passage: Col 1:24-1:29



Chapter 1

  Who now rejoice 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: 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; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from
  generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 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: Whom we preach,
  warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may
  present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour,
  striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

passage: Luke 9:49-9:56



Chapter 9

  And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils
  in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
  And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not: for he that is not against
  us is for us.  And it came to pass, when the time was come that he
  should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
  And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into
  a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.  And they did not
  receive him, because his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem.
  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?  But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know
  not what manner of spirit ye are of.  For the Son of man is not come to
  destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village.

passage: Col 2:1-2:7



Chapter 2

  For 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; That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together
  in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding,
  to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and
  of Christ; In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
  And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.
  For though I be 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.  As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so
  walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith,
  as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

passage: Luke 10:1-10:15



Chapter 10

  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.  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.  Go your ways:
  behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.  Carry neither purse,
  nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way.  And into whatsoever
  house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house.  And if the son of
  peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to
  you again.  And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things
  as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house
  to house.  And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat
  such things as are set before you: And heal the sick that are therein,
  and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.  But into
  whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out
  into the streets of the same, and say, 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.
  But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for
  Sodom, than for that city.  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.  But it shall be more tolerable for
  Tyre and Sidon at the judgment, than for you.  And thou, Capernaum,
  which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell.

passage: 2Cor 3:12-3:18



Chapter 3

  Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
  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:
  But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same
  vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is
  done away in Christ.  But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the
  vail is upon their heart.  Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord,
  the vail shall be taken away.  Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where
  the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.  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.

passage: Luke 6:1-6:10



Chapter 6

  And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went
  through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and
  did eat, rubbing them in their hands.  And certain of the Pharisees said
  unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?
  And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what
  David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;
  How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread,
  and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to
  eat but for the priests alone?  And he said unto them, That the Son of
  man is Lord also of the sabbath.  And it came to pass also on another
  sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was
  a man whose right hand was withered.  And the scribes and Pharisees
  watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might
  find an accusation against him.  But he knew their thoughts, and said
  to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in
  the midst. And he arose and stood forth.  Then said Jesus unto them,
  I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good,
  or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?  And looking round about
  upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he
  did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

passage: Gal 2:16-2:20



Chapter 2

  Knowing that 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.  But if,
  while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found
  sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.  For if I
  build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
  For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
  I am crucified with Christ: neverthless 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.

passage: Luke 8:5-8:15



Chapter 8

  A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way
  side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
  And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered
  away, because it lacked moisture.  And some fell among thorns; and
  the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.  And other fell on good
  ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had
  said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
  And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?
  And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom
  of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see,
  and hearing they might not understand.  Now the parable is this: The
  seed is the word of God.  Those by the way side are they that hear;
  then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts,
  lest they should believe and be saved.  They on the rock are they,
  which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no
  root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
  And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard,
  go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this
  life, and bring no fruit to perfection.  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.

passage: Col 2:13-2:20



Chapter 2

  And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
  hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
  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;
  And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them
  openly, triumphing over them in it.  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 sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the
  body is of Christ.  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, 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.
  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,

passage: Luke 10:22-10:24



Chapter 10

  All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the
  Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to
  whom the Son will reveal him.  And he turned him unto his disciples,
  and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye
  see: For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see
  those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those
  things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Chapter 2

  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, Touch
  not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using;)
  after the commandments and doctrines of men?  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.


Chapter 3

  If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above,
  where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.  Set your affection on
  things above, not on things on the earth.  For ye are dead, and your
  life is hid with Christ in God.

passage: Luke 11:1-11:10



Chapter 11

  And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when
  he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray,
  as John also taught his disciples.  And he said unto them, When ye pray,
  say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom
  come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.  Give us day by day
  our daily bread.  And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one
  that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us
  from evil.  And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend,
  and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me
  three loaves; For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I
  have nothing to set before him?  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.  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.  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.  For every one that asketh receiveth;
  and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

passage: Col 3:17-4:1



Chapter 3

  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.  Wives,
  submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
  Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.  Children,
  obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
  Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
  Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not
  with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
  And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
  Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance:
  for ye serve the Lord Christ.  But he that doeth wrong shall receive
  for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.


Chapter 4

  Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing
  that ye also have a Master in heaven.

passage: Luke 11:9-11:13

  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.  For every one that asketh
  receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall
  be opened.  If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father,
  will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give
  him a serpent?  Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
  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?

Chapter 4

  Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; Withal
  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: That I may
  make it manifest, as I ought to speak.  Walk in wisdom toward them that
  are without, redeeming the time.  Let your speech be alway with grace,
  seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
  All my state shall Tychicus declare unto you, who is a beloved brother,
  and a faithful minister and fellowservant in the Lord: Whom I have
  sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate,
  and comfort your hearts; With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother,
  who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things which are
  done here.

passage: Luke 11:14-11:23



Chapter 11

  And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass,
  when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
  But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the
  chief of the devils.  And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign
  from heaven.  But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every
  kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house
  divided against a house falleth.  If Satan also be divided against
  himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out
  devils through Beelzebub.  And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by
  whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
  But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom
  of God is come upon you.  When a strong man armed keepeth his palace,
  his goods are in peace: 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.  He that is not with me is against me: and he
  that gathereth not with me scattereth.

  For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that
  are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.  Luke, the beloved physician,
  and Demas, greet you.  Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea,
  and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.  And when this

  He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me
  scattereth.  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.  And when he cometh, he findeth
  it swept and garnished.  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.

Chapter 5

  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.  For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed
  upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we
  shall not be found naked.  For we that are in this tabernacle do groan,
  being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon,
  that mortality might be swallowed up of life.  Now he that hath wrought
  us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest
  of the Spirit.  Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst
  we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: For we walk by
  faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be
  absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.  Wherefore we
  labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
  For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every
  one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath
  done, whether it be good or bad.

passage: Luke 7:1-7:10



Chapter 7

  Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people,
  he entered into Capernaum.  And a certain centurion's servant, who
  was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.  And when he heard of
  Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that
  he would come and heal his servant.  And when they came to Jesus, they
  besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should
  do this: For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.
  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, trouble not
  thyself: for I am not worthy that thou shouldest enter under my roof:
  Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in
  a word, and my servant shall be healed.  For I also am a man set under
  authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he
  goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this,
  and he doeth it.  When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled 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.
  And they that were sent, returning to the house, found the servant
  whole that had been sick.

Chapter 6

  Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
  As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain
  you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for
  the cross of Christ.  For neither they themselves who are circumcised
  keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory
  in your flesh.  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.  For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing,
  nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.  And as many as walk according
  to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
  From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks
  of the Lord Jesus.

passage: Luke 16:19-16:31



Chapter 16

  There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen,
  and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named
  Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be
  fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the
  dogs came and licked his sores.  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; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in
  torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.  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.  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.
  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.  Then he said, I pray thee
  therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
  For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also
  come into this place of torment.  Abraham saith unto him, They have
  Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.  And he said, Nay, father
  Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
  And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither
  will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

  And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say,
  This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign
  be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.  For as Jonas was a sign
  unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
  The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of
  this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts
  of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than
  Solomon is here.  The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with
  this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching
  of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.  No man, when he

  bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.

passage: 1Thes 1:6-1:10



Chapter 1

  And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the
  word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Ghost.  So that ye were
  ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.  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.  For they themselves shew of us
  what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God
  from idols to serve the living and true God; And to wait for his Son
  from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered
  us from the wrath to come.

passage: Luke 11:34-11:41



Chapter 11

  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.  Take heed therefore that the light
  which is in thee be not darkness.  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.  And as he spake,
  a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and
  sat down to meat.  And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that
  he had not first washed before dinner.  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.  Ye fools, did
  not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
  But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things
  are clean unto you.

Chapter 2

  For yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in unto you, that it was
  not in vain: But even after that we had suffered 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.  For our
  exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile: 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.
  For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a
  cloke of covetousness; God is witness: Nor of men sought we glory,
  neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome,
  as the apostles of Christ.  But we were gentle among you, even as a
  nurse cherisheth her children: 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.

passage: Luke 11:42-11:46



Chapter 11

  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.  Woe unto you, Pharisees! for
  ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the
  markets.  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.  Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master,
  thus saying thou reproachest us also.  And he said, Woe unto you also,
  ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye
  yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

Chapter 2

  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.  Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily
  and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe:
  As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of
  you, as a father doth his children, That ye would walk worthy of God,
  who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory.  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.  For ye, brethren, 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:

passage: Luke 11:47-12:1



Chapter 11

  Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your
  fathers killed them.  Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds
  of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their
  sepulchres.  Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them
  prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
  That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation
  of the world, may be required of this generation; From the blood of Abel
  unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the
  temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
  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.
  And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees
  began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
  Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth,
  that they might accuse him.


Chapter 12

  In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable
  multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began
  to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the
  Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

Chapter 2

  For ye, brethren, 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: Who both killed the Lord
  Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please
  not God, and are contrary to all men: Forbidding us to speak to the
  Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins alway: for the
  wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.  But 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 desire.  Wherefore we would
  have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
  For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye
  in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

passage: Luke 12:2-12:12



Chapter 12

  For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid,
  that shall not be known.  Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness
  shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in
  closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.  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.  But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear:
  Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea,
  I say unto you, Fear him.  Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings,
  and not one of them is forgotten before God?  But even the very hairs of
  your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than
  many sparrows.  Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before
  men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God: But
  he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
  And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be
  forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it
  shall not be forgiven.  And when they bring you unto the synagogues,
  and unto magistrates, and powers, take ye no thought how or what thing
  ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: For the Holy Ghost shall teach
  you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

Chapter 8

  Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on
  the churches of Macedonia; How that in a great trial of affliction
  the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the
  riches of their liberality.  For to their power, I bear record, yea,
  and beyond their power they were willing of themselves; Praying us
  with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us
  the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.  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.

passage: Luke 8:16-8:21

  No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel,
  or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they
  which enter in may see the light.  For nothing is secret, that shall
  not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known
  and come abroad.  Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath,
  to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken
  even that which he seemeth to have.  Then came to him his mother and
  his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.  And it was told
  him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without,
  desiring to see thee.  And he answered and said unto them, My mother
  and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

passage: Luke 8:26-8:39



Chapter 8

  And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against
  Galilee.  And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city
  a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither
  abode in any house, but in the tombs.  When he saw Jesus, he cried out,
  and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do
  with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment
  me not.  For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the
  man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains
  and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into
  the wilderness.)  And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And
  he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.  And they
  besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.
  And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and
  they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he
  suffered them.  Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into
  the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake,
  and were choked.  When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled,
  and went and told it in the city and in the country.  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.  They also which saw it
  told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.
  Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about
  besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear:
  and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.  Now the man out
  of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him:
  but Jesus sent him away, saying, 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.

  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.
  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.
  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 much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him

Chapter 4

  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.  For ye know what commandments
  we gave you by the Lord Jesus.  For this is the will of God, even your
  sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every
  one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification
  and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles
  which know not God: That no man go beyond and defraud his brother
  in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as
  we also have forewarned you and testified.  For God hath not called
  us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.  He therefore that despiseth,
  despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
  But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for
  ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.  And indeed ye do
  it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech
  you, brethren, that ye increase more and more; And that ye study to be
  quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands,
  as we commanded you; That ye may walk honestly toward them that are
  without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

passage: Luke 12:48-12:59



Chapter 12

  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 much required: and to whom men have committed much,
  of him they will ask the more.  I am come to send fire on the earth;
  and what will I, if it be already kindled?  But I have a baptism to
  be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
  Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay;
  but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one
  house divided, three against two, and two against three.  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.  And he said also to the people, When ye see
  a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower;
  and so it is.  And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will
  be heat; and it cometh to pass.  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?  Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
  When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in
  the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest
  he hale thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer,
  and the officer cast thee into prison.  I tell thee, thou shalt not
  depart thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.

  But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write

  safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a

  and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.  But let us, who

  and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

passage: Luke 13:1-13:9



Chapter 13

  There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans,
  whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.  And Jesus
  answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were
  sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
  Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and slew them,
  think ye that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
  I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
  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.
  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?  And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it
  alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: And if
  it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

  to Christ.  But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled

  But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
  Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,
  (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit
  together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come

  that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man

  good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
  Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh,
  who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision
  in the flesh made by hands; That 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:
  But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh
  by the blood of Christ.  For he is our peace, who hath made both one,
  and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 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; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the
  cross, having slain the enmity thereby: And came and preached peace to
  you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.  For through him we
  both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.  Now therefore ye are
  no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints,
  and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the
  apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner
  stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an
  holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an
  habitation of God through the Spirit.

passage: Luke 8:41-8:56



Chapter 8

  And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the
  synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he
  would come into his house: For he had one only daughter, about twelve
  years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged
  him.  And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had
  spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,
  Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately
  her issue of blood stanched.  And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all
  denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude
  throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?  And Jesus
  said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out
  of me.  And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling,
  and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people
  for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
  And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath
  made thee whole; go in peace.  While he yet spake, there cometh one
  from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter
  is dead; trouble not the Master.  But when Jesus heard it, he answered
  him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
  And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save
  Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.
  And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead,
  but sleepeth.  And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.
  And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying,
  Maid, arise.  And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway:
  and he commanded to give her meat.  And her parents were astonished:
  but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

passage: 2Thes 1:1-1:10



Chapter 1

  Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians
  in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace,
  from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.  We are bound to thank God
  always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth
  exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other
  aboundeth; 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: 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: Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation
  to them that trouble you; And to you who are troubled rest with us,
  when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty
  angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God,
  and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be
  punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord,
  and from the glory of his power; When he shall come to be glorified
  in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our
  testimony among you was believed) in that day.

passage: Luke 14:12-14:15



Chapter 14

  Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a
  supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor
  thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be
  made thee.  But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the
  lame, the blind: And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense
  thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.
  And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he
  said unto him, Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.

Chapter 1

  When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in
  all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed)
  in that day.  Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would
  count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of
  his goodness, and the work of faith with power: That the name of our
  Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to
  the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.


Chapter 2

  Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
  and by our gathering together unto him, 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.

passage: Luke 14:25-14:35



Chapter 14

  And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto
  them, 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.  And whosoever doth not bear his
  cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.  For which of you,
  intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the
  cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?  Lest haply, after
  he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that
  behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was
  not able to finish.  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?
  Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage,
  and desireth conditions of peace.  So likewise, whosoever he be of
  you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
  Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it
  be seasoned?  It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill;
  but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Chapter 2

  Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
  and by our gathering together unto him, 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.  Let no man deceive you
  by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling
  away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
  Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that
  is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing
  himself that he is God.  Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you,
  I told you these things?  And now ye know what withholdeth that he might
  be revealed in his time.  For the mystery of iniquity doth already work:
  only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume
  with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of
  his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with
  all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness
  of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the
  love of the truth, that they might be saved.  And for this cause God
  shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That
  they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure
  in unrighteousness.

passage: Luke 15:1-15:10



Chapter 15

  Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
  And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth
  sinners, and eateth with them.  And he spake this parable unto them,
  saying, What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of
  them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go
  after that which is lost, until he find it?  And when he hath found it,
  he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.  And when he cometh home, he
  calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice
  with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost.  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.
  Either what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece,
  doth not light a candle, and sweep the house, and seek diligently till
  she find it?  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.  Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the
  presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

passage: 2Thes 2:13-3:5



Chapter 2

  But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved
  of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation
  through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: Whereunto
  he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord
  Jesus Christ.  Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions
  which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.  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,
  Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.


Chapter 3

  Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free
  course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: And that we may be
  delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
  But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
  And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and
  will do the things which we command you.  And the Lord direct your
  hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

passage: Luke 16:1-16:9



Chapter 16

  And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man,
  which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had
  wasted his goods.  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
  mayest be no longer steward.  Then the steward said within himself,
  What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I
  cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed.  I am resolved what to do, that, when
  I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.
  So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto
  the first, How much owest thou unto my lord?  And he said, An hundred
  measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down
  quickly, and write fifty.  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.  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.  And I say
  unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness;
  that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

Chapter 3

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

passage: Luke 16:15-16:18



Chapter 16

  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.  The law and the prophets were
  until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every
  man presseth into it.  And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass,
  than one tittle of the law to fail.  Whosoever putteth away his wife,
  and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her
  that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.

passage: Luke 17:1-17:4



Chapter 17

  Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences
  will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!  It were better
  for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into
  the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.  Take heed
  to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if
  he repent, forgive him.  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.

Chapter 1

  Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus
  Christ, 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: To whom
  be glory for ever and ever. Amen.  I marvel that ye are so soon removed
  from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
  Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would
  pervert the gospel of Christ.  But though we, or an angel from heaven,
  preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto
  you, let him be accursed.  As we said before, so say I now again, if any
  man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him
  be accursed.  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.

passage: Luke 9:37-9:43



Chapter 9

  And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down
  from the hill, much people met him.  And, behold, a man of the company
  cried out, saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is
  mine only child.  And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth
  out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly
  departeth from him.  And I besought thy disciples to cast him out; and
  they could not.  And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse
  generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you? Bring thy
  son hither.  And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and
  tare him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child,
  and delivered him again to his father.  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,
