Bible verses in King James Version
John 14
1 Let not
your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my
Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would
have told you. I go
to prepare a place for you.
3 And if
I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive
you unto myself; that
where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither
I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas
saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and
how can we know the
way?
6 Jesus
saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father,
but by me.
7 If ye
had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from
henceforth ye know him,
and have seen him.
8 Philip
saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus
saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast
thou not known me, Philip?
he that hath seen me hath seen the Father;
and how sayest thou
then, Show us the Father?
10 Believest
thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the
words that I speak unto
you I speak not of myself: but the Father that
dwelleth in me, he doeth
the works.
11 Believe
me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else
believe me for the very
works' sake.
12 Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that
I do shall he do also;
and greater works than these shall he do; because I
go unto my Father.
13 And whatsoever
ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the
Father may be glorified
in the Son.
14 If ye
shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye
love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I
will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with
you for ever;
17 Even
the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it
seeth him not, neither
knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with
you, and shall be in
you.
18 I will
not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
19 Yet a
little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me:
because I live, ye shall
live also.
20 At that
day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I
in you.
21 He that
hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that
loveth me: and he that
loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will
love him, and will manifest
myself to him.
22 Judas
saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt
manifest thyself unto
us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus
answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my
words: and my Father
will love him, and we will come unto him, and make
our abode with him.
24 He that
loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which
ye hear is not mine,
but the Father's which sent me.
25 These
things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the
Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send
in my name, he shall
teach you all things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever
I have said unto you.
27 Peace
I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world
giveth, give I unto
you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be
afraid.
28 Ye have
heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto
you. If ye loved me,
ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the
Father: for my Father
is greater than I.
29 And now
I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come
to pass, ye might believe.
30 Hereafter
I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world
cometh, and hath nothing
in me.
31 But that
the world may know that I love the Father; and as the
Father gave me commandment,
even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
Psalm 27
1 The LORD
is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is
the strength of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the
wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to
eat up my flesh, they
stumbled and fell.
3 Though
an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:
though war should rise
against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing
have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may
dwell in the house of
the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty
of the LORD, and to
enquire in his temple.
5 For in
the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret
of his tabernacle shall
he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now
shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about
me: therefore will I
offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea,
I will sing praises
unto the LORD.
7 Hear,
O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me,
and answer me.
8 When thou
saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy
face, LORD, will I seek.
9 Hide not
thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou
hast been my help; leave
me not, neither forsake me, O God of my
salvation.
10 When
my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take
me up.
11 Teach
me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of
mine enemies.
12 Deliver
me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses
are risen up against
me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I had
fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
14 Wait
on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine
heart: wait, I say,
on the LORD.
Psalm 51
1 Have mercy
upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness:
according unto the multitude
of thy tender mercies blot out my
transgressions.
2 Wash me
throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I
acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against
thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight:
that thou mightest be
justified when thou speakest, and be clear when
thou judgest.
5 Behold,
I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold,
thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part
thou shalt make me to
know wisdom.
7 Purge
me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be
whiter than snow.
8 Make me
to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast
broken may rejoice.
9 Hide thy
face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Create
in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
11 Cast
me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit
from me.
12 Restore
unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free
spirit.
13 Then
will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be
converted unto thee.
14 Deliver
me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and
my tongue shall sing
aloud of thy righteousness.
15 O Lord,
open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
16 For thou
desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest
not in burnt offering.
17 The sacrifices
of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite
heart, O God, thou wilt
not despise.
18 Do good
in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of
Jerusalem.
19 Then
shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with
burnt offering and whole
burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon
thine altar.
Matt. 6:19-34
19 Lay not
up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust
doth corrupt, and where
thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay
up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor
rust doth corrupt, and
where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where
your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light
of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy
whole body shall be
full of light.
23 But if
thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If
therefore the light
that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man
can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and
love the other; or else
he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye
cannot serve God and
mammon.
25 Therefore
I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall
eat, or what ye shall
drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is
not the life more than
meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold
the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap,
nor gather into barns;
yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not
much better than they?
27 Which
of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why
take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field,
how they grow; they
toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet
I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of
these.
30 Wherefore,
if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and
to morrow is cast into
the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye
of little faith?
31 Therefore
take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall
we drink? or, Wherewithal
shall we be clothed?
32 (For
after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly
Father knoweth that
ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek
ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be
added unto you.
34 Take
therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take
thought for the things
of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Psalm 91
1
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under
the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will
say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him
will I trust.
3 Surely
he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the
noisome pestilence.
4 He shall
cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou
trust: his truth shall
be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt
not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that
flieth by day;
6 Nor for
the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction
that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand
shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but it shall not come
nigh thee.
8 Only with
thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the
wicked.
9 Because
thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most
High, thy habitation;
10 There
shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy
dwelling.
11 For he
shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy
ways.
12 They
shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against
a stone.
13 Thou
shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the
dragon shalt thou trample
under feet.
14 Because
he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I
will set him on high,
because he hath known my name.
15 He shall
call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in
trouble; I will deliver
him, and honour him.
16 With
long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
Psalm 139
1 O lord,
thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Thou knowest
my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest
my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest
my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with
all my ways.
4 For there
is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it
altogether.
5 Thou hast
beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge
is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto
it.
7 Whither
shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy
presence?
8 If I ascend
up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell,
behold, thou art there.
9 If I take
the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of
the sea;
10 Even
there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
11 If I
say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be
light about me.
12 Yea,
the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the
day: the darkness and
the light are both alike to thee.
13 For thou
hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my
mother's womb.
14 I will
praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous
are thy works; and that
my soul knoweth right well.
15 My substance
was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and
curiously wrought in
the lowest parts of the earth.
16 Thine
eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy
book all my members
were written, which in continuance were fashioned,
when as yet there was
none of them.
17 How precious
also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the
sum of them!
18 If I
should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when
I awake, I am still
with thee.
19 Surely
thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye
bloody men.
20 For they
speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy
name in vain.
21 Do not
I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved
with those that rise
up against thee?
22 I hate
them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23 Search
me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my
thoughts:
24 And see
if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way
everlasting.
Psalm 23
1 The LORD
is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh
me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the
still waters.
3 He restoreth
my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for
his name's sake.
4 Yea, though
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil: for thou
art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest
a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head
with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely
goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I
will dwell in the house
of the LORD for ever.
I. Cor. 13
1 Though
I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not
charity, I am become
as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though
I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries,
and all knowledge; and
though I have all faith, so that I could remove
mountains, and have
not charity, I am nothing.
3 And though
I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give
my body to be burned,
and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity
suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity
vaunteth not itself,
is not puffed up,
5 Doth not
behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily
provoked, thinketh no
evil;
6 Rejoiceth
not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth
all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all
things.
8 Charity
never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail;
whether there be tongues,
they shall cease; whether there be knowledge,
it shall vanish away.
9 For we
know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when
that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part
shall be done away.
11 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.
12 For now
we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I
know in part; but then
shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now
abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of
these is charity.
Rom. 8:31
31
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be
against us?
Matt. 11:25-30
25 At that
time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of
heaven and earth, because
thou hast hid these things from the wise and
prudent, and hast revealed
them unto babes.
26 Even
so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27 All things
are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth
the Son, but the Father;
neither knoweth any man the Father, save the
Son, and he to whomsoever
the Son will reveal him.
28 Come
unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest.
29 Take
my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in
heart: and ye shall
find rest unto your souls.
30 For my
yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Psalm 90
1 Lord,
thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before
the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed
the earth and the world,
even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art
God.
3 Thou turnest
man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of
men.
4 For a
thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past,
and as a watch in the
night.
5 Thou carriest
them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the
morning they are like
grass which groweth up.
6 In the
morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut
down, and withereth.
7 For we
are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we
troubled.
8 Thou hast
set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of
thy countenance.
9 For all
our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a
tale that is told.
10 The days
of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason
of strength they be
fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and
sorrow; for it is soon
cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knoweth
the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear,
so is thy wrath.
12 So teach
us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto
wisdom.
13 Return,
O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy
servants.
14 O satisfy
us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all
our days.
15 Make
us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us,
and the years wherein
we have seen evil.
16 Let thy
work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their
children.
17 And let
the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish
thou the work of our
hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish
thou it.
Rom. 8:1-30
1 There
is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ
Jesus, who walk not
after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the
law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from
the law of sin and death.
3 For what
the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh,
God sending his own
Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin,
condemned sin in the
flesh:
4 That the
righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not
after the flesh, but
after the Spirit.
5 For they
that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but
they that are after
the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to
be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life
and peace.
7 Because
the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to
the law of God, neither
indeed can be.
8 So then
they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye
are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of
God dwell in you. Now
if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none
of his.
10 And if
Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit
is life because of righteousness.
11 But if
the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,
he that raised up Christ
from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies
by his Spirit that dwelleth
in you.
12 Therefore,
brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the
flesh.
13 For if
ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit
do mortify the deeds
of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as
many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye
have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye
have received the Spirit
of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit
itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the
children of God:
17 And if
children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if
so be that we suffer
with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 For I
reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to
be compared with the
glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the
earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the
manifestation of the
sons of God.
20 For the
creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by
reason of him who hath
subjected the same in hope,
21 Because
the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of
corruption into the
glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we
know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain
together until now.
23 And not
only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the
Spirit, even we ourselves
groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption,
to wit, the redemption
of our body.
24 For we
are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for
what a man seeth, why
doth he yet hope for?
25 But if
we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for
it.
26 Likewise
the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what
we should pray for as
we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession
for us with groanings
which cannot be uttered.
27 And he
that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the
Spirit, because he maketh
intercession for the saints according to the will
of God.
28 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.
29 For whom
he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed
to the image of his
Son, that he might be the firstborn among many
brethren.
30 Moreover
whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom
he called, them he also
justified: and whom he justified, them he also
glorified.
Psalm 121
1 I will
lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
2 My help
cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will
not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not
slumber.
4 Behold,
he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD
is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
6 The sun
shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The LORD
shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
8 The LORD
shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time
forth, and even for
evermore.
Psalm 67
1 God be
merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon
us; Selah.
2 That thy
way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all
nations.
3 Let the
people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
4 O let
the nations be glad and sing for joy: for thou shalt judge the
people righteously,
and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.
5 Let the
people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
6 Then shall
the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God,
shall bless us.
7 God shall
bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
Joshua 1
1 Now after the
death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass,
that the LORD spake
unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
2 Moses
my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan,
thou, and all this people,
unto the land which I do give to them, even to
the children of Israel.
3 Every
place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I
given unto you, as I
said unto Moses.
4 From the
wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the
river Euphrates, all
the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward
the going down of the
sun, shall be your coast.
5 There
shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of
thy life: as I was with
Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor
forsake thee.
6 Be strong
and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide
for an inheritance the
land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 Only be
thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to
do according to all
the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee:
turn not from it to
the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper
withersoever thou goest.
8 This book
of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt
meditate therein day
and night, that thou mayest observe to do according
to all that is written
therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous,
and then thou shalt
have good success.
9 Have not
I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not
afraid, neither be thou
dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee
whithersoever thou goest.
10 Then
Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 Pass
through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you
victuals; for within
three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to
possess the land, which
the LORD your God giveth you to possess it.
12 And to
the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of
Manasseh, spake Joshua,
saying,
13 Remember
the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded
you, saying, The LORD
your God hath given you rest, and hath given you
this land.
14 Your
wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land
which Moses gave you
on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your
brethren armed, all
the mighty men of valour, and help them;
15 Until
the LORD have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you,
and they also have possessed
the land which the LORD your God giveth
them: then ye shall
return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it,
which Moses the LORD's
servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the
sunrising.
16 And they
answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we
will do, and whithersoever
thou sendest us, we will go.
17 According
as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we
hearken unto thee: only
the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with
Moses.
18 Whosoever
he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will
not hearken unto thy
words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be
put to death: only be
strong and of a good courage.
Mark 10
1 And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts
of Judaea by
the farther side of Jordan: and the people
resort unto him again; and, as
he was wont, he taught them again.
2 And the Pharisees came to him,
and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to
put away his wife? tempting him.
3 And he answered and said unto
them, What did Moses command you?
4 And they said, Moses suffered
to write a bill of divorcement, and to put
her away.
5 And Jesus answered and said
unto them, For the hardness of your
heart he wrote you this precept.
6 But from the beginning of the
creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave
his father and mother, and cleave to
his wife;
8 And they twain shall be one
flesh: so then they are no more twain, but
one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined
together, let not man put asunder.
10 And in the house his disciples
asked him again of the same matter.
11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever
shall put away his wife, and marry
another, committeth adultery against her.
12 And if a woman shall put away
her husband, and be married to
another, she committeth adultery.
13 And they brought young children
to him, that he should touch them:
and his disciples rebuked those that brought
them.
14 But when Jesus saw it, he was
much displeased, and said unto them,
Suffer the little children to come unto me,
and forbid them not: for of such
is the kingdom of God.
15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever
shall not receive the kingdom of God
as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
16 And he took them up in his
arms, put his hands upon them, and
blessed them.
17 And when he was gone forth
into the way, there came one running,
and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master,
what shall I do that I
may inherit eternal life?
18 And Jesus said unto him, Why
callest thou me good? there is none
good but one, that is, God.
19 Thou knowest the commandments,
Do not commit adultery, Do not kill,
Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud
not, Honour thy father
and mother.
20 And he answered and said unto
him, Master, all these have I observed
from my youth.
21 Then Jesus beholding him loved
him, and said unto him, One thing thou
lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou
hast, and give to the poor, and
thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come,
take up the cross, and
follow me.
22 And he was sad at that saying,
and went away grieved: for he had
great possessions.
23 And Jesus looked round about,
and saith unto his disciples, How hardly
shall they that have riches enter into the
kingdom of God!
24 And the disciples were astonished
at his words. But Jesus answereth
again, and saith unto them, Children, how
hard is it for them that trust in
riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
25 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.
26 And they were astonished out
of measure, saying among themselves,
Who then can be saved?
27 And Jesus looking upon them
saith, With men it is impossible, but not
with God: for with God all things are possible.
28 Then Peter began to say unto
him, Lo, we have left all, and have
followed thee.
29 And Jesus answered and said,
Verily I say unto you, There is no man
that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters,
or father, or mother, or wife,
or children, or lands, for my sake, and the
gospel's,
30 But he shall receive an hundredfold
now in this time, houses, and
brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children,
and lands, with
persecutions; and in the world to come eternal
life.
31 But many that are first shall
be last; and the last first.
32 And they were in the way going
up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went
before them: and they were amazed; and as
they followed, they were
afraid. And he took again the twelve, and
began to tell them what things
should happen unto him,
33 Saying, Behold, we go up to
Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be
delivered unto the chief priests, and unto
the scribes; and they shall
condemn him to death, and shall deliver him
to the Gentiles:
34 And they shall mock him, and
shall scourge him, and shall spit upon
him, and shall kill him: and the third day
he shall rise again.
35 And James and John, the sons
of Zebedee, come unto him, saying,
Master, we would that thou shouldest do for
us whatsoever we shall
desire.
36 And he said unto them, What
would ye that I should do for you?
37 They said unto him, Grant unto
us that we may sit, one on thy right
hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy
glory.
38 But Jesus said unto them, Ye
know not what ye ask: can ye drink of
the cup that I drink of? and be baptized with
the baptism that I am
baptized with?
39 And they said unto him, We
can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall
indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and
with the baptism that I am
baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
40 But to sit on my right hand
and on my left hand is not mine to give;
but it shall be given to them for whom it
is prepared.
41 And when the ten heard it,
they began to be much displeased with
James and John.
42 But Jesus called them to him,
and saith unto them, Ye know that they
which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles
exercise lordship over them;
and their great ones exercise authority upon
them.
43 But so shall it not be among
you: but whosoever will be great among
you, shall be your minister:
44 And whosoever of you will be
the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
45 For even the Son of man came
not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a ransom for
many.
46 And they came to Jericho: and
as he went out of Jericho with his
disciples and a great number of people, blind
Bartimaeus, the son of
Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging.
47 And when he heard that it was
Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry
out, and say, Jesus, thou son of David, have
mercy on me.
48 And many charged him that he
should hold his peace: but he cried the
more a great deal, Thou son of David, have
mercy on me.
49 And Jesus stood still, and
commanded him to be called. And they call
the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good
comfort, rise; he calleth thee.
50 And he, casting away his garment,
rose, and came to Jesus.
51 And Jesus answered and said
unto him, What wilt thou that I should
do unto thee? The blind man said unto him,
Lord, that I might receive my
sight.
52 And Jesus said unto him, Go
thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.
And immediately he received his sight, and
followed Jesus in the way.
Psalm 27
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear? the LORD is
the strength of my life; of whom shall I be
afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies
and my foes, came upon me to
eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp
against me, my heart shall not fear:
though war should rise against me, in this
will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of
the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may
dwell in the house of the LORD all the days
of my life, to behold the beauty
of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he
shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret
of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall
set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted
up above mine enemies round about
me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle
sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea,
I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 Hear, O LORD, when I cry with
my voice: have mercy also upon me,
and answer me.
8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my
face; my heart said unto thee, Thy
face, LORD, will I seek.
9 Hide not thy face far from me;
put not thy servant away in anger: thou
hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake
me, O God of my
salvation.
10 When my father and my mother
forsake me, then the LORD will take
me up.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and
lead me in a plain path, because of
mine enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the
will of mine enemies: for false witnesses
are risen up against me, and such as breathe
out cruelty.
13 I had fainted, unless I had
believed to see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the LORD: be of good
courage, and he shall strengthen thine
heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
Psalm 37
1 Fret not thyself because of evildoers,
neither be thou envious against
the workers of iniquity.
2 For they shall soon be cut down
like the grass, and wither as the green
herb.
3 Trust in the LORD, and do good;
so shalt thou dwell in the land, and
verily thou shalt be fed.
4 Delight thyself also in the
LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of
thine heart.
5 Commit thy way unto the LORD;
trust also in him; and he shall bring it
to pass.
6 And he shall bring forth thy
righteousness as the light, and thy
judgment as the noonday.
7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently
for him: fret not thyself because
of him who prospereth in his way, because
of the man who bringeth wicked
devices to pass.
8 Cease from anger, and forsake
wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do
evil.
9 For evildoers shall be cut off:
but those that wait upon the LORD, they
shall inherit the earth.
10 For yet a little while, and
the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt
diligently consider his place, and it shall
not be.
11 But the meek shall inherit
the earth; and shall delight themselves in
the abundance of peace.
12 The wicked plotteth against
the just, and gnasheth upon him with his
teeth.
13 The LORD shall laugh at him:
for he seeth that his day is coming.
14 The wicked have drawn out the
sword, and have bent their bow, to
cast down the poor and needy, and to slay
such as be of upright
conversation.
15 Their sword shall enter into
their own heart, and their bows shall be
broken.
16 A little that a righteous man
hath is better than the riches of many
wicked.
17 For the arms of the wicked
shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth
the righteous.
18 The LORD knoweth the days of
the upright: and their inheritance shall
be for ever.
19 They shall not be ashamed in
the evil time: and in the days of famine
they shall be satisfied.
20 But the wicked shall perish,
and the enemies of the LORD shall be as
the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into
smoke shall they consume away.
21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth
not again: but the righteous
sheweth mercy, and giveth.
22 For such as be blessed of him
shall inherit the earth; and they that be
cursed of him shall be cut off.
23 The steps of a good man are
ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth
in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not
be utterly cast down: for the LORD
upholdeth him with his hand.
25 I have been young, and now
am old; yet have I not seen the
righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.
26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth;
and his seed is blessed.
27 Depart from evil, and do good;
and dwell for evermore.
28 For the LORD loveth judgment,
and forsaketh not his saints; they are
preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked
shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit
the land, and dwell therein for ever.
30 The mouth of the righteous
speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh
of judgment.
31 The law of his God is in his
heart; none of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous,
and seeketh to slay him.
33 The LORD will not leave him
in his hand, nor condemn him when he is
judged.
34 Wait on the LORD, and keep
his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit
the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou
shalt see it.
35 I have seen the wicked in great
power, and spreading himself like a
green bay tree.
36 Yet he passed away, and, lo,
he was not: yea, I sought him, but he
could not be found.
37 Mark the perfect man, and behold
the upright: for the end of that man
is peace.
38 But the transgressors shall
be destroyed together: the end of the
wicked shall be cut off.
39 But the salvation of the righteous
is of the LORD: he is their strength
in the time of trouble.
40 And the LORD shall help them,
and deliver them: he shall deliver them
from the wicked, and save them, because they
trust in him.
1 Cor. 13 (see above)
John 15
1 I am the true vine, and my Father
is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth
not fruit he taketh away: and every
branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it,
that it may bring forth more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through the
word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
except it abide in the vine; no more can ye,
except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without
me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he
is cast forth as a branch, and is withered;
and men gather them, and cast them into the
fire, and they are burned.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words
abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will,
and it shall be done unto you.
8 Herein is my Father glorified,
that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my
disciples.
9 As the Father hath loved me,
so have I loved you: continue ye in my
love.
10 If ye keep my commandments,
ye shall abide in my love; even as I
have kept my Father's commandments, and abide
in his love.
11 These things have I spoken
unto you, that my joy might remain in
you, and that your joy might be full.
12 This is my commandment, That
ye love one another, as I have loved
you.
13 Greater love hath no man than
this, that a man lay down his life for
his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do
whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants;
for the servant knoweth not what
his lord doeth: but I have called you friends;
for all things that I have
heard of my Father I have made known unto
you.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but
I have chosen you, and ordained you,
that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and
that your fruit should remain:
that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father
in my name, he may give it you.
17 These things I command you,
that ye love one another.
18 If the world hate you, ye know
that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the
world would love his own: but because ye
are not of the world, but I have chosen you
out of the world, therefore the
world hateth you.
20 Remember the word that I said
unto you, The servant is not greater
than his lord. If they have persecuted me,
they will also persecute you; if
they have kept my saying, they will keep yours
also.
21 But all these things will they
do unto you for my name's sake, because
they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken
unto them, they had not had sin: but
now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hateth me hateth my
Father also.
24 If I had not done among them
the works which none other man did,
they had not had sin: but now have they both
seen and hated both me
and my Father.
25 But this cometh to pass, that
the word might be fulfilled that is
written in their law, They hated me without
a cause.
26 But when the Comforter is come,
whom I will send unto you from the
Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth
from the Father, he
shall testify of me:
27 And ye also shall bear witness,
because ye have been with me from
the beginning.
Psalm 126
1 When the LORD turned again the captivity
of Zion, we were like them
that dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with
laughter, and our tongue with singing:
then said they among the heathen, The LORD
hath done great things for
them.
3 The LORD hath done great things
for us; whereof we are glad.
4 Turn again our captivity, O
LORD, as the streams in the south.
5 They that sow in tears shall
reap in joy.
6 He that goeth forth and weepeth,
bearing precious seed, shall
doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing
his sheaves with him.
Psalm 19
1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament sheweth his
handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech,
and night unto night sheweth
knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language,
where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through
all the earth, and their words to the end
of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle
for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming
out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a
strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the
end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the
ends of it: and there is nothing hid from
the heat thereof.
7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
converting the soul: the testimony of
the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8 The statutes of the LORD are
right, rejoicing the heart: the
commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening
the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is clean,
enduring for ever: the judgments of the
LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they
than gold, yea, than much fine gold:
sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
11 Moreover by them is thy servant
warned: and in keeping of them there
is great reward.
12 Who can understand his errors?
cleanse thou me from secret faults.
13 Keep back thy servant also
from presumptuous sins; let them not have
dominion over me: then shall I be upright,
and I shall be innocent from the
great transgression.
14 Let the words of my mouth,
and the meditation of my heart, be
acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength,
and my redeemer.
John 15 (see above)
2. Cor. 5:15-19
15 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.
16 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.
17 Therefore if any man be in
Christ, he is a new creature: old things are
passed away; behold, all things are become
new.
18 And all things are of God,
who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus
Christ, and hath given to us the ministry
of reconciliation;
19 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.
Isaiah 55
1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come
ye to the waters, and he that hath
no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come,
buy wine and milk without
money and without price.
2 Wherefore do ye spend money
for that which is not bread? and your
labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken
diligently unto me, and eat ye
that which is good, and let your soul delight
itself in fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto
me: hear, and your soul shall live; and
I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
even the sure mercies of
David.
4 Behold, I have given him for
a witness to the people, a leader and
commander to the people.
5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation
that thou knowest not, and nations
that knew not thee shall run unto thee because
of the LORD thy God, and
for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified
thee.
6 Seek ye the LORD while he may
be found, call ye upon him while he is
near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts:
and let him return unto the LORD, and he will
have mercy upon him; and to
our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your
thoughts, neither are your ways my
ways, saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher
than the earth, so are my ways higher
than your ways, and my thoughts than your
thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down,
and the snow from heaven, and
returneth not thither, but watereth the earth,
and maketh it bring forth
and bud, that it may give seed to the sower,
and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goeth
forth out of my mouth: it shall not
return unto me void, but it shall accomplish
that which I please, and it shall
prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
12 For ye shall go out with joy,
and be led forth with peace: the
mountains and the hills shall break forth
before you into singing, and all the
trees of the field shall clap their hands.
13 Instead of the thorn shall
come up the fir tree, and instead of the
brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it
shall be to the LORD for a name,
for an everlasting sign that shall not be
cut off.
Rom. 12
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren,
by the mercies of God, that ye
present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God, which is
your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this
world: but be ye transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what
is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace
given unto me, to every man that is
among you, not to think of himself more highly
than he ought to think; but
to think soberly, according as God hath dealt
to every man the measure of
faith.
4 For as we have many members
in one body, and all members have not
the same office:
5 So we, being many, are one body
in Christ, and every one members one
of another.
6 Having then gifts differing
according to the grace that is given to us,
whether prophecy, let us prophesy according
to the proportion of faith;
7 Or ministry, let us wait on
our ministering: or he that teacheth, on
teaching;
8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation:
he that giveth, let him do it with
simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence;
he that sheweth mercy, with
cheerfulness.
9 Let love be without dissimulation.
Abhor that which is evil; cleave to
that which is good.
10 Be kindly affectioned one to
another with brotherly love; in honour
preferring one another;
11 Not slothful in business; fervent
in spirit; serving the Lord;
12 Rejoicing in hope; patient
in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
13 Distributing to the necessity
of saints; given to hospitality.
14 Bless them which persecute
you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice,
and weep with them that weep.
16 Be of the same mind one toward
another. Mind not high things, but
condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise
in your own conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for
evil. Provide things honest in the sight
of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much
as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not
yourselves, but rather give place unto
wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine;
I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger,
feed him; if he thirst, give him drink:
for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire
on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but
overcome evil with good.
Col. 3:12-17
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved,
bowels of
mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness,
longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and
forgiving one another, if any man have a
quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave
you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things
put on charity, which is the bond of
perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule
in your hearts, to the which also ye are
called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell
in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and
admonishing one another in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing
with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word
or deed, do all in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father
by him.
Psalm 34:7
7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round
about them that fear him, and
delivereth them.
Psalm 121:3
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be
moved: he that keepeth thee will not
slumber.
Mark 8:35
35 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.
Psalm 145:18
18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that
call upon him, to all that call upon
him in truth.
