And houses full of all Good Things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;

And for the precious Things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the Good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren.

And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the Good Things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.

Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all Good Things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil Things, until he have destroyed you from off this Good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

Nevertheless there are Good Things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the groves out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God.

Yet he filled their houses with Good Things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

{To the chief Musician upon Shoshannim, for the sons of Korah, Maschil, A Song of loves.} My heart is inditing a Good matter: I speak of the Things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

• Righteous

Who satisfieth thy mouth with Good Things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

These Things also belong to the wise. It is not Good to have respect of persons in judgment.

Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have Good Things in possession.

All Things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the Good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as is the Good, so is the sinner; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.

Shew the Things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do Good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.

Your iniquities have turned away these Things, and your sins have withholden Good Things from you.

If ye then, being evil, know how to give Good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give Good Things to them that ask him?

• Heart

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak Good Things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

A Good man out of the Good treasure of the heart bringeth forth Good Things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil Things.

His lord said unto him, Well done, thou Good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few Things, I will make thee ruler over many Things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

His lord said unto him, Well done, Good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few Things, I will make thee ruler over many Things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

It seemed Good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all Things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,

He hath filled the hungry with Good Things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.

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.

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these Things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed Good in thy sight.

These Things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of Good cheer; I have overcome the world.

For it seemed Good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary Things;

And we know that all Things work together for Good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of Good Things!

• Continence

Now concerning the Things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is Good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. read more Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is Good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn. And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife. But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hath called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches. Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God. Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant. Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men. Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God. Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord: yet I give my judgment, as one that hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. I suppose therefore that this is Good for the present distress, I say, that it is Good for a man so to be. Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife. But and if thou marry, thou hast not sinned; and if a virgin marry, she hath not sinned. Nevertheless such shall have trouble in the flesh: but I spare you. But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; And they that weep, as though they wept not; and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not; and they that buy, as though they possessed not; And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away. But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the Things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: But he that is married careth for the Things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the Things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the Things of the world, how she may please her husband. And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of her age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry. Nevertheless he that standeth stedfast in his heart, having no necessity, but hath power over his own will, and hath so decreed in his heart that he will keep his virgin, doeth well. So then he that giveth her in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better. The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God. show less

• Works

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.

• Power

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all Things, may abound to every Good work:

Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all Good Things.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever Things are true, whatsoever Things are honest, whatsoever Things are just, whatsoever Things are pure, whatsoever Things are lovely, whatsoever Things are of Good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these Things.

Prove all Things; hold fast that which is Good.

If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these Things, thou shalt be a Good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of Good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.

• Quickening

I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all Things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a Good confession;

The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of Good Things;

• Intercession

Pray for us: for we trust we have a Good conscience, in all Things willing to live honestly.
