But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. read more All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

And there was a young man out of Bethlehemjudah of the family of Judah, who <i>wasi> a Levite, and he sojourned there.

When they <i>werei> by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite: and they turned in thither, and said unto him, Who brought thee hither? and what makest thou in this <i>placei>? and what hast thou here?
Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that <i>werei> therein, how they dwelt careless, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; and <i>there wasi> no magistrate in the land, that might put <i>themi> to shame in <i>anyi> thing; and they <i>werei> far from the Zidonians, and had no business with <i>anyi> man.
And they turned thitherward, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, <i>eveni> unto the house of Micah, and saluted him.
And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: <i>is iti> better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?
And <i>there wasi> no deliverer, because it <i>wasi> far from Zidon, and they had no business with <i>anyi> man; and it was in the valley that <i>liethi> by Bethrehob. And they built a city, and dwelt therein.
And they sat down, and did eat and drink both of them together: for the damsel's father had said unto the man, Be content, i pray thee, and tarry all night, and let thine heart be merry.
And when the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father in law, the damsel's father, said unto him, Behold, now the day draweth toward evening, i pray you tarry all night: behold, the day groweth to an end, lodge here, that thine heart may be merry; and to morrow get you early on your way, that thou mayest go home.
But the man would not tarry that night, but he rose up and departed, and came over against Jebus, which <i>isi> Jerusalem; and <i>there werei> with him two asses saddled, his concubine also <i>wasi> with him.
And they turned aside thither, to go in <i>andi> to lodge in Gibeah: and when he went in, he sat him down in a street of the city: for <i>there wasi> no man that took them into his house to lodging.
And, behold, there came an old man from his work out of the field at even, which <i>wasi> also of mount Ephraim; and he sojourned in Gibeah: but the men of the place <i>werei> Benjamites.
And he said unto him, We <i>arei> passing from Bethlehemjudah toward the side of mount Ephraim; from thence <i>ami> i: and i went to Bethlehemjudah, but i <i>am nowi> going to the house of the LORD; and there <i>isi> no man that receiveth me to house.
Yet there is both straw and provender for our asses; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for thy handmaid, and for the young man <i>which isi> with thy servants: <i>there isi> no want of any thing.
And the old man said, Peace <i>bei> with thee; howsoever <i>leti> all thy wants <i>liei> upon me; only lodge not in the street.
<i>Nowi> as they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain sons of Belial, beset the house round about, <i>andi> beat at the door, and spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thine house, that we may know him.
And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, <i>nayi>, i pray you, do not <i>soi> wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house, do not this folly.
Behold, <i>here isi> my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them i will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.
Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord <i>wasi>, till it was light.
And he said unto her, Up, and let us be going. But none answered. Then the man took her <i>upi> upon an ass, and the man rose up, and gat him unto his place.
And all the people arose as one man, saying, We will not any <i>of usi> go to his tent, neither will we any <i>of usi> turn into his house.
And this <i>isi> the thing that ye shall do, Ye shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman that hath lain by man.
And they found among the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead four hundred young virgins, that had known no man by lying with any male: and they brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which <i>isi> in the land of Canaan.
And it shall be, when their fathers or their brethren come unto us to complain, that we will say unto them, Be favourable unto them for our sakes: because we reserved not to each man his wife in the war: for ye did not give unto them at this time, <i>thati> ye should be guilty.
In those days <i>there wasi> no king in Israel: every man did <i>that which wasi> right in his own eyes.
And the name of the man <i>wasi> Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehemjudah. And they came into the country of Moab, and continued there.
And Naomi had a kinsman of her husband's, a mighty man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name <i>wasi> Boaz.
And her mother in law said unto her, Where hast thou gleaned to day? and where wroughtest thou? blessed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And she shewed her mother in law with whom she had wrought, and said, The man's name with whom i wrought to day <i>isi> Boaz.
Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: <i>buti> make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.
And when she came to her mother in law, she said, Who <i>arti> thou, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done to her.
Now this <i>was the manneri> in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave <i>iti> to his neighbour: and this <i>wasi> a testimony in Israel.
Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name <i>wasi> Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:
And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, <i>werei> there.
And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then i will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no rasor come upon his head.
And the priests' custom with the people <i>was, thati>, when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant came, while the flesh was in seething, with a fleshhook of three teeth in his hand;
And <i>ifi> any man said unto him, Let them not fail to burn the fat presently, and <i>theni> take <i>as muchi> as thy soul desireth; then he would answer him, <i>Nayi>; but thou shalt give <i>it mei> now: and if not, i will take <i>iti> by force.
And there came a man of God unto Eli, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Did i plainly appear unto the house of thy father, when they were in Egypt in Pharaoh's house?
Behold, the days come, that i will cut off thine arm, and the arm of thy father's house, that there shall not be an old man in thine house.
And thou shalt see an enemy <i>in myi> habitation, in all <i>the wealthi> which <i>Godi> shall give Israel: and there shall not be an old man in thine house for ever.
And the man of thine, <i>whomi> i shall not cut off from mine altar, <i>shall bei> to consume thine eyes, and to grieve thine heart: and all the increase of thine house shall die in the flower of their age.
And when he came, lo, Eli sat upon a seat by the wayside watching: for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city, and told <i>iti>, all the city cried out.
And when Eli heard the noise of the crying, he said, What <i>meanethi> the noise of this tumult? And the man came in hastily, and told Eli.
And the man said unto Eli, i <i>ami> he that came out of the army, and i fled to day out of the army. And he said, What is there done, my son?
Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name <i>wasi> Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.
And he had a son, whose name <i>wasi> Saul, a choice young man, and a goodly: and <i>there wasi> not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward <i>he wasi> higher than any of the people.
And he said unto him, Behold now, <i>there isi> in this city a man of God, and <i>he isi> an honourable man; all that he saith cometh surely to pass: now let us go thither; peradventure he can shew us our way that we should go.
Then said Saul to his servant, But, behold, <i>ifi> we go, what shall we bring the man? for the bread is spent in our vessels, and <i>there isi> not a present to bring to the man of God: what have we?
And the servant answered Saul again, and said, Behold, i have here at hand the fourth part of a shekel of silver: <i>thati> will i give to the man of God, to tell us our way.
(Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for <i>he that isi> now <i>calledi> a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)
Then said Saul to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went unto the city where the man of God <i>wasi>.
To morrow about this time i will send thee a man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him <i>to bei> captain over my people Israel, that he may save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for i have looked upon my people, because their cry is come unto me.
And when Samuel saw Saul, the LORD said unto him, Behold the man whom i spake to thee of! this same shall reign over my people.
Then Samuel told the people the manner of the kingdom, and wrote <i>iti> in a book, and laid <i>iti> up before the LORD. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.
And the elders of Jabesh said unto him, Give us seven days' respite, that we may send messengers unto all the coasts of Israel: and then, if <i>there bei> no man to save us, we will come out to thee.
Saul chose him three thousand <i>meni> of Israel; <i>whereofi> two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in mount Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin: and the rest of the people he sent every man to his tent.
But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him <i>to bei> captain over his people, because thou hast not kept <i>thati> which the LORD commanded thee.
Now it came to pass upon a day, that Jonathan the son of Saul said unto the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the Philistines' garrison, that <i>isi> on the other side. But he told not his father.
And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that the LORD will work for us: for <i>there isi> no restraint to the LORD to save by many or by few.
And Saul and all the people that <i>werei> with him assembled themselves, and they came to the battle: and, behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, <i>and there wasi> a very great discomfiture.
And the men of Israel were distressed that day: for Saul had adjured the people, saying, Cursed <i>bei> the man that eateth <i>anyi> food until evening, that i may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the people tasted <i>anyi> food.
Then answered one of the people, and said, Thy father straitly charged the people with an oath, saying, Cursed <i>bei> the man that eateth <i>anyi> food this day. And the people were faint.
And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say unto them, Bring me hither every man his ox, and every man his sheep, and slay <i>themi> here, and eat; and sin not against the LORD in eating with the blood. And all the people brought every man his ox with him that night, and slew <i>themi> there.
For, <i>asi> the LORD liveth, which saveth Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But <i>there wasi> not a man among all the people <i>thati> answered him.
And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he <i>isi> not a man, that he should repent.
But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because i have refused him: for <i>the LORD seethi> not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
Let our lord now command thy servants, <i>which arei> before thee, to seek out a man, <i>who isi> a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee, that he shall play with his hand, and thou shalt be well.
And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring <i>himi> to me.
Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, i have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, <i>that isi> cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD <i>isi> with him.
And he stood and cried unto the armies of Israel, and said unto them, Why are ye come out to set <i>youri> battle in array? <i>ami> not i a Philistine, and ye servants to Saul? choose you a man for you, and let him come down to me.
And the Philistine said, i defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.
Now David <i>wasi> the son of that Ephrathite of Bethlehemjudah, whose name <i>wasi> Jesse; and he had eight sons: and the man went among men <i>fori> an old man in the days of Saul.
And the men of Israel said, Have ye seen this man that is come up? surely to defy Israel is he come up: and it shall be, <i>thati> the man who killeth him, the king will enrich him with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's house free in Israel.
And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who <i>isi> this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?
And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou <i>art buti> a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.
And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield <i>wenti> before him.
And Saul said to him, Whose son <i>arti> thou, <i>thoui> young man? And David answered, <i>i ami> the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite.
And Saul's servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you <i>ai> light <i>thingi> to be a king's son in law, seeing that i <i>ami> a poor man, and lightly esteemed?

i have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending <i>themi>, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which i have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.
It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which i purpose to do unto them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that i may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained <i>buti> wounded men among them, <i>yeti> should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, saying, Let me go, i pray thee, and i will slay Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know <i>iti>: wherefore should he slay thee, that all the Jews which are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant in Judah perish?
And it came to pass the second day after he had slain Gedaliah, and no man knew <i>iti>,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that i have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they <i>arei> a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein,

Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, i have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord GOD liveth.

Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but i will suddenly make him run away from her: and who <i>isi> a chosen <i>man, thati> i may appoint over her? for who <i>isi> like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who <i>isi> that shepherd that will stand before me?

For, lo, i will raise and cause to come up against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken: their arrows <i>shall bei> as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour <i>citiesi> thereof, saith the LORD; <i>soi> shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.

Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but i will make them suddenly run away from her: and who <i>isi> a chosen <i>man, thati> i may appoint over her? for who <i>isi> like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who <i>isi> that shepherd that will stand before me?
Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this <i>isi> the time of the LORD'S vengeance; he will render unto her a recompence.
Every man is brutish by <i>hisi> knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image <i>isi> falsehood, and <i>there isi> no breath in them.

Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwelleth, neither doth <i>anyi> son of man pass thereby.
<i>It isi> good that <i>a mani> should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, <i>andi> no man breaketh <i>iti> unto them.
Also out of the midst thereof <i>camei> the likeness of four living creatures. And this <i>wasi> their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.
And <i>they hadi> the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings.

And he said unto me, Son of man, i send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: they and their fathers have transgressed against me, <i>eveni> unto this very day.
And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns <i>bei> with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they <i>bei> a rebellious house.
But thou, son of man, hear what i say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that i give thee.
And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that i give thee. Then did i eat <i>iti>; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, all my words that i shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
Son of man, i have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
When i say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked <i>mani> shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will i require at thine hand.
Again, When a righteous <i>mani> doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and i lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will i require at thine hand.
Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous <i>mani>, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.
Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, <i>eveni> Jerusalem:

Then he said unto me, Lo, i have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, i will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
And thou, son of man, take thee a sharp knife, take thee a barber's rasor, and cause <i>iti> to pass upon thine head and upon thy beard: then take thee balances to weigh, and divide the <i>hairi>.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So i lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward at the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
He said furthermore unto me, Son of man, seest thou what they do? <i>eveni> the great abominations that the house of Israel committeth here, that i should go far off from my sanctuary? but turn thee yet again, <i>andi> thou shalt see greater abominations.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when i had digged in the wall, behold a door.
Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen <i>thisi>, O son of man? turn thee yet again, <i>andi> thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen <i>thisi>, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man <i>withi> his destroying weapon in his hand.
And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them <i>wasi> clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which <i>hadi> the writer's inkhorn by his side;
Slay utterly old <i>andi> young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom <i>isi> the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which <i>werei> before the house.
And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which <i>hadi> the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, i have done as thou hast commanded me.
And he spake unto the man clothed with linen, and said, Go in between the wheels, <i>eveni> under the cherub, and fill thine hand with coals of fire from between the cherubims, and scatter <i>themi> over the city. And he went in in my sight.
And it came to pass, <i>thati> when he had commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, Take fire from between the wheels, from between the cherubims; then he went in, and stood beside the wheels.
And every one had four faces: the first face <i>wasi> the face of a cherub, and the second face <i>wasi> the face of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.
Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man <i>wasi> under their wings.
Then said he unto me, Son of man, these <i>arei> the men that devise mischief, and give wicked counsel in this city:

Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see, and see not; they have ears to hear, and hear not: for they <i>arei> a rebellious house.

Son of man, what <i>isi> that proverb <i>thati> ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
Son of man, behold, <i>they ofi> the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth <i>isi> for many days <i>to comei>, and he prophesieth of the times <i>that arei> far off.
Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should i be inquired of at all by them?
Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; i the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols;
And i will set my face against that man, and will make him a sign and a proverb, and i will cut him off from the midst of my people; and ye shall know that i <i>ami> the LORD.
Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will i stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:

Or <i>ifi> i bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that i cut off man and beast from it:
Or <i>ifi> i send a pestilence into that land, and pour out my fury upon it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast:
For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when i send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?
Son of man, What is the vine tree more than any tree, <i>or thani> a branch which is among the trees of the forest?

But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, <i>andi> doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked <i>mani> doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
When a righteous <i>mani> turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
Again, when the wicked <i>mani> turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.

Then said i unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: i <i>ami> the LORD your God.
But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then i said, i will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.
And i gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which <i>ifi> a man do, he shall even live in them.
But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which <i>ifi> a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then i said, i would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which <i>ifi> a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then i said, i would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness. Nevertheless i withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight i brought them forth.

For <i>there isi> no man <i>thati> doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because i have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver <i>himi> into the hands of the Gentiles.
Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all <i>meni> every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
But Paul said, i am a man <i>which ami> a Jew of Tarsus, <i>a cityi> in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, i beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people.
i am verily a man <i>which ami> a Jew, born in Tarsus, <i>a cityi> in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, <i>andi> taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt <i>therei>,
When the centurion heard <i>thati>, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
Then Paul called one of the centurions unto <i>himi>, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a certain thing to tell him.
So he took him, and brought <i>himi> to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto <i>himi>, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee.
So the chief captain <i>theni> let the young man depart, and charged <i>him, See thoui> tell no man that thou hast shewed these things to me.
This man was taken of the Jews, and should have been killed of them: then came i with an army, and rescued him, having understood that he was a Roman.
And when it was told me how that the Jews laid wait for the man, i sent straightway to thee, and gave commandment to his accusers also to say before thee what <i>they hadi> against him. Farewell.
Let them therefore, said he, which among you are able, go down with <i>mei>, and accuse this man, if there be any wickedness in him.
For if i be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, i refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. i appeal unto Caesar.
To whom i answered, It is not the manner of the Romans to deliver any man to die, before that he which is accused have the accusers face to face, and have licence to answer for himself concerning the crime laid against him.
Therefore, when they were come hither, without any delay on the morrow i sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the man to be brought forth.
Then Agrippa said unto Festus, i would also hear the man myself. To morrow, said he, thou shalt hear him.
And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all men which are here present with us, ye see this man, about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and <i>alsoi> here, crying that he ought not to live any longer.
And now i exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of <i>any man'si> life among you, but of the ship.
And when the barbarians saw the <i>venomousi> beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? <i>Isi> God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (i speak as a man)
But not as the offence, so also <i>isi> the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, <i>which isi> by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with <i>himi>, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Know ye not, brethren, (for i speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
So then if, while <i>heri> husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.
Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed <i>iti>, Why hast thou made me thus?
For i say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think <i>of himselfi> more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day <i>alikei>. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth <i>iti> unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard <i>iti>. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks.
Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in <i>hisi> brother's way.
For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed <i>arei> pure; but <i>it isi> evil for that man who eateth with offence. <i>It isi> good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor <i>any thingi> whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. Hast thou faith? have <i>iti> to thyself before God. Happy <i>isi> he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.
Yea, so have i strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest i should build upon another man's foundation:
And my speech and my preaching <i>wasi> not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know <i>themi>, because they are spiritually discerned.
Who then is Paul, and who <i>isi> Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, i have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which <i>templei> ye are.
But with me it is a very small thing that i should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, i judge not mine own self. For i know nothing by myself; yet am i not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
But now i have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
i speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: <i>It isi> good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, <i>to avoidi> 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 <i>it bei> 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, <i>andi> 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, <i>yeti> not i, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from <i>heri> husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to <i>heri> husband: and let not the husband put away <i>hisi> 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 <i>casesi>: but God hath called us to peace. For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save <i>thyi> husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save <i>thyi> 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 <i>beingi> a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use <i>iti> rather. For he that is called in the Lord, <i>beingi> a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, <i>beingi> 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>i sayi>, that <i>it isi> 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 <i>isi> 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 <i>iti>: 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 <i>hisi> wife. There is difference <i>alsoi> 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 <i>heri> 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 <i>heri> 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 <i>heri> in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth <i>heri> 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
Nevertheless, <i>to avoidi> fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
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.
For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save <i>thyi> husband? or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save <i>thyi> 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.
i suppose therefore that this is good for the present distress, <i>i sayi>, that <i>it isi> good for a man so to be.
But if any man think that he behaveth himself uncomely toward his virgin, if she pass the flower of <i>heri> age, and need so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them marry.
Howbeit <i>there isi> not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat <i>iti> as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
But i have used none of these things: neither have i written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for <i>it werei> better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they <i>do iti> to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God <i>isi> faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear <i>iti>.
But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth <i>isi> the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
Conscience, i say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another <i>man'si> conscience?
But i would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman <i>isi> the man; and the head of Christ <i>isi> God.
Every man praying or prophesying, having <i>hisi> head covered, dishonoureth his head.
For a man indeed ought not to cover <i>hisi> head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
For as the woman <i>isi> of the man, even so <i>isi> the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of <i>thati> bread, and drink of <i>thati> cup.
And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will i set in order when i come.
Wherefore i give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and <i>thati> no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
When i was a child, i spake as a child, i understood as a child, i thought as a child: but when i became a man, i put away childish things.
For he that speaketh in an <i>unknowni> tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth <i>himi>; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
If any man speak in an <i>unknowni> tongue, <i>let it bei> by two, or at the most <i>byi> three, and <i>thati> by course; and let one interpret.
If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that i write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
For since by man <i>camei> death, by man <i>camei> also the resurrection of the dead.
But some <i>mani> will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? <i>Thoui> fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other <i>graini>: But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. read more All flesh <i>isi> not the same flesh: but <i>there isi> one <i>kind ofi> flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, <i>andi> another of birds. <i>There arei> also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial <i>isi> one, and the <i>gloryi> of the terrestrial <i>isi> another. <i>There isi> one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for <i>onei> star differeth from <i>anotheri> star in glory. So also <i>isi> the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam <i>was madei> a quickening spirit. Howbeit that <i>wasi> not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man <i>isi> of the earth, earthy: the second man <i>isi> the Lord from heaven. As <i>isi> the earthy, such <i>arei> they also that are earthy: and as <i>isi> the heavenly, such <i>arei> they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this i say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, i shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal <i>musti> put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where <i>isi> thy sting? O grave, where <i>isi> thy victory? The sting of death <i>isi> sin; and the strength of sin <i>isi> the law. But thanks <i>bei> to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. show less
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam <i>was madei> a quickening spirit.
The first man <i>isi> of the earth, earthy: the second man <i>isi> the Lord from heaven.
Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct him forth in peace, that he may come unto me: for i look for him with the brethren.
Sufficient to such a man <i>isi> this punishment, which <i>was inflictedi> of many.
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward <i>mani> is renewed day by day.
Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we <i>himi> no more.
Therefore if any man <i>bei> in Christ, <i>he isi> a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
For if there be first a willing mind, <i>it isi> accepted according to that a man hath, <i>andi> not according to that he hath not.
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, <i>so let him givei>; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
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 <i>isi> Christ's, even so <i>arei> we Christ's.
To preach the gospel in the <i>regionsi> beyond you, <i>andi> not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
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 <i>thingsi> i have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and <i>soi> will i keep <i>myselfi>.
i say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that i may boast myself a little. That which i speak, i speak <i>iti> not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting. Seeing that many glory after the flesh, i will glory also. For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye <i>yourselvesi> are wise. read more For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour <i>youi>, if a man take <i>of youi>, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face. i speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold, (i speak foolishly,) i am bold also. Are they Hebrews? so <i>ami> i. Are they Israelites? so <i>ami> i. Are they the seed of Abraham? so <i>ami> i. Are they ministers of Christ? (i speak as a fool) i <i>ami> more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. Of the Jews five times received i forty <i>stripesi> save one. Thrice was i beaten with rods, once was i stoned, thrice i suffered shipwreck, a night and a day i have been in the deep; <i>Ini> journeyings often, <i>ini> perils of waters, <i>ini> perils of robbers, <i>ini> perils by <i>mine owni> countrymen, <i>ini> perils by the heathen, <i>ini> perils in the city, <i>ini> perils in the wilderness, <i>ini> perils in the sea, <i>ini> perils among false brethren; In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. Who is weak, and i am not weak? who is offended, and i burn not? If i must needs glory, i will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities. The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that i lie not. In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me: And through a window in a basket was i let down by the wall, and escaped his hands. show less
For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour <i>youi>, if a man take <i>of youi>, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
i knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, i cannot tell; or whether out of the body, i cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. And i knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, i cannot tell: God knoweth;) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
And i knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, i cannot tell: God knoweth;)
For though i would desire to glory, i shall not be a fool; for i will say the truth: but <i>nowi> i forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me <i>to bei>, or <i>thati> he heareth of me.
As we said before, so say i now again, If any <i>mani> preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
But i certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
For i neither received it of man, neither was i taught <i>iti>, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
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 <i>to be somewhati> in conference added nothing to me:
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, <i>it isi> evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Brethren, i speak after the manner of men; Though <i>it bei> but a man's covenant, yet <i>if it bei> confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
For i testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
From henceforth let no man trouble me: for i bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, <i>eveni> the law of commandments <i>containedi> in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, <i>soi> making peace;
Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether <i>he bei> bond or free.
Though i might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, i more:
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 <i>daysi>:
And have put on the new <i>mani>, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also <i>doi> ye.
Let your speech <i>bei> alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
That no <i>mani> go beyond and defraud his brother in <i>anyi> matter: because that the Lord <i>isi> the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
See that none render evil for evil unto any <i>mani>; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all <i>meni>.
Let no man deceive you by any means: for <i>that day shall not comei>, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
For <i>there isi> one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
But i suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
This <i>isi> a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, <i>eveni> the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom <i>bei> honour and power everlasting. Amen.
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of <i>thisi> life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
And if a man also strive for masteries, <i>yeti> is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, <i>andi> prepared unto every good work.
At my first answer no man stood with me, but all <i>meni> forsook me: <i>i pray Godi> that it may not be laid to their charge. Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and <i>thati> all the Gentiles might hear: and i was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve <i>mei> unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom <i>bei> glory for ever and ever. Amen.
To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, <i>buti> gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
For this <i>mani> was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as <i>wasi> Aaron.
Now consider how great this man <i>wasi>, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore <i>it isi> of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.
Now the just shall live by faith: but if <i>any mani> draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Follow peace with all <i>meni>, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble <i>youi>, and thereby many be defiled;
So that we may boldly say, The Lord <i>isi> my helper, and i will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Blessed <i>isi> the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Let no man say when he is tempted, i am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth <i>thereini>, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion <i>isi> vain.
What <i>doth iti> profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be <i>yei> warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what <i>doth iti> profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. read more Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and i have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and i will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent <i>themi> out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. show less
Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and i have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and i will shew thee my faith by my works.
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same <i>isi> a perfect man, <i>andi> able also to bridle the whole body.
Who <i>isi> a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
Confess <i>youri> faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning <i>herei> in fear:
For all flesh <i>isi> as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
For this <i>isi> thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
But <i>let it bei> the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, <i>even the ornamenti> of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and <i>bei> ready always to <i>givei> an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
As every man hath received the gift, <i>even soi> minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
If any man speak, <i>let him speaki> as the oracles of God; if any man minister, <i>let him do iti> as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Yet if <i>any man sufferi> as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake <i>as they werei> moved by the Holy Ghost.
(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed <i>hisi> righteous soul from day to day with <i>theiri> unlawful deeds;)
My little children, these things write i unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
Love not the world, neither the things <i>that arei> in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
If a man say, i love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
If any man see his brother sin a sin <i>which isi> not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: i do not say that he shall pray for it.
And in the midst of the seven candlesticks <i>onei> like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will i give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth <i>iti>.
i know thy works: behold, i have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Behold, i stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, i will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
And the first beast <i>wasi> like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast <i>wasi> like a flying eagle.
And i wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
After this i beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment <i>wasi> as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and <i>toi> his throne.
And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man <i>childi>.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number <i>isi> Six hundred threescore <i>andi> six.
And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred <i>andi> forty <i>andi> four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive <i>hisi> mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
And i looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud <i>onei> sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead <i>mani>: and every living soul died in the sea.
His eyes <i>werei> as a flame of fire, and on his head <i>werei> many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred <i>andi> forty <i>andi> four cubits, <i>according toi> the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
And, behold, i come quickly; and my reward <i>isi> with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
For i testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and <i>fromi> the things which are written in this book.
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and <i>fromi> the things which are written in this book.
