passage: 1Cor 1:3-1:9



Chapter 1

  Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord
  Jesus Christ.  I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace
  of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; That in every thing ye are
  enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; Even as the
  testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: So that ye come behind in no
  gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall also
  confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our
  Lord Jesus Christ.  God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the
  fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

passage: Matt 19:3-19:12



Chapter 19

  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?  And he
  answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them
  at the beginning made them male and female, 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?  Wherefore they are no more twain,
  but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man
  put asunder.  They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give
  a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?  He saith unto them,
  Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away
  your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.  And I say unto
  you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication,
  and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her
  which is put away doth commit adultery.  His disciples say unto him,
  If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
  But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they
  to whom it is given.  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.

passage: 1Cor 9:2-9:12



Chapter 9

  If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for
  the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.  Mine answer to them
  that do examine me is this, Have we not power to eat and to drink?
  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?  Or I only and
  Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?  Who goeth a warfare
  any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not
  of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the
  milk of the flock?  Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law
  the same also?  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?  Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? 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.
  If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we
  shall reap your carnal things?  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.

passage: Matt 18:23-18:35



Chapter 18

  Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king,
  which would take account of his servants.  And when he had begun to
  reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
  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.
  The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have
  patience with me, and I will pay thee all.  Then the lord of that servant
  was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
  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.  And his fellowservant
  fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me,
  and I will pay thee all.  And he would not: but went and cast him into
  prison, till he should pay the debt.  So when his fellowservants saw
  what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord
  all that was done.  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: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy
  fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?  And his lord was wroth,
  and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was
  due unto him.  So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if
  ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.

passage: 2Cor 5:10-5:15



Chapter 5

  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.  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.  For we commend not ourselves again
  unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have
  somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
  For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be
  sober, it is for your cause.  For the love of Christ constraineth us;
  because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
  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.

passage: Mark 1:9-1:15



Chapter 1

  And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of
  Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.  And straightway coming
  up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a
  dove descending upon him: And there came a voice from heaven, saying,
  Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.  And immediately
  the spirit driveth him into the wilderness.  And he was there in the
  wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts;
  and the angels ministered unto him.  Now after that John was put in
  prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom
  of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is
  at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

passage: 2Cor 5:15-5:21



Chapter 5

  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.
  Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have
  known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
  Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are
  passed away; behold, all things are become new.  And all things are of
  God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given
  to us the ministry of reconciliation; 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.  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.  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.

passage: Mark 1:16-1:22



Chapter 1

  Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his
  brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.  And Jesus
  said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers
  of men.  And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him.
  And when he had gone a little farther thence, he saw James the son of
  Zebedee, and John his brother, who also were in the ship mending their
  nets.  And straightway he called them: and they left their father Zebedee
  in the ship with the hired servants, and went after him.  And they
  went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day he entered into
  the synagogue, and taught.  And they were astonished at his doctrine:
  for he taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes.

passage: 2Cor 6:11-6:16



Chapter 6

  O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
  Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
  Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye
  also enlarged.  Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
  for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what
  communion hath light with darkness?  And what concord hath Christ with
  Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?  And what
  agreement 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.

passage: Mark 1:23-1:28



Chapter 1

  And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he
  cried out, Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus
  of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art,
  the Holy One of God.  And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace,
  and come out of him.  And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and
  cried with a loud voice, he came out of him.  And they were all amazed,
  insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is
  this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even
  the unclean spirits, and they do obey him.  And immediately his fame
  spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.

passage: 2Cor 7:1-7:10



Chapter 7

  Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves
  from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the
  fear of God.  Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no
  man, we have defrauded no man.  I speak not this to condemn you: for I
  have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.
  Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you:
  I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
  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.
  Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted
  us by the coming of Titus; And not by his coming only, but by the
  consolation wherewith 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.  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.  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 damage
  by us in nothing.  For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation
  not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

passage: Mark 1:29-1:35



Chapter 1

  And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered
  into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.  But Simon's
  wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.  And he
  came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the
  fever left her, and she ministered unto them.  And at even, when the sun
  did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that
  were possessed with devils.  And all the city was gathered together
  at the door.  And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases,
  and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because
  they knew him.  And in the morning, rising up a great while before day,
  he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.

passage: 2Cor 7:10-7:16



Chapter 7

  For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of:
  but the sorrow of the world worketh death.  For behold this selfsame
  thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness 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.  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.
  Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the
  more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed
  by you all.  For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am
  not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so
  our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.  And his
  inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth
  the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.
  I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.

passage: Mark 2:18-2:22



Chapter 2

  And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast: and
  they come and say unto him, Why do the disciples of John and of the
  Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not?  And Jesus said unto them,
  Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with
  them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
  But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from
  them, and then shall they fast in those days.  No man also seweth a
  piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled
  it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.  And no
  man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst
  the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred:
  but new wine must be put into new bottles.

passage: 1Cor 1:26-1:29



Chapter 1

  For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the
  flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 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; 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: That no flesh should glory in his presence.

passage: Matt 20:29-20:34



Chapter 20

  And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
  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.  And the multitude rebuked them, because they should
  hold their peace: but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us,
  O Lord, thou son of David.  And Jesus stood still, and called them,
  and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?  They say unto him,
  Lord, that our eyes may be opened.  So Jesus had compassion on them,
  and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight,
  and they followed him.

passage: 1Cor 15:1-15:11



Chapter 15

  Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto
  you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also
  ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless
  ye have believed in vain.  For I delivered unto you first of all that
  which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according
  to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the
  third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas,
  then of the twelve: 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.  After that, he was seen of James; then of
  all the apostles.  And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one
  born out of due time.  For I am the least of the apostles, that am not
  meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
  But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed
  upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all:
  yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.  Therefore whether
  it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

passage: Matt 19:16-19:26



Chapter 19

  And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing
  shall I do, that I may have eternal life?  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.  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,
  Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
  as thyself.  The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept
  from my youth up: what lack I yet?  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.  But when the
  young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great
  possessions.  Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto
  you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
  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.
  When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying,
  Who then can be saved?  But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them,
  With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

passage: 2Cor 8:7-8:15



Chapter 8

  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.  I speak not by commandment, but by occasion
  of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
  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.  And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you,
  who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.
  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.
  For it there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that
  a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.  For I mean not
  that other men be eased, and ye burdened: 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: As it is written, He that had gathered much had nothing over;
  and he that had gathered little had no lack.

passage: Mark 3:6-3:12



Chapter 3

  And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with
  the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.  But Jesus
  withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude
  from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea, And from Jerusalem, and
  from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon,
  a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came
  unto him.  And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should
  wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
  For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to
  touch him, as many as had plagues.  And unclean spirits, when they saw
  him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
  And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.

passage: 2Cor 8:16-9:5



Chapter 8

  But thanks be to God, which put the same earnest care into the heart of
  Titus for you.  For indeed he accepted the exhortation; but being more
  forward, of his own accord he went unto you.  And we have sent with him
  the brother, whose praise is in the gospel throughout all the churches;
  And not that only, but who was also chosen of the churches to travel
  with us with this grace, which is administered by us to the glory
  of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready mind: Avoiding this,
  that no man should blame us in this abundance which is administered
  by us: Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord,
  but also in the sight of men.  And we have sent with them our brother,
  whom we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, but now much more
  diligent, upon the great confidence which I have in you.  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.  Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the
  churches, the proof of your love, and of our boasting on your behalf.


Chapter 9

  For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for
  me to write to you: 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.  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: Lest 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.  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.

passage: Mark 3:13-3:19



Chapter 3

  And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and
  they came unto him.  And he ordained twelve, that they should be with
  him, and that he might send them forth to preach, And to have power to
  heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils: And Simon he surnamed Peter;
  And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he
  surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The sons of thunder: And Andrew, and
  Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of
  Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Canaanite, And Judas Iscariot,
  which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.

passage: 2Cor 9:12-10:7



Chapter 9

  For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want
  of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
  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; And by their prayer for you,
  which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.  Thanks be
  unto God for his unspeakable gift.


Chapter 10

  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:
  But I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that
  confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us
  as if we walked according to the flesh.  For though we walk in the flesh,
  we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not
  carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself
  against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought
  to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all
  disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.  Do ye look on things
  after the outward appearance? if any man trust to himself that he is
  Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's,
  even so are we Christ's.

passage: Mark 3:20-3:27



Chapter 3

  And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much
  as eat bread.  And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay
  hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.  And the scribes which
  came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of
  the devils casteth he out devils.  And he called them unto him, and said
  unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?  And if a kingdom
  be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.  And if a house
  be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.  And if Satan rise
  up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.
  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except
  he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.

passage: 2Cor 10:7-10:18



Chapter 10

  Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? if any man trust
  to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again,
  that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's.  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: That
  I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.  For his letters,
  say they, are weighty and powerful; but his bodily presence is weak, and
  his speech contemptible.  Let such an one think this, that, such as we
  are in word by letters when we are absent, such will we be also in deed
  when we are present.  For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or
  compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring
  themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves,
  are not wise.  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.  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: Not boasting of things
  without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope,
  when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according
  to our rule abundantly, 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.
  But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.  For not he that
  commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

passage: Mark 3:28-3:35



Chapter 3

  Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of
  men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: But he
  that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness,
  but is in danger of eternal damnation.  Because they said, He hath
  an unclean spirit.  There came then his brethren and his mother, and,
  standing without, sent unto him, calling him.  And the multitude sat
  about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren
  without seek for thee.  And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother,
  or my brethren?  And he looked round about on them which sat about him,
  and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!  For whosoever shall do
  the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

passage: 2Cor 11:5-11:12



Chapter 11

  For I suppose I was not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
  But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been
  throughly made manifest among you in all things.  Have I committed an
  offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have
  preached to you the gospel of God freely?  I robbed other churches,
  taking wages of them, to do you service.  And when I was present with
  you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking
  to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all
  things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will
  I keep myself.  As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me
  of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.  Wherefore? because I love
  you not? God knoweth.  But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut
  off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory,
  they may be found even as we.

passage: Mark 4:1-4:9



Chapter 4

  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.  And he
  taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his doctrine,
  Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow: 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.  And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much
  earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
  But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root,
  it withered away.  And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up,
  and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.  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.  And he said unto them,
  He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

passage: 1Cor 2:6-2:9



Chapter 2

  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:
  But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom,
  which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the
  princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have
  crucified the Lord of glory.  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.

passage: Matt 22:15-22:22



Chapter 22

  Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in
  his talk.  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.  Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to
  give tribute unto Caesar, or not?  But Jesus perceived their wickedness,
  and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?  Shew me the tribute money. And
  they brought unto him a penny.  And he saith unto them, Whose is this
  image and superscription?  They say unto him, Caesar'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.  When they had heard these words,
  they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.

passage: 1Cor 16:13-16:24



Chapter 16

  Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
  Let all your things be done with charity.  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,)
  That ye submit yourselves unto such, and to every one that helpeth with
  us, and laboureth.  I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus
  and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied.
  For they have refreshed my spirit and yours: therefore acknowledge
  ye them that are such.  The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and
  Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in
  their house.  All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with
  an holy kiss.  The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand.  If any
  man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

passage: Matt 21:33-21:42



Chapter 21

  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:
  And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the
  husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.  And the husbandmen
  took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
  Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto
  them likewise.  But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They
  will reverence my son.  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.  And they caught him, and cast him out of the
  vineyard, and slew him.  When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh,
  what will he do unto those husbandmen?  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.
  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?

passage: 2Cor 12:10-12:19



Chapter 12

  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.  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 behind
  the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing.  Truly the signs of an
  apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders,
  and mighty deeds.  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.  Behold, 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 parents, but the parents
  for the children.  And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you;
  though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.  But be it
  so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with
  guile.  Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you?
  I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of
  you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
  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.

passage: Mark 4:10-4:23



Chapter 4

  And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of
  him the parable.  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 parables: That seeing they may see, and not
  perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any
  time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
  And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye
  know all parables?  The sower soweth the word.  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.
  And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when
  they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; And
  have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward,
  when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately
  they are offended.  And these are they which are sown among thorns; such
  as hear the word, 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.  And these are they which are sown on good
  ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit,
  some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.  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 candlestick?  For there is nothing hid, which shall not
  be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should
  come abroad.  If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

passage: 2Cor 12:20-13:2



Chapter 12

  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: lest there be
  debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings,
  tumults: 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 committed.


Chapter 13

  This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three
  witnesses shall every word be established.  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:

passage: Mark 4:24-4:34



Chapter 4

  And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete,
  it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
  For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from
  him shall be taken even that which he hath.  And he said, So is the
  kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should
  sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up,
  he knoweth not how.  For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself;
  first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
  But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the
  sickle, because the harvest is come.  And he said, Whereunto shall we
  liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?
  It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth,
  is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: But when it is sown,
  it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out
  great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow
  of it.  And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they
  were able to hear it.  But without a parable spake he not unto them:
  and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

passage: 2Cor 13:3-13:13



Chapter 13

  Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is
  not weak, but is mighty in you.  For though he was crucified through
  weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him,
  but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.  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
  reprobates?  But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
  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.
  For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.  For we
  are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish,
  even your perfection.  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.
  Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one
  mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.
  Greet one another with an holy kiss.  All the saints salute you.

passage: Mark 4:35-4:41



Chapter 4

  And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass
  over unto the other side.  And when they had sent away the multitude,
  they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him
  other little ships.  And there arose a great storm of wind, and the
  waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.  And he was in the
  hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and
  say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?  And he arose,
  and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the
  wind ceased, and there was a great calm.  And he said unto them, Why
  are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?  And they feared
  exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this,
  that even the wind and the sea obey him?

passage: Phil 2:5-2:11



Chapter 2

  Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in
  the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made
  himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and
  was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man,
  he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of
  the cross.  Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him
  a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee
  should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under
  the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is
  Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

passage: Luke 10:38-10:42



Chapter 10

  Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain
  village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house.
  And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and
  heard his word.  But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came
  to him, and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me
  to serve alone? bid her therefore that she help me.  And Jesus answered
  and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about
  many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good
  part, which shall not be taken away from her.

passage: Luke 11:27-11:28



Chapter 11

  And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the
  company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb
  that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.  But he said,
  Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

passage: Gal 2:6-2:10



Chapter 2

  But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh
  no matter to me: God accepteth no man's person:) for they who seemed
  to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me: But contrariwise,
  when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed
  unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; For he that
  wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision,
  the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) 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.
  Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also
  was forward to do.

passage: Mark 5:22-5:24



Chapter 5

  And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by
  name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet, And besought him greatly,
  saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come
  and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.
  And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.

passage: Mark 5:35-6:1

  While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's
  house certain which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the
  Master any further?  As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken,
  he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
  And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John
  the brother of James.  And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the
  synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
  And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado,
  and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.  And they laughed him
  to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and
  the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth
  in where the damsel was lying.  And he took the damsel by the hand,
  and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel,
  I say unto thee, arise.  And straightway the damsel arose, and walked;
  for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with
  a great astonishment.  And he charged them straitly that no man should
  know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.


Chapter 6

  And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his
  disciples follow him.

passage: 1Cor 2:6-2:9



Chapter 2

  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:
  But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom,
  which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the
  princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have
  crucified the Lord of glory.  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.

passage: Matt 10:37-11:1



Chapter 10

  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.
  And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy
  of me.  He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his
  life for my sake shall find it.  He that receiveth you receiveth me,
  and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.  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.  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.


Chapter 11

  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.

passage: Gal 6:11-6:18



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: John 3:13-3:17



Chapter 3

  And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven,
  even the Son of man which is in heaven.  And as Moses lifted up the
  serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
  That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
  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.
  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that
  the world through him might be saved.

passage: Gal 2:11-2:16



Chapter 2

  But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face,
  because he was to be blamed.  For before that certain came from James,
  he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew
  and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
  And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas
  also was carried away with their dissimulation.  But when I saw that they
  walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto
  Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of
  Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to
  live as do the Jews?  We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the
  Gentiles, 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.

passage: Mark 5:24-5:34



Chapter 5

  And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
  And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had
  suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had,
  and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, When she had heard of
  Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.  For she said,
  If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.  And straightway the
  fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was
  healed of that plague.  And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that
  virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said,
  Who touched my clothes?  And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest
  the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?  And he
  looked round about to see her that had done this thing.  But the woman
  fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down
  before him, and told him all the truth.  And he said unto her, Daughter,
  thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

passage: Gal 2:21-3:7



Chapter 2

  I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the
  law, then Christ is dead in vain.


Chapter 3

  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 you?  This only would I learn of you, Received ye the
  Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?  Are ye
  so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the
  flesh?  Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
  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?  Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him
  for righteousness.  Know ye therefore that they which are of faith,
  the same are the children of Abraham.

passage: Mark 6:1-6:7



Chapter 6

  And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his
  disciples follow him.  And when the sabbath day was come, he began to
  teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying,
  From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is
  given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
  Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James,
  and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here
  with us? And they were offended at him.  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.  And he could there do no mighty work,
  save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
  And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the
  villages, teaching.  And he called unto him the twelve, and began to
  send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;

passage: 1Cor 1:18-1:24



Chapter 1

  For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but
  unto us which are saved it is the power of God.  For it is written,
  I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing
  the understanding of the prudent.  Where is the wise? where is the
  scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish
  the wisdom of this world?  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.  For the Jews require a sign,
  and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto
  the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto
  them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God,
  and the wisdom of God.

passage: John 19:6-19:11



Chapter 19

  When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out,
  saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him,
  and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.  The Jews answered him, We
  have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the
  Son of God.  When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more
  afraid; And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus,
  Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.  Then saith Pilate unto
  him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to
  crucify thee, and have power to release thee?  Jesus answered, Thou
  couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from
  above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.

passage: John 19:13-19:20

  When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and
  sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement,
  but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha.  And it was the preparation of the passover,
  and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
  But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate
  saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered,
  We have no king but Caesar.  Then delivered he him therefore unto
  them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.  And he
  bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull,
  which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha: Where they crucified him,
  and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
  And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was
  JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS.  This title then read many of
  the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city:
  and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

passage: John 19:25-19:28

  Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother's
  sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.  When Jesus
  therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved,
  he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!  Then saith he to the
  disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her
  unto his own home.  After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now
  accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.

passage: John 19:30-19:35

  When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished:
  and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.  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.  Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first,
  and of the other which was crucified with him.  But when they came to
  Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs: But
  one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came
  there out blood and water.  And he that saw it bare record, and his
  record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.

passage: Gal 3:23-4:5



Chapter 3

  But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the
  faith which should afterwards be revealed.  Wherefore the law was
  our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified
  by faith.  But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a
  schoolmaster.  For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ
  Jesus.  For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on
  Christ.  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.
  And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according
  to the promise.


Chapter 4

  Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing
  from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and
  governors until the time appointed of the father.  Even so we, when
  we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: But
  when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of
  a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law,
  that we might receive the adoption of sons.

passage: Mark 6:30-6:45



Chapter 6

  And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told
  him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
  And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place,
  and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had
  no leisure so much as to eat.  And they departed into a desert place by
  ship privately.  And the people saw them departing, and many knew him,
  and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came
  together unto him.  And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and
  was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not
  having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.  And when
  the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This
  is a desert place, and now the time is far passed: Send them away,
  that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages,
  and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.  He answered
  and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall
  we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
  He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they
  knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.  And he commanded them to make
  all sit down by companies upon the green grass.  And they sat down in
  ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.  And when he had taken the five
  loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and
  brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them;
  and the two fishes divided he among them all.  And they did all eat,
  and were filled.  And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments,
  and of the fishes.  And they that did eat of the loaves were about
  five thousand men.  And straightway he constrained his disciples to
  get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida,
  while he sent away the people.

passage: Gal 4:8-4:21



Chapter 4

  Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did service unto them which
  by nature are no gods.  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?  Ye observe days,
  and months, and times, and years.  I am afraid of you, lest I have
  bestowed upon you labour in vain.  Brethren, I beseech you, be as I am;
  for I am as ye are: ye have not injured me at all.  Ye know how through
  infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the first.
  And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected;
  but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.  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.  Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
  They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you,
  that ye might affect them.  But it is good to be zealously affected
  always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
  My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be
  formed in you, I desire to be present with you now, and to change my
  voice; for I stand in doubt of you.  Tell me, ye that desire to be
  under the law, do ye not hear the law?

passage: Mark 6:45-6:53



Chapter 6

  And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship,
  and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away
  the people.  And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain
  to pray.  And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea,
  and he alone on the land.  And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the
  wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he
  cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
  But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been
  a spirit, and cried out: For they all saw him, and were troubled. And
  immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer:
  it is I; be not afraid.  And he went up unto them into the ship; and the
  wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure,
  and wondered.  For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for
  their heart was hardened.  And when they had passed over, they came
  into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.

passage: 1Cor 2:6-2:9



Chapter 2

  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:
  But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom,
  which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the
  princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have
  crucified the Lord of glory.  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.

passage: Matt 10:37-11:1



Chapter 10

  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.
  And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy
  of me.  He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his
  life for my sake shall find it.  He that receiveth you receiveth me,
  and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.  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.  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.


Chapter 11

  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.

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: Mark 8:34-9:1



Chapter 8

  And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also,
  he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself,
  and take up his cross, and follow me.  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.  For what shall it profit a man, if
  he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?  Or what shall a
  man give in exchange for his soul?  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.


Chapter 9

  And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of
  them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have
  seen the kingdom of God come with power.
