¹⁹ ¶ He is chastened also upon his bed with strong pain in all his bones, ²⁰ so that his life abhors bread and his soul dainty food. ²¹ His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out. ²² His soul shall draw near to the grave, and his life to those that would bury him. ²³ If there is a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show unto man his uprightness; ²⁴ to tell him that God had mercy on him, that he delivered him from going down to the pit; that he found a ransom; ²⁵ his flesh shall become more tender than a child’s; and he shall return to the days of his youth. ²⁶ He shall pray unto God, and he will love him; and he shall see his face with shouts of joy; for he will render unto the man the recompense of his righteousness. ²⁷ He looks upon men, and if any say, I have sinned and perverted that which was right, and it did not profit me; ²⁸ God will ransom his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

¹⁴ ¶ For much that thou dost say, he will not look upon it, submit to judgment before him, and trust thou in him. ¹⁵ But now, because he has not visited in wrath; nor is it known in great extremity;

⁴ Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake. ⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

⁵ For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

⁸ ¶ Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity, for the LORD has heard the voice of my weeping.

¹³ Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer from those that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: ¹⁴ that I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy saving health.

² The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor; let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

⁸ ¶ I have set the LORD always before me: because when he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

¹ To the Overcomer, A Psalm of David, the slave of the LORD, who spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, ¶ I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

²⁰ ¶ The LORD will reward me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he shall recompense me. ²¹ Because I have kept the ways of the LORD and did not become wicked departing in apostasy from my God. ²² For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me. ²³ I was perfect before him, and I kept myself from my iniquity. ²⁴ Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes. ²⁵ With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful; with a perfect man thou wilt show thyself perfect; ²⁶ with the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt show thyself adversary. ²⁷ Therefore thou wilt save the humble people; but wilt bring down high looks.

¹ To the Overcomer,
A Psalm of David. ¶ Let the LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; let the name of the God of Jacob lift thee up ² and send thee help from the sanctuary and strengthen thee out of Zion ³ and remember all thy offerings and reduce thy burnt sacrifice to the ashes of burnt fat, Selah.

³ For thy mercy is before my eyes, and I walk in thy truth.

⁵ For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his tabernacle; in the secret of his tent shall he hide me; he shall set me high upon a rock. ⁶ And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me; therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tabernacle; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

¹³ I had fainted unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

³ O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; thou gavest me life from my descent into the grave.

⁶ ¶ And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. ⁷ LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong; thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

⁹ What profit is there in my blood when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? Shall it declare thy truth?

¹¹ Thou hast turned my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness; ¹² to the end that I may sing glory unto thee and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

²² For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes; nevertheless thou hast heard the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.

² Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD does not impute iniquity and in whose spirit there is no guile.

² Celebrate unto the LORD with harp; sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.

⁵ He They looked unto him and were lightened, and their faces were not ashamed. ⁶ Vau This poor man cried out, and the LORD heard him and saved him out of all his troubles.

⁹ I was dumb, I opened not my mouth because thou didst it. ¹⁰ Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.

¹⁰ Remove thy stroke away from me: I am consumed by the blow of thine hand.

¹² Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee and a sojourner, as all my fathers were.

² He brought me up also out of the pit of hopelessness, out of the miry clay and set my feet upon a rock and straightened my steps.

¹ To the Overcomer: Maschil,
for the sons of Korah. ¶ As the hart pants after the water brooks, so does my soul pant after thee, O God. ² My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; when shall I come and appear before God?

¹⁵ and call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

²² Now consider this, ye that forget God, lest I take you away, and there be none to deliver.

⁸ Make me to hear joy and gladness that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.

¹⁵ O Lord, open my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise.

⁸ ¶ Thou tellest my wanderings; put my tears into thy bottle; are they not in thy book?

¹³ ¶ I will go into thy house with burnt offerings; I will pay thee my vows, ¹⁴ which my lips have uttered and my mouth has spoken when I was in trouble. ¹⁵ I will offer unto thee burnt sacrifices of fatlings with the incense of rams; I will offer bullocks with goats. Selah.

²⁵ The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; in between them were the virgins playing with timbrels.

³ I am weary of my crying; my throat is dried; my eyes fail while I wait for my God.

²⁰ Thou who hast caused me to see great and sore troubles, shalt return and quicken me and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

¹⁴ and been plagued all day long and chastened every morning:

³ which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. ⁴ We will not hide them from their sons, showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD and his strength and his wonderful works that he has done. ⁵ For he established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their sons: ⁶ That the generation to come might know them, even the sons which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their sons

¹ To the Overcomer upon Gittith,
A Psalm for the sons of Korah. ¶ How amiable are thy habitations, O LORD of the hosts! ² My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh sing to the living God.

¹⁰ for a day in thy courts is better than a thousand outside of them. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. ¹¹ For the LORD God is a sun and shield unto us; the LORD will give grace and glory; he will not withhold good from those that walk uprightly. ¹² O LORD of the hosts, happy is the man that trusts in thee.

² Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

¹³ For great is thy mercy upon me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest part of Sheol.

⁴ I am counted with those that go down into the pit; I am as a man that has no strength: ⁵ Freed among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou dost remember no more; and they are cut off from thy hand. ⁶ Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.

¹⁰ ¶ Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah. ¹¹ Shall thy mercy be declared in the grave? or thy truth in hell?

³ I have made a covenant with my chosen; I have sworn unto David my slave, saying, ⁴ Thy seed will I establish for ever and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

⁴⁵ The days of his youth hast thou shortened; thou hast covered him with shame. Selah. ⁴⁶ How long, O LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? ⁴⁷ Remember how short my time is; why hast thou made all men subject to vanity?

¹⁵ He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and glorify him.

² When thou shalt come unto me, I will walk in the way of perfection and understand. I will walk in the midst of my house in the perfection of my heart.

⁴ My heart is smitten and withered like grass so that I forget to eat my bread. ⁵ By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones cleave to my skin. ⁶ I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am like an owl of the desert. ⁷ I watch and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

⁹ For I have eaten ashes like bread and mingled my drink with weeping,

¹¹ My days are like a shadow that declines, and I am withered like grass.

²³ ¶ He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days. ²⁴ I said, O my God, do not cut me off in the midst of my days; thy years are from generation to generation.

²⁴ I said, O my God, do not cut me off in the midst of my days; thy years are from generation to generation.

¹⁷ ¶ The fools, because of the way of their rebellion, and because of their iniquities, were afflicted. ¹⁸ Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near unto the gates of death.

¹⁸ Their soul abhorred all manner of food, and they drew near unto the gates of death. ¹⁹ Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. ²⁰ He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from their graves. ²¹ Oh that men would praise the LORD for his mercy and for his wonderful works unto the sons of Adam! ²² And let them offer the sacrifices of praise and publish his works with singing.

¹⁷ The dead shall not praise JAH, neither any that go down into silence. ¹⁸ But we will bless JAH from this time forth and for evermore. Halelu-JAH.

¹ ¶ I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my supplications. ² Because he has inclined his ear unto me, therefore I will call upon him all of my days.

² Because he has inclined his ear unto me, therefore I will call upon him all of my days. ³ The sorrows of death compassed me and the pains of Sheol found me; I encountered trouble and sorrow. ⁴ Then I called upon the name of the LORD, saying, O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.

⁸ For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. ⁹ I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.

¹⁵ Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his merciful ones.

¹⁷ I will offer unto thee the sacrifice of praise and will invoke the name of the LORD. ¹⁸ I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people, ¹⁹ in the courts of the LORD’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Halelu-JAH.

¹⁷ I shall not die, but live and declare the works of JAH. ¹⁸ JAH has chastened me sore, but he has not given me over unto death. ¹⁹ ¶ Open unto me the gates of righteousness; I will go in through them; I will praise JAH.

²³ ¶ Princes also sat and spoke against me as thy slave spoke according to thy statutes.

²⁵ ¶ DALETH. My soul cleaves unto the dust; quicken me according to thy word.

⁸⁰ ¶ Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes that I not be ashamed.

⁸² Mine eyes fail for thy spoken word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

¹²² Be surety for thy slave for good; do not let the proud do violence unto me. ¹²³ ¶ Mine eyes fail for thy saving health and for the spoken word of thy righteousness.

¹⁷⁵ ¶ Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee, and let thy judgments help me.

¹ A Song of degrees of David. ¶ I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.

¹ A Song of degrees. ¶ Unto thee I lift up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. ² Behold, as the eyes of slaves look unto the hand of their masters and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress, so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until he shall have mercy upon us. ³ Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us, for we are exceedingly weary of being held in contempt. ⁴ Our soul is exceedingly weary of the scorning of those that are at ease and of the contempt of the proud.

⁷ ¶ Hear me speedily, O LORD; my spirit fails; hide not thy face from me lest I be like those that go down into the grave.

² Beth Each day will I bless thee, and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

⁴ Daleth One generation shall praise thy works to another and shall declare thy mighty acts.

² In my life I will praise the LORD; I will sing praises unto my God while I live.

³ He heals the broken hearted, and he binds up their wounds.

⁴ Praise him with the timbrel and dance; praise him with stringed instruments and organs.

³² ¶ For his wickedness shall the wicked be cast out, but the righteous in his death has hope.

⁵ For the living know that they shall die, but the dead do not know any thing; neither do they have any more reward, for their memory is placed into oblivion. ⁶ Even their love and their hatred and their envy is now perished; neither have they any more a portion in the age in any thing that is done under the sun.

¹⁰ Whatever thy hand finds to do, do it with all thy might, for there is no work nor device nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol, where thou goest.

¹ ¶ The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

⁸ And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city.

¹¹ Ask a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. ¹² But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD. ¹³ Then said Isaiah, Hear ye now, O house of David, Is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also? ¹⁴ Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall call his name Immanuel.

¹ ¶ And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will sing unto thee; though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou hast comforted me. ² Behold, O God my saving health, I will trust and not be afraid for JAH, the LORD, is my strength and my song; he also is become saving health unto me. ³ Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of saving health. ⁴ ¶ And in that day ye shall say, Sing unto the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the peoples, remember how his name is exalted. ⁵ Sing psalms unto the LORD; for he has done excellent things; let this be known in all the earth. ⁶ Rejoice and sing, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

⁶ Rejoice and sing, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.

²⁰ It shall never again be inhabited; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation; neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there, neither shall the shepherds make their fold there.

⁴ For thus has the LORD spoken unto me, Like the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, even if a multitude of shepherds come forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voices, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of the hosts come down to fight for Mount Zion and for his hill. ⁵ As birds flying, so will the LORD of the hosts defend Jerusalem; defending, delivering, passing over, and saving it.

² And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.

²¹ ¶ Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:

³⁰ And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such as grows of itself; and the second year that which springs of the same: and in the third year ye shall sow and shall reap and shall plant vineyards and shall eat the fruit thereof.

³⁵ For I will defend this city to save it for my own sake and for my slave David’s sake.

¹ ¶ In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz came unto him and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order, for thou shalt die and not live.

¹ ¶ In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz came unto him and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order, for thou shalt die and not live. ² Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall and prayed unto the LORD, ³ And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. ⁴ Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, ⁵ Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer; I have seen thy tears behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. ⁶ And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city. ⁷ And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD that the LORD will do this thing that he has spoken: ⁸ Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down.

²² And Hezekiah had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?

³ Then Isaiah the prophet came unto king Hezekiah and said unto him, What did these men say? and from where did they come unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country unto me, even from Babylon. ⁴ Then said he, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in my house have they seen; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not showed them.

²⁵ I, even I, am he that uproots thy rebellions for mine own sake and will not remember thy sins.

¹¹ We all roar like bears and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for saving health, but it has withdrawn from us.

⁵ Thou didst come out to meet him that with rejoicing had worked righteous ness. In thy ways they remembered thee. Behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: thy ways are eternal, and we shall be saved.

⁷ In an instant I shall speak against Gentiles and against kingdoms, to pluck up and to pull down and to destroy. ⁸ But if these Gentiles shall turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. ⁹ And in an instant I shall speak concerning the nation and concerning the kingdom, to build and to plant it; ¹⁰ but if it should do evil in my sight, not hearing my voice, then I will repent of the good that I had determined to do unto them.

³⁴ And they shall no longer teach every man his neighbour and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD, for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, said the LORD, for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

¹⁷ Ain As for us, our eyes have failed in seeking our vain help; in our watching we have watched for people that cannot save us.

¹⁶ ¶ And those that escape of them shall be upon the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, each one for his iniquity.

²⁴ And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and even before they reached the bottom of the den, the lions had the mastery of them, and broke all their bones in pieces.

¹⁴ For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion and as a young lion to the house of Judah; I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and there shall be no one left to escape.

¹ ¶ Come, and let us return unto the LORD; for he has torn, and he will heal us; he has smitten, and he will bind us up. ² After two days he shall give us life: in the third day he will resurrect us, and we shall live in his sight.

⁴ yea, he dominated the angel and prevailed; he wept and made supplication unto him; he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us;

³ Tell your sons of it, and let your sons tell their sons, and their sons another generation.

¹ ¶ Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish’s belly, ² and said, I cried by reason of my tribulation unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and thou didst hear my voice. ³ For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about; all thy billows and thy waves passed over me. ⁴ Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will see thy holy temple again. ⁵ The waters compassed me about, even to the soul, the depth closed me round about; the weeds were wrapped about my head. ⁶ I descended to the roots of the mountains; the earth put her bars about me for ever; yet thou hast brought up my life out of the grave, O LORD my God.

⁶ I descended to the roots of the mountains; the earth put her bars about me for ever; yet thou hast brought up my life out of the grave, O LORD my God. ⁷ When my soul fainted within me, I remembered the LORD, and my prayer entered in unto thee in thy holy temple. ⁸ Those that observe lying vanities forsake his mercy. ⁹ But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that which I have vowed; that saving comes of the LORD.

⁴ And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be destroyed.

¹⁰ And God saw their works, because they turned from their evil way, and he repented of the evil that he had said that he would do unto them, and he did not do it.

¹⁸ Who is a God like unto thee that pardons iniquity, and passes over the rebellion with the remnant of his heritage? He did not retain his anger for ever because he delights in mercy. ¹⁹ He will turn again, he will have mercy on us; he will subdue our iniquities; and will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.

⁷ And the queen shall be taken captive; they shall order her to go up, and her maids shall take her, mourning as with the voice of doves, beating upon their breasts.

¹⁹ The LORD God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and upon my high places he will cause me to walk victorious in my instruments of music.

⁴ But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

⁶ But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy chamber, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father who is in secret; and thy Father who sees in secret shall reward thee openly.

¹² But the sons of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

¹ ¶ The Pharisees and the Sadducees came to tempt him; they asked him to show them a sign from the heaven.

³² I AM the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

⁴⁶ And they shall go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.

³³ And taking him aside from the multitude, he put his fingers into the man’s ears; and spitting, he touched the man’s tongue with the saliva;

¹³ But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias, for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

²⁶ And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who would pass from here to you cannot; neither can they pass from there to us. ²⁷ Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou would send him to my father’s house, ²⁸ for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. ²⁹ Abraham said unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. ³⁰ And he said, No, father Abraham; but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. ³¹ And he said unto him, If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, even though one rose from the dead.

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him and said of him, Behold a true Israelite, in whom is no guile!

¹⁴ Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole; sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.

⁴ It is expedient that I do the works of him that sent me while it is day; the night comes, when no one can work.

⁶ When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay

¹ ¶ Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. ² (It was that Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair whose brother Lazarus was sick.) ³ Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. ⁴ When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. ⁵ Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.

²⁷ ¶ Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour, but for this have I come in this hour.

³⁷ And it came to pass in those days that she was sick and died, whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.

²⁴ saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar; and, behold, God has given thee all those that sail with thee.

³⁰ For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep. ³¹ For if we would examine ourselves, we should not be judged. ³² But being judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

³² But being judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

⁹ But we had the sentence of death in ourselves that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead;

¹² ¶ For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with carnal wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world and more abundantly towards you.

¹⁷ For our tribulation, which is momentary and light, prepares an exceeding and eternal weight of glory unto us;

¹ ¶ For we know that if the earthly house of this our habitation were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

⁴ For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened, for we do not desire to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon with life swallowing up that which is mortal.

⁶ Nevertheless God, who comforts the humble, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

²⁷ For indeed he was sick near unto death, but God had mercy on him and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. ²⁸ I sent him, therefore, the more carefully, that when ye see him again, ye may rejoice and that I may be the less sorrowful. ²⁹ Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness and esteem such ³⁰ because for the work of the Christ he was near unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.

¹⁷ But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, that by me the preaching might be fully known and that all the Gentiles might hear, and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

¹² and as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall never fail.

⁷ Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, was heard because of his reverent fear;

¹⁰ For God is not unjust to forget your work and labour of charity which ye have showed in his name, having helped the saints and helping them.

¹⁰ For they verily for a few days chastened us as it seemed good unto them, but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. ¹¹ It is true that no chastening at present seems to be cause for joy, but rather for grief; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto those who are exercised by it.

¹⁴ and ye do not know what shall be tomorrow. For what is your life? Certainly it is a vapour that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

¹³ Because I have the right (as long as I am in this tabernacle) to stir you up by reminding you, ¹⁴ knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ has declared unto me.

²¹ Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, then we have confidence in God; ²² and whatsoever we ask, we receive of him because we keep his commandments and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

¹⁴ ¶ And this is the confidence that we have in God, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us: ¹⁵ And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we also know that we have the petitions that we asked of him.

¹⁷ For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall govern them and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
