Yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath. ¹⁹ And it came to pass that, when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the sabbath. And I set some of my servants over the gates that there should be no burden brought in on the sabbath day. ²⁰ So the merchants and sellers of all kind of wares lodged outside Jerusalem once or twice. ²¹ Then I testified against them, and said to them, Why do ye lodge outside the wall? If ye do so again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth they came no more on the sabbath. ²² And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember to me, O my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of thy loving kindness.

I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. ⁶ Also the foreigners who join themselves to LORD, to minister to him, and to love the name of LORD, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast my covenant, ⁷ even them I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon my altar, for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.

¹³ If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call the sabbath a delight, and the holy of LORD honorable, and shall honor it, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words: ¹⁴ then thou shall delight thyself in LORD, and I will make thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and I will feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father. For the mouth of LORD has spoken it.

²¹ Thus says LORD: Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem. ²² Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, nor do ye any work. But hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers. ²³ But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, and might not receive instruction. ²⁴ And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken to me, says LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work in it, ²⁵ then there shall enter in by the gates of this city kings and rulers sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their rulers, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city shall remain forever. ²⁶ And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill-country, and from the South, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and meal offerings, and frankincense, and bringing things of thanksgiving, to the house of LORD. ²⁷ But if ye will not hearken to me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden and enter in at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day, then I will kindle a fire in the gates of it, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

¹² Moreover I also gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am LORD who sanctifies them.

²⁷ And he said to them, The sabbath came into being for sake of man, and not man for sake of the sabbath.

⁴ For he spoke somewhere about the seventh this way, And God rested during the seventh day from all his works, ⁵ and in this again, They will not enter into my rest. ⁶ Since therefore it remains for some to enter into it, and those who formerly had good news did not enter because of disobedience, ⁷ again he appoints a certain day, Today, saying in David after so long a time (as it is said), Today if ye will hear his voice, do not harden your hearts. ⁸ For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not have spoken about another day after these things. ⁹ There remains therefore a sabbath for the people of God. ¹⁰ For a man who has entered into his rest, he has also rested from his works, as God did from his own.

⁴ And God saw the light, that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness.

⁴ John, to the seven congregations in Asia: Grace to you and peace from God, who is and who was and who is coming, and from the seven Spirits that are before his throne,

And God saw that it was good.

¹⁰ who gives rain upon the earth, and sends waters upon the fields,

²⁶ to cause it to rain on a land where no man is, on the wilderness, in which there is no man, ²⁷ to satisfy the waste and desolate ground, and to cause the tender grass to spring forth? ²⁸ Has the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew?

⁹ Thou visit the earth, and water it; thou greatly enrich it. The river of God is full of water. Thou provide them grain when thou have so prepared the earth. ¹⁰ Thou water its furrows abundantly. Thou settle the ridges of it. Thou make it soft with showers. Thou bless the springing of it. ¹¹ Thou crown the year with thy goodness, and thy paths drop fatness.

¹⁴ He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herbage for the service of man, that he may bring forth food out of the earth,

⁷ who causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain, who brings forth the wind out of his treasuries,

²² Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Are not thou he, O LORD our God? Therefore we will wait for thee, for thou have made all these things.

⁴⁵ so that ye may become sons of your Father in the heavens, because he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and makes rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.

²² And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will thou be angry with all the congregation?

¹⁶ Let LORD, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint a man over the congregation,

¹⁹ How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!

³ (For my life is yet whole in me. And the spirit of God is in my nostrils.)

⁴ The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

⁶ Behold, I am toward God even as thou are. I also am formed out of the clay.

³ Know ye that LORD, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are his. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

¹⁴ For he knows our frame. He remembers that we are dust.

¹⁴ I will give thanks to thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are thy works, and that my soul knows right well. ¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from thee, when I was made in secret, curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

²⁷ The spirit of man is the lamp of LORD, searching all his innermost parts.

⁷ a time to tear, and a time to sew, a time to keep silence, and a time to speak,

²⁰ All go to one place. All are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. ²¹ Who knows the spirit of man, whether it goes upward, and the spirit of the beast, whether it goes downward to the earth?

⁷ and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

²² Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for how is he to be accounted of?

⁸ But now, O LORD, thou are our Father. We are the clay, and thou our potter, and we are all the work of thy hand.

²² And after saying this, he breathed on them, and says to them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit.

²⁵ nor is he served by the hands of men, as needing anything, since he himself gives to all life, and breath, with all things.

²⁰ Rather, O man, who are thou answering back to God? No, will the thing formed say to him who formed it, Why did thou make me this way?

⁴⁵ And so it is written, The first man Adam developed into a living soul. The last Adam a life giving spirit.

⁴⁷ The first man was of the earth, earthly. The second man is the Lord from heaven.

⁷ But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the excellence of the power may be of God and not from us,

¹ For we know that if the earthly house of our tent were destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made by hands, eternal in the heavens.

⁹ Besides, we indeed have had chastisers-the fathers of our flesh-and we were turned around. Shall we not much more be subordinate to the Father of the spirits, and we will live?

¹³ Thou were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold. The workmanship of thy tambourine and of thy pipes was in thee. In the day that thou were created they were prepared.

⁸ The cedars in the garden of God could not dim it. The fir trees were not like its boughs, and the plane trees were not as its branches, nor was any tree in the garden of God like it in its beauty. ⁹ I made it beautiful by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.

¹⁶ I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall when I cast him down to Sheol with those who descend into the pit. And all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, were comforted in the nether parts of the earth.

²² And LORD God said, Behold, the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil, and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever-

²⁵ And it shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before LORD our God as he has commanded us.

¹⁸ She is a tree of life to those who lay hold upon her. And happy is everyone who retains her.

³⁰ The fruit of a righteous man is a tree of life, and he who is wise wins souls.

²⁵ who frustrates the signs of the liars, and makes diviners mad, who turns wise men backward, and makes their knowledge foolish,

¹⁰ For thou have trusted in thy wickedness. Thou have said, None sees me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it has perverted thee. And thou have said in thy heart, I am, and there is none else besides me.

¹² And by the river upon the bank of it, on this side and on that side, shall grow every tree for food, whose leaf shall not wither, nor shall the fruit of it fail.

⁴ There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High.

¹ And he showed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, coming out from the throne of God and of the Lamb,

⁷ And the sons of Cush: Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba, and Dedan.

²⁹ and Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

¹⁸ And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur which is before Egypt, as thou go toward Assyria. He abode opposite all his brothers.

⁷ And Saul smote the Amalekites, from Havilah as thou go to Shur, that is before Egypt.

²⁰ and the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be enclosed in gold in their settings.

¹³ and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were set in enclosures of gold in their settings.

⁷ And the manna was like coriander seed, and the appearance of it as the appearance of bdellium.

¹⁶ It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

⁶ And the sons of Ham: Cush, and Mizraim, and Put, and Canaan.

¹¹ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord will set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, who shall remain, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.

¹¹ He went forth out of that land into Assyria, and built Nineveh, and Rehoboth-ir, and Calah,

²² The sons of Shem: Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

¹⁸ In that day LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, To thy seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

⁷ Turn, and take your journey, and go to the hill-country of the Amorites, and to all the places near thereto, in the Arabah, in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the sea-shore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.

²⁴ Every place on which the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours, from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the hinder sea shall be your border.

⁴ And in the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel,

¹⁴ saying to the sixth agent who has the trumpet, Loose the four agents who have been bound at the great river Euphrates.

² And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had made, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

⁸ And LORD God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.

³³ if like Adam I have covered my transgressions by hiding my iniquity in my bosom

² For thou shall eat the labor of thy hands. Happy thou shall be, and it shall be well with thee.

²⁸ Let the man who steals steal no more, but rather let him labor, working with his hands the good, so that he may have to give to him who has need.

⁹ And out of the ground LORD God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, also the tree of life in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

¹ Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, Yea, has God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden? ² And the woman said to the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,

²² And Samuel said, Has LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

⁴ Because every creation of God is good, and nothing rejected that is received with thankfulness,

¹⁷ Command the rich in the present age not to be arrogant, nor hope in the uncertainty of wealth, but in the living God, who supplies us all things abundantly for enjoyment,

¹ Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, Yea, has God said, Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden? ² And the woman said to the serpent, Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat, ³ but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, Ye shall not eat of it, nor shall ye touch it, lest ye die. ⁴ And the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not surely die.

¹¹ And he said, Who told thee that thou was naked? Have thou eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee that thou should not eat?

¹⁷ And to Adam he said, Because thou have hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shall not eat of it, cursed is the ground for thy sake. In toil thou shall eat of it all the days of thy life.

⁷ Now therefore restore the man's wife. For he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shall live. And if thou do not restore her, know thou that thou shall surely die, thou, and all that are thine.

⁶⁵ For LORD had said of them, They shall surely die in the wilderness. And there was not a man of them left, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun.

²⁶ Cursed is every man who does not continue in all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Truly.

¹⁵ See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil,

¹⁹ I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore choose life, that thou may live, thou and thy seed,

³⁹ For, as LORD lives, who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. But there was not a man among all the people who answered him.

⁴⁴ And Saul said, God do so and more also, for thou shall surely die, Jonathan.

³¹ For as long as the son of Jesse lives upon the ground, thou shall not be established, nor thy kingdom. Therefore now send and fetch him to me, for he shall surely die.

¹⁶ And the king said, Thou shall surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.

³⁷ For on the day thou go out, and pass over the brook Kidron, know thou for certain that thou shall surely die; thy blood shall be upon thine own head.

⁴² And the king sent and called for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not adjure thee by LORD, and protest to thee, saying, Know for certain, that on the day thou go out, and walk abroad anywhere, thou shall surely die? And thou said to me, The saying that I have heard is good.

⁸ And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that LORD had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold on him, saying, Thou shall surely die.

¹⁸ When I say to a wicked man, Thou shall surely die, and thou give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked man from his wicked way, to save his life, the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand. ¹⁹ Yet if thou warn the wicked man, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity, but thou have delivered thy soul. ²⁰ Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because thou have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered, but I will require his blood at thy hand.

⁴ Behold, all souls are mine, as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine. The soul that sins, it shall die.

¹³ has given forth upon interest, and has taken increase, shall he then live? He shall not live. He has done all these abominations. He shall surely die. His blood shall be upon him.

³² For I have no pleasure in the death of him who dies, says the lord LORD, therefore turn yourselves back, and live.

⁸ When I say to the wicked man, O wicked man, thou shall surely die, and thou do not speak to warn the wicked man from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand.

¹⁴ Again, when I say to the wicked man, Thou shall surely die, if he turns from his sin, and does that which is lawful and right,

³² Who, knowing the righteousness of God, that those who commit such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also favor those who do.

¹² Because of this, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, so also death passed to all men, in that all sinned. ¹³ For until law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. ¹⁴ Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of the coming man. ¹⁵ But in this way also, the gift is not as the transgression. For if by the trespass of the one man the many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many. ¹⁶ And the gift is not as through one man who sinned, for indeed the judgment from one man was for condemnation, but the gift from many offenses is for righteousness. ¹⁷ For if, by the offense of the one man, death reigned through the one man, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. ¹⁸ So then, as through an offense of one man was for condemnation for all men, so also through a righteousness of one man was for justification of life for all men. ¹⁹ For as through the one man's disobedience the many were led sinful, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be led righteous. ²⁰ And the law entered so that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace was more abundant, ²¹ so that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign, through righteousness, for eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

¹⁶ Know ye not, that to what ye present yourselves as bondmen for obedience, ye are bondmen to what ye obey, whether of sin for death, or of obedience for righteousness?

²³ For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹⁰ And I found to me, the commandment being for life, this is for death. ¹¹ For sin, having taken opportunity through the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. ¹² So the law is indeed holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good. ¹³ Has therefore what is good become death to me? May it not happen! Instead, it is sin, so that it might be revealed, sin working death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin might become sinful to extreme.

² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus freed me from the law of sin and of death.

²² For as by Adam all die, so also by Christ all will be made alive.

⁵⁶ The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

¹⁰ For as many as are from works of law are under a curse, for it is written, Cursed is every man who does not continue in all things written in the book of the law, to do them.

¹ Even you, who were dead in trespasses and sins ² in which ye once walked according to the era of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the sons of disobedience. ³ Among whom we also all once behaved in the lusts of our flesh, doing the intentions of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath as also the others. ⁴ But God, being rich in mercy, through his great love that he loved us, ⁵ even us being dead in the transgressions, he made alive together with the Christ (ye are saved by grace), ⁶ and raised us up together, and seated us together in the heavenly things in Christ Jesus.

¹⁴ Therefore he says, Awake, thou who sleep. And arise from the dead, and the Christ will shine upon thee.

¹³ And you, being dead in transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, you he made alive together with him, having forgiven us all the transgressions,

⁶ But she who is self-indulgent is dead while she lives.

¹⁵ Then the lust having conceived, it gives birth to sin, and after being complete the sin brings forth death.

¹⁶ If any man may see his brother sinning a sin not toward death, he will ask, and he will give life to him, to those not sinning toward death. There is sin toward death. I do not say that he should make request about that.

¹¹ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the congregations. He who overcomes will, no, not be hurt from the second death.

⁶ Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. On these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will reign with him a thousand years.

¹⁴ And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

⁸ But for the cowards, and unbelieving, and sinful, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

¹² And the man said, The woman whom thou gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.

¹ And Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?

²² He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from LORD.

⁹ Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. ¹⁰ For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow, but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and has not another to lift him up. ¹¹ Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth, but how can one be warm alone? ¹² And if a man prevails against him who is alone, two shall withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

³⁶ But if any man thinks to behave improperly toward his virgin, if it is past the best time, and so ought to happen, she should do what she wants, she does not sin, they should marry.

⁷ For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, being an image and glory of God, but woman is a glory of man. ⁸ For man is not from woman, but woman from man. ⁹ For also man was not created for the woman, but woman for the man. ¹⁰ Because of this the woman ought to have authority over her head, because of the agents. ¹¹ Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord. ¹² For just as the woman is from the man, so also the man is through the woman. But all things are from God.

¹¹ Let a woman learn in silence in all subjection. ¹² But I do not allow a woman to teach, nor to have authority of a man, but to be in quietness. ¹³ For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

⁷ Likewise the husbands living together knowledgeably, as with a weaker vessel, apportioning worth to the female as also joint-heirs of the grace of life, for your prayers not to be hindered.

²⁰ And God said, Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. ²¹ And God created the great sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. ²² And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth. ²³ And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. ²⁴ And God said, Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth according to their kind. And it was so. ²⁵ And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kind, and the cattle according to their kind, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. ²⁶ And God said, Let us make mankind in our image-after our likeness-and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.

²² And the rib, which LORD God had taken from the man, he made a woman, and brought her to the man. ²³ And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

²⁰ Of the birds according to their kind, and of the cattle according to their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind. Two of every sort shall come to thee, to keep them alive.

² And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens, with all with which the ground teems, and all the fishes of the sea. They are delivered into your hand.

⁴ what is man that thou remember him? And the son of man that thou succor him? ⁵ For thou have made him but little lower than agents, and crowned him with glory and honor. ⁶ Thou make him to have dominion over the works of thy hands. Thou have put all things under his feet. ⁷ All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field, ⁸ the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

¹⁸ And LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone, I will make a help meet for him.

¹² And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram. And, lo, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.

¹² So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's head, and they got away. And no man saw it, nor knew it, neither did any awake, for they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from LORD was fallen upon them.

¹³ In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,

¹⁵ In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, in slumberings upon the bed.

¹⁵ Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and the idle soul shall suffer hunger.

¹⁸ Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground, but he touched me, and set me upright.

¹⁹ And out of the ground LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them, and whatever the man called every living creature, that was the name of it.

¹ Unless LORD builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless LORD guards the city, the watchman wake but in vain.

¹⁴ House and riches are an inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from LORD.

⁸ For man is not from woman, but woman from man. ⁹ For also man was not created for the woman, but woman for the man.

¹³ For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

⁴ Marriage is precious in every way, and the undefiled bed, but God will judge fornicators and adulterers.

¹⁴ And Laban said to him, Surely thou are my bone and my flesh. And he abode with him the space of a month.

² Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Which is better for you, that all the sons of Jerubbaal, who are seventy men, rule over you, or that one rule over you? Remember also that I am your bone and your flesh.

¹ Then all the tribes of Israel came to David to Hebron, and spoke, saying, Behold, we are thy bone and thy flesh.

¹³ And say ye to Amasa, Are thou not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if thou not be captain of the army before me continually in the place of Joab.

²⁸ So ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. ²⁹ For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as also Christ the church, ³⁰ because we are parts of his body, of his flesh and of his bones.

⁵⁸ And they called Rebekah, and said to her, Will thou go with this man? And she said, I will go. ⁵⁹ And they sent Rebekah their sister away, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.

¹⁴ And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house? ¹⁵ Are we not accounted by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and has also quite devoured our money.

¹² And if a priest's daughter be married to a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things. ¹³ But if a priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's bread, but there shall no stranger eat of it.

⁴ But ye who clung to LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.

²⁰ Thou shall fear LORD thy God. Him thou shall serve, and to him thou shall cling, and by his name thou shall swear.

⁸ but cling to LORD your God as ye have done to this day.

¹⁰ Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear. Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house.

⁴ A worthy woman is the crown of her husband, but she who makes ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.

¹⁰ A worthy woman who can find? For her price is far above rubies.

¹⁴ Yet ye say, Why? Because LORD has been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou have dealt treacherously, though she is thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. ¹⁵ And did he not make one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? And why one? He sought a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. ¹⁶ For I hate putting away, says LORD, the God of Israel, and him who covers his garment with violence, says LORD of hosts. Therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

³ And Pharisees came to him, trying him, and saying to him, Is it permitted for a man to divorce his wife for every cause? ⁴ And having answered, he said to them, Have ye not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, ⁵ and said, For this reason a man will leave his father and mother behind, and will be bonded with his wife, and the two will be in one flesh? ⁶ So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, no man shall separate. ⁷ They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a writing of divorcement, and to divorce her? ⁸ He says to them, For your hard heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it did not happen this way. ⁹ And I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife, not for fornication, and will marry another, commits adultery. And he who married her who has been divorced commits adultery.

⁶ But from the beginning of creation God made them male and female. ⁷ Because of this a man will leave his father and mother behind, and will be bonded with his wife, ⁸ and the two will be in one flesh. So then they are no more two, but one flesh. ⁹ What therefore God has joined together, no man shall separate. ¹⁰ And in the house the disciples questioned him again about the same thing. ¹¹ And he says to them, Whoever may divorce his wife, and will marry another, commits adultery against her. ¹² And if a woman should divorce her husband, and will be married to another, she commits adultery.

²³ who, having arrived, and having seen the grace of God, rejoiced. And he encouraged all, with purpose of heart, to remain in the Lord.

² For the woman under authority to the living husband has been bound by law, but if the husband should die, she has been released from the law of the husband.

¹⁶ Or know ye not that he who is joined to a harlot is one body? For, The two, he says, will be in one flesh. ¹⁷ But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.

² But because of fornications, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. ³ Let the husband render the goodwill owed to the wife, and likewise also the wife to the husband. ⁴ The wife has not the right of her private body, but the husband, and likewise also the husband has not the right of his private body, but the wife.

¹⁰ And to those who are married, I do not command but the Lord. The wife is not to separate from her husband. ¹¹ But even if she separates, she shall remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to leave his wife.

²⁸ So ought the husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. ²⁹ For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as also Christ the church, ³⁰ because we are parts of his body, of his flesh and of his bones. ³¹ Separate from this a man will leave his father and mother behind, and will be bonded with his wife, and the two will be in one flesh.

¹⁴ I desire therefore the younger women to marry, to bear children, to manage house, to give not one occasion to him who opposes on account of slander.

¹ Likewise the wives, being subordinate to their own husbands, so that even if any are disobedient to the word, they will be gained without a word by the behavior of the wives, ² observing, in fear, your pure behavior. ³ Of which let it not be the outward world of braiding of hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on apparel, ⁴ but the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible, of the meek and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. ⁵ For this way formerly also, the holy women, trusting in God, adorned themselves, being subordinate to their own husbands, ⁶ as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, whose children ye became, doing good, and not being afraid of anything fearful. ⁷ Likewise the husbands living together knowledgeably, as with a weaker vessel, apportioning worth to the female as also joint-heirs of the grace of life, for your prayers not to be hindered.

⁷ And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

¹⁰ And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked. And I hid myself. ¹¹ And he said, Who told thee that thou was naked? Have thou eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee that thou should not eat?

²⁵ And when Moses saw that the people were broken loose, (for Aaron had let them loose for a derision among their enemies,)

³ Yea, none who wait for thee shall be put to shame. They shall be put to shame who deal treacherously without cause.

¹⁷ Let me not be put to shame, O LORD, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be put to shame. Let them be silent in Sheol.

⁹ Those who fashion a graven image are all of them vanity. And the things that they delight in shall not profit. And their own witnesses see not, nor know, that they may be put to shame.

³ Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen. I will take vengeance, and will spare no man.

⁴ Fear not, for thou shall not be ashamed. Neither be thou confounded, for thou shall not be put to shame. For thou shall forget the shame of thy youth. And the reproach of thy widowhood thou shall remember no more.

¹⁵ Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, nor could they blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall. At the time that I visit them they shall be cast down, says LORD.

¹³ O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who forsake thee shall be put to shame. Those who depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken LORD, the fountain of living waters.

⁶¹ Then thou shall remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shall receive thy sisters, thine elder sisters and thy younger, and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.

²⁶ And ye shall eat in plenty and be satisfied. And shall praise the name of LORD your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. And my people shall never be put to shame.

³⁸ For whoever may be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy agents.

²⁶ For whoever may be ashamed of me and of my words, the Son of man will be ashamed of this man when he comes in his glory, and of the Father, and of the holy agents.

¹¹ For the scripture says, Every man who believes in him will not be shamed.
