Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!

But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.

And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.

Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
