Nevertheless to such Solomon clave and fell in love with them. ³ And he had seven hundred very Queens and three hundred concubines which turned always his heart. ⁴ For when Solomon was old, his wives turned his heart after other gods: so that his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. ⁵ And Solomon followed Ashtaroth the goddess of the Sidonians, and Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. ⁶ And Solomon wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD and continued not after the LORD as did David his father. ⁷ After that, Solomon built an altar for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites in the hill that standeth before Jerusalem, and unto Moloch the abomination of the children of Ammon. ⁸ And likewise did he for all his outlandish wives, which burnt cense and offered unto their gods. ⁹ Then was the LORD angry with Solomon because his heart turned from the LORD God of Israel which appeared unto him twice, ¹⁰ and gave him a charge of this thing that he should not follow other gods. But he kept not that which the LORD commanded him:

¹² and to masons and hewers of stone, to buy timber and free stone, to repair the decay in the house of the LORD; and all that, that needeth repairing in the house.

²² If ye say unto me, 'We trust in the LORD our God' — Is not that he whose hill altars and other altars too, Hezekiah hath put down, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, 'Bow yourselves before this altar here in Jerusalem'?

⁶ even unto carpenters and masons, and for to buy timber and free stone to repair the house.

¹⁶ with the two pillars and the sea of brass and the bottoms, which Solomon had made in the house of the LORD. The brass of all these vessels was without weight.

¹ After that Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedar trees with masons and carpenters, to build him a house.

⁶ Neither in any place wheresoever I have walked throughout all Israel, spake I ever one word to any of the judges of Israel which I commanded to feed my people, saying, 'Why build ye me not a house of Cedar tree?' ⁷ Now therefore thus say unto my servant David, 'Thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: I took thee out of the pasture from after sheep, that thou shouldest be captain over my people Israel.

⁸ And I have been with thee in all thou tookest in hand, and have weeded out all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a name like the name of the greatest men of the earth. ⁹ And I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will make it fast, and they shall dwell under it and shall move no more. Neither shall the children of wickedness vex them any more as at the beginning,

⁹ And I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will make it fast, and they shall dwell under it and shall move no more. Neither shall the children of wickedness vex them any more as at the beginning, ¹⁰ and since the time I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and will bring under all thine enemies — for I told thee that the LORD would build thee a house.

¹⁰ and since the time I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and will bring under all thine enemies — for I told thee that the LORD would build thee a house. ¹¹ But when thy days be expired, that thou must go after thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons and will settle his kingdom.

¹⁸ And the Angel commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go and rear up an altar unto the LORD, in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. ¹⁹ And David went at the saying of Gad which spake in the name of the LORD. ²⁰ And Ornan turned about and saw the Angel, and his four sons with him, and hid themselves: for Oman was threshing wheat. ²¹ And David came to Ornan. And when Ornan looked and saw David, he went out of the threshing floor and bowed himself to David with his face to the ground. ²² And David said to Ornan, "Give me the place of the threshing floor, that I may build an altar therein unto the LORD. Let me have it for as much money as it is worth, that the plague may cease from the people." ²³ And Ornan said to David, "Take it to thee, and let my lord king do that seemeth good in his eyes. See, I give thee oxen for a burnt sacrifice, and the threshing sleds for wood, and wheat for meat offering: I give it all." ²⁴ But king David said to Ornan, "Not so, but I will buy it for as much money as it is worth. I will not take that which is thine, for the LORD, and offer burnt offering without cost." ²⁵ And so David gave to Ornan for the place sicles of gold, six hundred by weight. ²⁶ And David built there an altar unto the LORD and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings and called unto the LORD and he heard him from heaven in fire upon the altar of burnt offering. ²⁷ And the LORD commanded the Angel to put up his sword again to the sheath of it. ²⁸ At that time, when David saw that the LORD had heard him in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he used to offer there.

¹⁶ And of gold, silver, brass and iron there is no number. Up, therefore, and set upon it, and the LORD shall be with thee."

²⁵ For David said, "The LORD God of Israel hath given rest unto his people, and they shall dwell in Jerusalem forever.

¹ And David gathered together all the lords of Israel: the lords of the tribes, the lords of the companies that ministered to the king by course, the lords over the thousands and over the hundreds, and the lords over all the goods and cattle of the king and of his sons, with the chamberlains, warriors and all active men unto Jerusalem. ² And king David stood upon his feet and said, "Hear me, my brethren and my people: I had in mine heart to build a house of rest for the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, and a footstool for our God, and had made ready to build.

⁵ And of all my sons — for the LORD hath given me many sons — he hath chosen Solomon my son, to sit on the seat of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel. ⁶ And he said unto me, 'Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts, for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father,

⁶ And he said unto me, 'Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts, for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father,

⁶ And he said unto me, 'Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts, for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father, ⁷ and will establish his kingdom forever. If he will harden himself to do my commandments, and my laws, as it goeth this day.'

⁷ and will establish his kingdom forever. If he will harden himself to do my commandments, and my laws, as it goeth this day.'

⁷ and will establish his kingdom forever. If he will harden himself to do my commandments, and my laws, as it goeth this day.' ⁸ And now I say unto you before all Israel, the congregation of the LORD, and in the audience of our God: keep and seek for all the commandments of the LORD your God, that ye may enjoy a good land and inherit your children after you forever. ⁹ And thou, Solomon my son: know God thy father and serve him with a pure heart and lust of soul. For the LORD searcheth all hearts and understandeth all the imaginations of thoughts. If thou shalt seek him, he will be found of thee: But and if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever.

⁹ And thou, Solomon my son: know God thy father and serve him with a pure heart and lust of soul. For the LORD searcheth all hearts and understandeth all the imaginations of thoughts. If thou shalt seek him, he will be found of thee: But and if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever. ¹⁰ Take heed now, for the LORD hath chosen thee, to build a house of thy sanctuary. Be strong and do it."

¹⁰ Take heed now, for the LORD hath chosen thee, to build a house of thy sanctuary. Be strong and do it." ¹¹ And David gave Solomon his son the pattern of the porch and of the houses that belonged thereto, and of the storehouses, upper chambers, innermore parlors and of the house of the mercy seat: ¹² and the example of all that was in his mind, both of the courts of the house of the LORD and of the treasure houses round about, for the treasures of the house of God and for the treasure of the dedicated gifts, ¹³ and of the companies of the priests and Levites that waited by course, and of all workmanship, that should serve for the house of the LORD, and for all vessels that should serve in the house of the LORD. ¹⁴ And appointed him what weight of gold should serve for things of gold throughout all vessels for whatsoever use it served: and what weight of silver should suffice for all manner of vessels of silver, for whatsoever purpose they served. ¹⁵ And the weight of the golden candlesticks and of their lamps of gold, the weight for every candlestick and for their lamps. And for the candlesticks of silver by weight, both for the candlestick and also for her lamps according to the office of every candlestick. ¹⁶ And the weight of gold for the tables of shewbread, table by table: and likewise silver for the tables of silver. ¹⁷ And for flesh hooks, basins and drinking pots of pure gold. And for cups of gold by weight, cup by cup. And for cups of silver by weight, cup by cup. ¹⁸ And for the altar of cense of tried gold by weight. And the similitude of the seat of the Cherubs that stretched out their wings and covered the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD. ¹⁹ "All was given me by writing of the hand of the LORD, which made me understand all the workmanship of the pattern." ²⁰ And David said to Solomon his son, "Harden thyself and be strong and do it. Fear not, nor let thine heart discourage thee. For the LORD my God is with thee, and shall not leave thee nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work that must serve for the house of the LORD.

²⁰ And David said to Solomon his son, "Harden thyself and be strong and do it. Fear not, nor let thine heart discourage thee. For the LORD my God is with thee, and shall not leave thee nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work that must serve for the house of the LORD. ²¹ Behold the priests and Levites divided in companies, for to do all manner of service that pertaineth to the house of God; and beside that, thou hast with thee for all manner of workmanship, all that are willing and wise for any manner of service. And the lords and all the people are at thy commandment in all things."

²¹ Behold the priests and Levites divided in companies, for to do all manner of service that pertaineth to the house of God; and beside that, thou hast with thee for all manner of workmanship, all that are willing and wise for any manner of service. And the lords and all the people are at thy commandment in all things."

¹ And David the king said unto all the congregation, "God hath specially chosen Solomon my son which is yet young and tender, and the work is great, for the house is not for man, but for the LORD God. ² Moreover, I have prepared with all my might for the house of God: gold for things of gold, and silver for things of silver, brass for things of brass, iron for things of iron, and wood for things of wood: and onyx stones, set stones, and of other gay stones, and all manner of precious stones, and of marble great abundance. ³ And yet because I have lust to the house of my God, I have several gold and silver which I give to the house of my God above all I have prepared for the holy house: ⁴ even three thousand talents of gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of silver tried: ⁵ to sile the walls of the house with gold where it becometh, and with silver where silver is meet, and for all manner of work by the hands of Artificers. And let me see who is willing also, to fill his hand for the LORD this day." ⁶ And the ancient lords and the lords of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and hundreds and the lords over the substance of the king, were willing

⁶ And the ancient lords and the lords of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and hundreds and the lords over the substance of the king, were willing ⁷ and gave for the service of the house of God, five thousand talents of gold and ten thousand pieces of gold coins, and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron.

⁷ and gave for the service of the house of God, five thousand talents of gold and ten thousand pieces of gold coins, and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron.

¹⁰ Wherefore give me wisdom and knowledge how to behave myself unto this people: for who is able to judge this people that is so great?"

³ And Solomon sent to Hiram king of Tyre, saying, "As thou didst deal with David my father and didst send him cedar wood, to build him a house to dwell in, even so deal with me now: ⁴ that I may build a house for the name of the LORD my God, to consecrate it to him to burn sweet odours and to set shewbread before him perpetually, and for burnt sacrifices morning and evening, and on the Sabbath days, and the first day of every new moon, and in the solemn feasts of the LORD our God, so to continue ever in Israel. ⁵ And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above other gods.

¹⁷ And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the time his father David had numbered them. And they were found a hundred and eighty thousand and six hundred.

¹ And Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, which was showed David his father when he prepared a place in the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

¹⁸ And made of all these vessels so mighty great abundance, that the weight of brass could not be reckoned.

⁷ And the priests brought the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD unto his place in the quire of the temple and place most holy: even under the wings of the Cherubs,

⁵ 'Since the time I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there, neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel. ⁶ But now I have chosen Jerusalem to have my name there, and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.' ⁷ And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel: ⁸ But the LORD said to David my father, 'Forasmuch as it was in thine heart, to build a house for my name, thou didst well that thou hadst it in thine heart. ⁹ Notwithstanding, thou shalt not build the house, but thy son which shall issue out of thy loins, he shall build a house for my name.'

¹¹ And therein I have put the Ark, wherein is the Covenant of the LORD made with the children of Israel."

²¹ And this house that is so high, shall be a wonder to all that passeth thereby that they shall say, 'Why hath the LORD dealt on this fashion with this land and with this house?'

⁷ And all the people that were left of the Hittites, Amorites, Perezites, Hivites and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel - ⁸ even the children of them, which were left after them in the land, and were not consumed of the children of Israel - them did Solomon make tributaries unto this day.

⁷ And there gathered to him lewd men and unthrifties, and prevailed against Rehoboam the son of Solomon: for Rehoboam was young and tender hearted and not strong enough for them.

³ And Jehoshaphat feared and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed fasting throughout all Judah.

¹⁷ Moreover, it belongeth not to you for to fight this quarrel: but step forth and stand and behold the help of the LORD which is with you: fear not, nor let your heart fail you, O ye of Judah and of Jerusalem. Tomorrow go out to them: for the LORD is with you."

²⁰ And so they arose early in the morning and gat them out unto the wilderness of Tekoa. And as they went out Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Hear me, Judah and the inhabiters of Jerusalem: Believe in the LORD your God, and so shall ye continue: and believe his prophets and so shall ye prosper."

¹² Is it not that Hezekiah that put down his hill altars and his other altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, 'Before one altar ye shall bow yourselves and upon that offer also?'

⁷ Nevertheless, they gave money unto the masons and the carpenters, and meat and drink and oil unto them of Sidon and of Tyre, to bring Cedar timber from Lebanon by sea unto Joppa, according to the commandment of Cyrus the king of Persia.

¹² Many also of the old priests and Levites and ancient fathers which had seen the first house - when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes - wept with a loud voice. And many shouted with joy,

¹² But the God that dwelleth in heaven, destroy all kings and people that put to their hand to alter and to break down the house of God at Jerusalem. I, Darius, have commanded, that this be diligently done."

²⁹ If he deliver and grant pardon, who will judge or condemn? But if he hide away his countenance, who will turn it about again, whether it be to the people or to any man?

⁴ One thing have I desired of the LORD, which I will require, even that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the fair beauty of the LORD, and to visit his temple.

¹ {To the Chanter, an instruction of the sons of Korah} We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us what thou hast done in their time of old. ² How thou hast driven out the Heathen with thy hand, and planted them in; how thou hast destroyed the nations and cast them out. ³ For they got not the land in possession through their own sword, neither was it their own arm that helped them — But thy righthand, thine arm and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. ⁴ Thou art my King, O God; send help unto Jacob. ⁵ Through thee will we overthrow our enemies, and in thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

¹ {Of Solomon} Give the king thy judgments, O God, and thy righteousness unto the king's son.

⁷ In his time shall the righteous flourish, yea, and abundance of peace, so long as the moon endureth.

⁶⁰ so that he forsook the Tabernacle in Shiloh, even the tent that he had pitched among men.

⁶⁷ He refused the tabernacle of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim, ⁶⁸ but chose the tribe of Judah, even the hill of Zion which he loved. ⁶⁹ And there he built his temple on high, and laid the foundation of it like the ground, that it might perpetually endure.

²⁶ He shall call me, "Thou art my father, my God, and the strength of my salvation.'

³⁶ His seed shall endure forever, and his throne is like as the sun before me. ³⁷ He shall stand fast for evermore as the moon, and as the faithful witness in heaven." Selah.

⁶ So shall I not be confounded, while I have respect unto all thy commandments.

⁵ until I find out a place for the temple of the LORD, a habitation for the mighty one of Jacob."

¹³ For the LORD hath chosen Zion, to be a habitation for himself; he hath longed for her. ¹⁴ "This shall be my rest; here will I dwell, for I have a delight therein.

⁶ For it is the LORD that giveth wisdom, out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. ⁷ He preserveth the welfare of the righteous, and defendeth them that walk innocently;

⁸ The wisdom of him that hath understanding is to take heed unto his way; but the foolishness of the unwise deceiveth.

¹⁰ Whatsoever thou takest in hand to do, that do with all thy power: for among the dead, where thou goest unto, there is neither work, counsel, knowledge nor wisdom.

⁶ For unto us a child is born, and unto us a son is given. Upon his shoulders shall the kingdom lie, and he shall be called with his own name, "Wonderful, the giver of counsel, the mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of peace." ⁷ He shall make no end to increase the kingdom and peace, and shall sit upon the seat of David and in his kingdom, to set up the same: to establish it with equity and righteousness, from thenceforth for evermore. This shall the jealousy of the LORD of hosts bring to pass.

⁷ He shall make no end to increase the kingdom and peace, and shall sit upon the seat of David and in his kingdom, to set up the same: to establish it with equity and righteousness, from thenceforth for evermore. This shall the jealousy of the LORD of hosts bring to pass.

¹² But unto us, O LORD, provide for peace: for thou workest in us all our works.

⁷ It is I that created the light, and darkness. I make peace, and trouble: yea, even I the LORD do all these things.

¹⁹ I make the fruits of thanksgiving. I give peace unto them that are far off, and to them that are nigh, say I the LORD, that make him whole.

¹ Up and receive light, Jerusalem: for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is up over thee.

⁵ Strangers shall stand and feed your cattle, and the Aliens shall be your plowmen and reapers. ⁶ But ye shall be named the priests of the LORD, and men shall call you the servants of our God. Ye shall enjoy the goods of the Gentiles and triumph in their substance.

¹¹ Our holy house which is our beauty, where our fathers praised thee, is burnt up: yea, all our commodities and pleasures are wasted away.

¹² For thus sayeth the LORD: behold, I will let peace into her, like a water flood, and the might of the Heathen like a flowing stream. Then shall ye suck, ye shall be born upon her sides, and be joyful upon her knees.

³ Thus the LORD commandeth: Keep equity and righteousness, deliver the oppressed from the power of the violent: do not grieve nor oppress the stranger, the fatherless nor the widow, and shed no innocent blood in this place. ⁴ And if ye keep these things faithfully, then shall there come in at the door of this house, kings, to sit upon David's seat: they shall be carried in Chariots and ride upon horses, both they and their servants, and their people.

²⁰ The chief Captain took also the two pillars, the laver, and the twelve brazen bullocks that stood under the seat, which king Solomon made in the house of the LORD: and all the vessel contained so much metal, that it might not be weighed.

²⁰ because they made thereof not only costly Jewels for their pomp and pride, but also abominable images and Idols. For this cause will I make them to be abhorred.

³ and I turned me unto God the LORD, for to pray and make mine intercession, with fasting, sack cloth and ashes.

⁵ Consider now your own ways in your hearts, sayeth the LORD of Hosts.

³ 'Who is left among you, that saw this house in her first beauty? But what think ye now by it? Is it not in your eyes, even as though it were nothing?

⁹ Thus the glory of the last house shall be greater than the first, sayeth the LORD of Hosts: and in this place will I give peace, sayeth the LORD of Hosts.'"

¹² And speak unto him, 'Thus sayeth the LORD of Hosts: Behold the man whose name is the branch: and he that shall spring up after him, shall build up the temple of the LORD. ¹³ Yea, even he shall build up the temple of the LORD. He shall bear the praise, he shall sit upon the LORD's throne, and have the domination. A priest shall he be also upon his throne, and a peaceable counsel shall be betwixt them both.

²³ "Behold, a maiden shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is by interpretation, God with us."

¹⁵ Jesus answered and said to him, "Let it be so now, for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he suffered him.

¹⁸ And Jesus came, and spake unto them, saying, "All power is given unto me in heaven, and in earth. ¹⁹ Go therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and the son and the holy ghost; ²⁰ teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I commanded you. And lo, I am with you always even until the end of the world."

²⁰ teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I commanded you. And lo, I am with you always even until the end of the world."

⁵ And some spake of the temple, how it was garnished with goodly stones, and jewels. He said,

¹⁵ For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, where against all your adversaries shall not be able to speak nor resist.

³⁰ He must increase: and I must decrease.

²⁰ Our fathers worshipped in this mountain: and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." ²¹ Jesus said unto her, "Woman, believe me; The hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the father. ²² Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship. For salvation cometh of the Jews.

³⁷ And herein is the saying true, That one soweth; And another reapeth. ³⁸ I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor. Other men laboured; And ye are entered into their labors."

⁴ I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day. The night cometh, when no man can work.

¹ Before the feast of Easter, when Jesus knew that his hour was come, that he should depart out of this world unto the father; When he loved his which were in the world, unto the end he loved them;

² until the day in the which he was taken up; after that he, through the holy ghost, had given commandments unto the apostles, which he had chosen:

³¹ Then had the congregations rest, throughout all Jewry and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified, and walked in the fear of the Lord; And multiplied by the comfort of the holy ghost.

²³ Which when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad: and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would continually cleave unto the Lord.

²² And after he had put him down, he set up David to be their king: of whom he gave reported, saying, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, he shall fulfill all my will.'

²⁵ And now behold, I am sure that henceforth ye all, through whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. ²⁶ Wherefore I take you to record this same day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. ²⁷ For I have kept nothing back: but have showed you all the counsel of God. ²⁸ Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, whereof the holy ghost hath made you overseers: to rule the congregation of God, which he hath purchased with his blood. ²⁹ For I am sure of this: that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, which will not spare the flock. ³⁰ Moreover, of your own selves shall men arise speaking perverse things, to draw disciples after them. ³¹ Therefore awake and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one of you, both night and day with tears.

¹⁶ And now: why tarriest thou? Arise and be baptised, and wash away thy sins, in calling on the name of the Lord.'

³¹ What shall we then say unto these things? if God be on our side: who can be against us?

³³ The God of peace be with all you Amen.

² that ye receive her in the Lord as it becometh saints, and that ye assist her, in whatsoever business she needeth of your aid. For she hath succored many, and mine own self also. ³ Greet Prisca and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus,

⁵⁸ Therefore, my dear brethren, be ye steadfast and unmovable, always rich in the works of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know how that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

¹³ Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, and be strong.

² how that the abundance of their rejoicing is, that they are tried with much tribulation. And thereto, though they were exceeding poor, yet have they given exceeding richly, and that in singleness.

² Bear ye one another's burden; and so fulfill the law of Christ.

¹² remember, I say, that ye were at that time without Christ, and were reputed aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and were strangers from the testaments of promise, and had no hope, and were without God in this world.

¹⁹ Now, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners: but citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, ²⁰ and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets — Jesus Christ being the head cornerstone - ²¹ in whom every building coupled together, groweth unto a holy temple in the Lord, ²² in whom ye also are built together, and made a habitation for God in the spirit.

¹⁴ Wherefore he saith, "Awake thou that sleepest, and stand up from death, and Christ shall give thee light."

¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

¹² Wherefore, my dearly beloved, as ye have always obeyed — not when I was present only, but now much more in mine absence — even so work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. ¹³ For it is God which worketh in you both the will and also the deed, even of good will.

³ Yea, and I beseech thee faithful yokefellow, help the women which laboured with me in the gospel, and with Clement also, and with others, my labour fellows, whose names are in the book of life.

¹³ I can do all things through the help of Christ, which strengtheneth me.

²¹ I testify before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without hasty judgment, and do nothing partially.

¹³ I give thee charge in the sight of God, which quickeneth all things, and before Jesus Christ, which under Pontius Pilate witnessed a good witnessing, ¹⁴ that thou keep the commandment, and be without spot and unrebukable until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ; ¹⁵ which appearing, when the time is come, he shall show that is blessed and mighty only, King of Kings, and Lord of lords, ¹⁶ which only hath immortality, and dwelleth in light that no man can attain, whom never man saw, neither can see: unto whom be honour and rule everlasting. Amen. ¹⁷ Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not exceeding wise, and that they trust not in the uncertain riches, but in the living God, which giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy them,

¹ Thou, therefore, my son be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.

¹ I testify therefore before God, and before the Lord Jesus Christ, which shall judge quick and dead at his appearing in his kingdom:

²² The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen. {The end of the Second Epistle unto Timothy, Written from Rome, when Paul was presented the second time up before the Emperor Nero}

⁵ For unto which of the angels said he at any time, "Thou art my son, this day begat I thee?" And again, "I will be his father, and he shall be my son."

⁵ If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, which giveth to all men indifferently and casteth no man in the teeth; and it shall be given him.

⁸ If ye fulfil the royal law — according to the scripture which saith, "Thou shalt love thine neighbour as thyself" — ye do well.

¹³ Notwithstanding, I think it mete, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; ¹⁴ forasmuch as I am sure how that the time is at hand that I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath showed me. ¹⁵ I will enforce, therefore, that on every side ye might have wherewith to stir up the remembrance of these things after my departing.

³ And hereby we are sure that we know him: if we keep his commandments.

⁸ We therefore ought to receive such, that we also might be helpers to the truth.
