac- counted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither mar- ry, nor are given in marriage: 36. Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection. Luke 21:18. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. 27. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28. And when these things be- gin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draw- eth nigh. Luke 22:29. I appoint unto you a king- dom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; 30. That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Luke 23:43. Jesus said unto him, Verily I Say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. John 3:15. That whosoever believeth in #. should not perish, but have eternal II62. 16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world ; but that the world through him might be saved. 18. He that believeth on him is not con- demned: but he that believeth not is con- demned already, because he hath not be- lieved in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 36. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: John 4:14. But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst : but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 5:24. He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath ever- lasting life, and shall not come into con- tºnation; but is passed from death unto 1T63. 29. And shall come forth : they that have doue good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrec- tion of damnation. John 6:39. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every One which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting º and I will raise him up at the last ay. John 8:12. Then spake Jesus again unto them, Saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in dark- 1180 RIGHTEOUS.–PROMISES TO, ExPRESSED OR IMPLIED. ness, but shall have the light of life. 51. Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never See death. John 9:31. Now we know that God hear- eth not sinners: but if any man be a wor- shipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. John 10:27. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28. And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all ; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. John 12:25. He that loveth his life shall lose it ; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be : if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. John 13:36. Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now ; but thou shalt follow me afterwards. John 14:1. Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2. In my Father's house are many mansions: if Žt were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 12. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do: because I go unto my Father. 13. And whatsoever yeshall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glori- fied in the Son. 14. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. - 15. If ye love me, keep my command- ments. 16. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17. Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him ; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. 18. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 19. Yet a little while, and the world Seeth me no more ; but ye See me: because I live, ye shall live also. 20. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Rather, and ye in me, and I in you. 21. |He that hath my commandments, and keep- eth them, he it is that loveth me : and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest my- self to him. 23. If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. John 16:33. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. smºº-ºº John 17:2. As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 22. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are One : 24. Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am ; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. Acts 10:4. And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God. 31. And said, Cor- nelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms tº a had in remembrance in the sight of OCl. Acts 20:32. And now, brethren, I com- mend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. Acts 26:18. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Rom, 2:7. To them who by patient con- tinuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life : 10. But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile : Rom. 5:9. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being rec- onciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11. And not only so, but we also joy in God through Our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement. 17. They which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. Rom. 6:22. Being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. 23. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Rom. 8:14. As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15. For ye have not received the spirit of bond- age again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16. The Spirit itself beareth wit- ness with our spirit. that we are the chil- dren of God: 17. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with /.2777, that we may be also glorified together. 18. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be com- pared with the glory which shall be revealed 11] U1S. 28. And we know that all things work 1181 RIGHTEOUS.–PROMISES TO, ExPRESSED OR IMPLIED. together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 32. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things 3 33. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect 2 It is God that justifieth. 34. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for uS. 35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ' shall tribulation, or distress, or per- secution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword ž 36. As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long ; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, norangels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other crea- ture, shall be able to separate us from the #. of God, which is in Christ Jesus our LOrd. Rom. 9:33. Behold, I lay in Sion a stum- blingstone and rock of offence: and whoSO- ever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Rom. 10:9. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 11. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believ- eth on him shall not be ashamed. 12. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord Over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Tord shall be saved. Rom. 13:11. Knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our Salvation nearer than when we believed. 1 Cor. 1:8. Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9. God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Cor. 2:9. Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath pre- pared for them that love him. 1 Cor. 3:21. Let no man glory in men. For all things are your's; 22. Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's; 23. And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. 1 Cor. 6:2. Do ye not know that the Saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3. Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 1 Cor. 8:3. But if any man love God, the Same is known of him. 1 Cor. 13:10. When that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12. For now we See through a glass, darkly ; but then face to face : now I know in part ; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 1 Cor. 15:48. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy : and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heav- enly. 49. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 50. Now this I say, breth- ren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 51. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump : for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall bechanged. 53. For this corruptible must put on incor- ruption, and this mortal must put on im- mortality. 54. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is writ- ten, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55. O death, where is thy sting º O grave, where 7s thy victory $ 56. The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through Our flord Jesus Christ. 2 Cor. 1:20. All the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. 21. Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 22. Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. 2 Cor. 4:14. Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanks- giving of many redound to the glory of God. 17. Our light affliction, which is but for a mo- ment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory : 2 Cor. 7:1. Having therefore these prom- ises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Gal. 3:29. If ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Gal. 6:8. He that Soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that Soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9. And let us not be weary in well doing : for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Eph. 1:18. That ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, Eph. 2:7. That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his 1182 RIGHTEOUS.–PROMISES TO, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. Eph. 6:8. Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he re- º of the Lord, whether he be bond or IT'Gé. Phil. 4:7. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 19. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Col. 1:5. The hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel; 12. Giv- ing thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inherit- ance of the Saints in light: Col. 3:4. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. 24. Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inherit- ance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. 1 Thess. 2:12. That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his king- dom and glory. 1 Thess. 3:12. And the Tord make you to increase and abound in love one toward an- Other, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: 13. To the end he may stab- lish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ with all his Saints. 1 Thess. 4:15. For this we say unto you by the word of the Tord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16. For the Lord himself shall de- scend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first : 17. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18. Wherefore comfort One another with these words. 1 Thess. 5:9. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain Salvation by our Dord Jesus Christ, 10. Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 11. Wherefore com- fort yourselves together, and edify one an- other, even as also ye do. 2 Thess. 1:5. Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: Žs a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7. And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heav- en with his mighty angels. 2 Thess. 2:13. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren be- loved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to Salvation through Sanctification of the Spirit and be- 6. Seeing it. lief of the truth: 14. Whereunto he called you by Our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Tim. 1:16. Howbeit for this cause I ob- tained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter be- lieve on him to life everlasting. 1 Tim. 4:8. For bodily exercise profiteth little : but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 2 Tim. 1:12. I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day. 2 Tim. 2:10. Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also ob- tain the Salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11. It is a faithful say- ing: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him : 12. If we suffer, we shall also reign with him : if we deny him, he also will deny us: 19. Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this Seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Tet every one that nameth the name of Christ depart frominiquity. 2 Tim. 4:8. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. Tit. 2:11. For the grace of God that bring- eth Salvation hath appeared to all men, 12. Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, right- eously, and godly, in this present world; 13. DOOking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ ; 14. Who gave him- self for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a pe- culiar people, zealous of good works. Tit. 3:7. That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. Heb. 1:14. Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of Salvation? Heb. 2:10. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many Sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 15. And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. Heb. 4:9. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 15. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of Our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Heb. 6:10. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which 1183 RIGHTEOUS.--PROMISES TO, ExPRESSED OR IMPLIED. ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 16. For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confir- mation is to them an end of all strife. 17. Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the im- mutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: 18. That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19. Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both Sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that with- in the veil; 20. Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Mel- chisedec. Heb. 9:15. And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might re- ceive the promise of eternal inheritance. 28. So Christ was Once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the Second time with- Out sin unto Salvation. Heb. 10:34. For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an endur- ing substance. 35. Cast not away there- fore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 36. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the prom- 1S62. Heb. 11:16. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly : wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. Heb. 12:22. But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innu- merable company of angels. 23. The gen- eral assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 28. Wherefore we re- ceiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve gº acceptably with reverence and godly €a.I’. Heb. 13:5. Let your conversation be with- Out covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6. So that we may boldly say, the Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Jas. 1:5. If any of you tack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not ; and it shall be given him. 12. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 25. But whoSo looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of º work, this man shall be blessed in his eed. Jas. 2:5. Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom lº he hath promised to them that love im? Jas. 4:8. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. 1 Pet. 1:2. Elect according to the fore- knowledge of God the Father, through Sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ : Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4. To an in- heritance incorruptible and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5. Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Pet. 2:5. Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priest- hood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, accept- able to God by Jesus Christ. 6. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth. On him shall not be confounded. 9. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10. Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. 1 Pet. 3:9. Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise bless- ing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 10. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11. Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. 1 Pet. 4:13. But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 1 Pet. 5:4. And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. 6. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7. Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 10. But the God of all 1184 RIGHTEOUS.–PROMISES grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stab- lish, strengthen, Settle yout. 2 Pet. 1:4. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 10. Where- fore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall : 11. For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting king- dom of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Pet. 2:9. The Lord knoweth how to de- liver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judg- ment to be punished: 1 John 1:7. If we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanSeth us from all sin. 9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. - 1 John 2:17. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 25. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 28. And now, little chil- dren, abide in him ; that, when he shall ap- pear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 1 John 3:2. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 22. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 1 John 5:13. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Rev. 1:6. And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Rev. 2:7. To him that Overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. 10. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suf- fer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. 11. He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. 17. To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth Saving he that receiveth it. 26. And he that Over- cometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the na- tions. 27. And he shall rule them with a TO, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I re- ceived of my Father. 28. And I will give him the morning star. Rev. 3:4. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their gar- ments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. 5. He that Overcometh, the same shall be clothed in White rainment ; and I will not blot out his name Out of the book of life, but I will con- fess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 10. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall Come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 12. Him that Over- Cometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out; and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write ºtpon him my new name. 21. To him that Overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. Bev. 7:3. Hurt not the earth, neither the Sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the Servants of Our God in their foreheads. 4. And I heard the number of them which were Sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel. 9. After this I beheld, and, lo, a great mul- titude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10. And Cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. 11. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the eld- ers and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, 12. Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. 13. And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they 2 14. And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came Out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15. Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them. 16. They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the Sun light on them, nor any heat. 17. For the Tamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shali wipe away all tears from their eyes. (75) 1185 RIGHTEOUS.–UNITY OF, witH CHRIST. Eev. 11:12. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud ; and their enemies beheld them. 18. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy Servants the prophets, and to the Saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great ; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. |Rev. 14:1. And I looked, and, lo, a Tamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their fore- heads. 2. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3. And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. 4. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Tamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the first fruits unto God and to the Lamb. 5. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. 13. And I heard a voice from heaven say- ing unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the TOrd from henceforth : Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do fol- low them. * Rev. 16:15. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they See his shame. * Rev. 20:4. And I saw thrones, and they Sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 6. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. * Rev. 21:3. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor Crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5. And he that sat upon the throne said, Be- hold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the begin- ning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7. He that Overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 24. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it : and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. Rev. 22:4. And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun ; for the Łord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. 7. Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. 12. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 14. Blessed are they that do his command- ments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. John 15:1. I am the true vine, and my |Father is the husbandman. 2. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he takethaway : and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit ; SO shall ye be my disciples. 9. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you : continue ye in my love. 10. If 1186 RIGHTEOUS.–UNITY OF, witH CHRIST. ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 11. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 19. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own : but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. John 17:21. That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. 22. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them ; that they may be one, even as we are one : 23. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one ; 26. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it. that the love where- with thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. Rom. 8:1. There is therefore now no con- demnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 10. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. Rom. 12:5. So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 1 Cor. 6:13. Now the body is not for for- nication, but for the Lord : and the Lord for the body. 14. And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his Own power. 15. IGnow ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ 2 shall I then take the members of Christ, and make then the members of an harlot ? God for- bid. , 16. What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, Saith he, shall be one flesh. 17. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that com- mitteth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own 3 20. For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Cor. 10:16. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ 2 The bread which we break, is it not the Communion of the body of Christ 3 17. For we being many are one bread, and One body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. 1. Cor. 12:12. For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: So also is Christ. 13. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 27. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 2 Cor. 5:17. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 21. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 2 Cor. 11:2. I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 2 Cor. 13:5. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? Gal. 2:20. I am Crucified with Christ : nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for Iſle. Eph. 5:30. We are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 32. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Col. 1:27. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Col. 2:6. As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him ; 7. Rooted and built up in him, 1 Pet. 4:13. Rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 1 John 2:6. He that Saith he abideth in him, ought himself also So to walk, even as he walked. 24. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 28. Little children, abide in him ; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 1 John 3:6. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not : 24. He that keepeth his com- mandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. 1 John 4:13. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 1 John 5:12. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 20. We are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. 2 John 9. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. - Rev. 19:7. The marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white : for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage Supper of the Lamb. Rev. 21:9. The bride, the Lamb's wife.

Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou Seest the naked, that thou cover him ; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? 8. Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth Speedily: and thy righteousness shall go be- fore thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. 9. Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; 10. And if thou draw out thy Soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted Soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: 11.

He that hath my command- ments, and keepeth them, he it is that lov- eth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 22. Judas Saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? 23. Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make Our abode with him. 24. He that loveth me not keepeth not my Sayings: John 15:4. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit : for without me ye can do nothing. 8. Here- in is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 12. This is my commandment, That ye love One an- other, as I have loved you. Acts 9:36. Now there was at Joppa a cer- tain disciple named Tabitha, which by in- terpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of goodworks and almsdeeds which she did. Acts 11:29.

Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. - Rom. 5:1. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: . 2. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribula- tion worketh patience; 4. And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5. And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in Our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Rom. 6:19. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members serv- ants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto in- iquity: even so now yield your members Servants to righteousness unto holiness. 20. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. 21. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed 3 for the end of those things is death. 22. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Rom. 7:4. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to an- other, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. 5. For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. 6. But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in new- ness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. Rom. 8:4. That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 5. For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be Spiritually minded is life and peace. Rom. 14:17. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18. For he that in these things serveth Christ is ac- ceptable to God, and approved of men. , 19. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things where- with One may edify another. Rom. 15:1. We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2. Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edifica- tion. , 3. For even Christ pleased not him- self: but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. 4. For whatsoever things were written afore- time were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scrip- tures might have hope. 5. Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 6. That ye may with one mind and and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 7. Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God. 1 Cor. 4:19. But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the Speech of them which are puffed up, but the 1190 RIGHTEOUSNESS.–FRUITs of. power. 20. For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. - 1 Cor. 12:3. No man can Say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 1 Cor. 13:1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as Sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove moun- tains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profit- eth me nothing. 4. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not ; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5. Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, think- eth no evil; 6. Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8. Charity never faileth : but whether there be prophe- cies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12. For now we see through a glass, darkly ; but then face to face : now I know in part : but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is char- ity. 2 Cor. 5:17. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away ; behold, all things are become Ile W. 2 Cor. 7:10. For godly sorrow worketh re- pentance to Salvation not to be repented of : but the Sorrow of the world worketh death. 11. For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what careful- ness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 2 Cor. 9:10. Now he that ministereth Seed to the Sower both minister bread for yo?(7. food, and multiply your seed sown, and in- crease the fruits of your righteousness; 2 Cor. 10:5. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bring- ing into captivity every thought to the obe- dience of Christ : 2 Cor. 13:5. Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith ; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be repro- bates? Gal. 4:6. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Gal. 5:22. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23. Meekness, temperance: against Such there is no law. Gal. 6:7. Be not deceived ; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man Soweth, that shall he also reap. 8. For he that Soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Eph. 1:13. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation : in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14. Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. Eph. 5:9. (For the fruit of the Spirit Žs in all goodness and righteousness and truth :) Phil. 1:11. Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. 27. Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ : that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; 28. And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. 29. For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; Phil. 2:13. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleas- UII’é. - Phil 3:12. Not as though I had already at- tained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended : but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:11. Not that I speak in respect of want : for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound : every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Col. 1:12. Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13. Who hath delivered us from the power of 1.191 RIGHTEOUSNESS.–FRUITS OF. darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: Col. 3:3. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. , 5. Mortify there- fore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetous- ness, which is idolatry: 9. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; 10. And have put On the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11. Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond avor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 12. Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering ; 13. Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any : even as Christ forgave you, So also do ye. 14. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. 15. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. , 16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom: teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and Spiritual Songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. 1 Thess. 1:3. Remembering without ceas- ing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 9. They themselves shew of us what man- ner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; 10. And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, ever, Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. 2 Thess. 1:3. We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, be- cause that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth ; 4. So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God, for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 5. Which is a manifest token of the right- eous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 1 Tim. 2:9. In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10. But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 1 Tim. 5:9. Ilet not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man, 10. Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the Saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work. 2 Tim. 2:22, Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 2 Tim. 4:6. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. Tit, 2:2. That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, Sound in faith, in charity, in patience. 11. For the grace of God that bringeth Salvation hath appeared to all men, 12. Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live Soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world: Tit. 3:14. And let our's also learn to main- tain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. Philem. 5. Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6. That the communica- tion of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. Jas. 1:27. Pure religion and undefiled be- fore God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the wOrld. Jas. 2:14. What doth it profit, my breth- ren, though a man Say he hath faith, and have not works 2 can faith Save him ? 15. If a brother or sister benaked, and destitute of daily food, 16. And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled ; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body. ; what doth it profit 2 17. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19. Thou believest that there is one God ; thou doest well: the devils also believe and tremble. 20. But wilt; thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead 2 21. Was not Abraham Our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar Z 22. Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect 7 (23. And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was Called the Friend of God. 24. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, 1.192 RIGHTEOUSNESS.–FRUITS OF. when she had received the meSSengers, and had sent them out another way? 26. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. Jas. 3:11. Doth a fountain Send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? - 12. Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs 3 SO can no foun- tain both yield salt water and fresh. 13. Who is a wise man and endued with knowl- edge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14. But if ye have bitter envy- ing and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, Sensual, devilish. 16. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18. And the fruit of righteous- ness is sown in peace of them that make €a,CG. 1 Pet. 3:1. Tikewise, ye wives, be in sub- jection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2. While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. 3. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorn- ing of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4. But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 5. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned them- selves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: 6. Even as Sara obeyed Abra- ham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. 7. Likewise, ye hus- bands, dwell with them according to knowl- edge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs to- gether of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. 8. Finally, be ye all of One mind, having compassion One of an- other, love as brethren, be pitiful, be cour- teous: 9. Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise bless- ing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 10. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11. Tet him eschew evil, and do good ; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 14. But and if ye suf- fer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: 1 Pet. 4:2. That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 2 Pet. 1:5. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6. And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7. And to god- liness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. , 8. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 9. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot See afar Off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. - 1 John 2:3. And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his command- ments. 4. He that Saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected : hereby know we that we are in him. 6. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 10. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occa- sion of stumbling in him. 11. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walk- eth in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes. 24. Tet that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the begin- ning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 29. If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him. 1 John 3:3. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 6. Whosoever abideth in him sin- neth not : whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7. He that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 9. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him : and he cannot sin, because he is born Of God. 10. In this the children. Of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 11. For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 14. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 17. But who- so hath this world's good, and Seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwell- eth the love of God in him ? 18. My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 20. For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. 22. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, be cause we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 23. And this is his commandment, That we 1193 FIGHTEOUSNESS. RISING. should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love One another, as he gave us commandment. 24. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. 1 John 4:4. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them : because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 7. Beloved, let us love one another : for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8. He that lov- eth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12. No man hath seen God at any time. If we love One another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, be- cause he hath given us of his Spirit. 14. And we have seen and do testify that the Eather sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15. WhoSOever shall Confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love: and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth Out fear: because fear hath tor- ment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19. We love him, because he first loved us. 20. If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen 2 21. And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also. 1 John 5:1. Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born Of God : and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. 2. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his com- mandments. 3. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4. For whatsoever is born of God Overcometh the world : and this is the victory that over- Cometh the world, even Our faith. 5. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 10. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believ- eth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his son. 13. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe On the name of the Son of GOCl. 18. We know that whosoever is born of God sin- neth not ; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one touch- eth him not. - 2 John 9. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not GOd. He that abideth in the doctrine g Christ, he hath both the Father and the SOIl. 3 John 11. Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God. Rev. 2:2. I know thy works, and thy la- bour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 3. And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 19. I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. SYMBOLIZED : Ezek. 47:12; Rev. 22:2. See SIN, FRUITS OF; WORKS, GOOD.

Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. 22. And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge: So shall it be easier for Hºlt, and they shall bear the burden with €6. Ex. 23:8. And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous. Deut. 1:13.

Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment. 19. Thou shalt not wrest judg- ment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous. 20. That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Deut. 27:19. Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall Say, Amen. 2 Sam. 23:3. The God of Israel Said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He that ruleth Over men mºst be just, ruling in the fear of God. 4. And he shall be as the light of the morning, when the Sun riseth, even a morn- ing without clouds; as the tender grass Springing Out of the earth by clear Shining after rain. Ezra, 7:25. And thou, Ezra, after the wis- dom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not. Psa. 2:10. Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 11. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Psa. 72:1. Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's Son. 2. He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment. 3. The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. 4. He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall Save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor. 5. They shall fear thee as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. 6. He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. 7. In his days shall the righteous flourish ; and abundance of peace SO long as the moon en- dureth. 8. He shall have dominion also from Sea to Sea, and from the river unto the ends of the earth. 9. They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust. 10. The kings of Tarshish and of theisles shall bring presents: the kings of Sheba, and Seba shall offer gifts. 11. Yea, all kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall serve him. 12. For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth: the poor also, and him that hath no helper, 13. He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy. 14. He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight. 15.

His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the Sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed. Prov. 16:10. A divine sentence is in the lips of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment. 12. It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness. 13. Righteous lips are the delight of kings; and they love him that speaketh right. Prov. 17:7. Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. Prov. 19:12. The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favour is as dew upon the grass. Prov. 20:8. A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment Scattereth away all evil with his eyes. 26. A wise king scatter- eth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel over them. 28. Mercy and truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy. Prov. 21:1. The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. Prov. 24:23. These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment. 24. He that Saith un- to the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him: 25. But to them that rebuke him? shall be delight, and a good blessing shall Come upon them. , 26. Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer. Prov. 25:2. It is the glory of God to con- ceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to Search Out a matter. 3. The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. 5. Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteous- IlêSS. Prov. 28:2. For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof; but by a man of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged. 16. The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: bºtt he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days. Prov. 29:2. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. 4. The king by judgment establisheth the land: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it. 14.The king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his throne shall be established for ever. Prov. 31:4. It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: 5. Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judg- ment of any of the afflicted. 8.

Where the word of a king is, there is power: and who may Say unto him, What doest thou? Eccl. 10:16. Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning ! 17. Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the Son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due Season, for strength, and not for drunkenness! Isa. 5:22. Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to min- gle strong drink: . 23. Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him Isa. 16:5. And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and Seeking judgment, and hasting right- €OUISIléSS. Isa. 28:6. And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for ºth to them that turn the battle to the gale. Isa. 60:17. I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness. Jer. 13:18. Say unto the king and to the Queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for yOur principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory. Rom. 12:8. Or he that exhorteth, on ex- hortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. Rom. 13:1. Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are Ordained of God. 2. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to them- Selves damnation. 3. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4. For he is the minis- ter of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid: for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to eacecºtte wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5. Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience' sake. 6. For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. 7. Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is date; custom to whom custom ; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour. 1 Tim. 2:1. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2. For kings, and for all that are in au- thority; 1 Pet. 2:13. Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme: 14. Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evil do- ers, and for the praise of them that do well. DUTIES OF: Ex. 18:16. When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between One and another, and I do make they know the statutes of God, and his laws. 20. And thou shalt teach them or- dinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do. 21. Moreover thou shalt provide Out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covet- Ousness; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens: Ex. 23:3. Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause. 6. Thou shall not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause. 7. Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not : for I will not justify the wicked. 9. Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Lev. 19:15. Ye shall do no unrighteous- ness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the per- Son of the mighty; but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour. Lev. 24:22. Ye shall have One manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of §. own country: for I am the IORD your OCl. Num. 27:16.

Which may go out before them, and which may go in before them, and which may lead them out, and which may bring them in ; that the congregation of the LORD be not as sheep which have no shepherd. Deut. 1:16. And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously be- tween every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him. 17. Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great ; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God's: Teut. 16:18. Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment. 19. Thou shalt not wrest judg- ment ; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous. 20. That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. Deut. I?:16. But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth re- turn no more that way. 17. Neither shall 1197 RITIFRS.–RIGHTEOUS. he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away; neither shall he greatly mul- tiply to himself silver and gold. 18. And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites: 19. And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them : 20. That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left : to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel. Deut. 19:18. And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the wit- ness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother; 19. Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: So shalt thou put the evil away from among you. Deut. 24:16. The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own SIIl. Deut. 25:1. If there be a controversy be- tween men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them ; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked. Josh. 1:7. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my Servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 8. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth ; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is writ- ten therein: for then thou shalt make thy Way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 2 Chr. 9:8. God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made he thee * Over them, to do judgment and jus- J1Cé. 2 Chr. 19:6. And said to the judges, Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the LORD, who is with you in the judgment. 7. Wherefore now let the fear of the LORD be upon you; take heed and do Žt: for there is no iniquity with the LORD Our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of gifts. Ezra, 7:25. And thou, Ezra, after the wis- dom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not. 26. And whosoever will not do the law of thy God, and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily upon him, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, Or to con- fiscation of goods, or to imprisonment. Psa. 82:2. How long will ye judge un- justly, and accept the persons of the wicked ? 3. Defend the poor and fatherless: do jus- tice to the afflicted and needy. 4.

Let them praise the name of the LORD : Isa. 58:6. Is not this the fast that I have chosen 2 to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the op- pressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Jer. 22:1. Thus saith the LORD ; Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak there this word, 2. And say, Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, that sittest upon the throne of David, thou, and thy Servants, and thy people that enter in by these gates: 3. Thus saith the LORD ; Ex- ecute ye judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor: and do no wrong, do no violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood in this place. Jer. 21:12. Zech. 7:9. Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, Saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: 10. And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart. Zech. 8:16.

Deut. 27:19. Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger, fatherless, and widow. 1 Sam. 8:10. And Samuel told all the words of the LORD unto the people that asked of him a king. 11. And he said, This will be the manner of the king that shall reign over you: He will take your Sons, and appoint them for himself, for his chariots, and to be his horsemen ; and some shall run before his chariots. 12. And he will appoint him Captains over thousands, and captains over fifties; and will set them to ear his ground, and to reap his harvest, and to make his in- Struments of war, and instruments of his chariots. 13. And he will take your daugh- ters to be confectionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. 14. And he will take your fields, and your vineyards, and your olive- yards, even the best of them, and give them. to his servants. 15.

And he will take your menservants, and your maidservants, and your goodliest young men, and your asses, and put them to his work. 17. He will take the tenth of your sheep: and ye shall be his servants. 18. And ye shall cry out in that day be- cause of your king which ye shall have chosen you; 2 Chr. 28:19. For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed SOre against the TORD. Neh. 5:7. Then I consulted with myself, and I rebuked the nobles, and the rulers, and said unto them, Ye exact usury, every One of his brother. 8. And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen ; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found noth- ing to answer. 9. Also I said, It is not good | from him that puffeth at him. that ye do: ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies? Neh. 9:34. Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened untothy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them. 35. For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gav- est before them, neither turned they from their wicked works. 36. Behold, we are servants this day, and for the land that thou gavest unto our fathers to eat the fruit thereof and the good thereof, be- hold, we are servants in it : 37. And it yieldeth much increase unto the kings whom thou hast set over us because of our sins: also they have dominion Over our bodies, and over our cattle, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress. Job 24:22. He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no mazu is sure of life. 24. They are exalted for a lit- tle while, but are gone and brought low ; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn. Job. 35:9. By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to Cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. Psa. 10:17. TORD, thou hast heard the de- sire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: 18. To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more Oppress. Psa. 12:5. For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD ; I will set him in Safety 8. The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted. Psa. 49:20. Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish. * Psa. 58:1. Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men & 2. Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. Psa. 82:2. How long will ye judge un- justly, and accept the persons of the wicked ? Psa. 94:20. Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth, mischief by a law § 21 They gather them: selves together against the Soul of the right- eous, and condemn the innocent blood. Psa. 110:5. The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. Prov. 17:15. He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD. 26. Also to punish the just is not good, ºvor to strike princes for equity. Prov. 28:15. As a roaring lion, and a 11.99 RULERS.—WICKED. ranging bear; so is a wicked ruler Over the poor people, 16. The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great Oppressor: but he that hateth coveteousness shall pro- long his days. 28. When the wicked rise, men hide themselves: but when they per- ish, the righteous increase. Prov. 29:2. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. 4. The king by judgment establisheththeland: but he that receiveth gifts overthroweth it. 12. If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants are wicked. Prov. 30:21. For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear : 22. For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat ; |Eccl. 3:16. And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. 17. I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. Eccl. 4:1. I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun : and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they have no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter. 13. Bet- ter is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be ad- monished. 14. For Out of prison he cometh to reign ; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor. Eccl. 5:8. If thou Seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judg- ment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they. Eccl. 8:9. All this have I seen, and ap- plied my heart unto every work that is done under the Sun: there is a time wherein one man ruleth Over another to his own hurt. Eccl. 10:5, There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as an error which pro- ceedeth from the ruler: 6. Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place. 7. I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as Servants upon the earth. 16. Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is a child, and thy princes eat in the morning ! 17. Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king Žs the Son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due SeaSon, for strength, and not for drunk- enneSS Isa. 1:23. Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them. Isa. 3:12. As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. 14. The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. 15. What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces Of the poor? Saith the Lord GOD of hosts. Isa. 5:7. For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for right- eousness, but behold a cry. Isa. 10:1. Woe unto them that decree un- righteous decrees, and that write grievous- ness which they have prescribed; 2. To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless! 3. And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye flee for help ? and where will ye leave your glory? Isa. 14:5. The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rul- ers. 6. He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. 19. But thou art cast out of thy grave like anabominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit ; as a carcase trodden under feet. 20. Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast de- stroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. ^jS. 4—20. Isa. 28:14. Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye Scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem. 15. Because ye have said, 'We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement ; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: Isa. 29:20. The terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off: 21. That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproveth in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing Of nought. Isa. 30:33. For Tophet is ordained of old; yea, for the king it is prepared; he hath made it deep and large : the pile thereof is fire and much wood; the breath of the LORD, like a stream of brimstone, doth kindle it. Isa. 33:1. Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled ; and dealest treach- erously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. Isa. 40:23. That bringeth the princes to nothing ; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. 1200 RULERS.—WICKED. Isa. 52:5. Now therefore, what have Ihere, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought 2 they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD ; Isa. 59:14. Judgment is turned away back- ward, and justice standeth afar off: for truthis fallenin the street, and equity cannot enter. 15. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. Jer. 5:28. They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked : they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. 29. Shall Inot visit for these things' saith the LORD : shall not my soul be avenged. On Such a na- tion as this? Ezek. 21:25. And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end, 26. Thus saith the Lord GOD: Remove the diadem, and take Off the Crown : Ezek. 22:6. Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood. 27. Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest 8,IIl. § Ezek. 28:2. Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord GOD : Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, Isit ºn the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou Set thine heart as the heart of God: - Ezek. 34:2. Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves | should not the shepherds feed the flocks? 3. Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: Övt ye feed not the flock. 4. The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neitherhaveyebound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. 7. Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the TORD ; 8. As I live, Saith the Lord GOD, Surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became meat to every beast of the field, be- cause there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shep- herds fed themselves, and fed not my flock; 9. Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the LORD ; 10. Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more: for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, that they may not be meat for them. Ezek. 45:9. Thus saith the TOrd GOD, Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, Saith the Lord GOD. Hos. 5:10. The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pourout my wrath upon them like water. |Hos. 7.3. They make the king glad with * wickedness, and the princes with their 16S. Hos. 10:7. As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water. Amos 3:10. They know not to do right, Saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces. 11. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: An adversary there shall be even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled. Amos 4:1. Hear this word, ye . . . which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which Say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink. 2. The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks. Amos 5:11. Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and yetake from him burdens of wheat : ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them : ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them. 12. For I know your manifold trans- gressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. Amos 6:12. Shall horses run upon the rock 2 will one plow there with oxen 2 for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock: 13. Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength ? Mic. 3:1. Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment # 2. Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck Off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; 3. Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them ; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron. 9. Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that ab- hor judgment, and pervert all equity. 10. They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusa- lem with iniquity. 11. The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof di- vine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and Say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. Mic. 7:3. That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great aman, he uttereth his mischievous desire : so they wrap it up. 4. The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than (76) 1201. RULERS, RYE. a thorn hedge : the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity. Hab. 1:4. Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth : for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth. Hab. 2:12. Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity 1 vs. 5–13. Zeph. 1:8. And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel. Zeph. 3:3. Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the IY1OI’I’OW. Acts 23:3. Then said Paul unto him, God shall Smite thee, thov, whited wall : for sittest thou to judge me after the law, and commandest me to be Smitten contrary to the law Ż Jas. 2:6. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? 9. If ye have respect to persons, ye com- mit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

On the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the Seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it ; because that in it he had rested from all his Work which God created and made. Ex. 16:5. And it shall come to pass, that On the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in ; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily. 23. This is that which the LORD hath said, Tomorrow Žs the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and Seethe that ye will seethe ; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. 24. And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade; and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein. 25. And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a Sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field. 26. Six days ye shall gather it; but on the sev- enth day, which is the sabbath, in it there Shall be none. 27. And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none. 28. And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my com- mandments and my laws? 29. See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, there- fore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the Seventh day. 30. So the people rested On the seventh day. Ex. 20:8. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: #72 ºf thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy Son, northy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11. For in six days the TORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. Ex. 23:12. Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the Son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed. Ex.31:13. Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep : for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. 14. Ye shall keep the sabbath there- fore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that Soul shall be cut off from among his people. 15. Six days may work be done; but in the Seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD : whoSOever doeth any work in the Sabbath day, he shall Surely be put to death. 16. Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpet- ual covenant. 17. It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever : for £7, Six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and On the Seventh day he rested, and was refreshed, Ex. 34:21. Six days thou shalt work, but On the Seventh day thou shalt rest : in ear- ing time and in harvest thou shalt rest. Ex. 35:2. Six days shall work be done, but On the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a Sabbath of rest to the LORD : whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death. 3. Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day. Dev. 19:3. Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my Sab- baths: I am, the LORD your God. 30. Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my Sanctuary: I am the LORD. Lev. 23:1. And the LORD spake unto Mo- Ses, saying, 2. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts, 3. Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein. it is the sabbath of the TORD in all your dwellings. 27. Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy con- vocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your Souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 28. And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. 29. For what- soever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. 30. And whatsoever Soul Žt be that doeth any work in that Same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people. 31. Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever through- out your generations in all your dwellings. 32. It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your Sabbath. Lev. 16:29–31. & Lev. 24.8.

Then shall the land enjoy her Sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her Sabbaths. 35. As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your Sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it. Num. 15:32. And while the children of Is- rael were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered Sticks upon the Sabbath day. 33. And they that found him gath- ering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. 34. And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. 35. And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death ; all the congre- gation shall stone him with stones without the camp. 36. And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the LORD commanded Moses. Num. 28:9. And on the Sabbath day two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof: 10. This is the burnt offering of every sabbath, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering. Deut. 5:12. Keep the Sabbath day to sanc- tify it, as the LORD thy God hath com- manded thee. 13. Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: 14. But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maid- servant may rest as well as thou. 15. And remember that thou wast, a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD thy God brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm ; there- fore the LORD thy God commanded thee to keep the Sabbath day. 2 Kin. 4:23. Wherefore wilt thou go to him to-day ? it is neither new moon, nor Sabbath. 2 Chr. 36:21. To fulfil the word Of the TORD by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths: for as long as she lay desolate she kept Sabbath, to ful- fil threescore and ten years. Neh. 9:13. Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and command- ments: 14. And madest known unto them thy holy Sabbath, Neh. 10:31. And if the people of the land bring ware or any victuals on the Sabbath day to sell, that we would not buy it of them on the Sabbath, or on the holy day: Neh. 13:15. In those days saw I in Judah some treading wine presses on the Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all man- over of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: and I testi- fied against them in the day wherein they sold victuals. 16. There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusa- lem. 17. Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and profane the Sabbath day ? 18. Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city ? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the Sabbath. 19. And it came to pass, that when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the Sabbath, I commanded that the gates should be shut, and charged that they should not be opened till after the sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the Sabbath day. 20. So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice. 21. Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth came they no more on the Sabbath. 22. And I command- ed the Levites, that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to Sanctify the sabbath day. [A. Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.] Psa. 92:1. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High : 2. To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 3. Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. 4. For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. 5. O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. 6. A brutish man knoweth not; nei- ther doth a fool understand this. 7. When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: 8. But thou, LORD, art most high for ever- more. 9. For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 10. But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. 11. Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. 12. The righteous shall flour- ish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 13. Those that be plant- ed in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. 14. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; 15. To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there Žs no unrighteousness in him. 1204 SABBATH.—UNCLAssired SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. Bsa. 118:24. This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Isa. 1:13. Bring no more vain Oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of as- semblies, I cannot away with: it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. - Isa. 56:2. Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it ; that keepeth the Sabbath from pol- luting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. 4. For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant ; 5. Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of Sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. 6. Also the Sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sab- bath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant : 7. Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joy- ful in my house of prayer: their burnt offer- ings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. Isa. 58:13. If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the Sabbath a de- light, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine Own ways, nor finding thine Own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: 14. Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: Isa. 66:23. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from One Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, Saith the LORD. Jer. 17:21. Thus saith the LORD ; Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem ; 22. Neither carry forth a bur- den out of your houses on the Sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. 24. And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, Saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city On the Sabbath day, but hallow the Sabbath day to do no work therein; 25. Then shall there enter into the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of Da- vid, . . . 27. But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the Sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates there- of, and it shall devour the palaces of Jeru- salem, and it shall not be quenched. Lam. 1:7. Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her Sabbaths. - Lam. 2:6. And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as ºf it were of a gar- den: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest. Ezek. 20:12. Moreover also I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them. 13. But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilder- ness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which ºf a man do, he shall even live in them; and my Sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I Said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them. 16. They despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my Sabbaths: for their heart went after their idols. vs. 20, 21,24. Ezek. 22:8. Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast profaned my sabbaths. Ezek. 23:38. They have defiled my sanc- tuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths. Ezek. 44:24, They shall hallow my sab- baths. Ezek. 46:1. Thus saith the Lord GOD: The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, 3. Likewise the people of the land shall wor- ship at the door of this gate before the LORD in the Sabbaths and in the new moons. Hos. 2:11. I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. Amos 8:5. When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn ? and the sab- bath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit * Matt. 12:1. At that time Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were an hungred, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. 2. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. 3. But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him ; 4. How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? 5. Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? 6. But I say unto you, That in this place is one 1205 SABBATH.—UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. greater than the temple. 7. But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. 8. For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day. Mark 2:28. 10. And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the Sab- bath days 7 that they might accuse him. 11. And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have One sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the Sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out 2 12. How much then is a man better than a sheep 2 Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days. 13. Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth ; and it was restored whole, like as the other. Luke 6:1–10. Matt. 24:20. But pray ye that your flight º not in the winter, neither on the Sabbath Clay : Mark 2:27. The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: v. 28. Mark 6:2. And when the Sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the Synagogue: Mark 16:1. And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet * that they might come and anoint l]]]]. Luke 4:16. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up ; and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 31. And came down to Capernaum, a city 3. Galilee, and taught them. On the Sabbath ayS. Tuke 6:6. It came to pass also on another Sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught : Luke 13:10. He was teaching in one of the synagogues On the Sabbath. 11. And, be- hold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up her- self. 12. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. 13. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. 14. And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men Ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. 15. The Lord then answered him, and said, Tho?! hypocrite, doth not each one of you On the Sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering” 16. And Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day ? 17. And when he had said these things, all his ad- versaries were ashamed: Luke 14:1. And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Phar- isees to eat bread on the Sabbath day, that they watched him. 2. And, behold, there Was a certain man before him which had the dropsy. 3. And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? 4. And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go ; 5. And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the Sabbath day ? 6. And they could not an- Swer him again to these things. Luke 23:54. That day was the prepara- tion, and the Sabbath drew on. 56. And they returned, and prepared spices and oint- ments; and rested the Sabbath day accord- ing to the commandment. John 5:5. And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 6. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 7. The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. 8. Jesussaith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 9. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sab- bath. 10. The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the Sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. 11. He answered them, He that made me whole, the Same Said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. 12. Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk? 13. And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had con- veyed himself away, a multitude being in that place. 14. Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee. John 7:21. Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. 22. Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers:) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. 23. If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken ; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day ? 24. Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment, chapter 9:1–34. John 19:31. The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Acts 13:14. They came to Antioch in Pi- sidia, and went into the synagogue on the | 206 SABBATH. Sabbath day, and sat down. , 27. For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him. 42. And when the Jews were gone Out of the synagogue, the Gen- tiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath. 44. And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of i-QCl. Acts 15:21. For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day. Acts 16:13. On the Sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was wont to be made; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which resorted thither. Acts 17:2. And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three Sabbath days reasoned with them out of the Scriptures, Acts 18:4. And he reasoned in the syna- ogue every sabbath, and persuaded the i. and the Greeks. Col. 2:16. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sab- bath days: Heb. 4:4. For he spake in a certain place |26 of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works. Qj. 9. ~ OBSERVANCE OF: By Moses, Num. 15:32– 34. By Nehemiah, Neh. 13:15,21.

Then the same day at even- ing, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. [vs. 1,11–16.] 26. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them : them came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Acts 20:7. And upon the first day of the week when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow ; and con- tinued his speech until midnight. 1 Cor. 16:2.

Who is among you that fear- eth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light 2 let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God. Isa. 51:4. Hearken unto me, my people; and give ear unto me, O my nation: for a law shall proceed from me, and I will make my judgment to rest for a light of the peo- ple. 5.

The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the Salva- tion of our God. 15. So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him : for that which had not been told them shall they see: and that which they had not heard shall they con- sider. Isa. 55:1. Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat ; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread 2 and your labour for that which satisfieth not ? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight it- Self in fatness. 3. Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting cove- nant with you, even the sure mercies of Da- vid. 6. Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near : 7. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Isa. 56:1. Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my Salvation Žs near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. 6. The sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his Servants, every one that keepeth the sab- bath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; 7. Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joy- ful in my house of prayer: their burnt of- ferings and their Sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. 8. The Lord GOD which gathereth the out- casts of Israel Saith, Yet will I gather others ; him, beside those that are gathered unto 1Iſl. Isa. 57:18. I have seen his ways, and will heal him: I will lead him also, and restore Comforts unto him and to his mourners. 19. I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him, that is near, Saith the LORD ; and I will heal him. Isa. 61:1. The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken- hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2. To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of Our God ; to comfort all that mourn ; 3. To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the plant- ing of the LORD, that he might be glorified. Isa. 63:9. In all their affliction he was af- flicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he re- deemed them; and he bare them, and car- ried them all the days of old.

Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before Oll. Matt. 22:9. Go ye therefore into the high- ways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10. So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered to- gether all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. 14. Many are called, but few are chosen. Matt. 23:37. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thout that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not Matt. 24:14. This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a wit- ness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Mark 2:17.

And, behold, there are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last. Luke 14:16. Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great Supper, and bade many : 17. And Sent his servant at supper time to Say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. 18. And they all with One consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and See it: I pray thee have me excused. 19. And another said, I have bought five yoke of Oxen, and I go to prove them : I pray thee have me excused. 20. And another Said, I have married a wife, and therefore I Cannot come. 21. So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his Servant, Go Out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 22. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 23. And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 24. For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. Luke 15:2. And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sin- ners, and eateth with them. 4. What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, dot; not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it 2 5. And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his shoul- ders, rejoicing. 6. And when he cometh home, he calleth together / is friends and neighbours, Saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. , 7. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that re- penteth, more than Over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. 8. Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek dili- gently till she find it * 9. And when she hath found it, she calleth her friends and her neighbours, together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost. , 10. Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth. 11. And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12. And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13. And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14. And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that 1211 SATIVATION.—UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16. And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat; and no man gave unto him. 17. And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I per- ish with hunger | 18. I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19. And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as One of thy hired servants. 20. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had com- passion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21. And the son said unto him, E'ather, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring On his hand, and shoes on his feet : 23. And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry : 24. For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry. 25. Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. 26. And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. 27. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come ; and thy father hath killed the fatted Calf, because he hath received him safe and Sound. 28. And he was angry, and would not go in : therefore came his father out, and intreated him. 29. And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy command- ment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: 30. But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with har- lots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. 31. And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. 32. It was meet that we should make mer- ry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. Luke 19:10. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Luke 24:47. That repentance and remis- sion of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. John 1:7. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men. through him might believe. John 3:14. And as Moses lifted up the ser- pent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15. That whoso- ever believethin him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17. For God sent not his Son into the world to Condemn the world; but that the world through him might be Saved. John 4:14. But whosoever drinketh Of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. 22. Ye worship ye know not what : we know what we wor- ship : for Salvation is of the Jews. John 5:40. Ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. John 6:35. Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. 37. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that Cometh to me I will in no wise cast Out. John 7:37. In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38. He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. John 10:16. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. John 11:51. And this spake he not of him- Self: but being high priest that year, he proph- esied that Jesus should die for that nation; 52. And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the Children of GOd that were scattered abroad. John 12:32. I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all ºver unto me. John 15:4. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, ex- cept it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. Acts 2:39. The promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar * even as many as the ſlord Our God shall Call. - Acts 4:12. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name un- der heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 5:20. Go, stand and speak in the tem- ple to the people all the words of this life. Acts 11:17. Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ ; what was I, that I could withstand God? 18. When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life. Acts 13:26. Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this Salvation sent. 38. Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: 39. And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from 1212 SALVATION.—UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses. 47. For so hath the Lord com- manded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for Salvation unto the ends of the earth. Acts 15:7. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and Said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. 8. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; 9. And put no differ- ence between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. 11. But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, Acts 16:17. The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of Salvation. 30. And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31. And they said, Be- lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Acts 20:21. Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward Our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 28:28. Be it known therefore unto you, that the salvation of God is sent unto the Gentiles, and that they will hear it. |Pom. 1:5. By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: 14. I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Darbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. 16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ : for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17. Eor therein is the righteousness of God re- vealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Pom. 2:26. Therefore if the uncircumci- sion keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for cir- cumcision ? Rom. 3:21. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22. Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe; for there is no differ- ence: 23. For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24. Being justi- fied freely by his grace through the re- demption that is in Christ Jesus ; 25. Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26. To declare, I say, at this time his right- eousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 28. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 29. Is he the God of the Jews only 8 —es, is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30. Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. Rom. 4:1. What shall we say then that Abraham Our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found 3 2. For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3. For what Saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteous- neSS. 4. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5. But to him that worketh not, but believ- eth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth right- eousness without works, 7. Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9. Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircum- cision also } for we say that faith was reck- oned to Abraham for righteousness. 10. How was it then reckoned ? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision ? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision. 11. And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that be- lieve, though they be not circumcised: that righteousness might be imputed unto them also: 12. And the father of Circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised. 13. For the prom- ise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, Or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. 14. For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: 15. Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. 16. Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the Seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham ; who is the father of us all, 17. (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the dead- ness of Sarah's womb : 20. He staggered not at the promise of God through unbe- lief: but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21. And being fully persuaded 1213 SAT.V ATTON.—TTNCTASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him ; 24. But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus Our Lord from the dead; 25. Who was delivered for Our offences, and was raised again for Our jus- tification. Rom. 5:1. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through Our Lord Jesus Christ : 2. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory Of God. vs. 15–21. - Rom. 7:24. O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25. I thank God through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Rom. 9:30. The Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 31. But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not at- tained to the law of righteousness. 32. Wherefore ? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling- stone; 33. As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of of- fence: and whosoever believeth. On him shall not be ashamed. Rom. 10:4. Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believ- eth. 8. The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart : that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth Confession is made unto Salvation. 11. For the scripture Saith, Whosoever be- lieveth. On him shall not be ashamed. 12. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord Over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the LOrd shall be saved. Rom. 11:6. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: Otherwise workis no more work. 11. I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall ? God forbid: but rather through their fall Salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 12. Now 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 fulness? vs. 1–36. Rom. 15:9. And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written, For this cause I will confess to thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto thy name. 16. That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gos- pel of God, that the offering up of the Gen- tiles might be acceptable, being Sanctified by the Holy Ghost. 1 Cor. 1:18. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God. 1 Cor. 6:11. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 2 Cor. 5:17. Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away ; behold, all things are become new. 20. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. 2 Cor. 6:1. We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. 17. Where- fore come out from among them, and be ye separate, Saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, Saith the Lord Almighty. 2 Cor. 7:10. For godly sorrow worketh re- pentance to Salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. Gal. 1:4. Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and Our Father: Gal. 2:16. Knowing that a man is not jus- tified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law : for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Gal. 3:8. The scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abra- ham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 13. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth On a tree: 14. That the bless- ing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might re- ceive the promise of the Spirit through faith. 21. Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid : for if there had been a law given which could have given life, ver- ily righteousness should have been by the law. 26. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female : for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. vs. 1–28. Eph. 1:9. Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10. That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather 1214 SALVATION.—UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him. 13. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your Salvation: in whom also, after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Eph. 2:1. And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 3. And were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love where with he loved us, 5. Tiven when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 8. By grace are ye Saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: 9. Not of works, lest any man should boast. 14. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15. Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of com- mandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 17. And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. Eph. 3:6. The Gentiles should be fellow- heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: , 9. To make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who cre- ated all things by Jesus Christ: Eph. 5:14. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. Phil. 2:12. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Thil. 3:7. But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9. And be found in him, not having mine own right- eousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteous- ness which is of God by faith: 10. That I may know him, and the power of his resur- rection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11. If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Col. 1:5. The word of the truth of the gos- pel; 6. Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world: 20. Having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. 21. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22. In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and un- blameable and unreproveable in his sight: 23. If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; 26. Even the mys- tery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his Saints: 27. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Col. 3:11. Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. 1 Thess. 5:8. But let us, who are of the day, be Sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of Salvation. 9. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain Salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10. Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 2 Thess. 2:13. God hath from the begin- ning chosen you to Salvation through sanc- tification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14. Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Tim. 1:13. Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I ob- tained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. , 15. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 16. Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuf- fering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 1 Tim. 2:3. For this is good and accept- able in the sight of God our Saviour; 4. Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5. Eor there is one God, and one mediator be- tween God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6. Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 1 Tim. 4:10. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 2 Tim. 1:9. Who hath saved us, and called ºts with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10. But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortal- ity to light through the gospel: 2 Tim. 2:10. Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also ob- tain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 2 Tim. 3:15. And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto Salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 1215 SALVATION.—UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. Tit. 2:11. The grace of God that bringeth Salvation hath appeared to all men, Tit. 3:3. For we ourselves also were some- times foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 6. Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour: 7. That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs ac- cording to the hope of eternal life. Heb. 1:14. Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of Salvation ? Heb. 2:3. How shall we escape, if we neg- lect so great Salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him ; 10. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many Sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. Heb. 4:1. Tet us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. 2. For untous was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. 3. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: al- though the works were finished from the foundation of the world. 4. For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the Seventh day from all his works. 5. And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest. 6. Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief: 7. Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after So long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. 8. For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. 9. There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Heb. 5:9. And being made perfect, he be- came the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him ; Heb. 7:25. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, Seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Jas. 1:21. Wherefore lay apart all filthi- ness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your Souls. 1 Pet. 1:5. Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 9. Receiving the end of your faith, even the Salvation of Ayour souls. 10. Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and Searched dili- gently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 2 Pet. 3:9. The Lord is not slack concern- ing his promise, as Some men count Slack- ness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 15. And ac- count that the longsuffering of Our Lord is Salvation ; 1 John 2:25. This is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life. 1 John 4:9. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitia- tion for our sins. 1 John 5:11. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Jude 3. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was Once deliv- ered unto the Saints. Rev. 3:17. Because thou Sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest See. 20. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Rev. 5:9. And they sung a new song, Say- ing, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood Out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; Rev. 7.9. After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could num- ber, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; 10. And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. Rev. 14:6. And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Rev. 21:6. I will give unto him that is 1216 SATVATION.—CONDITIONS OF. athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Bev. 22:17. And the Spirit and the bride Say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. See ADOPTION ; REDEMPTION: REGENERA- TION: SANCTIFICATION. CONDITIONS OF : Matt. 3:2. Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matt. 18:3, And said, Verily I Say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matt. 19:16. And, behold, one came and Said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? 17. And he said unto him, Why call- est thou me good 3 there is none good but One, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18. He saith unto him, Which 3 Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adul- tery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, 19. Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 20. The young man Saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up; what lack I yet 2 21. Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heav- | en: and come and follow me. Luke 18: 18–26. Matt. 24:13. But he that shall endure un- to the end, the same shall be saved. Mark 1:4. John did baptize in the wil- derness, and preach the baptism of re- pentance for the remission of sins. Luke 3:8. Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to Say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children un- to Abraham. - Luke 14:25. And there went great multi- tudes with him: and he turned, and Said unto them, 26. If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sis- ters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28. For which of you, intend- ing to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have suf- ficient to finish it 2 29. Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 30. Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. 31. Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand 7 32. Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he Sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. 33. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he can- not be my disciple. John 3:3. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4. Nicodemus saith unto him, HOW can a man be born when he is old 3 can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born ? 5. Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6. That which is born of the flesh is flesh ; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the Sound thereof, but camst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: sc is every one that is born of the Spirit. 9. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be 7 10. Jesus an- Swered and Said unto him, Art, thou a mas- ter of Israel, and knowest not these things? 11. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen ; and ye receive not our witness. 12. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 14. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up : 15. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16. For God SO loved the world, that he gave his Only begotten Son, that whoso- ever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believ- eth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 5:24. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth. On him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation ; but is passed from death unto life. John 6:28. Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29. Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye be- lieve on him whom he hath sent. 47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. John 9:35. Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe On the Son Of God? John 11:25. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life : he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26. And whosoever liveth and believ- eth in meshall never die. Believest thou this? (77) 1217 SALVATION.—PLAN OF. John 12:36. While ye have light, believe #. the light, that ye may be the children of ight. º ohn 20:31. But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. Acts 2:38. Then Peter said unto them, Re- pent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 3:19. Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; 23. And it shall come to pass, that every Soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. See BLESSINGS, CONTINGENT UPON OBEDI- ENCE: FAITH; OBEDIENCE; REPENTANCE; PERSEVERANCE. PLAN OF : Mark 4:11. And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mys- tery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: John 6:44. No man can come to me, ex- cept the Father which hath sent me draw him : and I will raise him up at the last day. w8. 37,65. 45. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. John 17:4. I have glorified thee on the earth : I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. John 18:11. Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath : the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it 3 John 19:28. After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 29. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. 30. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: º he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. Acts 3:18. But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. Acts 17:3. Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ. Rom. 1:16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto Salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17. For therein is the righteousness of God re- vealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. Rom. 10:3. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not Submitted themselves unto the righteous- ness of God. 4. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 5. For MOSes describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven 2 (that is, to bring Christ down from above :) 7. Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8. But what saith it ! The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Bom, 16:25. Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26. But now is made manifest, and by the scrip- tures of the prophets, according to the com- mandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith : 1 Cor. 1:21. For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preach- ing to save them that believe. 22. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23. But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24. But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 25. Because the foolish- ness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1 Cor. 2:7. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8. Which none of the princes of this world knew : for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9. But as it is written, Eye hath not Seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 2 Cor. 5:18. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them ; and hath committed untous the word of rec- Onciliation. Gal. 4:4. But when thefulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5. To re- deem them that were under the law, that We might receive the adoption of sons. Eph. 1:3. Blessed be the God and Father 1218 SAILVATION.—PLAN OF. Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4. According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and with- Out blame before him in love: 5. Having predestinated us unto the adoption of chil- dren by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6. To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath madeus accepted in the beloved : 7. In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8. Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence ; 9. Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10. That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth ; even in him : 11. In whom also we have obtained an inherit- ance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his Own will: 12. That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were Sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, 14. Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased posses- Sion, unto the praise of his glory. 15. Where- fore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16. Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17. That the God of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him : 18. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the Saints, 19. And what is the exceeding great- ness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20. Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21. Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and ever name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: 22. And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23. Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. Eph. 2:4. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love where with he loved us, 5. Even when we were dead in sins, hath Quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are Saved;) 6. And hath raised ws up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7. That in the ages to come he might shew the exceed- ing riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8. For by grace are ye Saved through faith ; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9. Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before Ordained that we should walk in them. Eph. 3:1. For this cause I Paul, the pris- oner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2. If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 3. How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery ; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4. Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mys- tery of Christ) 5. Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6. That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: 7. Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. 8. Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ ; 9. And to make all men see what is the fel- lowship of the mystery, which from the be- ginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ : 10. To the intent that now unto the principali- ties and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wis- dom of God, 11. According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: Eph. 6:19. That utterance may be given unto me, that I may Open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, Col. 1:19. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20. And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. 21. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22. In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreprove- able in his sight: 23. If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minis- ter; 26. Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, . but now is made manifest to his saints: 27. To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 2 Thess. 2:13. But we are bound to give 1219 SALVATION. SAMSON. thanks always to God for you, brethren be- loved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to Salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and be- lief of the truth: 14. Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Tim. 3:16. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 2 Tim. 1:9. Who hath saved us, and called ws with an holy calling, not according to Our works, but according to his own, purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10. But is now made manifest by the appearing of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immor- tality to light through the gospel: FIeb. 2:9. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffer- ing of death, crowned with glory and hon- our ; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 10. For it be- came him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many Sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferingS. 14. Forasmuch then as the children are par- takers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same ; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15. And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17. Wherefore in all things, it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to suc- cour them that are tempted. Heb. 6:17. Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of prom- ise the immutability of his counsel, con- firmed it by an oath: 18. That by two im- mutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong con- solation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19. Which hope we have as an anchor of the Soul, both sure and stedfast, and which en- tereth into that within the veil; 20. Whith- er the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the Order of Melchisedec. Rev. 5:2. And I saw a strong angel pro- claiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof; 3. And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. 4. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 5. And One of the elders saith unto me, Weep not : behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the Seven seals thereof. Rev. 10:7. But in the days of the voice of the Seventh angel, when he shall begin to Sound, the mystery of God should be fin- ished, as he hath declared to his Servants the prophets.

UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELAT. ING TO: Ex. 31:13. Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout Yº. generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. - Ex. 33:16. For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? So shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth. Lev. 21:1. And the TORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be de- filed for the dead among his people: 2. But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother, 3. And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no hus- band; for her may he be defiled. 4. But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself. 5. They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. 6. They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God; for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God, they do offer: therefore they shall be holy. 7. They shall not take a wife that is a whore, or profane; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband: for he is holy unto his God. 8. Thou shalt Sanctify him therefore; for he offereth the bread of thy God: he shall be holy unto thee: for I the LORD, which sanctify you, am holy. 9. And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire. , 10. And he that is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is con- Secrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his head, nor rend his clothes; 11. Neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his moth- er; 12. Neither shall he go out of the sanc- tuary, nor profane the Sanctuary of his God; for the crown of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD. 13. And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 14, A widow, or a divorced woman, or profane, or an harlot, these shall he not take: but he shall take a virgin of his own people to wife. 15. Neither shall he profane his seed among his people: for I the LORD do sancti- fy him. , 16. And the LORD spake unto Mo- Ses, Saying, 17. Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed in their gen- erations that hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. 18. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blem- ish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing Superfluous, 19. Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, 20. Or Crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blem- ish in his eye, Or be Scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; 21. No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. 22. He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy. 23. Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I the LORD do sanctify them. Jer. 1:5. Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou Camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I or- dained thee a prophet unto the nations. Ezek. 37:28. And the heathen shall know 1221 SANCTIITICATION. UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RETATING TO. that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore. John 17:17. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. 19. And for their sakes I Sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. Acts 26:17. I send thee, 18. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Rom. 15:16. That I should be the min- ister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, minis- tering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, be- ing sanctified by the Holy Ghost. 1 Cor. 1:2. Unto the church Of GOd which is at Corinth, to them that are Sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be Saints. 30. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 1 Cor. 6:11. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are Sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. 1 Cor. 13:1. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as Sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 4. Charity suffer- eth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5. Doth not behave itself unseemly, Seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, think- eth no evil: 6. Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; 7. Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8. Charity never fail- eth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away child- ish things. 12. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. 2 Cor. 1:21. Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, Žs God: 22. Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. Gal. 2:20. I am crucified with Christ : nev- ertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal. 6:14. But God forbid that I should glory, Save in the cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. Eph. 1:3. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ : 4. According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and with- out blame before him in love : Eph. 3:19. And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness Of God. Eph. 47. Unto every One of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 12. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a per- fect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 15. Speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, ever, Christ: 16. From whom the whole bodly fitly joined to- gether and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, mak- eth increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. Eph. 5:25. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26. That he might sanc- tify and cleanse it with the washing of wa- ter by the word, 27. That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Col. 2:11. In whom also ye are circum- cised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ : 1 Thess. 4:3. For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should ab- stain from fornication: 4. That every one of you should know how to possess his ves- sel in sanctification and honour; 1 Thess. 5:23. And the very God of peace Sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and Soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of Our Lord Je- sus Christ. 2 Thess. 2:13. God hath from the begin- ning chosen you to Salvation through Sanc- tification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 14. Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of Our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Tim. 2:11. It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him : 21.

For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, |Heb. 9:14. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit of fered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to Serve the living God? Heb. 10:10. By the which will we are sanc- tified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. , 14. For by one of fering he hath perfected for ever them that are Sanctified. Heb. 12:10. For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partak- ers of his holiness. Heb. 13:12. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate. 21. Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well- pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ ; 1 Pet. 1:2. Elect according to the fore- knowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 2 Pet. 1:2. Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3. According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life , and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and pre- cious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having es- caped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 1 John 1:9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Jude 1.

Lev. 10:4. And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and Said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctu- ary Out of the camp. 5. So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said. Lev. 11:24.

If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white ; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days: 5. And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, ºf the plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more: 6. And the priest shall look on him again the Seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab : and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. 7.

Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burneth have a White bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white; 25. Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of the burning; wherefore the priest Shall pronounce him unclean : it is the plague of leprosy. 26. But if the priest look On it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the other skin, but be somewhat dark ; then the priest shall shut him up seven days: 27. And the priest shall look upon him the sev- enth day; and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean : it is the plague of leprosy. 28. And if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not in the skin, but it be some- what dark; it is a rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is an inflammation of the burning. 29. If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard; 30. Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it be in sight deeper than the skin; and there be in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean : it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head or beard. 31. And if the priest look on the plague of the Scall, and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hairin it ; then the priest shall shut up him. that hath the plague of the scall seven days: 32. And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight deeper than the skin; 33. He shall be shaven, but the Scall shall he not shave ; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more: 34. And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, be- hold, if the scall be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. 35. But if the scall spread much in the skin after his cleansing ; 36. Then the priest shall look on him : and, behold, if the Scall be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean. 37. But if the scall be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black hair grown up there- in: the scall is healed, he is clean : and the priest shall pronounce him clean. 38. If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright 1225 SANITATION.—CONTAGION. spots; 39. Then the priest shall look; and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean. 40. And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean. 41. And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald; yet is he clean. 42. And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore ; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead. 43. Then the priest shall look upon it : and, be- hold, if the rising of the sore be white red- dish in his bald head, or in his bald fore- head, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh; 44. He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him ut- terly unclean; his plague is in his head. 45. And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean. 46. All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be. 47. The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woollen garment, or a linen garment; 48. Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin; 49. And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest : 50. And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the plague seven days: 51. And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin; the plague is a fretting leprosy; it is unclean. 52. He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen, or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy ; it shall be burnt in the fire. 53. And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; 54. Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up Seven days more: 55. And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed : and, behold, if the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not spread; it is unclean ; thou shalt burn it in the fire ; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without. 56. And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the gar- ment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof: 57. And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading plague: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire. , 58. And the garment, either warp, or woof, or what- soever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall É. washed the second time, and shall be clean. 59. This is the law of the plague of leprosy in the garment of woollen or linen, sº in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean. Lev. 14:2. This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest : 3. And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper; 8. And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days. 9. But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave Off: and he shallwash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean. 34. When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession; 35. And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house : 36. Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to See the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house : 37. And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall; 38. Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house Seven days: 39. And the priest shall come again the Seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house; 40. Then the priest shall com- mand that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city: 41. And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place : 42. And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house. 43. And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered ; 44. Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague bespread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean. 45. And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the tim- 1226 SANITATION.—CONTAGION. ber thereof, and all the morter of the house ; and he shall carry them forth Out of the city into an unclean place. 46. Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even. 47. And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shallwash his clothes. 48. And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, be- cause the plague is healed. 54. This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and Scall, 55. And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house, 56. And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot : 57. To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy. Lev. 15:2. When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean. 3. And this shall be his unclean- ness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness. 4. Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is un- clean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean. 5. And whosoever touch- eth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 6. And he that sitteth on anything whereon he sat that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himselfin water, and be unclean until the even. 7. And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe him- self in water, and be unclean until the even. 8. And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 9. And what sad- dle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean. 10. And whosoever touch- eth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even: and he that beareth any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 11. And whomsoever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 12. And the vessel of earth, that he toucheth which hath the issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water. 13. And when he that hath an issue is cleansed of his issue; then he shall number to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean. 16. And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be un- clean until the even. 17. And every gar- ment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. 18. The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even. 19. And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and who- SOever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. 20. And every thing that she lieth upon in her Separation shaî be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. 21. And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 22. And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 23. And if it be on her bed, or on anything whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean un- til the even. 24. And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. 25. And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days Out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of theissue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean. 26. Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation : and what- SOever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation. 27. And whosoever toucheth those things shall be un- clean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 28. But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. 31. Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them. 32. This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith ; 33. And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean. Lev. 22:4. What man Soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running issue ; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him; 5. Or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever un- cleanness he hath; 6. The soul which hath touched any such shall be unclean untileven, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water. 7. And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall afterward eat of the holy things; because it Žs his food. 8. That which dieth Ofitself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself there with : Num. 5:2. Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and who: 1227 SANITATION.—DISINFECTION. SOever is defiled by the dead: 3. Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them ; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell. 4. And the children of Israel did so, and put them Out without the camp: Num. 9:6. And there were certain men, who were defiled by the dead body of a man, that they could not keep the passOver on that day: 10. If any man of you or of your posterity shall be unclean by reason of a dead body, or be in a journey afar off, yet he shall keep the passOver unto the LORD. Num. 19:11. He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean Seven days. 12. He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean : but if he purify not himself the third day, then the Seventh day he shall not be clean. 13. Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and pu- rifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD ; and that Soulshall be cut off from Israel: because the water of Separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him. 14. This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent : all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean Seven days. 15. And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean. 16. And whoso- ever toucheth One that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days. 22. And whatsoever the un- clean person toucheth shall be unclean ; and the Soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even. - Num. 31:19. And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day. 20. And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood. Deut. 23:10. If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of unclean- ness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp: 11. But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash him- self with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again. Deut. 24:8. Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that thou observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you : as I commanded them, so ye shall observe to do. DISINFECTION: Lev.2:13. Andevery obla- tion of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering : with all thine offer- ings thou shalt offer Salt. Lev. 7:19. And the flesh that touchethany unclean thing shall not be eaten; it shall be burnt with fire : e it shall be unclean unto you. Lev. 11:24. And for these ye shall be un- clean : whosoever toucheth the carcase of them shall be unclean until the even. 25. And whosoever beareth ought of the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be un- clean until the even. 26. The carcases of every beast which divideth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you : every One that toucheth them shall be unclean. 27. And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you: whosotoucheth their carcase shall be unclean until the even. 28. And he that beareth the carcase of them shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even: they are unclean unto you. 29. These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the wea- Sel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind, 30. And the ferret, and the chame- leon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. 31. These are unclean to you among all that creep : whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even. 32. And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean ; whether it be any vessel of wood, Or rairment, or skin, Or sack, whatso- ever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be un- clean until the even ; SO it shall be cleansed. 33. And every earthen vessel, whereinto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and ye shall break it. 34. Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean : and all drink that may be drunk in every such vessel shall be unclean. 35. And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean; whet/ver it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down : for they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto Vou. 36. Nevertheless a foun- tain or pit, where???, there is plenty of water, shall be clean: but that which toucheth their carcase shall be unclean. 37. And if any part of their carcase fall upon any sowing seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. 38. But if any water be put upon the seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, 39. And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the Carcase thereof shall be unclean until the even. 40. And he that eateth of the Carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even : he also that bear- eth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. Lev. 13:6. And the priest shall look on him again the Seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is bººt a scab : and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. 34. And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, if the scall be ‘not spread in the skin, nor be in sight 1228 SANITATION.—DISINFECTION. deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean. 47. The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether £t be a woollen garment, or a linen garment; 48. Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin; 49. And if the plague be greenish or reddish in the gar- ment, or in the skin, either in the warp, Or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shewed unto the priest : 50. And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that hath the plague seven days: 51. And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin ; the plague is a fretting leprosy ; it is unclean. 52. He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy ; it shall be burnt in the fire. 53. And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; 54. Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up Seven days more : 55. And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not spread: it is unclean ; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without. 56. And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or Out of the warp, or out of the woof: 57. And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading plague: thou shalt burn that wherein the plague is with fire. 58. And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which thou shalt wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the sec- Ond time, and shall be clean. 59. This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or anything of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean. Lev. 14:8. And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days. 9. But it shall be On the Seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean. 34. When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession ; 35. And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house: 36. Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and after- ward the priest shall go in to see the house: 37. And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or red- dish, which in sight are lower than the wall; 38. Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house Seven days: 39. And the priest shall come again the Seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, ºf the plague be spread in the walls of the house; 40. Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague 7s, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city: 41. And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an un- clean place: 42. And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house. , 43. And if the plague come again, and break Out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered; 44. Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house: it is unclean. 45. And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place. 46. Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even. 47. And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes. 48. And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed. 54. This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and Scall, 55. And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house, 56. And for a rising, and for a Scab, and for a bright spot: 57. To teach when ăţ is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy. Lev. 15:2. When any man hath a run- ning issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean. 3. And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness. 4.

And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be un- clean. 25. And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean. 26. Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her Separation. 27. And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 28. But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. Num. 31:19. And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any perSon, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day. 20. And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood. 22.

It shall be a perpetual Statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood. Lev. 7:15, And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving shall be eaten the same day that it is offered; he shall not leave any of it until the morning. 16. But if the sacrifice of his offering be a VOW, Or a voluntary offering, it shall be eaten the same day that he offereth his Sacrifice: and on the morrow also the re- mainder of it shall be eaten : 17. But the remainder of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burnt with fire. 18. And if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings be eaten at all on the third day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be imputed unto him that offereth it: it shall be an abomination, and the soul that eateth of it shall bear his iniquity. 19. And the flesh that toucheth any unclean thing shall not be eaten ; it shall be burnt with fire: and as for the flesh, all that be clean Shall eat thereof. 23. Ye shall eat no man- ner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat. 24. And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it. 25. For who- soever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the Soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people. 26. Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings. 27. Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that Soul shall be cut off from his people. Lev. 11:2. These are the beasts which ye Shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth. 3. Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat. 4. Nevertheless these shall ye not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the hoof: as the camel, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 5. And the coney, be- cause he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 6. And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. 7. And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he chew- eth not the cud: he is unclean to you. 8. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their car- case shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you. 9. These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat. 10. And all that have not fins and Scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any, living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you: 11. They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye Shall have their carcases in abomination. 12. Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you. 13. And these are they which ye shall have in abomination among the fowls; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomi- nation : the eagle, and the Ossifrage, and the Ospray, 14. And the vulture, and the kite after his kind; 15. Every raven after his kind; 16. And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 17. And the little owl, and the cormorant, and the great owl, 18. And the Swan, and the pelican, and the gier eagle, 19. And the stork, the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. 20. All fowls that creep, going upon all four, shall be an abomination unto you. 21. Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth ; 22. Even these of them ye may eat ; the lo- cust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind. 23. But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. 26. The carcases of every beast which di- videth the hoof, and is not clovenfooted, nor cheweth the cud, are unclean unto you: every one that toucheth them shall be un- clean. 27. And whatsoever goeth upon his paws, among all manner of beasts that go on all four, those are unclean unto you : whoso toucheth their carcase shall be un- clean until the even. 29. These also shall be unclean unto you among the Creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind, 30. And the ferret, and the chame- leon, and the lizard, and the snail, and the mole. 31. These are unclean to you among all that creep: whosoever doth touch them, when they be dead, shall be unclean until the even. 32. And upon whatsoever any of them, when they are dead, doth fall, it shall be unclean; whether it be any vessel of wood, or raiment, or skin, or sack, whatsoever vessel it be, wherein any work is done, it must be put into water, and it shall be un- clean until the even ; so it shall be cleansed. 33. And every earthen vessel, whereunto any of them falleth, whatsoever is in it shall be unclean; and yeshall break it. 34. Of all meat which may be eaten, that on which such water cometh shall be unclean: and all drink that may be drunk in every such 1231 SANITATION.—Food. vessel shall be unclean. 35. And every thing whereupon any part of their carcase falleth shall be unclean ; whether it be oven, or ranges for pots, they shall be broken down: for they are unclean, and shall be unclean unto you. 36. Nevertheless a fountain or pit, wherein there is plenty of water, shall be clean : but that which toucheth their car- case shall be unclean. 37. And if any part of their carcase fall upon any Sowing Seed which is to be sown, it shall be clean. 38. But if any water be put upon the Seed, and any part of their carcase fall thereon, it shall be unclean unto you. 39. And if any beast, of which ye may eat, die; he that toucheth the carcase thereof shall be un- clean until the even. 40. And he that eateth of the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even : he also that beareth the carcase of it shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until the even. 41. And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination ; it shall not be eaten. 42. Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abom- ination. 43. Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be de- filed thereby. 46. This is the law of the beasts, and of the fowl, and of every living creature that moveth in the waters, and of every creature that creepeth upon the earth : 47. To make a difference between the un- clean and the clean, and between the beast that may be eaten and the beast that may not be eaten. Lev. 17:10. And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that Sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11. For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your Souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. 12. Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No Soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood. 13. And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. 14. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: who- soever eateth it shall be cut off. 15. And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even : then shall he be clean. Lev. 19:5. And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it at your own will. 6. It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow : and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire. 7. And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abomina- ble ; it shall not be accepted. 8. Therefore every one that eateth it shall bear his in- iquity, because he hath profaned the hal- lowed thing of the LORD : and that Soul shall be cut off from among his people. 26. Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: Lev. 22:8. That which dieth of itself, or is torn with beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself there with: Deut. 12:16. Only ye shall not eat the blood ; ye shall pour it upon the earth as water. 20. When the LORD thy God shall enlarge thy border, as he hath promised thee, and thou shalt say, I will eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh; thou mayest eat flesh, whatsoever thy Soul lust- eth after. 21. If the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to put his name there be too far from thee, then thou shalt kill of thy herd and of thy flock, which the LORD hath given thee, as I have commanded thee, and thou shalt eat in thy gates whatsoever thy soul lusteth after. 22. Even as the roe- buck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them : the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike. 23. Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and thou mayest not eat the life with the flesh. 24. Thou shalt not eat it ; thou shalt pour it upon the earth as water. 25. Thou shalt not eat it ; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the sight. of the LORD. Deut. 15:22,23. Deut. 14:3. Thou shalt not eat any abom- inable thing. 4. These are the beasts which ye shall eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat, 5. The hart, and the roebuck, and the fal- low deer, and the wild goat, and the py- garg, and the wild ox, and the chamois. 6. And every beast that parteth the hoof, and cleaveth the cleft into two claws, and cheweth the cud among the beasts, that ye shalleat. 7. Nevertheless these ye shall not eat of them that chew the cud, or of them that divide the cloven hoof: as the camel, and the hare, and the coney : for they chew the cud, but divide not the hoof; therefore they are unclean unto you. 8. And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase. 9. These ye shall eat of all that are in the waters: all that have fins and Scales shall ye eat: 10. And whatsoever hath not fins and scales ye may not eat ; it is unclean unto you. 11. Of all clean birds ye shall eat. 12. But these 1232 SANITATION.—GLUTTONY–PENALTIES CONCERNING—QUARANTINE. are they of which ye shall not eat : the eagle, and the Ossifrage, and the Ospray, 13. And the glede, and the kite, and the vul- ture after his kind, 14. And every raven after his kind, 15. And the owl, and the night hawk, and the cuckow, and the hawk after his kind, 16. The little Owl, and the great owl, and the swan, 17. And the peli- Can, and the gier eagle, and the cormorant, 18. And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat. 19. And every creeping thing that flieth is unclean unto you: they shall not be eaten. 20. But of all clean fowls ye may eat. 21. Ye shall not eat of any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that is in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien : for thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not Seethe a kid in his mother's milk. 26. And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for Oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household, GLUTTONY, DISEASE RESULTING FROM: Num. 11:18. And say thou unto the people, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow, and ye shall eat flesh: for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, Who shall give us flesh to eat 2 for it was well with us in Egypt : therefore the LORD will give you flesh, and ye shalleat. 19. Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days; 20. But even a whole month, until it come Out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: 31. And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth. 32. And the people stood up all that day, and all that night, and all the next day, and they gath- ered the quails: he that gathered least gathered ten homers: and they spread them. all abroad for themselves round about the camp. 33. And while the flesh was yet be- tween their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD Smote the people with a very great plague. PENALTIES CONCERNING: I) out. 28:15. But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day : that all these curses shall come upon thee, and Overtake thee: 21. The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. 22. The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflamma- tion, and with an extreme burning, and with the Sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish. 27. The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. 35. The LORD shalt Smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that can not be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. 45. Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed ; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORDthy God, tokeep his commandments and his statutes which he Commanded thee: 59. Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy Seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and Sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. 60. Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. 61. Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the IORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. 62. And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God. QUARANTINE: Lev. 13:2. When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright Spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy ; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests: 3. And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hairin the plague is turned white, and the plaguein sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy ; and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean. 4. If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeperthan the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white ; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days: 5. And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, Čf the plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin ; then the priest shall shut him up Seven days more: 31. And if the priest look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall Seven days: 32. And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague : and, behold, Žf the Scall spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall be not in sight deeper than the skin; 33. He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave : and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more : 45. And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall (78) 1233 SANITATION.—REST ENJOINED. * ... - * * > cry, Unclean, unclean. .. 46. .

This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest : 3. And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, ºf the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper; , 8. And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days. 34. When ye become into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a posses- sion, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession ; 35. And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house : 36. Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house : 37. And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall; 38. Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house Seven days: Lev. 15:19. And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. Num. 5:2. Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and who- soever is defiled by the dead: 3. Both male and female shall ye put out, without the camp shall ye put them ; that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell. Num. 31:11. And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of beasts. 12. And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses, and Elea- zar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel, unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho. 13. And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the con- gregation, went forth to meet them with- out the camp. 14. And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the cap- tains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle. 15. And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive 2 16. Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congrega- tion of the LORD. 17. Now therefore kill every male among the little Ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. 18. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. 19. And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and your cap- tives on the third day, and on the seventh day. 20. And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood. Deut. 23:10. If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of unclean- ness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp : 11. But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again. INSTANCES OF : Num. 12:10. And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. 14. And the LORD said unto Moses, If her father had but spit in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again. 15. And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days: and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again. 2 Kin. 7:3. And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: 2 Kin. 15:5. And the LORD Smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a Several house. 2 Chr. 26:21.

But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, northy son, northy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the Sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sab- bath day, and hallowed it. Ex. 31:13. Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep : for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth Sanc- tify you. 14. Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work there- in, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 15. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD : whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall 1234 SANITATION.—REST ENJOINED.

It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. Ex. 34:21.

Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that Sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death : the people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3. And I will set my face against that man, and will cut him off from among his people; because he hath given of his seed unto Molech, to defile my Sanctuary, and to profane my holy name. 4. And if the people of the land do any ways hide their eyes from the man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, and kill him not : 5. Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people. 6. And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar Spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people. , 10. And the man that com- mitteth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. 11. And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 12. And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death : they have wrought confusion ; their blood shall be upon them. 13. If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. 14. And if a man take a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burnt with fire, both he and they; that there be no wickedness among you. 15. And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast. 16. And if a woman ap- proach unto any beast, and lie down there- to, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast : they shall surely be put to death ; their blood shall be upon them. 17. And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness; it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people: he hath un- covered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity. 18. And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath dis- covered her fountain, and she hath uncov- ered the fountain of her blood; and both of them shall be cut off from among their peo- ple. 19. And thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister, nor of thy father's sister: for he uncovereth his near kin: they shall bear their iniquity. 20. And if a man shall lie with his uncle's wife, he hath uncovered his uncle's naked- ness: they shall bear their sin ; they shall die childless. 21. And if a man shall take his brother's wife, it is an unclean thing: he hath uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless. Deut. 27:20. Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt. 21. Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. 22. Cursed be he that lieth with his sister, the daugh- ter of his father, or the daughter of his mother. 23. Cursed be he that lieth with his mother in law. - WENEREAL DISEASES: TeV. 15:2. When any man hath a running issue out of his flesh, because of his issue he is unclean. 3. And this shall be his uncleanness in his issue: whether his flesh run with his issue, 1236 SANITATION. SARAH. or his flesh be stopped from his issue, it is his uncleanness. 4. Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean. 5. And whosoever toucheth his bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe him- self in water, and be unclean until the even. 6. And he that sitteth on any thing where- on he sat that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in Water, and be unclean until the even. 7. And he that toucheth the flesh of him that hath the issue shall wash his clothes, and bathe hºm- self in water, and be unclean until the even. 8. And if he that hath the issue Spit upon him that is clean; then he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 9. And what sad- dle soever he rideth upon that hath the issue shall be unclean. 10. And whosoever toucheth any thing that was under him shall be unclean until the even ; and he that beareth any of those things shall wash his clothes, and bathe/timself in water, and be unclean until the even. 11. And whom- soever he toucheth that hath the issue, and hath not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 12. And the vessel of earth, that he touch- eth which hath the issue, shall be broken: and every vessel of wood shall be rinsed in water. 13. And when he that hathan issue is cleansed of his issue ; then he shall num- ber to himself seven days for his cleansing, and wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in running water, and shall be clean. 16. And if any man's Seed of copulation go out from him then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. 17. And every garment, and every skin, where- on is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. 18. The woman also with whom man shall lie with seed of copulation, they shall both bathe themselves in water, and be unclean until the even. 19. And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and who- soever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. 20. And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be un- clean : every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. 21. And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean un- til the even. 22. And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. 23. And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sit- teth, when he toucheth it, he shall be un- clean until the even. 24. And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be un- clean. 25. And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation ; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation : she shall be un- clean. 26. Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation. 27. And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean un- til the even. 28. But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself Seven days, and after that she shall be clean. 31. Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they de- file my tabernacle that is among them. 32. This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled there with ; 33. And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is un- clean. - Tev. 22:4. What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath a running is- Sue ; he shall not eat of the holy things, un- til he be clean. And whoso toucheth any thing that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him ; 6. The soul which hath touched any such shall be un- clean until even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he wash his flesh with water. WOMEN IN CHILDBIRTH: Lev. 12:2. If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean Seven days; according to the days of the separa- tion for her infirmity shall she be unclean. 4. And she shall then Continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled. 5. But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation : and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying three- Score and six days.

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the gar- den 3 4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 5. For God doth know that in the day yeeat there- of, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. 14. And the LORD God said unto the Ser- pent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field : upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 15. And I will put enmity be- tween thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 1 Chr. 21:1. And Satan stood up against ºl. and provoked David to number Is- I’8,621. Job 1:6. Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. 7. And the TORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and Said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. 9. Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought 2 10. Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side 2 thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is in- creased in the land. 11. But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face. 12. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. Job 2:3. And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without 1238 SATAN.—UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. cause. 4. And Satan answered the LORD, and Said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. 5. But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. 6. And the LORD Said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life. 7. So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and Smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his CI’OWI). Job 9:24.

Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand. Zech. 3:1. And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. 2. And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked Out of the fire? - Matt. 4:1. Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5. Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him On a pinnacle of the temple, 6. And Saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 7. Jesus said unto him, It is writ- ten again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8. Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them ; 9. And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10. Then Saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. Mark 1:13: Luke 4:1–13. Matt. 13:19. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catch- eth away that which was sown in his heart. [Mark 4:15; Luke 8:12.] 38. The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one ; 39. The enemy that sowed them is the devil; Matt. 25:41. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Mark 3:22. And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelze- bub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he Out devils. 23. And he called them wºn to him, and Said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan? 24. And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26. And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. Matt. 9:34; Luke 11:15,18. Luke 10:18. And he said unto them, I be- held Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Luke 13:16. And Ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day ? Luke 22:31. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat : 53. When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. John 8:38. I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 41. Ye do the deeds of your father. 44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, be- cause there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 12:31. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. John 13:2. And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; 27. After the sop Satan entered into him. John 14:30. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world com- eth, and hath nothing in me. John 16:11. Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. Acts 5:3. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Acts 13:10. And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thow child of the devil, thow enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the LOrd? Acts 26:18. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inher- itance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Rom, 16:20. And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. 1 Cor. 7:5. I)efraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; 1239 SATAN. and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. 2 Cor. 2:11. Lest Satan should get an ad- vantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 2 Cor. 4:4. In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which be- lieve not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 2 Cor. 11:3. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 14. For Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. 2 Cor. 12:7. There was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buf- fet me, lest I should be exalted above meas- Uli”é. Eph. 2:2. Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, ac- cording to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the chil- dren of disobedience: Eph. 4:27. Neither give place to the devil. Eph. 6:11. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13. Wherefore take unto you the whole ar- mour of God, that ye may be able to with- stand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, where with ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Col. 1:13. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: Col. 2:15. Having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them open- ly, triumphing over them in it. 1 Thess. 2:18. Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again: but Satan hindered us. - 1 Thess. 3:5. For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by Some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain. 2 Thess. 2:9. Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 1 Tim. 1:20. Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blas- pheme. 1 Tim. 3:6. Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7. Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the Snare of the devil. 1 Tim. 5:15. For some are already turned aside after Satan. 2 Tim. 2:26. And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. Heb. 2:14. Forasmuch then as the chil- dren are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; Jas. 4:7. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 1 Pet. 5:8. Be Sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, Seeking whom he may de- vour: 9. Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are ac- complished in your brethren that are in the world. 2 Pet. 2:4. For if God spared not the an- gels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 1 John 2:13. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome the wicked one. 1 John 3:8. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works Of the devil. 10. In this the Children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: 12. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked One, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him 2 Because his Own works were evil, and his brother's right- €OULS. 1 John 5:18. He that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one touch- eth him not. Jude 6. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habita- tion, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 9. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. |Rev. 2:9. I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. [Rev. 3:9.] 10. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a Crown of life. 13. I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful mar- tyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. 24. But unto you I say, and unto l:40 SATAN, SCHOOL. the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; Rev. 9:11. They had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abad- don, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon. Rev. 12:9. And the great dragon was cast Out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast Out with him. 10. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come Salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. 12. Therefore rejoice, gye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and Of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he know- eth that he hath but a short time. Rev. 20:1. I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2. And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should de- ceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season. 7. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 8. And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: 10. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and €Ver”. See DEMONS. SATIRE.

SCOFFING: 2 Chr. 30:6. So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria. 7. And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see. 8. Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and en- ter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanc- tified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you. 9. For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him. 10. So the posts passed from city to city through the coun- try of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun : but they laughed them to Scorn, and mocked them. 2 Chr. 36:16. But they mocked the mes- sengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy. Job 21:14. Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. 15. What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and º profit should we have, if we pray unto im 2 Job 34.7. What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water? Fsa. 1:1. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand- eth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the Seat of the scornful. Psa. 42:3. My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? v. 10. Psa. 73:11. They say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High 2 I’sa. 78:19. Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? 20. Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed Out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also 8 can he provide flesh for his people : Psa. 107:11. Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the coun- sel of the most High: 12. Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help. Prov. 1:22. How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity ? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge ; 25. But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my re- proof: Prov. 3:34. Surely he scorneth the scorn- ers: but he giveth grace unto the lowly. Prov. 9:12. If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it. Prov. 13:1. A wise son heareth his father's instruction: but a scorner heareth not re- buke. Prov. 14:6. A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: 9. Fools make a mock at sin: Prov. 19:29. Judgments are prepared for Scorners, and stripes for the back of fools. Prov. 21:11. When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise : 24. Proud and haughty Scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath. Prov. 22:10. Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and re- proach shall cease. Prov. 24:9. The thought of foolishness is sin: and the Scorner is an abomination to IQ6AEIl. . Isa. 5:18. Woe unto them . . . 19. That Say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the coun- sel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it / 24. Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust : because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and de- spised the word of the Holy One of Israel. 25. Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and * smitten them: and the hills did trem- e, Isa. 10:15. Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth there with ? Or shall the saw magnify itself against him that shak- eth it 2 as if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood. Isa. 29:20. For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off: Isa. 57:4.

Jerusalem remembered in the days of her affliction and of her miseries all her pleasant things that she had in the days of old, when her people fell into the hand of the enemy, and none did help her: the adversaries saw her, and did mock at her sabbaths. Ezek. 8:12. Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery 3 for they say, The LORD Seeth us not ; the LORD hath forsaken the earth. Ezek. 9:9. The iniquity of the house of Is- rael and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of per- verseness: for they say, The LORD hath for- Saken the earth, and the LORD Seeth not. Ezek. 11:2. Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise mis- chief, and give wicked counsel in this city : 3. Which say, It is not near ; let us build houses: this city is the caldron, and we be the flesh. Ezek. 12:22. Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth ? Ezek. 33:20. Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hos. 7:5. In the day of our king the princes have made him sick with bottles of wine ; he stretched out his hand with SCOTIlêI’S. Matt. 12:24. When the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out dev- ils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the dev- ils. Mark 3:22; Luke 11:15. Luke 4:23. And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Phy- sician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. Luke 16:14. And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. Acts 2:13. Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. Acts 13:45. But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blas- pheming. Acts 17:18. Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encoun- tered him. And Some Said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resur- rection. 32. And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter. Heb. 10:29. Of how much sorer punish- ment, supposeye, shall he bethought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the Covenant, where with he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 2 Pet. 3:3.

For God shall bring every Workinto judgment, with every Secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Dan. 2:28. But there is a God in heaven that revealeth Secrets, 47. The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of Secrets, seeing thou couldest re- veal this Secret. Amos 3:7. Surely the Lord GOD . . . revealeth his Secret unto his servants the prophets. Mark 4:22. For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept Secret, but that it should come abroad. Luke 8:16. No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or put- teth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may See the light. 17. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest ; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and Come abroad. Rom. 2:16. In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. 1 Cor. 4:5. Therefore judge nothing be- fore the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the Coun- sels of the heart: and then shall every man have praise of God. IIeb. 4:12. For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two- edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. See MYSTERY.

Job 5:8. I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: Job 8:5. If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty; 6. If thou wert pure and up- right: Surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteous- ness prosperous. Psa. 9:10. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. Psa. 14:2.

Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who shall stand in his holy place? 4. He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart ; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his sal- vation. 6. This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Psa. 25:5.

Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD ; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. - |Psa. 27:4. One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after : that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple. 8.

Wait on the LORD : be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart : wait, I say, on the LORD. Psa. 33:20. Our soul waiteth for the LORD : he is our help and our shield. Psa. 34:4. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. 10. The young lions do lack, and Suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. Psa. 40:1. I waited patiently for the LORD : and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and Set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. 3. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. 4. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. Psa. 42:1. As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my Soul after thee, O God. 2. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and ap- pear before God? 3. My tears have been my meat day and night, while they con- tinually say unto me, Where is thy God? 4. When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. Psa. 63:1. O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; 2. To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. 3. Because thy lov- ingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee. 4. Thus will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. 5. My Soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips: 6. When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches. 7. Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. 8. My soul fol- loweth hard after thee: thy right hand up- holdeth me. Psa. 69:32. The humble shall see this, and º ºad : and your heart shall live that seek O Psa. 70:4. Let all those that seek thee re- joice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy Salvation say continually, Let God be magnified. 5. But I am poor and needy; make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying. Psa. 77:1. I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice; and he gave ear unto me. 2. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not : my soul refused to be com- forted. 3. I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. 4. Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I can- not speak. 5. I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times. 6. I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. 7. Will the Lord cast off for ever ? and will he be fa- vourable no more ? 8. Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for ever- more? 9. Hath God forgotten to be gra- cious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? Psa. 78:34. When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and inquired early after God. Psa. 81:10.

My Soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD : my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living GOd. Psa.105:4. Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. Psa. 119:2. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. 10. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Psa. 130:5. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. 6. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morn- ling. Psa. 143:6. I stretch forth my hands unto thee: my soul thirsteth after thee, as a thirsty land. Psa. 145:18. The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. 19. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him : he also will hear their cry, and will save them. Prov. 2:3. Yea, if thou Criest after knowl- edge, and liftest up thy voice for under- standing ; 4. If thou Seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5. Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. Prov. 8:17. Those that seek me early shall find me. 34. Blessed is the man that hear- eth me, watching daily at my gates, wait- ing at the posts of my doors. Prov. 28:5. They that seek the LORD un- derstand all things. Song 3:1. By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth : I sought him, but I found him not. 2. I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth : I sought him, but I found him not. 3. The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth ? 4. It was but a lit- tle that I passed from them, but I found him 1246 SEEKERS. whom my soul loveth : I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me. Isa. 8:19. Should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead : Isa. 26:8. Yea, in the way of thy judg- ments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee. 9. With my soul have I desired thee in the night : yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early : Isa. 44:3. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring : 4. And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses. Isa. 45:19. I have not spoken in Secret, in a dark place of the earth : I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye mein vain : I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right. 22. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth : for I am God, and there is none else. Isa. 49:9. That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth : to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places. 10. They shall not hunger nor thirst ; neither shall the heat nor Sun Smite them : for he that hath mercy on them shall lead them, even by the springs of water shall he guide them. 11. And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted. 12. Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west ; and these from the land of Sinim. 23. They shall not be ashamed that wait for me. Isa. 51:1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD : look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. Isa. 55:6. Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Isa. 59:20. And the Redeemer shall COme to Zion, and unto them that turn from trans- gression in Jacob, saith the LORD. Isa. 61:1. The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek: he hath sent me to bind up the broken- hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound: 2. To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn: 3. To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the plant- ing of the LORD, that he might be glorified. Jer. 29:13. And ye shall seek me, and find one, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Jer. 42:3.

All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be men- tioned unto him : in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. 23. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? Dan. 9:3. I set my face unto the Iord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: HOS. 3:5. Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king ; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days. Hos. 5:15.

And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. Amos 5:4. For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live: 5. But seek not Beth-el, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beer-sheba: for Gil- gal shall surely go into captivity, and Beth-el shall come to nought. 6. Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Beth-el. 8. Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name: 14.

And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also. 22. Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusa- lem, and to pray before the LORD. 23. Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you : for we have heard that God is with you. Matt. 5:6. Blessed are they which do hun- ger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Matt. 6:33. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Luke 6:21. Blessed are ye that hunger now : for ye shall be filled. Luke 11:9. And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; Seek, and ye shall find ; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. [Matt. 7:7–12.] 10. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh find- eth ; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone 2 or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent ? 12. Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children; how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him 3 Duke 13:24. Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I Say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. Tuke 14:26. If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my dis- ciple. 27. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28. For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it 2 29. Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish 7t, all that behold it begin to mock him, 30. Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. 31. Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth wheth- er he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thou- Sandº 32. Or else, while the Other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. 33. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that for- Saketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 16:16. The law and the prophets were until John : since that time the king- dom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. John 6:37. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast Out. Acts 2:21. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 17:27. That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: Rom. 3:11. There is none that understand- eth, there is none that seeketh after God. Rom. 10:13. For whosoever shall Call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Heb. 7:25. Wherefore he is able also to Save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Heb. 9:28. SO Christ was Once Offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto Salvation. Heb. 11:6. But without faith it is impos- sible to please him : for he that Cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jas. 4:8. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. |Rev. 3:20. Behold, Istand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Rev. 21:6. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. - *. Rev. 22:17. And the Spirit and the bride Say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. See BACKSLIDERS: PENITENTs; SIN, CON- FESSION OF : FORGIVENESS OF. INSTANCES OF: Asa, 2 Chr. 14.7.

If any man trespass against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to Swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house : 32. Then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and justi- fying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness. Job 9:20. If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. Prov. 5:12. How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof; 13. And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instruct- ed me ! Matt. 23:31. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Matt. 25:24. Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: [Luke 19:21, 22.] 25. And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth : lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26. His lord answered and said unto him, Thow wicked and sloth- ful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed : 27. Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and them at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. Mark 12:1. And he began to speak unto them by parables. A certain man planted a vineyard, and set an hedge about it, and digged a place for the winefat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country. 2. And at the sea. son he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruit of the vineyard. 3. And they caught him, and beat him, and sent him away empty. 4. And again he sent unto them another servant; and at him they cast stones, and wounded him in the head, and sent him away shamefully handled. 5. And again he sent another; and him they killed, and many others; beating some, and killing some. 6. Having yet therefore one son, his wellbeloved, he sent him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son. 7. But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir ; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be our's. 8. And they took him, and killed him, and cast him out of the vineyard. 9. What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others. 10. And have ye not read this scripture; The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corner: 11. This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 12. And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people : for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way. Matt. 21:33–41. John 8:9. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out One by One, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last : and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

And the king said unto Arau- nah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offer- ings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. Psa. 132:3. Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; 4. I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, 5. Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob. Prov. 16:32. He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty ; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. Prov. 23:2. Put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. Dan. 10:3. I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled. Matt. 5:29. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy mem- bers 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. Mark 9:43. Matt. 8:19. And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. 20. And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests: but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. [Luke 9:57,58.] 21. And another of his dis- ciples said unto him, Lord, Suffer me first to go and bury my father. 22. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead. Tuke 9:59,60. Matt. 10:37. He that loveth father Or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth Son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39. He that find- eth his life shall lose it : and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Matt. 13:44. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hid- eth, and for joy thereof goeth and Selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. 45. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, Seeking goodly pearls: 46. Who, when he had found One pearl of great price, went and Sold all that he had, and bought it. Matt. 16:24. Then said Jesus unto his dis- ciples, If any many will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his croSS, and follow me. 25. For whosoever will Save his life shall lose it : and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. Mark 8:34,35; Luke 9:23,24. Matt. 18:8. Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to en- ter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. 9. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. Mark 9:43. Matt. 19:12. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb : and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men ; and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eu- nuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive 7t. 21.

And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him. 27. And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom ; and he said unto him, Follow me. Mark 2:14. Luke 14:26. If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. 27.

Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. 4. Luke 21:2. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4. For all these have of their abun- dance cast in unto the offerings of God : but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had. Mark 12:43,44. John 12:25. He that loveth his life shall lose it ; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. Matt. 16:25; Mark 8:35. Acts 20:22. And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: 23. Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me. 24. But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto my- self, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have re- ceived of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gos- pel of the grace of God. Acts 21:13. Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart 2 for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Tord Jesus. Rom. 6:6. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. Rom. 8:12. Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ'? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword 2 36. As it is written, For thy salve we are killed all the day long ; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Rom. 13:14. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. |Bom. 14:1. Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 2. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. 3. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not ; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth : for God hath re- ceived him. 4. Who art thou that judgest another man's Servant 2 to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up : for God is able to make him stand. 5. One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. 6. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord ; and he that re- gardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 7. For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to him. self. 8. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord ; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 9. For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 10. But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. 12. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 13. Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stum- blingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way. 14. "I know, and am per- suaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15. But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 16. Tet not then your good be evil spoken of: 17. For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18. For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 19. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things where with one may edify another. 20. For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. 21. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22. Hast thou faith ? have it to thyself be- fore God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he allow- eth. Rom. 15:1. We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2. Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edifica- tion. 3. For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. 4. For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scrip- tures might have hope. 5. Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be 1251 SET,E-DEN IAL-INSTANCES OF". likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: 1 Cor. 6:12. All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient : all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 1 Cor. 8:10. For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's tem- ple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 11. And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother per- ish, for whom Christ died? 12. But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 13. Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend. 1 Cor. 9:12. If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Never- theless we have not used this power ; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ. 15. I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. 18. What is my reward then 2 Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. 19. For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. 23. This I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with gow. 25. Every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly ; SO fight I, not as one that beateth the air : 27. But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjec- tion: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a Castaway. 1 Cor. 10:23. All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. 24. Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. 2 Cor. 6:3. Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: Gal. 2:20. I am Crucified with Christ : nevertheless I live: yet not I, but Christ liv- eth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal. 5:16. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 24. And they that are Christ's have cruci- fied the flesh with the affections and lusts. Gal. 6:14. But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the World. Phil. 2:4. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Phil. 3:7. But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them bºtt dung, that I may win Christ, 9. And be found in him, not having mine Own right- eousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: Col. 3:5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth ; fornication, un- cleanness, inordinate affection, evil con- cupiscence, and coveteousness, which is idolatry: 2 Tim. 2:4. No man that warreth entan- gleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. Tit. 2:12. Teaching us that, denying un- godliness and worldly lusts, we should live SOberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; - Heb. 13:13. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his re- proach. - 1 Pet. 2:11. Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul: 12. Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they Speak against you as evildoers, they may by govºr good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. 13. Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme ; 14. Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. 15. For SO is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 16. As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the Servants Of GOd. 1 Pet. 4:1. Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind : for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin ; 2. That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 3 John 7.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up histop among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height; 11. I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness. 12. And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him. 13. Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches: 14. To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit. Obad. 3. The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high : that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? 4.

And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them, 8. When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room ; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; 9. And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. 10. But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. 11.

And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and Said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, see- ing all the congregation are holy, every One of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD? Deut. 9:4. Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my right- eousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee. 5. Not for thy righteous- ness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 6. Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people. 1 Sam. 2:9. He will keep the feet of his Saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man pre- Vail. Job 6:13. Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me? Job 11:4. For thou hast said, My doctrine Žs pure, and I am clean in thine eyes. , 5. But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee; 6. And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they a ye double to that which is Know there- fore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth. Job 12:2. No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you. Job 13:3. Surely I would speak to the Al- mighty, and I desire to reason with God. 13. Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will. 15. Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. 18. Behold now, I have Ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified. 19. Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the host. Job 16:17. Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure. 18. O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place. Job 18:2. How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak. 3. Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight 2 4. He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place? Job 21:27. Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully im- agine against me. 28. For ye say, Where 7s the house of the prince 2 and where are the dwelling places of the wicked ?. 29. Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens, Job 22:2. Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself? 3. Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect 2 Job 32:1. So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. 2. Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God. Job 33:8. Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying, 9. I am clean without trans- gression, I am innocent; neither is there in- iquity in me. Job 35:2. Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? 7. If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? Or what receiveth he o thine hand? 8. Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the Son of man. Psa. 10:5. His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them. 6. He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in ad- versity. Prov. 12:15. The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. - Prov. 14:12. There is a way which seem- eth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Prov. 16:2. All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the LORD weigh- eth the spirits. - Prov. 20:6. Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find? Prov. 21:2. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts. Prov. 25:14. Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind, without rain. 27. It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory. 1255 SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS. Prov. 26:12. Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him. Prov. 27.2. Let another man praise thee, and not thine Own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips. 21. As the fining pot for silver, and the furnace for gold; SO is a man to his praise. Prov. 28:13. He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy. 26. He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be de- livered. Prov. 30:12. There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. 13. There is a genera- tion, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up. Isa. 5:21. Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight l Isa. 28:17. Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. 20. The bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it: and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it. Isa. 47:7. And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it. Isa. 50:11. Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in Sorrow. Isa. 64:6. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; Isa. 65:3. A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacri- ficeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick; 4. Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abom- inable things is in their vessels; 5. Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a Smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. Jer. 2:13. For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the foun- tain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. 22. For though thou wash thee with nitre [lye, R. V.], and take thee much Sope, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, Saith the Lord GOD. 23. How Canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim 2 see thy way in the val- ley, know what thou hast done: 34. Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by Secret search, but upon all these. 35. Yet thou Sayest, Because I am innocent, Surely his anger shall turn from me. Be- hold, I will plead with thee, because thou Sayest, I have not sinned. Jer. 7:4. Trust ye not in lying words, say- ing, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, The temple of the LORD, are these. Jer. 8:8. How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? LO, certainly in vain made he it ; the pen of the scribes is in vain. Jer. 17:5. Thus saith the LORD ; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD. Jer. 49:4. Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me? 16. Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, Saith the LORD. Ezek. 33:24. Son of man, they that in- habit those wastes of the land of Israel Speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance. 25. Where- fore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land? 26. Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomi- nation, and ye defile every one his neigh- bour's wife: and shall ye possess the land 7 Hos. 12:8. And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out sub- stance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin. Amos 6:13. Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength ? Hab. 2:4. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. Zeph. 3:11. In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain. Matt. 7:22. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name 2 and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many won- derful works? 23. And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you : depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matt. 9:10. And it came to pass, as Jesus Sat at meat in the house, behold, many pub- licans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. 11. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans 1256 SELE-RIGHTEOUSINESS. and sinners? 12. But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. 13. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sin- ners to repentance. Mark 2:16; Luke 5:30. Matt. 16:6. Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Saddu- Cees. Mark 8:15. Matt. 19:16. And, behold, one came and Said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life 8 17. And he said unto him, Why call- est, thou me good? there is none good but One, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not Commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou Shalt, not bear false witness, 19. Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 20. The young man Saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up; what lack I yet 2 21. Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. 22. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Mark 10:17–22; Luke 18:18–23. Matt. 22:12. Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment” And he was speechless. 13. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into Outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Matt. 23:29. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the Sepulchres of the righteous, 30. And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets. 31. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets. Luke 7:36. And One of the Pharisees de- sired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. 37. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Phari- See's house, brought an alabaster box of Ointment, 38. And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the Ointment. 39. Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him : for she is a sin- ner. 40. And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. 41. There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the One owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. 42. And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most 2 43. Simon an- Swered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. 44. And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman 2 I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. 45. Thou gavest me no kiss; but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. 46. My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. 47. Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much : but to whom little is forgiven, the same lov- eth little. 48. And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. 49. And they that sat at meat with him began to say within them- selves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? 50. And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath Saved thee; go in peace. Luke 10:25. And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 26. He said unto him, What is written in the law Ż how readest thou? 27. And he an- swering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy Soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. 28. And he said unto him, Thou hast an- Swered right : this do, and thou shalt live. 29. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 30. And Jesus answering said, A certain man. went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and de- parted, leaving him half dead. 31. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 34. And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and what- soever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 36. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? 37. And he said, He that shewed mercy on him, 1257 SELF-IRIGITTFOITSNESS.—INSTANCES OF, Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. Luke 15:2. The Pharisees and scribes mur- mured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them. 25. Now his elder son was in the field : and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. 26. And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. 27. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and Sound. 28. And he was angry, and would not go in : therefore came his father out, and intreated him. 29. And he answering said to his father, LO, these many years do I serve thee, neither trans- gressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: 30. But as Soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with har- lots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. 31. And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. 32. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad : for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. Luke 16:14. And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. 15. And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. Luke 18:9. And he spake this parable un- to certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10. Two men went up into the temple to pray ; the One a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as Other men are, extortioners, un- just, adulterers, or even as this publican. 12. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, Saying, God be merciful to me a Sinner. 14. I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased ; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. John 9:34. They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. 39. And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might See; and that they which see might be made blind. 40. And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also 3 41. Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin : but now ye Say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth. Rom. 2:17. Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, 18. And knowest his will, and ap- provest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law ; 19. And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, 20. An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. Rom. 3:27. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Rom. 10:3. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to es- tablish their own righteousness, have not Submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. Rom. 11:19. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21. For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 2 Cor. 1:9. But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead. 2 Cor. 10:17. But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 18. For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth. Gal. 6:3. For if a man think himself to be Something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. Rev. 3:17. Because thou Sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: 18. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou may- est be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest See.

And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face. 7. And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur. 8. And he Said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai. 9. And the angel of the LORD Said 1260 SERVANT.-UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO BOND. unto her, Return to thy mistress, and sub- mit thyself under her hands. Ex. 20:10. But the seventh day is the Sab- bath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy Son, northy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maid- Servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy Stranger that is within thy gates. Deut. 5:14. Neh. 5:8. And I said unto them, We, after our ability, have redeemed our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen ; and will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? Then held they their peace, and found nothing to a/v- S206.7°. Job 19:15. They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. 16. I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I in- treated him with my mouth. Job 31:13. If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me; 14. What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him? Psa. 123:2. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD Our God, until that he have mercy upon us. Prov. 12:9. He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread. Brov. 13:17. A wicked messenger falleth into mischief : but a faithful ambassador is health. Prov. 17:2. A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren. Prov. 19:10. Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes. Prov. 25:13. As the COld Of Snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him : for he refresheth the Soul of his masters. Prov. 26:6. He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage. Prov. 27:18. Whoso keepeth the fig tree shall eat the fruit thereof: so he that waiteth. On his master shall be honoured. 27. And thou shalt have goats' milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens, Prov. 29:19. A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer. 21. He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length. Prov. 30:10. Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty. 21. For three things the earth is disquieted, and for four which it cannot bear: 22. For a servant when he reigneth ; and a fool when he is filled with meat ; 23. For an odious woman when she is married; and an handmaid that is heir to her mistress. Eccl. 7:21. Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hearthy Servant Curse thee: Isa. 52:3. For thus saith the LORD, Ye have Sold yourselves for nought ; and ye shall be redeemed without money. Jer. 22:13. Woe unto him that buildeth his house by unrighteousness, and his cham- bers by wrong; that useth his neighbour's Service without wages, and giveth him not for his work; Jer. 34:8. This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, after that the king Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people which were at Jerusalem, to proclaim liberty unto them; 9. That every man should let his manservant, and every man his maidservant, being an Hebrew or an Hebrewess, go free; that none should serve himself of them, to wit, of a Jew his brother. 10. Now when all the princes, and all the people, which had entered into the covenant, heard that every one should let his man- Servant, and every one his maidservant, go free, that none should serve themselves of them any more, then they obeyed, and let them go. 11. But afterward they turned, and caused the servants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free, to return, and brought them into subjection for servants and for handmaids. 12. Therefore the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, 13. Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel; I made a covenant with your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondmen, Saying, 14. At the end of seven years let ye go every man his brother an Hebrew, which hath been sold unto thee; and when he hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him go free from thee: but your fathers hearkened not unto me, neither inclined their ear. 15. And ye were now turned, and had done right in my sight, in proclaiming liberty every man to his neighbour; and ye had made a cove- nant before me in the house which is called by my name: 16. But ye turned and pol- luted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom he had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for hand. maids. 17. Therefore thus saith the LORD : Ye have not hearkened unto me, in pro- claiming liberty, every one to his brother, and every man to his neighbour: behold, I proclaim a liberty for you, saith the TORD, to the sword, to the pestilence, and to the famine; and I will make you to be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. Lam. 5:8. Servants have ruled Over us: there is none that doth deliver us out of their hand, 1261 SERVANT.-LINGLASSIFIET SCRIPTURES HELATING TO BOND. Zeph. 1:9. In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters’ houses with vio- lence and deceit. Mal. 1:6. A son honoureth his father, and a Servant his master: Matt. 8:9. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me; and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my Servant, DO this, and he doeth it. Matt. 24:45. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season ? 46. Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47. Verily I Say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming. 49. And shall begin to Smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50. The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51. And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypo- crites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Luke 12:35. Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; 36. And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knock- eth, they may open unto him immediately. 37. Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 38. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them. So, blessed are those servants. 39. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through. 40. Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not. 41. Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all ? 42. And the Lord Said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their por- tion of meat in due season? 43. Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 44. Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. 45. But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his com- ing; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; 46. The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in Sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 47. And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did ac- cording to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. 48. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten vith few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have com- mitted much, of him they will ask the more. Luke 16:1. And he said also unto his dis- ciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward ; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. 2. And he called him, and Said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee ? give an ac- count of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. 3. Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the steward- ship : I cannot dig ; to beg I am ashamed. 4. I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put Out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. 5. So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? 6. And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. 7. Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and . write fourscore. 8. And the lord Com- mended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. 9. And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habita- tions. 10. He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much : and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. 11. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches 2 12. And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own 2 13. No servant Can Serve two masters: for either he will hate the One, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye Cannot serve God and mammon. Luke 17:7. Which of you, having a ser- vant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat 7 8. And will not rather say unto him, Make ready where with I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink 2 9. Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not. Luke 22:27. For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth ? is not he that sitteth at meat 2 but I am among you as he that serveth. 1262 SERVANT.-UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO HIRED.

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. 1 Cor. 7:21. Art thou called being a serv- ant? care not for it : but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. 22. For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant. 23. Ye are bought with a price: be not ye the servants of men. 24. Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with GOd. Eph. 6:5. Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ ; 6. Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the Serv- ants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart ; 7. With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: 8. Know- ing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free. 9. And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, for- bearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him. Col. 3:22. Servants, obey in all things gyour masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in sin- gleness of heart, fearing God: 23. And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the TOrd, and not unto men; 24. Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance : for ye serve the Lord Christ. 25. But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of perSons. 1 Tim. 6:1. Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. 2. And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, be- cause they are faithful and beloved, partak- ers of the benefit. Tit. 2:9. Eachon't servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them. well in all things; not answering again; 10. Not purloining, but shewing all good fidel- ity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. 1 Pet. 2:18. Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward. 19. For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrong- fully. 20. For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently 7 but if, when ye do well, and suf- fer for it, ye take it patiently, this is ac- ceptable with God.

Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a peo- ple that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: Brov. 4:23. Keep thy heart with all dili- gence; for Out of it are the issues of life. Prov. 24:8. He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person. 9. The thought of foolishness is sin : and the scor- ner is an abomination to men. Eccl. 5:6. Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? Isa. 1:6. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying Sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. 18. Come now, and let us reason together, Saith the LORD : though your sins be as scar- let, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. Isa. 44:20. He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he can- not deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand? Jer. 7:24. But they hearkened not, nor in- clined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. Jer. 17:9. The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it 3 Ezek. 20:16. Because they despised my judgments, and Walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols. Matt. 5:28. But I say unto you, That who- SOever looketh On a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. - Matt. 12:31. Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men : but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiv- en unto men. [Mark 3:29; Luke 12:10; 1 John 5:16,17.] 33. Either make the tree good, and his fruit good ; or else make the tree cor- rupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. . [Matt. 7:17, 18.] 34. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. Luke 6:45. Matt. 13:24. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25. But while men slept, 1273 SIN.—UNCLASSIFIED SCRIPTURES RELATING TO. his enemy came and Sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way, 38. The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39. The enemy that Sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end º: the world; and the reapers are the angels. Matt. 15:2. Why do thy disciples trans- gress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. 3. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the command- ment of God by your tradition ? 4. For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. , 5. But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6. And hon- our not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the command- ment of God of none effect by your tradi- tion. 7. Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, Saying, 8. This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. 9. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the com- mandments of men. 10. And he called the multitude, and Said unto them, Hear, and understand: 11. Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. 12. Then came his disciples, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying? 13. But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not plant- ed, shall be rooted up. 14. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. 15. Then answered Peter and Said unto him, Declare unto us this parable. 16, And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding ? 17. Do not ye yet under- stand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught 2 18. But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19. For Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20. These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a Iſla, Il. John 8:34. Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I Say unto you, Whosoever commit- teth sin is the servant of sin. 44. Ye are of goºr father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he Speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Rom. 5:12. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; tº-iº • -— -------exº-sºº and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13. (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even Over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 15. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by One man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to con- demnation, but the free gift is of many of fences unto justification. 17. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18. Therefore, as by the offence of one judgment came up- on all men to condemnation; even SO by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20. More- over the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21. That as sin hath reigned unto death, even SO might grace reign through righteousness unto eter- nal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 7:7. What shall we say then ? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. 13. Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. Rom. 14:23. And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith : for whatsoever is not of faith is sin, 1 Cor. 5:6. Know ye not that a little leav- en leaveneth the whole lump? t Eph. 2:1. You hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2. Where- in in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Heb. 3:13. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you behardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Heb. 12:15. Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; - Jas. 1:14. But every manistempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and en- ticed. 15. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Jas. 2:10.

Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou #. thou art become a transgressor of the a W. Jas. 4:1. From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your mem- bers? 2. Ye lust, and have not : ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain : ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 17. Therefore to him that know- eth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is SIIls 2 Pet. 1:4. That by these ye might be par- takers of the divine nature, having escaped i. corruption that is in the world through ust. 1 John 3:4. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law : for sin is the transgression of the law. 6. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not : whosoever sin- neth hath not seen him, neither known him. 8. He that committeth sin is of the devil : for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was mani- fested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9. Whosoever is born Of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him ; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10. In this the children. Of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 15. Whosoever hateth his brother is a mur- derer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 1 John 5:17.

And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: Num. 14:40. And they rose up early in the morning, and gat them up into the top of the mountain, saying, Lo, we be here, and will go up unto the place which the LORD hath promised: for we have sinned. 2 Sam. 24:10. And David's heart Smote him after that he had numbered the people. And David said unto the LORD, I have sinned greatly in that I have done: and now, I beseech thee, O LORD, take away the iniquity of thy servant; for I have done very foolishly. 17. And David spake unto the LORD when he saw the angel that smote 11. For he that said, Do I the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and have done wickedly : but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and against my father's house. 1 Chr. 21:17. - 2 Chr. 29:6. For our fathers have tres- passed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD Our God, and have for- Saken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs. Ezra 9:4. Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the transgression of those that had been carried away; and I sat astonied until the evening sacrifice. 5. And at the evening Sacrifice I arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God, 6. And said, O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are in- creased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens. 7. Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great trespass unto this day; 10. And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, 11 Which thou hast commanded by thy serv- ants the prophets, saying, The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land with the filthiness of the people of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled it from One end to another with their uncleanness. 12. Now therefore give not your daughters unto their sons, neither take their daughters unto your Sons, nor seek their peace or their wealth for ever: that ye may be strong, and eat the good of the land, and leave it for an inheritance to your children for ever. 13. And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that thou Our God hast punished us less than our iniquities de- serve, and hast given us such deliverance as this; 14. Should we again break thy com- mandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? wouldest not thou be angry with us till thou hadst con- sumed us, so that there should be no rem- nant nor escaping? 15. O LORD God of Is- rael, thou art righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this. Neh. 1:6. Ilet thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray be- fore thee now, day and night, for the chil- dren of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins Of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee; both I and my father's house have sinned. 7. We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses. vs. 8,9. 1275 SIN. —CONFESSION OF. Neh. 9:2. And the Seed of Israel separated themselves from all strangers, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers. 3. And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of the LORD their God one fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they con- fessed, and worshipped the LORD their God. 33. Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly: 34. Neither have our kings, our princes, Our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor heark- ened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, where with thou didst testify against them. 35. For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked workS. vs. 5–38. Job 7:20. I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? Job 9:20. If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am per- fect, it shall also prove me perverse. Job 13:23. How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgres- sion and my sin. Job 40:4. Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. - Job 42:5. I have heard of thee by the hear- ing of the ear: but now mine eye Seeth thee. 6. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. Psa. 32:5. I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgresssions unto the LORD ; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Psa. 38:3. There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. 4. Formine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 18. For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. Psa. 40:11. Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD : let thy loving- kindness and thy truth continually preserve me. 12. For innumerable evils have Com- passed me about ; mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up ; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. Psa. 41:4. I said, IORD, be merciful unto #. : heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee. Psa. 51:2. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanseme from mysin. 3. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judg- est. 5. Behold, I was shapenin iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Psa. 69:5. O God, thou knowest my fool. ishness; and my sins are not hid from thee. Psa. 73:21. Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins. 22. So foolish was I, and ignorant : I was as a beast before thee. Psa. 106:6. We have sinned with Our fa- thers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. Psa. 119:59. I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. 60. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments. 176. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy Servant; Psa. 130:3. If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? Isa. 6:5. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: Isa. 26:13. O LORD Our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion overus: but by thee only will we make mention of thy Ila,IYle. Isa. 59:12. For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; 13. In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from Our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. 14. And judgment is turned away backward, and justice stand- eth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. 15. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. Isa. 64:5. Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that re- member thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is con- tinuance, and we shall be saved. 6. But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. 7. And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniq- uities. Jer. 3:21. A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have per- verted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God. 22. Return, ye back- sliding children, and I will heal your back- slidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD Our God. 25. We lie down in our shame, and our confusion cov- ereth us: for we have sinned against the TORD Our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD Our God. Jer. 8:14. Why do we sit still? assemble 1276 SIN.—CONSEQUENCES OF, ENTAILED UPON CHILDREN. yourselves, and let us enter into the de- fenced cities, and let us be silent there: for the LORD Our God hath put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD. 15. We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of health, and behold trouble! Jer. 147. O LORD, though Our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee. 20. We acknowl- edge, O LORD, our wickedness, and the iniq- uity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee. Jer. 31:18. I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chas- tised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God. 19. Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. Lam. 1:18. The LORD is righteous; for I have rebelled against his commandment: 20. Behold, O LORD ; for I am in distress: my bowels are troubled: mine heart is turned within me; for I have grievously rebelled: Lam. 3:40. Let us search and try Our ways, and turn again to the LORD. 41. Det us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens. 42. We have trans- gressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned. Dan. 9:5. We have sinned, and have com- mitted iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: 6. Neither have we hearkened unto thy serv- ants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and Our fathers, and to all the people of the land. , 8. O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to Our princes, and to Our fa- thers, because we have sinned against thee. 9. To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; 10. Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD Our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. 11. Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by depart- ing, that they might not obey thy voice: 15. And now, O Tord Our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day: we have sinned, we have done wickedly. Tuke 15:17. And when he came to him- self, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18. I will arise, and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19. And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as as One of thy hired servants. 20. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father Saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21. And the Son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 1 Cor. 15:9. I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. Jas. 5:16. Confess your faults one to an- Other, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. 1 John 1:8. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9. If we confess our sins, he is faith- ful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. CONSEQUENCES OF, ENTAILED UPON CHILDREN : Ex. 20:5. I the LORD thy God atºm a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; Ex. 34:7. Lev. 26:39. And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them. v. 40. Num. 14:33. And your children shallwan- der in the wilderness forty years, and bear your whoredoms, until your carcases be wasted in the wilderness. Job 5:4. His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them. Job 18:19. He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings. Job. 21:19. God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it. Psa. 21:10. Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. Psa. 37:28. Tor the LORD loveth judg- ment, and forsaketh not his Saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. Bsa. 109:9.

The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. - Isa. 14:20. Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. 21. Pre- pare slaughter for his children for the in- iquity of their fathers, that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. 22.

In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a SOur grape, and the children's teeth are Set on edge. 30. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the Sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. Jer. 32:18. Thou she west lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the in- iquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them : Isa. 65:7. Lam. 5:7. Our fathers have sinned, and are not ; and we have borne their iniqui- ties. Rom. 5:12. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13. (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even Over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 15. But not as the offence, SO also is the free gift. E'Or if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16. And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift : for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 17. For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abun- dance of grace and of the gift of righteous- ness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18. Therefore as by the offence of one judg- ment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19. For as by one man's disobedi- ence many were made sinners, So by the obedience of one shall many be made right- eous. 20. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21. That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. See WICKED.

And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin. 7. And if he be not able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, unto the LORD ; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering. 8. And he shall bring them unto the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder: 9. And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering. 10. And he shall offer the second for a burnt offer- ing, according to the manner: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him. - Num. 14:20.

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. 9. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10. And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 11. And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked ? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat ? 12. And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. 13. And the DORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 14.

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 16. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule Over thee. 17. And unto Adam he said, 1280 SIN.—FRUITS OF.

Therefore the TORD GOd sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 24. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. Gen. 4:9. And the LORD Said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not : Am I my brother's keeper? 10. And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. 11. And now art thou Cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand. 12. When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength ; a fugitive and a vaga- bond shalt thou be in the earth. 13. And Cain said unto the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear. 14. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth ; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that findeth me shall slay me. Gen. 6:5. And GOD saw that the wicked- ness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6.

Deut. 29:18. Test there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood; 1 Kin. 13:33. After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whosoever would, he consecrated him, and he became 0776 of the priests of the high places. 34.

Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and Sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria. 34. Thou shalt even drink it and Suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, Saith the Lord GOD. 35.

And he said, Who art thou. LOrd? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whoſ. 1282. SIN.—KNOWN TO GOD. thou persecutest : it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks. Rom. 5:12. Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13. (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even Over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 15. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by One man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16. And not as it acas by one that sinned, so is the gift : for the judgment was by one to con- demnation, but the free gift is of many of— fences unto justification. 17. For if by one man's Offence death reigned by one ; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18. There- fore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of One shall many be made righteous. 20. More- over the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21. That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Rom. 7:5. For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. 1 Cor. 3:3. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? 1 Cor. 6:9. Know ye not that the unright- eous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10. Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunk- ards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall in- herit the kingdom of God. 11. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of Our God. Gal. 5:19: Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, forni- cation, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20. Idol- atry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emula- tions, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21. Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revel- lings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not in- herit the kingdom of God. **** Gal. 6:7. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man Soweth, that Shall he also reap. 8. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption: but he that Soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 1 Pet, 4:3.

And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, Deut. 31:21.

And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground. 34. Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, yeprincipal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye Shall fall like a pleasant vessel. 35. And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape. 36. A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the prin- cipal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture. 37. And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD. 38. He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger. Jer. 46:28. Fear thou not, O Jacob my Servant, Saith the TORD : for I am with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I Will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished. Ezek. 16:49. Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. 50. And they were haughty, and committed abomi- nation before me : therefore I took them away as I saw good. Jonah 1:2. Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it ; for their wicked- ness is come up before me. See GOVERNMENT: NATIONS. INSTANCES OF: The Sodomites, Gen. 18:20.

But, Of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it : for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Gen. 3:16. Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy con- ception ; in Sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy hus- band, and he shall rule over thee. 17. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18. Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19. In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground: for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou re- turn. Gen. 4:7. If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted ? and if thou doest not well, Sir lieth at the door. 1286 SIN.—REPUGNANT TO GOD. Gen. 6:3. And the TORD Said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth ; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. Gen. 18:20. And the LORD Said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous ; Gen. 19:13. For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great be- fore the face of the LORD ; and the TORD hath sent us to destroy it. Ex. 32:33. And the TORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. 34. Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: neverthe- less in the day when Ivisit I will visit their sin upon them. Ex. 34.7. Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. Lev. 26:14. But if ye will not hearken un- to me, and will not do all these command- ments; 15. And if ye shall despise my stat- utes, or if your Soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my command- ments, but that ye break my covenant: 16. I also will do this unto you; I will even ap- point over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause Sorrow of heart: and ye shall Sow your seed in vain, for your ene- mies shall eat it. 17. And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pur- sueth you. 18. And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you Seven times more for your sins. 19. And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass: 20. And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits. 21. And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not heark- en unto me: I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins. Num. 15:30. But the soul that doeth ought presumptOusly, whether he be born in the land, Or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD ; and that Soul shall be cut off from among his people. 31. Because he hath de- spised the word of the LORD, and hath bro- 5. And GOD saw that the h ken his commandment, that soul shall ut- terly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon YIIY). Num. 32:23. But if ye will not do so, be- hold, ye have sinned against the LORD ; and be sure your sin will find you out. Job 21:17. How Oft is the candle of the wicked put Out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them God distributeth Sorrows in his anger. Psa. 95:10. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and Said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: 11. Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest. Jer. 44:2. Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel : Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein, 3. Because of their wick- edness which they have committed to pro- voke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers. 5. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods. 6. Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Je- rusalem ; and they are wasted and desolate, as at this day. See PUNISHMENT; WICKED, PUNISHMENT OF. REPUGNANT TO GOD: Gen. 6:6. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7. And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. Num. 22:32. And the angel of the LORD said unto him, Wherefore hast thou Smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I went out to withstand thee, because thy way is perverse before me: Deut. 25:16. For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abom- ination unto the LORD thy God. Deut. 32:19. And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters. 2 Sam. 11:27. And when the mourning was past, David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD. 1 Kin. 14:22. And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him. to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done. Psa. 5:4. For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall, evil dwell with thee. 5. The foolish shall not 1287 SIN.—REPUGNANT stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. , 6. Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. Psa. 10:3. For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the COvetous, whom the LORD abhorreth. Psa. 11:5. The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth. Psa. 78:59. When God heard this, he was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: Psa. 95:10. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and Said, It is a peo- ple that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: Psa. 106:40. Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insO- much that he abhorred his own inheritance. Prov. 3:32. For the froward is abomina- tion to the LORD : but his Secret is with the righteous. Prov. 11:20. Prov. 6:16. These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17. A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19. A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that Soweth discord among brethren. Prov. 15:8. The Sacrifice Of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. 9. The way of the wicked is an abomination unto the LORD : but he loveth him that followeth after righteousness. 26. The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD : but the words of the pure are pleasant words. |Prov. 21:27. The Sacrifice of the wicked is abomination : how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind? Isa. 43:24. Thou hast bought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices: but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities. Jer. 25.7. Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD ; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt. Jer. 44:4. Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and send- ing them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate. 21. The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the peo- ple of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind? 22. So that the LORD could no longer bear, be- cause of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have com- mitted; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day. Hab. 1:13. Thow art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: TO THE RIGHTEOUS. Zech. 8:17. And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false Oath : for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD. Luke 16:15. And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. Rev. 2:6. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitames, which I also hate. 15. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. See GOD, HOLINESS OF: HOLINESS. REPUGNANT TO THE RIGHTEOUS: Gen. 39:7. And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph ; and she said, Lie with me. 8. But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath com- mitted all that he hath to my hand; 9. There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? Deut. 7:26. Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: bºtt thou shalt ut- terly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it ; for it is a cursed thing. Job 1:1. There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and One that feared God, and eschewed evil. Job 21:16. Lo, their good is not in their hand : the counsel of the wicked is far from IYle. Job 22:18. Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me. Psa. 26:5.

I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. T’sa. 101:3. I will set no wicked thing be- fore mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. 4. A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. 7. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. Psa. 119:104. Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way. [v. 128.] 113. I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. 163. I hate and ab- hor lying: but thy law do I love. Psa. 120:2. Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. 5. Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar ! 6. My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. 1288 SIN. SINAI. 7. I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. Psa. 139:19. Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. 20. For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy 77.0/me in vain. 21. Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee ? 22. I hate them with perfect hatred : I count them mine enemies. Prov. 8:13. The fear of the TORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Prov. 29:27.

For that which I do I allow not : for what I would, that do I not ; but what I hate, that do I. 19. For the good that I would I do not : but the evil which I would not, that I do. 23. But I See another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into cap- tivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24. O wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from the body of this death ? 2 Pet. 2:7. And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8. (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds:) Jude 23. And others save with fear, pull- ing them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Rev. 2:2. I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou Canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them - See HOLINESS. SEPARATES FROM GOH): Deut. 31:17. Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us? 18. And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other :Ods. £ Josh. 7:12. Therefore the children. Of Ts- rael could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you. 2 Chr. 24:20.

Job 13:24. Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy º Job 23:3. Qh that I knew where I might find him that I might come even to his Seat 8. Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him : 9. On the left hand, where he doth Work, but I cannot behold him : he hideth ºr On the right hand, that I cannot see l,???? ..." - Psa. 78:59. When God heard this, he was Wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel: 60. So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men; 61. And delivered his strength into captivity, and his glory into the enemy's hand. Isa. 59:1. Behold, the LORD's hand is not Shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2. But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. Isa. 647. And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities. Ezek. 23:18. So she discovered her whore- doms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister. Hos. 9:12.

But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are: depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity. Matt. 7:23; 25:41. Rom. 8:7. Because the carnal mind is en- mity against God: Heb. 12:14.

And give Occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid: 15. Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate: 16. And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; 17. And, lo, he hath given occasion of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daugh- ter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the élders of the city. 18. And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him ; 19. And they shall amerce him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.

How long wilt thou Sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise Out of thy sleep? 10. Yet a little sleep, a little slum- ber, a little folding of the hands to Sleep : 11. So shall thy poverty come as One that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man. Prov. 10:4. He becometh poor that deal- eth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. 5. He that gathereth in summer is a wise Son: but he that Sleep- eth in harvest is a son that causeth Shame. 26. As vinegar to the teeth, and as Smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him. Prov. 12:24. The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. 27.

Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. 33. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep : 34. So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man. Prov. 26:13. The slothful man saith, There Žs a lion in the way: a lion is in the streets. [chapter 22:13.]. 14.

Now them that are such we command and exhort by. our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread. Heb. 6:12.

Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me. Psa. 10:7. His mouth is full of cursing and 1294 SPEAKING.—EVIL. deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mis- (shief and vanity. 8. He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the Secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. Psa. 12:3. The LORD shall cut off all flat- tering lips, and the tongue that Speaketh proud things: 4. Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; Our lips are our Own : who is lord Over us? Psa. 34:13. Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Psa. 35:21. Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and Said, Aha, aha, Our eye hath seen it. Psa. 41:5. Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish : 6. And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to it- self; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it. 7. All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. 8. An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him ; and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. 9. Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me. Psa. 52:2. Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. , 3. Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. , 4. Thou lovest all devouring words, O thoºd deceitful tongue. Psa. 59:12. For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak. Psa. 64:2. Hide me from the Secret coun- Sel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: 3. Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words: 4. That they may shoot in Secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not. 5. They encourage themselves in an evil manner: they com- mune of laying Snares privily ; they say, Who Shall see them ? Psa. 69:12. They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards. , 26. For they persecute him whom thou hast smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom thou hast wounded. T’sa. 70:3. Tet them be turned back for a ºrd of their shame that say, Aha, alla. Psa. 102:8. Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are Sworn against me. Psa. 106:33. Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips. - Psa. 119:23. Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes. Psa. 120:1. In my distress I cried unto the LORD, and he heard me. 2. Deliver my Soul, O LORD, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue. 3. What shall be given unto thee ? Or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? 4. Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper. 5. Woe is me, that I Sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar ! 6. My Soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. 7. I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war. - Psa. 140:3. They have sharpened their tongues like a Serpent ; adders' poison is under their lips. 11. Let not an evil speaker be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. Prov. 4:24. Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. Prov. 6:16. These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17. A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19. A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that Soweth discord among brethren. Prov. 8:13. The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and airrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate. Prov. 10:11. The mouth of a righteous Amazº is a well of life: but violence covereth the nouth of the wicked. 19. In the multi- tude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraimeth his lips is wise. 31. The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out. 32. The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness. Prov. 11:11. By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked. Prov. 12:5. The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. 6. The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. 13. The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come Out of trouble. 17. He that speaketh truth shew- eth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. 18. There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. 19. The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue 7s but for a moment. Prov. 13:3. He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. Prov. 14:25. A true witness delivereth Souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies. Prov. 15:1. A soft answer turneth away wrath; but grievous words stir up anger. 4. A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. 28. The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked pour- eth Out evil things. Prov. 16:27. An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning 1295 ST’EAKING...—EVIL. fire. 28. A froward man Soweth Strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. Prov. 17:4. A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue. 9. He that covereth a transgres- sion seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. 20. He that hath a froward heart findeth no good : and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief. Brov. 18:8. The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the inner- most parts of the belly. 21. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. 23. The poor useth intreaties; but the rich an- swereth roughly. Prov. 19:1. Better is the poor that walk- eth in his integrity, than he that is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. 22. The desire of a man is his kindness: and a poor man is better than a liar. 28. An ungodly witness scorneth judgment: and the mouth of the wicked devoureth iniquity. Prov. 24:2. For their heart studieth de- struction, and their lips talk of mischief. Prov. 25:23. The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a back- biting tongue. Prov. 26:20. Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: So where there is no talebear- er, the strife ceaseth. 21. As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; SO is a con- tentious man to kindle strife. 22. The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. 23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross. 28. A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it ; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin. Eccl. 7:22. For oftentimes also thine Own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others. Eccl. 10:11. Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment ; and a babbler is no better. 20. Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall car- ry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter. Isa. 6:5. Then said I, Woe is me ! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of un- clean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. Isa. 32:6. For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail. 7. The instruments also Of the Churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right. Jer. 20:10. For I heard the defaming of many, fear on every side. Report, say they, and we will report it. All my familiars watched for my halting, saying, Peradven- ture he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take Our revenge On him. Matt. 5:22. But I say unto you, That who- soever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whoso- ever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hellfire. 37. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay : for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. Matt. 12:34. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, Speak good things? for Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth Speaketh. 35. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. [Luke 6: 45.] 36. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judg- ment. 37. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Acts 23:5. Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest : for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. Rom. 1:29. Being filled with all unright- eousness, fornication, wickedness, covet- ousness, maliciousness; full of envy, mur- der, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30. Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, Rom. 3:13. Their throat is an open Sepul- chre; with their tongues they have used de- ceit: the poison of asps is under their lips: 14. Whose mouth is full of cursing and bit- terneSS: - 1 Cor. 6:10. Northieves . . . . nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. Eph. 4:25. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 29. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 31. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: Eph. 5:4. Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not conven- ient: but rather giving of thanks. Tit. 1:10. For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: 11. Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. Tit, 3:2. To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. Jas, 1:26. If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, 1296 SPEAKING..—FOLLY IN–WISDOM IN. but deceiveth his own heart, this man's re- ligion is vain. v. 19. Jas. 3:5. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth ! 6. And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: SO is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. 8. But the tongue can no man tame; 7t is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9. There with bless we God, even the Fa- ther; and there with Curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 10. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things Ought not so to be. - Jas. 4:11. Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law : but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. 1 Pet. 2:1. Wherefore laying aside all malice, . . . and all evil speakings, 1 Pet. 3:9. Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise bless- ing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 10. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 2 Pet. 2:7. And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8. (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds:) 10. Presumptuous are they, self willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. Jude 8. Likewise also these filthy dream- ers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. , 10. But these speak evil of those things which they know not : See ACCUSATION, FALSE : BLASPHEMY : BUSYBODY; FALSEHOOD; FLATTERY: SLAN- DER: TALEBEARER : UNCHARITABLENESS. FOLLY IN: Job 13:5. O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom. Job 16:3. Shall vain words have an end ? Or what emboldeneth thee that thou an- swerest ? 4. I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you. Job 38:2. Who is this that darkeneth counsel by Words without knowledge? Prov. 10:14, Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruc- tion. - Prov. 12:23. A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaim- eth foolishness. Prov. 13:3. He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. Prov. 14:3. In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them. Prov. 15:2. The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. 7. The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not So. 14. The heart of him that hath understanding seeketh knowledge : but the mouth of fools feedeth on foolishness. Prov. 18:6. A fool's lips enter into conten- tion, and his mouth calleth for strokes. 7. A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the Snare of his soul. 13. He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. Prov. 26:4. Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. 7. The legs of the lame are not equal: so is a parable in the mouth of fools. 9. As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, SO is a parable in the mouth of fools. Prov. 29:11. A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise 7), (tº keepeth it in till after- wards. 20. Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words 2 there is more hope of a fool than of him. Prov. 30:10. Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty. Eccl. 5:3. For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words. 7. For in the multitude of dreams and many words º are also divers vanities: but fear thou OCl. . Eccl. 10:13. The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. 14. A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be ; and what shall be after him, who can tell him ? Matt. 12:36. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. . Eph. 5:4. Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not con- venient : but rather giving of thanks. See FOOL. WISDOM IN : Job 16:5. Bºtt. I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the mov- ing of my lips should asswage your grief. Job 27:4. My lips shall not speak wick- edness, nor my tongue utter deceit. Psa. 15:1. LORD, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill? 2. He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart. 3. He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neigh- bour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour. Psa. 37:30. The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. Psa. 39:1. I said, I will take heed to my (82) 1297 SPEAKING,-WISDOM IN, ways, that I sin not with my tongue: , I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me. Psa. 50:23. Whoso offereth praise glori- fieth me : and to him that Ordereth his con- Yººtion aright will I shew the salvation of OCl. Psa. 77:12. I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings, Psa. 119:13. With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. 27. Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works. , 46. I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed. 54. Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage. 172. My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy command- ments are righteousness. Psa. 141:3. Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth : keep the door of my lips. Psa. 145:5, I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. 6. And me?” shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will de- clare thy greatness. 7. They shall abun- dantly utter the memory of thy great good- ness, and shall sing of thy righteousness. 11. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power ; 12. To make known to the Sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his king- dom. Prov. 10:11. The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. 13. In the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding. 19. In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise. 20. The tongue of the just is as choice silver : the heart of the wicked is little worth. 21. The lips of the righteous feed many : but fools die for want of wisdom. 31. The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom : but the froward tongue shall be cut out. 32. The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness. Prov. 11:12. He that is void of wisdom de- spiseth his neighbour: but a man of under- standing holdeth his peace. 13. A tale- bearer revealeth Secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. 14. Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety. Prov. 12:6. The words Of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood : but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. 14. A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth : and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him. 16. A fool's wrath is presently known : but a prudent man covereth shame. 17. He that speaketh truth sheweth forth right- eousness: but a false witness deceit. 18. There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. 19. The lip of truth shall be estab- lished for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. 20. Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsel- lors of peace is joy. 23. A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. Prov. 13:2. A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth : but the Soul of the trans- gressors shall eat violence. 3. He that keep- eth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that gºeth wide his lips shall have destruc- IOIl. Prov. 14:3. In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them. Prov. 15:1. A soft answer turneth away wrath: but greivous words stir up anger. 2. The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth Out foolishness. 4. A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. 7. The lips of the wise disperse knowledge: but the heart of the foolish doeth not SO. 23. A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it / 26. The thoughts of the wicked are an abom- ination to the LORD : but the words of the pure are pleasant words. 28. The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. Prov. 16:21. The wise in heart shall be called prudent : and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning. 23. The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips. 24. Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, Sweet to the Soul, and health to the bones. Prov. 17:7. Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. 27. He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understand- ing is of an excellent spirit. 28. Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise ; and he that shutteth his lips is es- teemed a man of understanding. Prov. 18:4. The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters, and the wellspring of wisdom as a flowing brook. 20. A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth: and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. Prov. 19:1. Better is the poor that walk- eth in his integrity, than he that is per- verse in his lips, and is a fool. Prov. 20:15. There is gold, and a multi- tude of rubies: but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel. Prov. 21:23. Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troll- bles. Prov. 22:11. He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king s/ball be his friend. Prov. 24:6. For by wise counselthou shalt 1298 SPEAKING. SPIKENARD. make thy war: and in multitude of coun- Sellors there is safety. Prov. 25:11. A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. 15. By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone. Prov. 26:5. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit. |Prov. 29:11. A fool uttereth all his mind, but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards. Prov. 31:26. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. Eccl. 3:7. A time to rend, and a time to Sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to Speak; Eccl. 9:17. The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth among fools. Eccl. 10:12. The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. Eccl. 12:9. And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the peo- ple knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. 10. The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth. 11. The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assem- blies, which are given from one shepherd. Amos 5:13. Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time. Zeph. 3:13. The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth : for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. Zech. 8:16. These are the things that ye shall do: Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour ; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: Matt. 12:37. By thy words thou shaft be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. - Luke 6:45. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringethforth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Matt. 12:35. Eph. 4:22. That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 25. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 29. Let no cor- rupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. Phil. 1:27. Tet your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ : g Col. 4:6. Let your speech be alway with grace, Seasoned with Salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every Iſla, Il. . Jas. 1:19. Wherefore, my beloved breth- ren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to Speak, slow to wrath: 26. If any man among you Seem to be religious, and bri- dleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Jas. 3:2. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. 13. Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversa- tion his works with meekness of wisdom. 1 Pet. 2:12. Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall ºld. glorify God in the day of visita- lOll. 1 Pet. 3:15. But samctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 16. Having a good con- Science; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. Rev. 14:5.

Psa. 31:20. Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them Secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. Psa. 55:9. Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city. Psa. 80:6. Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves. Prov. 3:30. Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm. Prov. 6:12. A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. 13. He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; 14. Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually ; he soweth discord. 16. These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, Seven are an abomination unto him : 17. A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18. An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19. A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that Soweth discord among brethren. Prov. 10:12. Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. Prov. 13:10. Only by pride cometh conten- tion: but with the well advised is wisdom. Prov. 15:18.

Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife. 14. The beginning of strife is as when One letteth Out water : therefore leave Off contention, before it be meddled with. 19. He loveth transgression that loveth strife : and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction. Prov. 18:6. A fool's lips enter into conten- ‘tion, and his mouth calleth for strokes. 19. A brother offended is harder to be won than a strong city: and their contentions are like the bars of a castle. Prov. 19:13. A foolish son is the calamity of his father: and the contentions of a wife &re a continual dropping. Prov. 20:3. It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling. Prov. 21:19. It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman. Prov. 22:10. Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out ; yea, strife and re- proach shall cease. Prov. 23:29.

Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame. 24. It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawl- ing woman and in a wide house. Prov. 26:17. He that passeth by, and med- dleth with strife belonging not to him, is like One that taketh a dog by the ears. 20. Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: So where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth. 21. As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; SO is a contentious man to kindle strife. Prov. 27:15. A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike. Prov. 28:25. He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: Prov. 29:22. An angry man stirreth up strife, and a furious man aboundeth in transgression. Prov. 30:33.

Behold, all they that were in- censed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded : they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. 12. Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, ever, them that contended with thee : they that war against thee shall be as noth- ing, and as a thing of nought. Isa. 58:4. Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wick- edness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high. Iſab. 1:3. Why dost thoushew meiniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoil- ing and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention. Matt. 5:25. Agree with thine adversary Quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 39. But I say unto you, That ye re- sist not evil: but whosoever shall Smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Matt. 10:34. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 36. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. Matt. 12:25. And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every king- dom divided against itself is brought to des- olation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: Matt. 18:15. Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy broth- er. 16. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee One or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a pub- lican. Mark 3:24. And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. [Luke 11:17.] 25. And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. Luke 12:51. Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth ? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: 52. For from henceforth there shall be five in One house divided, three against two, and two against three. 53. The father shall be divided against the Son, and the son against the father: the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother: the mother in law against the daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 58. When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thow art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be deliv- ered from him ; lest he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the of. ficer, and the officer cast thee into prison. 59. I tell thee, thou shalt not depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite. - Rom. 2:8. But unto them that are conten- tious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Rom. 12:18. If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. Rom. 13:13. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; . . . not in strife and envying. Rom. 14:1. Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. 19. Det us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things where- with one may edify another. 21. It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. Rom. 16:17. Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and of- fences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. 1 Cor. 1:10. I beseech you, brethren, by the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you ; but that ye be per- fectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11. For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that 1303 STRIFE. |here are contentions among you. 12. Now this I say, that every One of you Saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13. Is Christ divided ? was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized in the name of Paul ? 1 Cor. 3:1. I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto Spiritual, but as unto car- mal, even as unto babes in Christ. 3. For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divi- sions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men : 4. For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not car- nal 2 1 Cor. 4:6. And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your Sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. 7. For who maketh thee to differ from another 2 and what hast thou that thou didst not re- ceive 2 now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not re- ceived it * 1 Cor. 6:1. Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the Saints? 2. Do ye not know that the Saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the Smallest matters? 3. Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 4. If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, Set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 5. I speak to your shame. Is it. So, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 6. But brother go- eth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers. 7. Now therefore there is ut- terly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded ? 1 Cor. 11:16. But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. 17. Now in this that I declare vnto you, I praise you not, that ye come together not for the bet- ter, but for the worse. 18. For first of all, when ye come together in the church, Ihear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it. 19. For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among yOu. 2 Cor. 12:20. I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not : lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults: Gal. 5:10. I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. 15. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed One of an- other. 19. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these ; . . . 20. Idol- atry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emula- tions, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21. Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like : of the which I tell you be- fore, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Phil. 1:15. Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: 16. The one preach Christ of conten- tion, not sincerely, supposing to add afflic- tion to my bonds: Phil. 2:3. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory ; but in lowliness of mind let eachesteem other better than themselves. 14. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15. That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without re- buke, in the midst of a crooked and per- verse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world ; 1 Tim. 1:5. Now the end of the command- ment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned : 6. From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling ; 7. Desir- ing to be teachers of the law ; understand- ing neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. 1 Tim. 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 1 Tim. 3:2. A bishop then must be blame- less, . . . 3. Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre ; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 1 Tim. 6:3. If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godli- ness; 4. He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, rail- ings, evil Surmisings, 5. Perverse disput- ings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute Of the truth, Supposing that gain is godli- ness: from such withdraw thyself. 20. O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain bab- blings, and oppositions of Science falsely so called: 21. Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. 2 Tim. 2:14. Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 23. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 24. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25. In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; - Tit. 3:1. Put them in mind . . . to be 1304 STRIFE. SUFFERING. ready to every good work, 2. To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. 3. For we ourselves also were Sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 9. But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law: for they are unprofitable and vain. Jas. 3:14. If ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15. This wisdom descend- eth not from above, but is earthly, Sensual, devilish. 16. For where envying and strife 2s, there is confusion and every evil work. Jas. 4:1. From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of yourlusts that war in your members? 2. Ye lust, and have not : ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and War, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. See ANGER ; ENVY : JEALOUSY : MALICE.

For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. Rom. 8:17. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ ; if so be that we suffer with / in), that we may be also glorified together. 18. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. 20. For the creature was made sub- ject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the sa/ve in hope, 21. Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of cor- ruption into the glorious liberty of the chil- dren of GOd. 22. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. 23. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. 26. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth Our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groan- ings which cannot be uttered. 1 Cor. 4:12. And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it : 13. Being de- famed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. 2 Cor. 1:7. And our hope of you is sted- fast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the con- solation. 2 Cor. 4:11. For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made mani- fest in Our mortal flesh. 12. So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 13. We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken ; we also believe, and there- fore speak; 14. IGhowing that he which 1305 SUTFERING...—OF CHRIST. raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16. For which cause we faint not : but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17. For our light affliction, which is but for a mo- ment, worketh for us a far more exceeding &nd eternal weight of glory; 18. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. Phil. 1:29. For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; Phil. 2:27. For indeed he was sick nigh unto death; but God had mercy on him : and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. 28. I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye See him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. 29. Receive him therefore in the Lord with all glad- ness; and hold such in reputation: 30. Be- cause for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me. Phil. 3:10. That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellow- ship of his sufferings, being made comform- able unto his death. Col. 1:24. Who now rejoice in my suffer- ings for you, and fill up that which is be- hind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church : 2 Thess. 1:4. So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your pa- tience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 5. Which Žs a manifest token of the righteous judg- ment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 2 Tim. 2:12. If we suffer, we shall also reign with him : Jas. 5:10. Take, my brethren, the proph- ets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. 1 Pet. 4:13. But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 14. If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 1 Pet. 5:10. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strength- en, Settle yout. See AFFLICTION: PERSECUTION. OF CHRIST : Luke 24:46. Thus it is writ- ten, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: 47. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. v. 26. - John 6:51. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. John 10:11. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. 15. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. John 11:50. Nor consider that it is expe- dient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perish not. 51. And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophe- sied that Jesus should die for that nation : 52. And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. ROnn. 4:25. Who was delivered for Our offences, and was raised again for our justi- fication. |Rom. 5:6. For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7. For Scarcely for a righteous man will one die : yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Rom. 14:15. But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now walkest thou not chari- tably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. 1 Cor. 1:17. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the Cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 18. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness ; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 23. But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling- block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24. But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. 1 Cor. 8:11. And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died ? 1 Cor. 15:3. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures; 2 Cor. 5:14. For the love of Christ COn- straineth us; because we thus judge, that if One died for all, then were all dead : 15. And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto them- selves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. - Gal. 1:4. Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present 1306 SUFFERING. SUMMER. evil world, according to the will of God and Our Father: Gal. 2:20. I am crucified with Christ : nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. Eph. 5:2. And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. 25. Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it : 1 Thess. 5:9. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by Our Lord Jesus Christ, 10. Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Heb. 2:9. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffer- ing of death, crowned with glory and hon- our; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 10. For it be- came him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many Sons unto glory, to make the captain of their Salvation perfect through sufferings. 14. Torasmuch then as the children are partak- ers of flesh and blood, he also himself like- wise took part of the same ; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 18. For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Heb. 5:8. Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9. And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal Salvation unto all them that obey him ; Heb. 9:15. For this cause he is the media- tor of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgres- sions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 16. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 28. So Christ was Once Offered to bear the sins of many ; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time with- out sin unto Salvation. Heb. 10:10. By the which will we are sanc- tified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 18. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. 19. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20. By a new and living way, which he hath conse- crated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh ; 1 Pet. 2:21. For even hereunto were ye called : because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should fol- low his steps: 24. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 1 Pet. 3:18. For Christ also hath. Once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 1 Pet. 4:1. Forasmuch then as Christ hath Suffered for us in the fiesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from Sln: 1 John 3:16. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: See ATONEMENT; JESUs, DEATH OF, DE- SIGN OF HIS DEATH, SUFFERINGS OF. WHCARIOUS : Ex. 9:13. And the LORD Said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus Saith the LORD God of the Hebrews, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 14. For I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart, and upon thy Servants, and upon thy people; that thou mayest know that there is none like me in all the earth. 15. For now I will stretch out my hand, that I may smite thee and thy people with pestilence; and thou shalt be cut off from the earth. 16. And in very deed for this cantse have I raised thee up, for to shew in thee my power; and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. John 15:13. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Rom. 9:3. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh : 1 Pet. 2:21. Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should fol- low his steps: 1 John 3:16. We ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. See above, OF CHRIST.

NOW when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his Own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appoint- ment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him. 12. And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept ; and they rent every one his mantle, and Sprinkied dust upon their heads toward heaven. 13. So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none Spake a word unto him : for they saw that his grief was very great. Job 6:14. To him that is afflicted pity should be sheated from his friend ; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty. Job 22:29. When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up ; and he shall save the humble person. Eccl. 7:2. It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. Phil. 2:1. If there be therefore any conso- lation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2. Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. - Jas. 1:27.
