³² Take heed therefore that ye do as the LORD your God hath commanded you, and turn not aside: either to the righthand or to the left:

³ Also thou shalt make no marriages with them, neither give thy daughter unto his son nor take his daughter unto thy son.

⁶ And thither thou shalt come, and thither ye shall bring your burnt sacrifices and your offerings, your tithes and heave offerings of your hands, your vows and free will offerings and thy first born of your oxen and of your sheep.

⁶ And thither thou shalt come, and thither ye shall bring your burnt sacrifices and your offerings, your tithes and heave offerings of your hands, your vows and free will offerings and thy first born of your oxen and of your sheep. ⁷ And there ye shall eat before the LORD your God, and ye shall rejoice in all that ye lay your hands on, both ye and your households, because the LORD thy God hath blessed thee. ⁸ Ye shall do after nothing that we do here this day — every man what seemeth him good in his own eyes - ⁹ for ye are not yet come to rest nor unto the inheritance which the LORD your God giveth you. ¹⁰ But ye shall go over Jordan and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and he shall give you rest from all your enemies round about: and ye shall dwell in safety. ¹¹ Therefore, when the LORD your God hath chosen a place to make his name dwell there, thither ye shall bring all that I command you: your burnt sacrifices and your offerings, your tithes and the heave offerings of your hands and all your godly vows which ye vow unto the LORD.

¹⁷ Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine and of thy oil, either the firstborn of thine oxen or of thy sheep, neither any of thy vows which thou vowest, nor thy freewill offerings or heave offerings of thine hands:

²³ And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he hath chosen to make his name dwell there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine and of thine oil, and the firstborn of thine oxen and of thy flock that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always. ²⁴ If the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it, because the place is too far from the which the LORD thy God hath chosen to set his name there — for the LORD thy God hath blessed thee - ²⁵ then make it in money and take the money in thine hand, and go unto the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen, ²⁶ and bestow that money on whatsoever thy soul lusteth after: on oxen, sheep, wine and good drink, and on whatsoever thy soul desireth, and eat there before the LORD thy God and be merry: both thou, and thine household, ²⁷ and the Levite that is in thy city. See thou forsake not the Levite, for he hath neither part nor inheritance with thee.

¹ At the end of seven years thou shalt make a free year. ² And this is the manner of the free year: whosoever lendeth ought with his hand unto his neighbour, may not ask again that which he hath lent, of his neighbour or of his brother: because it is called the LORD's free year, ³ yet of a stranger thou mayest call it home again. But that which thou hast with thy brother thine hand shall remit,

⁷ When one of thy brethren among you is waxed poor in any of thy cities within thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, see that thou harden not thine heart nor shut to thine hand from thy poor brother: ⁸ But open thine hand unto him and lend him sufficient for his need which he hath. ⁹ And beware that there be not a point of Belial in thine heart, that thou wouldest say, 'The seventh year, the year of freedom is at hand,' and therefore it grieve thee to look on thy poor brother and givest him nought and he then cry unto the LORD against thee and it be sin unto thee.

⁴ the first fruits of thy corn, wine and oil, and the first of thy sheep shearing must thou give him.

² take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou hast brought in out of the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee and put it in a maund and go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to make his name dwell there.

¹⁵ 'Cursed be he that maketh any carved image or image of metal — an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman — and putteth it in a secret place.' And all the people shall answer and say, 'Amen.' ¹⁶ "'Cursed be he that curseth his father or his mother.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' ¹⁷ "'Cursed be he that removeth his neighbour's mark.'

And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' ²³ "'Cursed be he that lieth with his mother-in-law.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' ²⁴ "'Cursed be he that smiteth his neighbour secretly.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' ²⁵ "'Cursed be he that taketh a reward to slay innocent blood.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.' ²⁶ "'Cursed be he that maintaineth not all the words of this law to do them.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'

¹² that thou shouldest come under the covenant of the LORD thy God, and under his oath which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day. ¹³ For to make thee a people unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. ¹⁴ "Also, I make not this covenant and this oath with you only:

⁴ Moses gave us a law which is the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.

²⁷ And Joshua made them that same day hewers of wood and drawers of water unto the congregation and unto the altar of God unto this day, in the place which God should choose.

⁵ And under the walls of the house he made galleries round about, both round about the temple and also the quyre. And so made sides round about. ⁶ And the nethermost gallery was five cubits broad and the middle gallery six. And the third, seven cubits broad. For he made the walls without, whereon the beams lay, ever thinner and thinner, so that they were not fastened in the walls of the house. ⁷ And the house was built of stone made perfect already before it was brought thither, so that there was neither hammer or axe either any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building. ⁸ And the door of the middle gallery was in the end of the house on the right side. And men went up with winding stairs into the middle gallery, and out of the middle into the third. ⁹ And so he built the house and finished it, and roofed it with beams of Cedar timber made hollow and joined together. ¹⁰ And then he built chambers over all the temple of five cubits height, and coupled the house together with beams of Cedar.

³¹ But Jehu cared not to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam which made Israel sin.

³ And the king stood by a pillar and made a covenant before the LORD that they should walk after the LORD, and keep his commandments and his witnesses and his ordinances with all their hearts and all their souls, and make good the words of the said covenant that were written in the foresaid book. And all the people consented to the covenant.

²⁶ For the Levites were committed to be principal porters of fidelity. And they had the oversight of the vestries and treasures of the house of God,

⁵ And they put them in order by lot, one with another that there should be rulers in the sanctuary and lords before God as well of the sons of Ithamar as of the sons of Eleazar.

⁷ The first lot fell to Jehoiarib. The second to Jedaiah.

⁸ And they cast Lots indifferently how they should wait: the small as well as the great, the scholar as well as the schoolmaster. ⁹ And the first lot of Asaph fell to Joseph. The second to Gedaliah with his brethren and sons, twelve persons.

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.

¹⁶ Now, LORD God of Israel, make good unto my father David thy servant that which thou hast promised him, saying, 'Thou shalt not be without one or other in my sight that shall sit upon the seat of Israel. Of this condition, yet: if thy children will take heed to their ways to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.'

¹³ so that all that sought not the LORD God of Israel, should die for it, whether he were small or great, man or woman. ¹⁴ And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice and shouting and with trumpets and horns.

⁵ And upon that he gathered together the priests and the Levites and said to them, "Go out through the cities of Judah and gather of all Israel silver, to strengthen the house of your God, year by year, and see that ye haste the thing." Howbeit, the Levites were slack. ⁶ Then the king called Jehoiada that was the chiefest, and said to him, "Why requirest thou not of the Levites to bring in, out of Judah and Jerusalem the sum appointed by Moses the servant of the LORD, and by the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?" ⁷ For wicked Athaliah and her children had broken the house of God, and had thereto bestowed all the dedicated gifts of the house of the LORD, about Baals. ⁸ Wherefore at the king's commandment, they made a coffer, and set it at the gate of the house of the LORD: ⁹ and made proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem to bring in to the LORD the taxation of Moses the servant of God, which he set upon Israel in the wilderness. ¹⁰ And the lords and all the people rejoiced and brought in and cast into the coffer until it was full. ¹¹ And when the time came that the chest should be brought in by the hands of the Levites at the appointment of the king, when they saw that there was much money: then came the king's scribe and one appointed by the high priest, and poured out that was in the coffer, and then took it and carried it to his place again, and thus they did day by day, and gathered much money. ¹² And the king and Jehoiada gave it to workmen that wrought upon the house of the LORD, and hired Masons and carpenters to redress the house of the LORD, and so did they artificers in iron and brass, to repair the house of the LORD. ¹³ And the workmen wrought and the work mended through their hands: and they made the house of God as it ought to be, and strengthened it. ¹⁴ And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada, and therewith were made vessels for the house of the LORD: even vessels to minister withal and to serve for burnt offerings as ladies and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.

³ And the king gave a portion of his substance for burnt offerings at morning and even, and for burnt offerings on the Sabbath days and new moons and other solemn feasts, according as it is written in the law of the LORD. ⁴ And he bade the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the part of the priests and Levites, that they might be maintained in the law of the LORD. ⁵ And as soon as the word came abroad the children of Israel brought abundance of first fruits of corn, wine, oil and honey, and of all manner of fruits of the field: and the tithes of all manner of things brought they in plenteously. ⁶ And the children of Israel and Judah that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithes of oxen and sheep, and tithes of dedicated things which were dedicated to the LORD their God, and put them on heaps.

⁶ And the children of Israel and Judah that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithes of oxen and sheep, and tithes of dedicated things which were dedicated to the LORD their God, and put them on heaps. ⁷ In the third month they began to lay the heaps and finished them the seventh. ⁸ And when Hezekiah and the lords came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD and his people Israel. ⁹ And Hezekiah questioned with the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. ¹⁰ And Azariah the chief priest of the house of Zadok answered him, and said, "Since they began to bring the heave offerings into the house of the LORD, we have eaten and had enough, and yet left abundance, for the LORD hath blessed his people and thereof is this heap left." ¹¹ And Hezekiah bade dress up the store houses about the house of the LORD. And so they did, ¹² and carried in the heave offerings and the tithes and the dedicated gifts; even of fidelity. Over which Conaniah the Levite had the rule with Shimei his brother next to him.

²⁴ And I took out twelve of the chief priests, Sherebiah and Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,

¹ Then all this was performed, the rulers came to me, and said, "The people of Israel, and the priests, and Levites are not separated from the nations in the lands as touching their abominations, namely of the Cananites, Hittites, Perezites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites.

¹ Then all this was performed, the rulers came to me, and said, "The people of Israel, and the priests, and Levites are not separated from the nations in the lands as touching their abominations, namely of the Cananites, Hittites, Perezites, Jebusites, Ammonites, Moabites, Egyptians, and Amorites. ² For they have taken the daughters of the same, and their sons, and have mixed the holy seed with the nations in the lands: and the hand of the rulers and lords of council hath been principal in this trespass."

² For they have taken the daughters of the same, and their sons, and have mixed the holy seed with the nations in the lands: and the hand of the rulers and lords of council hath been principal in this trespass." ³ When I heard this, I rent my clothes and my raiment, and plucked off the hair of my head and of my beard, and sat mourning.

¹² Therefore shall ye not give your daughters unto their sons, and their daughters shall ye not take unto your sons, and seek not their peace and wealth forever, that ye may be strong, and enjoy the good in the land, and that ye and your children may have the inheritance of it for evermore.' ¹³ And after all this that is come upon us, because of our evil deeds and great trespass, thou our God hast spared our wickednesses, and hast given us a deliverance as it is come to pass this day. ¹⁴ As for us, we have turned back, and have let go thy commandments, to make contract with the people of these abominations. Wilt thou then be wroth at us, till we be utterly consumed, so that nothing remain, and there be no deliverance?

¹⁰ And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them, "Ye have transgressed, that have taken strange wives, to make the trespass of Israel yet more: ¹¹ confess now therefore unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives."

¹¹ confess now therefore unto the LORD God of your fathers, and do his pleasure, and separate yourselves from the people of the land, and from the strange wives." ¹² Then answered all the congregation and said with a loud voice, "Let it be done as thou hast said.

¹² Then answered all the congregation and said with a loud voice, "Let it be done as thou hast said. ¹³ But the people are many, and it is a rainy weather; and the people are too faint to tarry without in the street - neither is this a work of one day or two, for we are many that have offended in this transgression. ¹⁴ Let us appoint our rulers therefore in all the congregation, that all they which have taken strange wives in our cities, may come at the time appointed - and the elders of every city and their judges with them - till the wrath of our God be turned away from us for this offense." ¹⁵ Then were appointed Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah over this matter: And Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levites helped them. ¹⁶ And the children of the captivity did even so. And Ezra the priest, and the ancient heads through the house of their fathers, and all that were now rehearsed by name, separated themselves; and sat them down on the first day of the tenth month to examine this matter. ¹⁷ And on the first day of the first month they made an end of all the men that had taken strange wives. ¹⁸ And among the children of the priests there were men found that had taken strange wives, namely among the children of Jeshua the son of Jozadak and of his brethren, Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah. ¹⁹ And they gave their hands thereupon, that they would put away their wives: and for their trespass offering to give a ram for their trespass.

²¹ Among the children of Harim: Maaseiah, and Elijah, and Shemaiah, Jehiel, and Uzziah.

²³ Among the Levites: Jozabad, Shimei, and Kelaiah, which same is Kelita, Pethahiah, Judah and Eliezer.

¹ And there arose a great complaint of the people, and of their wives, against their brethren the Jews. ² For there were some that said, "Our sons and daughters and we are too many, let us take corn for them to eat, that we may live." ³ Some said, "Let us set our lands, vineyards, and houses, to pledge, and take up corn in the dearth." ⁴ But some said, "Let us borrow money of the king's tribute for our lands and vineyards. ⁵ Now are our brethrens' bodies as our own bodies and their children as our children: else should we subdue our sons and daughters into bondage, and some of our daughters are subdued already, and no strength is there in our hands, and other men shall have our lands and vineyards." ⁶ But when I heard their complaint and such words, it displeased me sore, ⁷ and I advised so in my mind, that I rebuked the councilors and the rulers, and said unto them, "Will ye require usury one of another?" And I brought a great congregation against them, ⁸ and said unto them, "We, after our ability, have bought our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the Heathen. And will ye sell your brethren, whom we have bought unto us?" Then held they their peace, and could find nothing to answer. ⁹ Also I said, "It is not good, that ye do. Ought ye not to walk in the fear of God because of the rebuke of the Heathen our enemies? ¹⁰ I and my brethren, and my servants have lent them money and corn: but as for usury, let us leave it. ¹¹ Therefore this same day see that ye restore them their lands again, their vineyards, oil gardens, and houses, and the hundredth part of the money of the corn, wine, and oil, that ye have won of them." ¹² Then said they, "We will restore them again and will require nothing of them and will do as thou hast spoken." And I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do so. ¹³ And I shook my lap, and said, "God shake out every man after the same manner from his house and labour, that maintaineth not this word: even thus be he shaken out, and void." And all the congregation said, "Amen," and praised the LORD. And the people did so.

²⁴ And these were the chief among the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, and their brethren over against them, to give praise and thanks, according as David the man of God had ordained it, one watch over against another. ²⁵ Mattaniah, Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, and Akkub were porters in the watch at the thresholds of the gates. ²⁶ These were in the time of Joiakim the son of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and in the time of Nehemiah the captain and of the priest Ezra the scribe. ²⁷ And in the dedication of the wall at Jerusalem, were the Levites sought out of all their places, that they might be brought to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication and gladness, with thanksgivings, with singing, with cymbals, Psalteries, and harps. ²⁸ And the children of the singers gathered themselves together from the plain country about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi, ²⁹ and from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages about Jerusalem. ³⁰ And the priests and Levites purified themselves, and cleansed the people, the gates and the wall. ³¹ And I caused the princes of Judah to go up upon the wall, and appointed two great choirs of thanksgiving, which went on the righthand of the wall toward the Dung gate, ³² and after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah, ³³ and Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,

³³ and Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam, ³⁴ Judah, Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah:

⁴¹ and the priests, namely Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets, ⁴² and Maaseiah, Shemaiah, Eleazar, Uzzi, Jehohanan, Malchijah, Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, and Jezrahiah was the overseer.

³ Now when they heard the Law, they separated from Israel everyone that had mixed himself therein.

⁵ for he had made him a great chest, and there had they afore time laid the meat offerings, frankincense, vessel, and the tithes of corn, wine and oil - according to the commandment given to the Levites, singers and porters - and the heave offerings of the priests.

⁹ and commanded them to cleanse the chest. And thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, the meat offering and the incense. ¹⁰ And I perceived that the portions of the Levites were not given them, for the which cause the Levites and singers were fled, everyone, to his land for to work. ¹¹ Then reproved I the rulers, and said, "Why forsake we the house of God?" But I gathered them together, and set them in their place. ¹² Then brought all Judah the tithes of corn, wine and oil unto the treasury.

¹² Then brought all Judah the tithes of corn, wine and oil unto the treasury. ¹³ And I made treasurers over the treasure, even Shelemiah the priest, and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah, and under their hand Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah: for they were counted faithful, and their office was to distribute unto their brethren.

¹⁵ At the same time saw I some treading wine presses on the Sabbath and bringing in clusters, and asses laden with wine, grapes, figs, and bringing all manner of burdens unto Jerusalem, upon the Sabbath day. And I rebuked them earnestly the same day that they sold the victuals. ¹⁶ There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish and all manner of wares, and sold on the Sabbath unto the children of Judah and Jerusalem. ¹⁷ Then reproved I the rulers in Judah, and said unto them, "What evil thing is this that ye do, and break the Sabbath day? ¹⁸ Did not our fathers even thus, and our God brought all this plague upon us and upon this city? And ye make the wrath more yet upon Israel, in that ye break the Sabbath." ¹⁹ And it fortuned, that when the ports of Jerusalem began to be dark in the evening before the Sabbath, I commanded to shut the gates, and charged that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath: and some of my servants set I at the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the Sabbath day. ²⁰ Then remained the chapmen and merchants once or twice overnight without Jerusalem with all manner of wares. ²¹ Then reproved I them sore, and said unto them, "Why tarry ye all night about the wall? If ye do it once again, I will lay hands upon you." From that time forth came they no more on the Sabbath. ²² And I said unto the Levites which were clean, that they should come and keep the gates, to hallow the Sabbath day. Think upon me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to thy great mercy!

²⁵ And I reproved them, and cursed them, and smote certain men of them, and plucked them up, and took an oath of them by God, "Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, neither shall ye take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.

³¹ and to offer the wood at times appointed, and the firstfruits. Think thou upon me, O my God, for the best!

¹ {To the Chanter upon Gittith, a Psalm of David} O LORD our governour; how excellent is thy name in all the world; thou hast set thy glory above the heavens!

⁹ O LORD our governour, how excellent is thy name in all the world!

⁷ For God is the King of all the earth; sing ye praises unto him with understanding.

⁴⁵ that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the everlasting! Hallelujah!

¹⁰⁶ I have sworn, and am steadfastly purposed, to keep thy righteous judgments.

⁹ Yea because of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek to do thee good.

⁹ Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstlings of all thine increase:

⁹ Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstlings of all thine increase: ¹⁰ So shall thy barns be filled with plenteousness, and thy presses shall flow over with sweet wine.

¹⁸ The lot pacifieth the variance, and parteth the mighty asunder.

² and let not thine heart speak anything rashly before God. For God is in heaven, and thou upon earth, therefore let thy words be few.

¹ But the LORD will be merciful unto Jacob, and will take up Israel again, and set them in their own land. Strangers shall cleave unto them, and get them to the house of Jacob.

¹⁶ Lebanon is not sufficient to minister fire for his offering, and all the beasts thereof are not enough to one sacrifice.

⁶ Or is not this rather the fast that I have chosen? To loose wicked bonds, and to unbind bundles of oppression? And to let the bruised go free? And that ye should break all manner yokes?

¹³ Yea, if thou turn thy feet from the Sabbath, so that thou do not the thing which pleaseth thyself in my holy day: then shalt thou be called unto the pleasant, holy, and glorious Sabbath of the LORD, where thou shalt be in honor - so that thou do not after thine own imagination, neither seek thine own will, nor speak thine own words. ¹⁴ Then shalt thou have thy pleasure in the LORD, which shall carry thee high above the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the LORD's own mouth hath so promised.

² And shalt swear, 'The LORD liveth' in truth, in equity and righteousness: and all people shall be fortunable and joyful in him."

²¹ Thus the LORD commandeth: Take heed for your lives, that ye carry no burden upon you in the Sabbath, to bring it through the gates of Jerusalem: ²² ye shall bear no burden also out of your houses in the Sabbath: Ye shall do no labour therein, but hallow the Sabbath, as I commanded your fathers.

⁴ And after this manner shalt thou speak unto them, 'Thus sayeth the LORD: If ye will not obey me, to walk in my laws, which I have given you,

²⁷ And I will put my spirit in you, and will make that ye shall walk in mine ordinances and keep my laws and do them.

⁸ Should a man use falsity and deceit with God, as ye use falsity and deceit with me? Yet ye say, 'Wherein use we deceit with thee?' In tithes and heave offerings.

⁸ Should a man use falsity and deceit with God, as ye use falsity and deceit with me? Yet ye say, 'Wherein use we deceit with thee?' In tithes and heave offerings. ⁹ Therefore are ye cursed with penury, because ye dissemble with me, all the sort of you. ¹⁰ Bring every tithe into my barn, that there may be meat in mine house: and prove me withal, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven unto you, and pour you out a blessing with plenteousness.

¹⁰ Bring every tithe into my barn, that there may be meat in mine house: and prove me withal, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven unto you, and pour you out a blessing with plenteousness. ¹¹ Yea, I shall reprove the consumer for your sakes, so that he shall not eat up the fruit of your ground, neither shall the vineyard be barren in the field, sayeth the LORD of Hosts. ¹² Insomuch that all people shall say that ye be blessed, for ye shall be a pleasant land, sayeth the LORD of Hosts.

⁴ Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I committed unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and ordinances.

¹² And forgive us our trespasses, even as we forgive our trespassers.

²⁴ And when they were come to Capernaum, they that were wont to gather poll money, came to Peter and said, "Doth your Master pay tribute?" ²⁵ He said, "Yea." And when he was come into the house, Jesus spake first to him, saying, "What thinkest thou Simon? Of whom do the kings of the earth take tribute, or poll money? Of their children, or of strangers?" ²⁶ Peter said unto him, "Of strangers." Then said Jesus unto him again, "Then are the children free. ²⁷ Nevertheless, lest we should offend them, go to the sea and cast in thine angle, and take the fish that first cometh up: and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of twenty pence: that take, and pay for me and thee."

²⁷ Then had the Lord pity on that servant, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. ²⁸ And the said servant went out and found one of his fellows, which owed him a hundred pence. And laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, 'Pay me that thou owest.' ²⁹ And his fellow fell down, and besought him, saying, 'Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.' ³⁰ And he would not, but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. ³¹ When his other fellows saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their Lord all that had happened. ³² Then his Lord called him, and said unto him, 'O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou praydest me: ³³ Was it not mete also, that thou shouldest have had compassion on thy fellow, even as I had pity on thee?' ³⁴ And his Lord was wroth, and delivered him to the jailers, till he should pay all that was due to him. ³⁵ So like wise shall my heavenly father do unto you, except ye forgive with your hearts, each one to his brother their trespasses."

¹⁷ For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

¹⁹ Did not Moses give you a law? And yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?"

¹⁴ Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

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.

³⁴ Howbeit, certain men clave unto Paul and believed, among the which was Dionysius a senator, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

¹² When day was come, certain of the Jews gathered themselves together, and made a vow saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul. ¹³ They were about forty which had made this conspiration. ¹⁴ And they came to the chief priest and elders, and said, "We have bound ourselves with a vow, that we will eat nothing until we have slain Paul. ¹⁵ Now therefore give ye knowledge to the upper captain, and to the council that he bring him forth unto us tomorrow, as though we would know some thing more perfectly of him. But we, or ever he come near, are ready in the mean season to kill him."

²¹ But follow not their minds: for there lie in wait for him of them, more than forty men, which have bound themselves with a vow, that they will neither eat nor drink till they have killed him. And now are they ready, and look for thy promise."

¹ Paul, the servant of Jesus Christ, called unto the office to be an apostle, put apart to preach the Gospel of God,

⁹ Let love be without dissimulation. Hate that which is evil, and cleave unto that which is good.

⁶ Either only I and Barnabas have not power this to do? ⁷ Who goeth a warfare any time at his own cost? Who planteth a vineyard and eateth not of the fruit? Or who feedeth a flock and eateth not of the milk? ⁸ Say I these things after the manner of men? Or sayeth not the law the same also? ⁹ For it is written in the law of Moses, "Thou shall not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn." Doth God take thought for oxen? ¹⁰ Either saith he it not altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he which eareth should ear in hope: and that he which thresheth in hope, should be partaker of his hope. ¹¹ If we sow unto you spiritual things: is it a great thing if we reap your carnal things? ¹² If others be partakers of this power over you, wherefore are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power: but suffer all things lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ. ¹³ Do ye not understand how that they which minister in the temple, have their finding of the temple? And they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? ¹⁴ Even so also did the Lord ordain, that they which preach the gospel, should live of the gospel.

¹⁴ Set yourselves therefore at large, and bear not a stranger's yoke with the unbelievers. For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? What company hath light with darkness? ¹⁵ What concord hath Christ with Belial? Either, what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? ¹⁶ How agreeth the temple of God with images? And ye are the temple of the living God, as said God, "I will dwell among them, and walk among them, and will be their God: and they shall be my people." ¹⁷ Wherefore, "Come out from among them, and separate yourselves," saith the Lord, "and touch none unclean thing: so will I receive you,

¹² For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.

⁶ Let him that is taught in the word, minister unto him that teacheth him in all good things.

¹⁶ Let no man therefore trouble your consciences about meat and drink: or for a piece of a holy day, as the holy day of the new moon, or of the Sabbath day:

¹¹ For the grace of God, that bringeth salvation unto all men, hath appeared ¹² and teacheth us that we should deny ungodliness and worldly lusts, and that we should live sober minded, righteously, and godly in this present world, ¹³ looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of the mighty God, and of our saviour Jesus Christ: ¹⁴ which gave himself for us, to redeem us from all unrighteousness, and to purge us a peculiar people unto himself, fervently given unto good works.

³ Nevertheless, in those sacrifices is there mention made of sins every year. ⁴ For it is impossible that the blood of oxen, and of goats should take away sins. ⁵ Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, "Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not have: but a body hast thou ordained me. ⁶ In sacrifices and sin offerings thou hast no lust. ⁷ Then I said, 'Lo I come.' In the chiefest of the book it is written of me, that I should do thy will, o God."

¹¹ And every priest is ready daily ministering, and often times offereth one manner of offering, which can never take away sins:

²⁵ and let us not forsake the fellowship that we have among ourselves, as the manner of some is: but let us exhort one another, and that so much the more, because ye see that the day draweth nigh.

¹³ For there shall be judgment, merciless, to him that showeth no mercy, and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
