And when there also they began to be famished, the people cried to Pharao, for food. And he said to them: Go to Joseph: and do all that he shall say to you. Gen. 41:55
And the famine increased daily in all the land: and Joseph opened all the barns, and sold to the Egyptians: for the famine had oppressed them also. Gen. 41:56

Israel said to them: You have done this for my misery, in that you told him you had also another brother. Gen. 43:6
I take the boy upon me, require him at my hand: unless I bring him again, and restore him to thee, I will be guilty of sin against thee for ever. Gen. 43:9
And may my almighty God make him favourable to you: and send back with you your brother, whom he keepeth, and this Benjamin: and as for me I shall be desolate without children. Gen. 43:14
But he answered: Peace be with you, fear not: your God, and the God of your father, hath given you treasure in your sacks. For the money, which you gave me, I have for good. And he brought Simeon out to them. Gen. 43:23
But they made ready the presents, against Joseph came at noon: for they had heard that they should eat bread there. Gen. 43:25

And Juda at the head of his brethren went in to Joseph (for he was not yet gone out of the place) and they all together fell down before him on the ground. Gen. 44:14

We suggested to my lord: The boy cannot leave his father: for if he leave him, he will die. Gen. 44:22

And when they had brought them, he gave them food in exchange for their horses, and sheep, and oxen, and asses: and he maintained them that year for the exchange of their cattle. Gen. 47:17

They answered her: Be our lives for you unto death, only if thou betray us not. And when the Lord shall have delivered us the land, we will shew thee mercy and truth. Josu. 2:14
Then she let them down with a cord out of a window: for her house joined close to the wall. Josu. 2:15
But they went and came to the mountains, and stayed there three days, till they that pursued them were returned. For having sought them through all the way, they found them not. Josu. 2:22
¤ And Josue rose before daylight, and removed the camp: and they departed from Setim, and came to the Jordan: he, and all the children of Israel, and they abode there for three days. Josu. 3:1

That all the people of the earth may learn the most mighty hand of the Lord, that you also may fear the Lord your God for ever. Josu. 4:24
Now this is the cause of the second circumcision: All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, all the men fit for war, died in the desert, during the time of the long going about in the way: Josu. 5:4
The children of these succeeded in the place of their fathers, and were circumcised by Josue: for they were uncircumcised even as they were born, and no one had circumcised them in the way. Josu. 5:7
Loose, saith he, thy shoes from off thy feet: for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Josue did as was commanded him. Josu. 5:15

And when in the seventh going about the priests sounded with the trumpets, Josue said to all Israel: Shout: for the Lord hath delivered the city to you: Josu. 6:16
And let this city be an anathema, and all things that are in it, to the Lord. Let only Rahab, the harlot, live, with all that are with her in the house: for she hid the messengers whom we sent. Josu. 6:17
But Josue said to the two men that had been sent for spies: Go into the harlot's house, and bring her out, and all things that are hers, as you assured her by oath. Josu. 6:22
¤ But the children of Israel transgressed the commandment, and took to their own use of that which was accursed. For Achan, the son of Charmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zare, of the tribe of Juda, took something of the anathema: and the Lord was angry against the children of Israel. Josu. 7:1
Arise, sanctify the people, and say to them: Be ye sanctified against tomorrow: for thus saith the Lord God of Israel: The curse is in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thy enemies, till he be destroyed out of thee, that is defiled with this wickedness. Josu. 7:13
For I saw among the spoils a scarlet garment, exceeding good, and two hundred sicles of silver, and a golden rule of fifty sicles: and I coveted them, and I took them away, and hid them in the ground in the midst of my tent, and the silver I covered with the earth that I dug up. Josu. 7:21
And thou shalt do to the city of Hai, and to the king thereof, as thou hast done to Jericho, and to the king thereof: but the spoils, and all the cattle, you shall take for a prey to yourselves: lay an ambush for the city behind it. Josu. 8:2
Till they pursuing us be drawn farther from the city: for they will think that we flee as before. Josu. 8:6
The Lord said to Josue: Lift up the shield that is in thy hand, towards the city of Hai, for I will deliver it to thee. Josu. 8:18
Cunningly devising took for themselves provisions, laying old sacks upon their asses, and wine bottles rent and sewed up again, Josu. 9:4
And very old shoes, which for a show of age were clouted with patches, and old garments upon them: the loaves also, which they carried for provisions by the way, were hard, and broken into pieces: Josu. 9:5
They answered: From a very far country thy servants are come in the name of the Lord thy God. For we have heard the fame of his power, all the things that he did in Egypt. Josu. 9:9
And our ancients, and all the inhabitants of our country, said to us: Take with you victuals for a long way, and go meet them, and say: We are your servants, make ye a league with us. Josu. 9:11
They answered: It was told us, thy servants, that the Lord thy God had promised his servant Moses, to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants thereof. Therefore we feared exceedingly and provided for our lives, compelled by the dread we had of you, and we took this counsel. Josu. 9:24
¤ When Adonisedec, king of Jerusalem, had heard these things, to wit, that Josue had taken Hai, and had destroyed it, (for as he had done to Jericho and the king thereof, so did he to Hai and its king) and that the Gabaonites were gone over to Israel, and were their confederates, Josu. 10:1
He was exceedingly afraid. For Gabaon was a great city, and one of the royal cities, and greater than the town of Hai, and all its fighting men were most valiant. Josu. 10:2
But the inhabitants of the city of Gabaon, which was besieged, sent to Josue, who then abode in the camp at Galgal, and said to him: Withdraw not thy hands from helping thy servants: come up quickly, and save us, and bring us succour: for all the kings of the Amorrhites, who dwell in the mountains, are gathered together against us. Josu. 10:6
And the Lord said to Josue: Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands: none of them shall be able to stand against thee. Josu. 10:8
There was not before, nor after, so long a day, the Lord obeying the voice of a man, and fighting for Israel. Josu. 10:14
For the five kings were fled, and had hid themselves in a cave of the city of Maceda. Josu. 10:16
He said again to them: Fear not, neither be ye dismayed, take courage, and be strong: for so will the Lord do to all your enemies, against whom you fight. Josu. 10:25
And all their kings, and their lands he took and wasted at one onset: for the Lord the God of Israel fought for him. Josu. 10:42
And the Lord said to Josue: Fear them not: for to morrow at this same hour I will deliver all these to be slain in the sight of Israel: thou shalt hamstring their horses, and thou shalt burn their chariots with fire. Josu. 11:6
There was not a city that delivered itself to the children of Israel, except the Hevite, who dwelt in Gabaon: for he took all by fight. Josu. 11:19
For it was the sentence of the Lord, that their hearts should be hardened, and they should fight against Israel, and fall, and should not deserve any clemency, and should be destroyed as the Lord had commanded Moses. Josu. 11:20
For to two tribes and a half Moses had given possession beyond the Jordan: besides the Levites, who received no land among their brethren: Josu. 14:3
And Moses swore in that day, saying: The land which thy foot hath trodden upon shall be thy possession, and thy children's for ever, because thou hast followed the Lord my God. Josu. 14:9
And there were cities with their villages separated for the children of Ephraim in the midst of the possession of the children of Manasses. Josu. 16:9
¤ And this lot fell to the tribe of Manasses for he is the firstborn of Joseph to Machir the firstborn of Manasses the father of Galaad, who was a warlike man, and had for possession Galaad and Basan. Josu. 17:1
For the daughters of Manasses possessed inheritance in the midst of his sons. And the land of Galaad fell to the lot of the rest of the children of Manasses. Josu. 17:6
For the lot of Manasses took in the land of Taphua, which is on the borders of Manasses, and belongs to the children of Ephraim. Josu. 17:8
And Josue said to them: If thou be a great people, go up into the woodland, and cut down room for thyself in the land of the Pherezite and the Raphaims: because the possession of mount Ephraim is too narrow for thee. Josu. 17:15
And the children of Joseph answered him: We cannot go up to the mountains, for the Chanaanites that dwell in the low lands, wherein are situate Bethsan with its towns, and Jezrael in the midst of the valley, have chariots of iron. Josu. 17:16
The land in the midst between these mark ye out into seven parts; and you shall come hither to me, that I may cast lots for you before the Lord your God. Josu. 18:6
For the Levites have no part among you, but the priesthood of the Lord is their inheritance. And Gad and Ruben, and the half tribe of Manasses have already received their possessions beyond the Jordan eastward: which Moses the servant of the Lord gave them. Josu. 18:7
And when the men were risen up, to go to mark out the land, Josue commanded them saying: Go round the land and mark it out, and return to me: that I may cast lots for you before the Lord in Silo. Josu. 18:8
¤ And the second lot came forth for the children of Simeon by their kindreds: and their inheritance was Josu. 19:1
According to the commandment of the Lord, the city which he asked for, Thamnath Saraa, in mount Ephraim: and he built up the city, and dwelt in it. Josu. 19:50
These cities were appointed for all the children of Israel, and for the strangers, that dwelt among them, that whosoever had killed a person unawares might flee to them, and not die by the hand of the kinsman, coveting to revenge the blood that was shed, until he should stand before the people to lay open his cause. Josu. 20:9
And the lot came out for the family of Caath of the children of Aaron the priest out of the tribes of Juda, and of Simeon, and of Benjamin, thirteen cities. Josu. 21:4
To the sons of Aaron, of the families of Caath of the race of Levi (for the first lot came out for them) Josu. 21:10
But the fields and the villages thereof he had given to Caleb the son of Jephone for his possession. Josu. 21:12
The Lord hath put the river Jordan for a border between us and you, O ye children of Ruben, and ye children of Gad: and therefore you have no part in the Lord. And by this occasion your children shall turn away our children from the fear of the Lord. We therefore thought it best, Josu. 22:25
And said: Let us build us an altar, not for holocausts, nor to offer victims, Josu. 22:26
But for a testimony between us and you, and our posterity and yours, that we may serve the Lord, and that we may have a right to offer both holocausts, and victims and sacrifices of peace offerings: and that your children to morrow may not say to our children: You have no part in the Lord. Josu. 22:27
And if they will say so, they shall answer them: Behold the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for holocausts, nor for sacrifice, but for a testimony between us and you. Josu. 22:28
Josue called for all Israel, and for the elders, and for the princes, and for the judges, and for the masters, and said to them: I am old, and far advanced in years, Josu. 23:2
And you see all that the Lord your God hath done to all the nations round about, how he himself hath fought for you: Josu. 23:3
One of you shall chase a thousand men of the enemies: because the Lord your God himself will fight for you, as he hath promised. Josu. 23:10
Know ye for a certainty that the Lord your God will not destroy them before your face, but they shall be a pit and a snare in your way, and a stumbling-block at your side, and stakes in your eyes, till he take you away and destroy you from off this excellent land, which he hath given you. Josu. 23:13
Behold this day I am going into the way of all the earth, and you shall know with all your mind that of all the words which the Lord promised to perform for you, not one hath failed, Josu. 23:14
¤ And Josue gathered together all the tribes of Israel in Sichem, and called for the ancients, and the princes and the judges, and the masters: and they stood in the sight of the Lord: Josu. 24:1

And Balac son of Sephor king of Moab arose and fought against Israel. And he sent and called for Balaam son of Beor, to curse you: Josu. 24:9
But if it seem evil to you to serve the Lord, you have your choice: choose this day that which pleaseth you, whom you would rather serve, whether the gods which your fathers served in Mesopotamia, or the gods of the Amorrhites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house we will serve the Lord, Josu. 24:15
And he hath cast out all the nations, the Amorrhite the inhabitant of the land into which we are come. Therefore we will serve the Lord, for he is our God. Josu. 24:18
And Josue said to the people: You will not be able to serve the Lord: for he is a holy God, and mighty and jealous, and will not forgive your wickedness and sins. Josu. 24:19
And the bones of Joseph which the children of Israel had taken out of Egypt, they buried in Sichem, in that part of the field which Jacob had bought of the sons of Hemor the father of Sichem, for a hundred young ewes, and it was in the possession of the sons of Joseph. Josu. 24:32

¤ And an angel of the Lord went up from Galgal to the place of weepers, and said: I made you go out of Egypt, and have brought you into the land for which I swore to your fathers: and I promised that I would not make void my covenant with you for ever: Judg. 2:1

And Debbora said to Barac: Arise, for this is the day wherein the Lord hath delivered Sisara into thy hands: behold, he is thy leader. And Barac went down from Mount Thabor, and ten thousand fighting men with him. Judg. 4:14
But Sisara fleeing, came to the tent of Jahel, the wife of Haber, the Cinite, for there was peace between Jabin, the king of Asor, and the house of Haber, the Cinite. Judg. 4:17
Said to her: Give me, I beseech thee, a little water, for I am very thirsty. She opened a bottle of milk, and gave him to drink, and covered him. Judg. 4:19
He asked her water, and she gave him milk, and offered him butter in a dish fit for princes. Judg. 5:25
She put her left hand to the nail, and her right hand to the workman's hammer, and she struck Sisara, seeking in his head a place for the wound, and strongly piercing through his temples. Judg. 5:26
Perhaps he is now dividing the spoils, and the fairest of the women is chosen out for him: garments of divers colours are given to Sisara for his prey, and furniture of different kinds is heaped together to adorn the necks. Judg. 5:30
So let all thy enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that love thee shine, as the sun shineth in his rising. And the land rested for forty years. Judg. 5:31

And Gedeon seeing that it was the angel of the Lord, said: Alas, my Lord God: for I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face. Judg. 6:22
And they said one to another: Who hath done this? And when they inquired for the author of the fact, it was said: Gedeon, the son of Joas, did all this. Judg. 6:29
He answered them: Are you the avengers of Baal, that you fight for him? he that is his adversary, let him die before to morrow light appear: if he be a god, let him revenge himself on him that hath cast down his altar. Judg. 6:31
He to whom he spoke, answered: This is nothing else but the sword of Gedeon, the son of Joas, a man of Israel. For the Lord hath delivered Madian, and all their camp into his hand. Judg. 7:14
And when Gedeon had heard the dream, and the interpretation thereof, he adored: and returned to the camp of Israel, and said: Arise, for the Lord hath delivered the camp of Madian into our hands. Judg. 7:15
And he said to the men of Soccoth: Give, I beseech you, bread to the people that is with me, for they are faint: that we may pursue Zebee, and Salmana, the kings of Madian. Judg. 8:5

Whereas he hath dwelt in Hesebon, and the villages thereof, and in Aroer, and its villages, and in all the cities near the Jordan, for three hundred years. Why have you for so long a time attempted nothing about this claim? Judg. 11:26
And when Jephte returned into Maspha, to his house, his only daughter met him with timbrels and with dances: for he had no other children. Judg. 11:34
And when he saw her, he rent his garments, and said: Alas! my daughter, thou hast deceived me, and thou thyself art deceived: for I have opened my mouth to the Lord, and I can do no other thing. Judg. 11:35
And she said to her father: Grant me only this, which I desire: Let me go, that I may go about the mountains for two months, and may bewail my virginity with my companions. Judg. 11:37
And he answered her: Go. And he sent her away for two months. And when she was gone with her comrades and companions, she mourned her virginity in the mountains. Judg. 11:38
That, from year to year, the daughters of Israel assemble together, and lament the daughter of Jephte the Galaadite, for four days. Judg. 11:40
He had thirty sons, and as many daughters, whom he sent abroad, and gave to husbands, and took wives for his sons, of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel seven years: Judg. 12:9
Because thou shalt conceive, and bear a son, and no razor shall touch his head: for he shall be a Nazarite of God, from his infancy, and from his mother's womb, and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines. Judg. 13:5
But he answered thus: Behold thou shalt conceive and bear a son: beware thou drink no wine, nor strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing: for the child shall be a Nazarite of God from his infancy, from his mother's womb until the day of his death. Judg. 13:7
And Manue said to the angel of the Lord: I beseech thee to consent to my request, and let us dress a kid for thee. Judg. 13:15
He came up, and told his father and his mother, saying: I saw a woman in Thamnatha of the daughters of the Philistines: I beseech you, take her for me to wife. Judg. 14:2
And his father and mother said to him: Is there no woman among the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou wilt take a wife of the Philistines, who are uncircumcised? And Samson said to his father: Take this woman for me; for she hath pleased my eyes. Judg. 14:3
Now his parents knew not that the thing was done by the Lord, and that he sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had dominion over Israel. Judg. 14:4
So his father went down to the woman, and made a feast for his son Samson: for so the young men used to do. Judg. 14:10
But his wife took one of his friends and bridal companions for her husband. Judg. 14:20
And Samson answered him: From this day I shall be blameless in what I do against the Philistines: for I will do you evils. Judg. 15:3
And the men of the tribe of Juda said to them: Why are you come up against us? They answered: We are come to bind Samson, and to pay him for what he hath done against us. Judg. 15:10
And being very thirsty, he cried to the Lord, and said: Thou hast given this very great deliverance and victory into the hand of thy servant: and behold I die for thirst, and shall fall into the hands of the uncircumcised. Judg. 15:18
Dalila bound him again with these, and cried out: The Philistines are upon thee, Samson, there being an ambush prepared for him in the chamber. But he broke the bands like threads of webs. Judg. 16:12
And when she pressed him much, and continually hung upon him for many days, giving him no time to rest, his soul fainted away, and was wearied even unto death. Judg. 16:16
Then opening the truth of the thing, he said to her: The razor hath never come upon my head, for I am a Nazarite, that is to say, consecrated to God from my mother's womb: If my head be shaven, my strength shall depart from me, and I shall become weak, and shall be like other men. Judg. 16:17
Then seeing that he had discovered to her all his mind, she sent to the princes of the Philistines, saying: Come up this once more, for now he hath opened his heart to me. And they went up, taking with them the money which they had promised. Judg. 16:18
But she made him sleep upon her knees, and lay his head in her bosom. And she called a barber and shaved his seven locks, and began to drive him away, and thrust him from her: for immediately his strength departed from him. Judg. 16:19
But he called upon the Lord, saying: O Lord God remember me, and restore to me now my former strength, O my God, that I may revenge myself on my enemies, and for the loss of my two eyes I may take one revenge. Judg. 16:28
Who said to his mother: The eleven hundred pieces of silver, which thou hadst put aside for thyself, and concerning which thou didst swear in my hearing, behold I have, and they are with me. And she said to him. Blessed be my son by the Lord. Judg. 17:2
And he separated also therein a little temple for the god, and made an ephod, and theraphim, that is to say, a priestly garment, and idols: and he filled the hand of one of his sons, and he became his priest. Judg. 17:5
Now he went out from the city of Bethlehem, and desired to sojourn wheresoever he should find it convenient for him. And when he was come to mount Ephraim, as he was on his journey, and had turned aside a little into the house of Michas, Judg. 17:8
And Michas filled his hand, and had the young man with him for his priest, saying: Judg. 17:12
¤ In those days there was no king in Israel, and the tribe of Dan sought them an inheritance to dwell in: for unto that day they had not received their lot among the other tribes. Judg. 18:1
He answered them: Michas hath done such and such things for me, and hath hired me to be his priest. Judg. 18:4
Arise, and let us go up to them: for we have seen the land which is exceeding rich and fruitful: neglect not, lose no time: let us go and possess it, there will be no difficulty. Judg. 18:9
There went therefore of the kindred of Dan, to wit, from Saraa and Esthaol, six hundred men, furnished with arms for war. Judg. 18:11
And they said to him: Hold thy peace, and put thy finger on thy mouth, and come with us, that we may have thee for a father, and a priest. Whether is better for thee, to be a priest in the house of one man, or in a tribe and family in Israel? Judg. 18:19
But he rising up, began to be for departing. And nevertheless his father in law earnestly pressed him, and made him stay with him. Judg. 19:7
And they turned into it to lodge there. And when they were come in, they sat in the street of the city, for no man would receive them to lodge. Judg. 19:15

And all the chiefs of the people, and all the tribes of Israel, met together in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen fit for war. Judg. 20:2
We will take ten men of a hundred out of all the tribes of Israel, and a hundred out of a thousand, and a thousand out of ten thousand, to bring victuals for the army, that we may fight against Gabaa of Benjamin, and render to it for its wickedness, what it deserveth. Judg. 20:10
And Phinees, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, was over the house. So they consulted the Lord, and said: Shall we go out any more to fight against the children of Benjamin, our brethren, or shall we cease? And the Lord said to them: Go up, for to morrow I will deliver them into your hands. Judg. 20:28
For they thought to cut them off as they did before. But they artfully feigning a flight, designed to draw them away from the city, and by their seeming to flee, to bring them to the highways aforesaid. Judg. 20:32
And when the children of Israel saw this in the battle, (for the children of Benjamin thought they fled, and pursued them vigorously, killing thirty men of their army) Judg. 20:39
And so it came to pass, that all that were slain of Benjamin, in divers places, were five and twenty thousand fighting men, most valiant for war. Judg. 20:46
Who is there among all the tribes of Israel that came not up with the army of the Lord? for they had bound themselves with a great oath, when they were in Maspha, that whosoever were wanting should be slain. Judg. 21:5
And the children of Israel being moved with repentance for their brother Benjamin, began to say: One tribe is taken away from Israel. Judg. 21:6
Whence shall they take wives? For we have all in general sworn, not to give our daughters to them. Judg. 21:7
And all Israel was very sorry, and repented for the destroying of one tribe out of Israel. Judg. 21:15
And the ancients said: What shall we do with the rest, that have not received wives? for all the women in Benjamin are dead. Judg. 21:16
For as to our own daughters we cannot give them, being bound with an oath and a curse, whereby we said: Cursed be he that shall give Benjamin any of his daughters to wife. Judg. 21:18
And when their fathers and their brethren shall come, and shall begin to complain against you, and to chide, we will say to them: Have pity on them: for they took them not away as by the right of war or conquest, but when they asked to have them, you gave them not, and the fault was committed on your part. Judg. 21:22
And the children of Benjamin did as they had been commanded: and, according to their number, they carried off for themselves every man his wife of them that were dancing: and they went into their possession, and built up their cities, and dwelt in them. Judg. 21:23
And she arose to go from the land of Moab to her own country, with both her daughters in law: for she had heard that the Lord had looked upon his people, and had given them food. Ruth 1:6
But she answered them: Return, my daughters: why come ye with me? have I any more sons in my womb, that you may hope for husbands of me? Ruth 1:11
Return again, my daughters, and go your ways: for I am now spent with age, and not fit for wedlock. Although I might conceive this night, and bear children, Ruth 1:12
If you would wait till they were grown up, and come to man's estate, you would be old women before you marry. Do not so, my daughters, I beseech you: for I am grieved the more for your distress, and the hand of the Lord is gone out against me. Ruth 1:13
She answered: Be not against me, to desire that I should leave thee and depart: for whithersoever thou shalt go, I will go: and where thou shalt dwell, I also will dwell. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. Ruth 1:16
But she said to them: Call me not Noemi (that is, beautiful,) but call me Mara (that is, bitter), for the Almighty hath quite filled me with bitterness. Ruth 1:20
And she desired leave to glean the ears of corn that remain, following the steps of the reapers: and she hath been in the field from morning till now, and hath not gone home for one moment. Ruth 2:7
And follow where they reap. For I have charged my young men, not to molest thee: and if thou art thirsty, go to the vessels, and drink of the waters whereof the servants drink. Ruth 2:9
The Lord render unto thee for thy work, and mayst thou receive a full reward of the Lord the God of Israel, to whom thou art come, and under whose wings thou art fled. Ruth 2:12
And her mother in law said to her: It is better for thee, my daughter, to go out to reap with his maids, lest in another man's field some one may resist thee. Ruth 2:22
¤ After she was returned to her mother in law, Noemi said to her: My daughter, I will seek rest for thee, and will provide that it may be well with thee. Ruth 3:1
And he said to her: Who art thou ? And she answered: I am Ruth, thy handmaid: spread thy coverlet over thy servant, for thou art a near kinsman. Ruth 3:9
Fear not therefore, but whatsoever thou shalt say to me I will do to thee. For all the people that dwell within the gates of my city, know that thou art a virtuous woman. Ruth 3:11
And she said: Behold he hath given me six measures of barley: for he said: I will not have thee return empty to thy mother in law. Ruth 3:17
And Noemi said: Wait, my daughter, till we see what end the thing will have. For the man will not rest until he have accomplished what he hath said. Ruth 3:18
¤ Then Booz went up to the gate, and sat there. And when he had seen the kinsman going by, of whom he had spoken before, he said to him, calling him by his name: Turn aside for a little while, and sit down here. He turned aside, and sat down. Ruth 4:1
I would have thee to understand this, and would tell thee before all that sit here, and before the ancients of my people. If thou wilt take possession of it by the right of kindred: buy it, and possess it: but if it please thee not, tell me so, that I may know what I have to do. For there is no near kinsman besides thee, who art first, and me, who am second. But he answered: I will buy the field. Ruth 4:4
He answered: I yield up my right of next akin: for I must not cut off the posterity of my own family. Do thou make use of my privilege, which I profess I do willingly forego. Ruth 4:6
And thou shouldst have one to comfort thy soul, and cherish thy old age. For he is born of thy daughter in law: who loveth thee: and is much better to thee, than if thou hadst seven sons. Ruth 4:15
Anna answering, said: Not so, my lord: for I am an exceeding unhappy woman, and have drunk neither wine nor any strong drink, but I have poured out my soul before the Lord. 1 Ki. 1:15
Count not thy handmaid for one of the daughters of Belial: for out of the abundance of my sorrow and grief have I spoken till now. 1 Ki. 1:16
But Anna went not up: for she said to her husband: I will not go till the child be weaned, and till I may carry him, that he may appear before the Lord, and may abide always there. 1 Ki. 1:22
For this child did I pray, and the Lord hath granted me my petition, which I asked of him. 1 Ki. 1:27
There is none holy as the Lord is: for there is no other beside thee, and there is none strong like our God. 1 Ki. 2:2
Do not multiply to speak lofty things, boasting: let old matters depart from your mouth: for the Lord is a God of all knowledge, and to him are thoughts prepared. 1 Ki. 2:3
They that were full before, have hired out themselves for bread: and the hungry are filled, so that the barren hath borne many: and she that had many children is weakened. 1 Ki. 2:5
He raiseth up the needy from the dust, and lifteth up the poor from the dunghill: that he may sit with princes, and hold the throne of glory. For the poles of the earth are the Lord's, and upon them he hath set the world. 1 Ki. 2:8

If one man shall sin against another, God may be appeased in his behalf: but if a man shall sin against the Lord, who shall pray for him? And they hearkened not to the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them. 1 Ki. 2:25
Wherefore thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I said indeed that thy house, and the house of thy father, should minister in my sight, for ever. But now saith the Lord: Far be this from me: but whosoever shall glorify me, him will I glorify: but they that despise me, shall be despised. 1 Ki. 2:30
And thou shalt see thy rival in the temple, in all the prosperity of Israel, and there shall not be an old man in thy house for ever. 1 Ki. 2:32
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall remain in thy house shall come that he may be prayed for, and shall offer a piece of silver, and a roll of bread, and shall say: Put me, I beseech thee, to somewhat of the priestly office, that I may eat a morsel of bread. 1 Ki. 2:36
And he ran to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. He said: I did not call: go back and sleep. And he went and slept. 1 Ki. 3:5
And the Lord called Samuel again. And Samuel arose and went to Heli, and said: Here am I: for thou calledst me. He answered: I did not call thee, my son: return and sleep. 1 Ki. 3:6
And said: Here am I: for thou didst call me. Then Heli understood that the Lord called the child, and he said to Samuel: Go, and sleep: and if he shall call thee any more, thou shalt say: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went, and slept in his place. 1 Ki. 3:9
And the Lord came, and stood, and he called, as he had called the other times, Samuel, Samuel. And Samuel said: Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth. 1 Ki. 3:10
For I have foretold unto him, that I will judge his house for ever, for iniquity, because he knew that his sons did wickedly, and did not chastise them. 1 Ki. 3:13
Therefore have I sworn to the house of Heli, that the iniquity of his house shall not be expiated with victims nor offerings for ever. 1 Ki. 3:14
And the Lord again appeared in Silo, for the Lord revealed himself to Samuel in Silo, according to the word of the Lord. And the word of Samuel came to pass to all Israel. 1 Ki. 3:21

And the men of Azotus seeing this kind of plague, said: The ark of the God of Israel shall not stay with us: for his hand is heavy upon us, and upon Dagon, our god. 1 Ki. 5:7

And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying: What shall we do with the ark of the Lord? tell us how we are to send it back to its place. And they said: 1 Ki. 6:2

They answered: What is it we ought to render unto him for sin? and they answered: 1 Ki. 6:4
According to the number of the provinces of the Philistines you shall make five golden emerods, and five golden mice: for the same plague hath been upon you all, and upon your lords. And you shall make the likeness of your emerods, and the likeness of the mice, that have destroyed the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel: to see if he will take off his hand from you, and from your gods, and from your land. 1 Ki. 6:5
And you shall take the ark of the Lord, and lay it on the cart, and the vessels of gold, which you have paid him for sin, you shall put into a little box at the side thereof: and send it away, that it may go. 1 Ki. 6:8

And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it whole for a holocaust to the Lord: and Samuel cried to the Lord for Israel, and the Lord heard him. 1 Ki. 7:9
And he returned to Ramatha: for there was his house, and there he judged Israel: he built also there an altar to the Lord. 1 Ki. 7:17
And the Lord said to Samuel: Hearken to the voice of the people in all that they say to thee. For they have not rejected thee, but me, that I should not reign over them. 1 Ki. 8:7
And we also will be like all nations: and our king shall judge us, and go out before us, and fight our battles for us. 1 Ki. 8:20
And when they were come to the land of Suph, Saul said to the servant that was with him: Come, let us return, lest perhaps my father forget the asses, and be concerned for us. 1 Ki. 9:5
And he said to him: Behold there is a man of God in this city, a famous man: all that he saith, cometh certainly to pass. Now, therefore, let us go thither, perhaps he may tell us of our way, for which we are come. 1 Ki. 9:6
Now in time past in Israel, when a man went to consult God, he spoke thus: Come, let us go to the seer. For he that is now called a prophet, in time past was called a seer. 1 Ki. 9:9
They answered and said to them: He is: behold he is before you, make haste now: for he came to day into the city, for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place. 1 Ki. 9:12
As soon as you come into the city, you shall immediately find him, before he go up to the high place to eat: for the people will not eat till he come; because he blesseth the victim, and afterwards they eat that are invited. Now, therefore, go up, for to day you shall find him. 1 Ki. 9:13
To morrow about this same hour I will send thee a man of the land of Benjamin, and thou shalt anoint him to be ruler over my people Israel: and he shall save my people out of the hand of the Philistines: for I have looked down upon my people, because their cry is come to me. 1 Ki. 9:16
And as for the asses, which were lost three days ago, be not solicitous, because they are found. And for whom shall be all the best things of Israel? Shall they not be for thee and for all thy father's house? 1 Ki. 9:20
Then Samuel taking Saul, and his servant, brought them into the parlour, and gave them a place at the head of them that were invited. For there were about thirty men. 1 Ki. 9:22
And the cook took up the shoulder, and set it before Saul. And Samuel said: Behold what is left, set it before thee, and eat; because it was kept of purpose for thee, when I invited the people. And Saul ate with Samuel that day. 1 Ki. 9:24
And they went down from the high place into the town, and he spoke with Saul upon the top of the house: and he prepared a bed for Saul on the top of the house and he slept. 1 Ki. 9:25
When thou shalt depart from me this day, thou shalt find two men by the sepulchre of Rachel in the borders of Benjamin to the south, and they shall say to thee: The asses are found which thou wentest to seek: and thy father, thinking no more of the asses, is concerned for you, and saith: What shall I do for my son? 1 Ki. 10:2
When therefore these signs shall happen to thee, do whatsoever thy hand shall find, for the Lord is with thee. 1 Ki. 10:7
And thou shalt go down before me to Galgal, (for I will come down to thee), that thou mayst offer an oblation, and sacrifice victims of peace: seven days shalt thou wait, till I come to thee, and I will shew thee what thou art to do. 1 Ki. 10:8
And all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel. And all the people said to Samuel: Pray for thy servants to the Lord thy God, that we may not die, for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for a king. 1 Ki. 12:19
And the Lord will not forsake his people for his great name's sake: because the Lord hath sworn to make you his people. 1 Ki. 12:22
And far from me be this sin against the Lord, that I should cease to pray for you: and I will teach you the good and right way. 1 Ki. 12:23
Therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in truth, and with your whole heart, for you have seen the great works which he hath done among you. 1 Ki. 12:24
The Philistines also were assembled to fight against Israel, thirty thousand chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and a multitude of people besides, like the sand on the seashore for number. And going up they camped in Machmas, at the east of Bethaven. 1 Ki. 13:5
And when the men of Israel saw that they were straitened (for the people were distressed), they hid themselves in caves, and in thickets, and in rocks, and in dens, and in pits. 1 Ki. 13:6
And Samuel said to Saul: Thou hast done foolishly, and hast not kept the commandments of the Lord thy God, which he commanded thee. And if thou hadst not done thus, the Lord would now have established thy kingdom over Israel for ever: 1 Ki. 13:13
Now there was no smith to be found in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines had taken this precaution, lest the Hebrews should make them swords or spears. 1 Ki. 13:19
And Jonathan said to the young man that bore his armour: Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised, it may be the Lord will do for us: because it is easy for the Lord to save either by many, or by few. 1 Ki. 14:6
And the men of the garrison spoke to Jonathan, and to his armourbearer, and said: Come up to us, and we will shew you a thing. And Jonathan said to his armourbearer: Let us go up, follow me: for the Lord hath delivered them into the hands of Israel. 1 Ki. 14:12
And Saul said to Achias: Bring the ark of the Lord. (For the ark of God was there that day with the children of Israel.) 1 Ki. 14:18
And when the people came into the forest, behold the honey dropped, but no man put his hand to his mouth. For the people feared the oath. 1 Ki. 14:26
And Saul said: May God do so and so to me, and add still more: for dying thou shalt die, O Jonathan. 1 Ki. 14:44
And the people said to Saul: Shall Jonathan then die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? this must not be: As the Lord liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground, for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people delivered Jonathan, that he should not die. 1 Ki. 14:45
For Cis was the father of Saul, and Ner, the father of Abner, was son of Abiel. 1 Ki. 14:51
And there was a great war against the Philistines all the days of Saul. For whomsoever Saul saw to be a valiant man, and fit for war, he took him to himself. 1 Ki. 14:52
And Saul said to the Cinite: Go, depart, and get ye down from Amalec: lest I destroy thee with him. For thou hast shewn kindness to all the children of Israel, when they came up out of Egypt. And the Cinite departed from the midst of Amalec. 1 Ki. 15:6
And Saul and the people spared Agag, and the best of the flocks of sheep, and of the herds, and the garments and the rams, and all that was beautiful, and would not destroy them: but every thing that was vile, and good for nothing, that they destroyed. 1 Ki. 15:9
It repenteth me that I have made Saul king: for he hath forsaken me, and hath not executed my commandments. And Samuel was grieved, and he cried unto the Lord all night. 1 Ki. 15:11
And when Samuel rose early, to go to Saul in the morning, it was told Samuel that Saul was come to Carmel, and had erected for himself a triumphant arch, and returning had passed on, and gone down to Galgal. And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul was offering a holocaust to the Lord, out of the choicest of the spoils, which he had brought from Amalec. 1 Ki. 15:12
And Saul said: They have brought them from Amalec: for the people spared the best of the sheep and of the herds, that they might be sacrificed to the Lord thy God, but the rest we have slain. 1 Ki. 15:15
And Samuel said: Doth the Lord desire holocausts and victims, and not rather that the voice of the Lord should be obeyed? For obedience is better than sacrifices: and to hearken rather than to offer the fat of rams. 1 Ki. 15:22
But the triumpher in Israel will not spare, and will not be moved to repentance: for he is not a man that he should repent. 1 Ki. 15:29
And Samuel saw Saul no more till the day of his death: nevertheless, Samuel mourned for Saul, because the Lord repented that he had made him king over Israel. 1 Ki. 15:35
¤ And the Lord said to Samuel: How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, whom I have rejected from reigning over Israel? fill thy horn with oil, and come, that I may send thee to Isai, the Bethlehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons. 1 Ki. 16:1
And Samuel said: How shall I go? for Saul will hear of it, and he will kill me. And the Lord said: Thou shalt take with thee a calf of the herd, and thou shalt say: I am come to sacrifice to the Lord. 1 Ki. 16:2
And the Lord said to Samuel: Look not on his countenance, nor on the height of his stature: because I have rejected him, nor do I judge according to the look of man: for man seeth those things that appear, but the Lord beholdeth the heart. 1 Ki. 16:7
And Samuel said to Isai: Are here all thy sons? He answered: There remaineth yet a young one, who keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said to Isai: Send, and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. 1 Ki. 16:11
He sent therefore and brought him. Now he was ruddy and beautiful to behold, and of a comely face. And the Lord said: Arise, and anoint him, for this is he. 1 Ki. 16:12
And one of the servants answering, said: Behold I have seen a son of Isai, the Bethlehemite, a skilful player, and one of great strength, and a man fit for war, and prudent in his words, and a comely person: and the Lord is with him. 1 Ki. 16:18
And Saul sent to Isai, saying: Let David stand before me: for he hath found favour in my sight. 1 Ki. 16:22
So whensoever the evil spirit from the Lord was upon Saul, David took his harp, and played with his hand, and Saul was refreshed, and was better, for the evil spirit departed from him. 1 Ki. 16:23
And Isai said to David, his son: Take for thy brethren an ephi of frumenty, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren, 1 Ki. 17:17
David, therefore, arose in the morning, and gave the charge of the flock to the keeper: and went away loaded, as Isai had commanded him. And he came to the place of Magala, and to the army, which was going out to fight, and shouted for the battle. 1 Ki. 17:20
For Israel had put themselves in array, and the Philistines who stood against them were prepared. 1 Ki. 17:21
And some one of Israel said: Have you seen this man that is come up, for he is come up to defy Israel. And the man that shall slay him, the king will enrich with great riches, and will give him his daughter, and will make his father's house free from tribute in Israel. 1 Ki. 17:25
And David spoke to the men that stood by him, saying: What shall be given to the man that shall kill this Philistine, and shall take away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God? 1 Ki. 17:26
And Saul said to David: Thou art not able to withstand this Philistine, nor to fight against him: for thou art but a boy, but he is a warrior from his youth. 1 Ki. 17:33
For I thy servant have killed both a lion and a bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be also as one of them. I will go now, and take away the reproach of the people: for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, who hath dared to curse the army of the living God? 1 Ki. 17:36
And David having girded his sword upon his armour, began to try if he could walk in armour: for he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: I cannot go thus, for I am not used to it. And he laid them off, 1 Ki. 17:39
And when the Philistine looked, and beheld David, he despised him. For he was a young man, ruddy, and of a comely countenance. 1 Ki. 17:42
And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for it is his battle, and he will deliver you into our hands. 1 Ki. 17:47
And David and Jonathan made a covenant, for he loved him as his own soul. 1 Ki. 18:3
But all Israel and Juda loved David, for he came in and went out before them. 1 Ki. 18:16
And he put his life in his hand, and slew the Philistine, and the Lord wrought great salvation for all Israel. Thou sawest it and didst rejoice. Why therefore wilt thou sin against innocent blood, by killing David, who is without fault? 1 Ki. 19:5
And he said to him: (God forbid, thou shalt not die: for my father will do nothing, great or little, without first telling me: hath then my father hid this word only from me? no, this shall not be. 1 Ki. 20:2
And Jonathan said to David: Whatsoever thy soul shall say to me, I will do for thee. 1 Ki. 20:4
If thy father look and inquire for me, thou shalt answer him: David asked me that he might run to Bethlehem, his own city: because there are solemn sacrifices there for all of his tribe. 1 Ki. 20:6
Deal mercifully then with thy servant: for thou hast brought me, thy servant, into a covenant of the Lord with thee. But if there be any iniquity in me, do thou kill me, and bring me not in to thy father. 1 Ki. 20:8
And Jonathan said: Far be this from thee: for if I should certainly know that evil is determined by my father against thee, I could do no otherwise than tell thee. 1 Ki. 20:9
Jonathan said to David: O Lord God of Israel, if I shall discover my father's mind, to morrow, or the day after, and there be any thing good for David, and I send not immediately to thee, and make it known to thee, 1 Ki. 20:12
Thou shalt not take away thy kindness from my house for ever, when the Lord shall have rooted out the enemies of David, every one of them from the earth, may he take away Jonathan from his house, and may the Lord require it at the hands of David's enemies. 1 Ki. 20:15
And Jonathan swore again to David, because he loved him: for he loved him as his own soul. 1 Ki. 20:17
For thy seat will be empty till after to morrow. So thou shalt go down quickly, and come to the place where thou must be hid, on the day when it is lawful to work, and thou shalt remain beside the stone, which is called Ezel. 1 Ki. 20:19
If I shall say to the boy: Behold the arrows are on this side of thee, take them up: come thou to me, because there is peace to thee, and there is no evil, as the Lord liveth. But if I shall speak thus to the boy: Behold the arrows are beyond thee: go in peace, for the Lord hath sent thee away. 1 Ki. 20:22
And Saul said nothing that day, for he thought it might have happened to him, that he was not clean, nor purified. 1 Ki. 20:26
And he said: Let me go, for there is a solemn sacrifice in the city, one of my brethren hath sent for me: and now if I have found favour in thy eyes, I will go quickly, and see my brethren. For this cause he came not to the king's table. 1 Ki. 20:29
For as long as the son of Isai liveth upon earth, thou shalt not be established, nor thy kingdom. Therefore now presently send, and fetch him to me: for he is the son of death. 1 Ki. 20:31
So Jonathan rose from the table in great anger, and did not eat bread on the second day after the new moon. For he was grieved for David, because his father had put him to confusion. 1 Ki. 20:34
And he knew not at all what was doing: for only Jonathan and David knew the matter. 1 Ki. 20:39
And Jonathan said to David: Go in peace: and let all stand that we have sworn both of us in the name of the Lord, saying: The Lord be between me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for ever. And David arose, and departed: and Jonathan went into the city. 1 Ki. 20:42
And David said to Achimelech, the priest: The king hath commanded me a business, and said: Let no man know the thing for which thou art sent by me, and what manner of commands I have given thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place. 1 Ki. 21:2
The priest therefore gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there, but only the loaves of proposition, which had been taken away from before the face of the Lord, that hot loaves might be set up. 1 Ki. 21:6
And David said to Achimelech: Hast thou here at hand a spear, or a sword? for I brought not my own sword, nor my own weapons with me, for the king's business required haste. 1 Ki. 21:8
And the priest said: Lo, here is the sword of Goliath, the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Terebinth, wrapped up in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take this, take it, for here there is no other but this. And David said: There is none like that, give it me. 1 Ki. 21:9
And David departed from thence into Maspha of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab: Let my father and my mother tarry with you, I beseech thee, till I know what God will do for me. 1 Ki. 22:3
And he consulted the Lord for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath, the Philistine. 1 Ki. 22:10
Then the king sent to call for Achimelech, the priest, the son of Achitob, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nobe, and they came all of them to the king. 1 Ki. 22:11
And Saul said to him: Why have you conspired against me, thou, and the son of Isai, and thou hast given him bread and a sword, and hast consulted the Lord for him, that he should rise up against me, continuing a traitor to this day. 1 Ki. 22:13
Did I begin to day to consult the Lord for him? far be this from me: let not the king suspect such a thing against his servant, or any one in all my father's house: for thy servant knew nothing of this matter, either little or great. 1 Ki. 22:15
And the king said to the messengers that stood about him: Turn, and kill the priests of the Lord, for their hand is with David, because they knew that he was fled, and they told it not to me. And the king's servants would not put forth their hands against the priests of the Lord. 1 Ki. 22:17
Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life, seeketh thy life also, and with me thou shalt be saved. 1 Ki. 22:23
Therefore David consulted the Lord again. And he answered and said to him: Arise, and go to Ceila: for I will deliver the Philistines into thy hand. 1 Ki. 23:4
And David said: O Lord God of Israel, thy servant hath heard a report, that Saul designeth to come to Ceila, to destroy the city for my sake: 1 Ki. 23:10
Fear not: for the hand of my father, Saul, shall not find thee, and thou shalt reign over Israel, and I shall be next to thee; yea and my father knoweth this. 1 Ki. 23:17
And Saul said: Blessed be ye of the Lord, for you have pitied my case. 1 Ki. 23:21
Go, therefore, I pray you, and use all diligence, and curiously inquire, and consider the place where his foot is, and who hath seen him there: for he thinketh of me, that I lie craftily in wait for him. 1 Ki. 23:22
And a messenger came to Saul, saying: Make haste to come, for the Philistines have poured in themselves upon the land. 1 Ki. 23:27
Wherefore Saul returned, leaving the pursuit of David, and went to meet the Philistines. For this cause they called that place the rock of division. 1 Ki. 23:28
Behold this day thy eyes have seen, that the Lord hath delivered thee into my hand, in the cave, and I had a thought to kill thee, but my eye hath spared thee. For I said: I will not put out my hand against my lord, because he is the Lord's anointed. 1 Ki. 24:10
Moreover, see and know, O my father, the hem of thy robe in my hand, that when I cut off the hem of thy robe, I would not put out my hand against thee. Reflect, and see, that there is no evil in my hand, nor iniquity, neither have I sinned against thee: but thou liest in wait for my life, to take it away. 1 Ki. 24:11
And he said to David: Thou art more just than I: for thou hast done good to me, and I have rewarded thee with evil. 1 Ki. 24:17
For who when he hath found his enemy, will let him go well away? But the Lord reward thee for this good turn, for what thou hast done to me this day. 1 Ki. 24:19
¤ And Samuel died, and all Israel was gathered together, and they mourned for him, and buried him in his house in Ramatha. And David rose, and went down into the wilderness of Pharan. 1 Ki. 25:1
Ask thy servants, and they will tell thee. Now therefore let thy servants find favour in thy eyes: for we are come in a good day, whatsoever thy hand shall find give to thy servants, and to thy son David. 1 Ki. 25:8
Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and the flesh of my cattle, which I have killed for my shearers, and give to men whom I know not whence they are? 1 Ki. 25:11
Wherefore consider, and think what thou hast to do: for evil is determined against thy husband, and against thy house, and he is a son of Belial, so that no man can speak to him. 1 Ki. 25:17
And David said: Truly in vain have I kept all that belonged to this fellow in the wilderness, and nothing was lost of all that pertained unto him: and he hath returned me evil for good. 1 Ki. 25:21
Let not my lord the king, I pray thee, regard this naughty man, Nabal: for according to his name, he is a fool, and folly is with him: but I, thy handmaid, did not see thy servants, my lord, whom thou sentest. 1 Ki. 25:25
Forgive the iniquity of thy handmaid: for the Lord will surely make for my lord a faithful house, because thou, my lord, fightest the battles of the Lord: let not evil therefore be found in thee all the days of thy life. 1 Ki. 25:28
For if a man at any time shall rise, and persecute thee, and seek thy life, the soul of my lord shall be kept, as in the bundle of the living, with the Lord thy God: but the souls of thy enemies shall be whirled, as with the violence and whirling of a sling. 1 Ki. 25:29
And Abigail came to Nabal: and behold he had a feast in his house, like the feast of a king: and Nabal's heart was merry, for he was very drunk: and she told him nothing less or more until morning. 1 Ki. 25:36
And when David had heard that Nabal was dead, he said: Blessed be the Lord, who hath judged the cause of my reproach, at the hand of Nabal, and hath kept his servant from evil, and the Lord hath returned the wickedness of Nabal upon his head. Then David sent and treated with Abigail, that he might take her to himself for a wife. 1 Ki. 25:39
And David's servants came to Abigail, to Carmel, and spoke to her, saying: David hath sent us to thee, to take thee to himself for a wife. 1 Ki. 25:40
And David said to Abisai: Kill him not: for who shall put forth his hand against the Lord's anointed, and shall be guiltless? 1 Ki. 26:9
So David took the spear, and the cup of water which was at Saul's head, and they went away: and no man saw it, or knew it, or awaked, but they were all asleep, for a deep sleep from the Lord was fallen upon them. 1 Ki. 26:12
And David said to Abner: Art not thou a man? and who is like unto thee in Israel? why then hast thou not kept thy lord the king? for there came one of the people in to kill the king thy lord. 1 Ki. 26:15
And now let not my blood be shed upon the earth before the Lord: for the king of Israel is come out to seek a flea, as the partridge is hunted in the mountains. 1 Ki. 26:20
And Saul said: I have sinned; return, my son David, for I will no more do thee harm, because my life hath been precious in thy eyes this day: for it appeareth that I have done foolishly, and have been ignorant in very many things. 1 Ki. 26:21
And the Lord will reward every one according to his justice, and his faithfulness: for the Lord hath delivered thee this day into my hand, and I would not put forth my hand against the Lord's anointed. 1 Ki. 26:23
¤ And David said in his heart: I shall one day or other fall into the hands of Saul: is it not better for me to flee, and to be saved in the land of the Philistines, that Saul may despair of me, and cease to seek me in all the coasts of Israel? I will flee then out of his hands. 1 Ki. 27:1
And David said to Achis: If I have found favour in thy sight, let a place be given me in one of the cities of this country, that I may dwell there: for why should thy servant dwell in the royal city with thee? 1 Ki. 27:5
Then Achis gave him Siceleg that day: for which reason Siceleg belongeth to the kings of Juda unto this day. 1 Ki. 27:6
And David and his men went up, and pillaged Gessuri, and Gerzi, and the Amalecites: for these were of old the inhabitants of the countries, as men go to Sur, even to the land of Egypt. 1 Ki. 27:8
And Achis believed David, saying: He hath done much harm to his people Israel: Therefore he shall be my servant for ever. 1 Ki. 27:12
¤ And it came to pass in those days, that the Philistines gathered together their armies, to be prepared for war against Israel: And Achis said to David: Know thou now assuredly, that thou shalt go out with me to the war, thou, and thy men. 1 Ki. 28:1
And David said to Achis: Now thou shalt know what thy servant will do. And Achis said to David: And I will appoint thee to guard my life for ever. 1 Ki. 28:2
Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel mourned for him, and buried him in Ramatha, his city. And Saul had put away all the magicians and soothsayers out of the land. 1 Ki. 28:3
And the woman said to him: Behold thou knowest all that Saul hath done, and how he hath rooted out the magicians and soothsayers from the land: why then dost thou lay a snare for my life, to cause me to be put to death? 1 Ki. 28:9
And Saul swore unto her by the Lord, saying: As the Lord liveth, there shall no evil happen to thee for this thing. 1 Ki. 28:10
And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice, and said to Saul: Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul. 1 Ki. 28:12
And Samuel said to Saul: Why hast thou disturbed my rest, that I should be brought up? And Saul said: I am in great distress: for the Philistines fight against me, and God is departed from me, and would not hear me, neither by the hand of prophets, nor by dreams: therefore I have called thee, that thou mayst shew me what I shall do. 1 Ki. 28:15
For the Lord will do to thee as he spoke by me, and he will rend thy kingdom out of thy hand, and will give it to thy neighbour David: 1 Ki. 28:17
And forthwith Saul fell all along on the ground; for he was frightened with the words of Samuel, and there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no bread all that day. 1 Ki. 28:20
And the woman came to Saul, (for he was very much troubled) and said to him: Behold thy handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and I have put my life in my hand: and I hearkened unto the words which thou spokest to me. 1 Ki. 28:21
But the princes of the Philistines were angry with him, and they said to him: Let this man return, and abide in his place, which thou hast appointed him, and let him not go down with us to battle, lest he be an adversary to us, when we shall begin to fight: for how can he otherwise appease his master, but with our heads? 1 Ki. 29:4
For the two wives also of David were taken captives, Achinoam, the Jezrahelitess, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel. 1 Ki. 30:5
And David was greatly afflicted: for the people had a mind to stone him, for the soul of every man was bitterly grieved for his sons and daughters: but David took courage in the Lord his God. 1 Ki. 30:6
And David consulted the Lord, saying: Shall I pursue after these robbers, and shall I overtake them, or not? And the Lord said to him: Pursue after them: for thou shalt surely overtake them and recover the prey. 1 Ki. 30:8
But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred stayed, who, being weary, could not go over the torrent Besor. 1 Ki. 30:10
As also a piece of a cake of figs, and two bunches of raisins. And when he had eaten them, his spirit returned, and he was refreshed: for he had not eaten bread, nor drunk water, three days and three nights. 1 Ki. 30:12
For we made an invasion on the south side of Cerethi, and upon Juda, and upon the south of Caleb, and we burnt Siceleg with fire. 1 Ki. 30:14
And when he had brought him, behold they were lying spread abroad upon all the ground, eating and drinking, and as it were keeping a festival day, for all the prey and the spoils which they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Juda. 1 Ki. 30:16
Then Saul said to his armourbearer: Draw thy sword, and kill me: lest these uncircumcised come, and slay me, and mock at me. And his armourbearer would not: for he was struck with exceeding great fear. Then Saul took his sword, and fell upon it. 1 Ki. 31:4
And he said to me: Stand over me, and kill me: for anguish is come upon me, and as yet my whole life is in me. 2 Ki. 1:9

And Absalom had commanded his servants, saying: Take notice when Ammon shall be drunk with wine, and when I shall say to you: Strike him, and kill him, fear not: for it is I that command you: take courage, and be valiant men. 2 Ki. 13:28

And behold the whole kindred rising against thy handmaid, saith: Deliver him that hath slain his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother, whom he slew, and that we may destroy the heir: and they seek to quench my spark which is left, and will leave my husband no name, nor remainder upon the earth. 2 Ki. 14:7
Then let thy handmaid say, that the word of the Lord the king be made as a sacrifice. For even as an angel of God, so is my lord the king, that he is neither moved with blessing nor cursing: wherefore the Lord thy God is also with thee. 2 Ki. 14:17
And the king said: Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this? The woman answered, and said: By the health of thy soul, my lord, O king, it is neither on the left hand, nor on the right, in all these things which my lord the king hath spoken: for thy servant Joab, he commanded me, and he put all these words into the mouth of thy handmaid. 2 Ki. 14:19
And Joab falling down to the ground upon his face, adored, and blessed the king: and Joab said: This day thy servant hath understood, that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king: for thou hast fulfilled the request of thy servant. 2 Ki. 14:22
And Absalom answered Joab: I sent to thee beseeching thee to come to me, that I might send thee to the king, to say to him: Wherefore am I come from Gessur? it had been better for me to be there: I beseech thee therefore that I may see the face of the king: and if he be mindful of my iniquity, let him kill me. 2 Ki. 14:32

Absalom also sent for Achitophel the Gilonite, David's counsellor, from his city Gilo. And while he was offering sacrifices, there was a strong conspiracy, and the people running together increased with Absalom. 2 Ki. 15:12
And David said to his servants, that were with him in Jerusalem: Arise and let us flee: for we shall not escape else from the face of Absalom: make haste to go out, lest he come and overtake us, and bring ruin upon us, and smite the city with the edge of the sword. 2 Ki. 15:14
And the king said to Ethai the Gethite: Why comest thou with us: return and dwell with the king, for thou art a stranger, and art come out of thy own place. 2 Ki. 15:19
And the king said to Siba: What mean these things? And Siba answered: The asses are for the king's household to sit on: and the loaves and the figs for thy servants to eat, and the wine to drink if any man be faint in the desert. 2 Ki. 16:2
The Lord hath repaid thee for all the blood of the house of Saul: because thou hast usurped the kingdom in his stead, and the Lord hath given the kingdom into the hand of Absalom thy son: and behold thy evils press upon thee, because thou art a man of blood. 2 Ki. 16:8
And the king said: What have I to do with you, ye sons of Sarvia? Let him alone and let him curse: for the Lord hath bid him curse David: and who is he that shall dare say, why hath he done so? 2 Ki. 16:10
Perhaps the Lord may look upon my affliction, and the Lord may render me good for the cursing of this day. 2 Ki. 16:12
And Chusai answered Absalom: Nay: for I will be his, whom the Lord hath chosen, and all this people, and all Israel, and with him will I abide. 2 Ki. 16:18
So they spread a tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and he went in to his father's concubines before all Israel. 2 Ki. 16:22
And coming upon him (for he is now weary, and weak handed) I will defeat him: and when all the people is put to flight that is with him, I will kill the king who will be left alone. 2 Ki. 17:2
And I will bring back all the people, as if they were but one man: for thou seekest but one man: and all the people shall be in peace. 2 Ki. 17:3
And the most valiant man whose heart is as the heart of a lion, shall melt for fear: for all the people of Israel know thy father to be a valiant man, and that all who are with him are valiant. 2 Ki. 17:10
And Jonathan and Achimaas stayed by the fountain Rogel: and there went a maid and told them: and they went forward, to carry the message to king David, for they might not be seen, nor enter into the city. 2 Ki. 17:17

And honey, and butter, and sheep, and fat calves, and they gave to David and the people that were with him, to eat: for they suspected that the people were faint with hunger and thirst in the wilderness. 2 Ki. 17:29
And the people answered: Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not much mind us: or if half of us should fall, they will not greatly care: for thou alone art accounted for ten thousand: it is better therefore that thou shouldst be in the city to succour us. 2 Ki. 18:3
And he said to Joab: If thou wouldst have paid down in my hands a thousand pieces of silver, I would not lay my hands upon the king's son for in our hearing the king charged thee, and Abisai, and Ethai, saying: Save me the boy Absalom. 2 Ki. 18:12
And Joab said: Not as thou wilt, but I will set upon him in thy sight. So he took three lances in his hand, and thrust them into the heart of Absalom: and whilst he yet panted for life, sticking on the oak, 2 Ki. 18:14
Now Absalom had reared up for himself, in his lifetime, a pillar, which is in the king's valley: for he said: I have no son, and this shall be the monument of my name. And he called the pillar by his own name, and it is called the hand of Absalom, to this day. 2 Ki. 18:18
And Achimaas the son of Sadoc said: I will run and tell the king, that the Lord hath done judgment for him from the hand of his enemies. 2 Ki. 18:19

The king therefore being much moved, went up to the high chamber over the gate, and wept. And as he went he spoke in this manner: My son Absalom, Absalom my son: would to God that I might die for thee, Absalom my son, my son Absalom. 2 Ki. 18:33
¤ And it was told Joab, that the king wept and mourned for his son: 2 Ki. 19:1
And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day: The king grieveth for his son. 2 Ki. 19:2
Thou lovest them that hate thee, and thou hatest them that love thee: and thou hast shewn this day that thou carest not for thy nobles, nor for thy servants: and I now plainly perceive that if Absalom had lived, and all we had been slain, then it would have pleased thee. 2 Ki. 19:6
Now therefore arise, and go out, and speak to the satisfaction of thy servants: for I swear to thee by the Lord, that if thou wilt not go forth, there will not tarry with thee so much as one this night: and that will be worse to thee, than all the evils that have befallen thee from thy youth until now. 2 Ki. 19:7
And all the people were at strife in all the tribes of Israel, saying: The king delivered us out of the hand of our enemies, and he saved us out of the hand of the Philistines: and now he is fled out of the land for Absalom. 2 Ki. 19:9
And king David sent to Sadoc, and Abiathar the priests, saying: Speak to the ancients of Juda, saying: Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house? (For the talk of all Israel was come to the king in his house.) 2 Ki. 19:11
For I thy servant acknowledge my sin: and therefore I am come this day the first of all the house of Joseph, and am come down to meet my lord the king. 2 Ki. 19:20
But Abisai the son of Sarvia answering, said: Shall Semei for these words not be put to death, because he cursed the Lord's anointed? 2 Ki. 19:21
And he answering, said: My lord, O king, my servant despised me: for I thy servant spoke to him to saddle me an ass, that I might get on and go with the king: for I thy servant am lame. 2 Ki. 19:26
For all of my father's house were no better than worthy of death before my lord the king; and thou hast set me thy servant among the guests of thy table: what just complaint therefore have I? or what right to cry any more to the king? 2 Ki. 19:28
Now Berzellai the Galaadite was of a great age, that is to say, fourscore years old, and he provided the king with sustenance when he abode in the camp: for he was a man exceeding rich. 2 Ki. 19:32
Then the king said to him: Let Chamaam go over with me, and I will do for him whatsoever shall please thee, and all that thou shalt ask of me, thou shalt obtain. 2 Ki. 19:38
And all the men of Juda answered the men of Israel: Because the king is nearer to me: why art thou angry for this matter? have we eaten any thing of the king's, or have any gifts been given us? 2 Ki. 19:42
¤ And there was a famine in the days of David for three years successively: and David consulted the oracle of the Lord. And the Lord said: It is for Saul, and his bloody house, because he slew the Gabaonites. 2 Ki. 21:1
Then the king, calling for the Gabaonites, said to them: (Now the Gabaonites were not of the children of Israel, but the remains of the Amorrhites: and the children of Israel had sworn to them, and Saul sought to slay them out of zeal, as it were for the children of Israel and Juda:) 2 Ki. 21:2
David therefore said to the Gabaonites: What shall I do for you? and what shall be the atonement for you, that you may bless the inheritance of the Lord? 2 Ki. 21:3
And the Gabaonites said to him: We have no contest about silver and gold, but against Saul and against his house: neither do we desire that any man be slain of Israel. And the king said to them: What will you then that I should do for you? 2 Ki. 21:4
For the pangs of death have surrounded me: the floods of Belial have made me afraid. 2 Ki. 22:5
He delivered me from my most mighty enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me. 2 Ki. 22:18
For all his judgments are in my sight: and his precepts I have not removed from me. 2 Ki. 22:23
For thou art my lamp O Lord: and thou, O Lord, wilt enlighten my darkness. 2 Ki. 22:29
For in thee I will run girded: in my God I will leap over the wall. 2 Ki. 22:30
Giving great salvation to his king, and shewing mercy to David his anointed, and to his seed for ever. 2 Ki. 22:51
Neither is my house so great with God, that he should make with me an eternal covenant, firm in all things and assured. For he is all my salvation, and all my will: neither is there ought thereof that springeth not up. 2 Ki. 23:5
And after him was Semma the son of Age of Arari. And the Philistines were gathered together in a troop: for there was a field full of lentils. And when the people were fled from the face of the Philistines, 2 Ki. 23:11
And when Gad was come to David, he told him, saying: Either seven years of famine shall come to thee in thy land: or thou shalt flee three months before thy adversaries, and they shall pursue thee: or for three days there shall be a pestilence in thy land. Now therefore deliberate, and see what answer I shall return to him that sent me. 2 Ki. 24:13
And David said to Gad: I am in a great strait: but it is better that I should fall into the hands of the Lord (for his mercies are many) than into the hands of men. 2 Ki. 24:14
And Areuna said to David: Let my lord the king take, and offer, as it seemeth good to him: thou hast here oxen for a holocaust, and the wain, and the yokes of the oxen for wood. 2 Ki. 24:22
And the king answered him, and said: Nay, but I will buy it of thee, at a price, and I will not offer to the Lord my God holocausts free cost. So David bought the floor, and the oxen, for fifty sicles of silver: 2 Ki. 24:24
His servants therefore, said to him: Let us seek for our Lord the king, a young virgin, and let her stand before the king, and cherish him, and sleep in his bosom and warm our lord the king. 3 Ki. 1:2
And Bethsabee, bowing with her face to the earth, worshipped the king, saying: May my lord David live for ever. 3 Ki. 1:31
And Jonathan answered Adonias: Not so: for our lord, king David, hath appointed Solomon king; 3 Ki. 1:43
But shew kindness to the sons of Berzellai, the Galaadite, and let them eat at thy table: for they met me when I fled from the face of Absalom, thy brother. 3 Ki. 2:7
Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had preferred me to be their king: but the kingdom is transferred, and is become my brother's: for it was appointed him by the Lord. 3 Ki. 2:15
And he said I pray thee speak to king Solomon (for he cannot deny thee any thing) to give me Abisag, the Sunamitess, to wife. 3 Ki. 2:17
And Bethsabee said: Well, I will speak for thee to the king. 3 Ki. 2:18
Then Bethsabee came to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonias: and the king arose to meet her, and bowed to her, and sat down upon his throne: and a throne was set for the king's mother, and she sat on his right hand. 3 Ki. 2:19
And she said to him: I desire one small petition of thee; do not put me to confusion. And the king said to her: My mother ask, for I must not turn away thy face. 3 Ki. 2:20
And king Solomon answered, and said to his mother: Why dost thou ask Abisag, the Sunamitess, for Adonias? ask for him also the kingdom; for he is my elder brother, and hath Abiathar, the priest, and Joab, the son of Sarvia. 3 Ki. 2:22
And the king said also to Abiathar, the priest: Go to Anathoth, to thy lands, for indeed thou art worthy of death: but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst carry the ark of the Lord God before David, my father, and hast endured trouble in all the troubles my father endured. 3 Ki. 2:26
And their blood shall return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever. But to David and his seed, and his house, and to his throne, be peace for ever from the Lord. 3 Ki. 2:33
The king also sent, and called for Semei, and said to him: Build thee a house in Jerusalem, and dwell there: and go not out from thence any where. 3 Ki. 2:36
For on what day soever thou shalt go out, and shalt pass over the brook Cedron, know that thou shalt be put to death: thy blood shall be upon thy own head. 3 Ki. 2:37
And sending he called for him, and said to him: Did I not protest to thee by the Lord, and tell thee before: On what day soever thou shalt go out and walk abroad any where, know that thou shalt die? And thou answeredst me: The word that I have heard is good. 3 Ki. 2:42
And king Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before the Lord for ever. 3 Ki. 2:45
¤ And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon, and he made affinity with Pharao, the king of Egypt: for he took his daughter, and brought her into the city of David: until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about. 3 Ki. 3:1
But yet the people sacrificed in the high places: for there was no temple built to the name of the Lord until that day. 3 Ki. 3:2
He went therefore to Gabaon, to sacrifice there: for that was the great high place: a thousand victims for holocausts, did Solomon offer upon that altar, in Gabaon. 3 Ki. 3:4
And Solomon said: Thou hast shewed great mercy to thy servant David, my father, even as he walked before thee in truth, and justice, and an upright heart with thee: and thou hast kept thy great mercy for him, and hast given him a son to sit on his throne, as it is this day. 3 Ki. 3:6
And thy servant is in the midst of the people which thou hast chosen, an immense people, which cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. 3 Ki. 3:8
Give therefore to thy servant an understanding heart, to judge thy people, and discern between good and evil. For who shall be able to judge this people, thy people, which is so numerous? 3 Ki. 3:9
And the Lord said to Solomon: Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life nor riches, nor the lives of thy enemies, but hast asked for thyself wisdom to discern judgment; 3 Ki. 3:11
Behold I have done for thee according to thy words, and have given thee a wise and understanding heart, in so much that there hath been no one like thee before thee, nor shall arise after thee. 3 Ki. 3:12
And Solomon awaked, and perceived that it was a dream: and when he was come to Jerusalem, he stood before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered holocausts, and sacrificed victims of peace offerings, and made a great feast for all his servants. 3 Ki. 3:15
And this woman's child died in the night: for in her sleep she overlaid him. 3 Ki. 3:19
And the other woman answered: It is not so as thou sayest, but thy child is dead, and mine is alive. On the contrary, she said; Thou liest: for my child liveth, and thy child is dead. And in this manner they strove before the king. 3 Ki. 3:22
But the woman, whose child was alive, said to the king; (for her bowels were moved upon her child) I beseech thee, my lord, give her the child alive, and do not kill it. But the other said: Let it be neither mine nor thine; but divide it. 3 Ki. 3:26
The king answered, and said: Give the living child to this woman, and let it not be killed; for she is the mother thereof. 3 Ki. 3:27
And Solomon had twelve governors over all Israel, who provided victuals for the king and for his house hold: for every one provided necessaries, each man his month in the year. 3 Ki. 4:7
And the provision of Solomon, for each day, was thirty measures of fine flour, and threescore measures of meal; 3 Ki. 4:22
For he had all the country which was beyond the river, from Thaphsa to Gazan, and all the kings of those countries: and he had peace on every side round about. 3 Ki. 4:24
And Solomon had forty thousand stalls of chariot horses, and twelve thousand for the saddle. 3 Ki. 4:26
And the foresaid governors of the king fed them; and they furnished the necessaries also for king Solomon's table, with great care, in their time. 3 Ki. 4:27
They brought barley also, and straw for the horses and beasts, to the place where the king was, according as it was appointed them. 3 Ki. 4:28
¤ And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent his servants to Solomon: for he heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram had always been David's friend. 3 Ki. 5:1
Give orders, therefore, that thy servants cut me down cedar trees, out of Libanus, and let my servants be with thy servants: and I will give thee the hire of thy servants whatsoever thou wilt ask: for thou knowest how there is not among my people a man that has skill to hew wood like to the Sidonians. 3 Ki. 5:6
My servants shall bring them down from Libanus to the sea: and I will put them together in floats, on the sea, and convey them to the place, which thou shalt signify to me, and will land them there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt allow me necessaries to furnish food for my household. 3 Ki. 5:9
And Solomon allowed Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat, for provision for his house, and twenty measures of the purest oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram every year. 3 Ki. 5:11
And the king commanded that they should bring great stones, costly stones, for the foundation of the temple, and should square them: 3 Ki. 5:17
The door, for the middle side, was on the right hand of the house: and by winding stairs they went up to the middle room, and from the middle to the third. 3 Ki. 6:8
As for this house, which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments, walking in them, I will fulfil my word to thee, which I spoke to David thy father. 3 Ki. 6:12
He built also the house of the forest of Libanus; the length of it was a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty cubits, and the height thirty cubits: and four galleries between pillars of cedar: for he had cut cedar trees into pillars. 3 Ki. 7:2
And in the midst of the porch, was a small house, where he sat in judgment of the like work. He made also a house for the daughter of Pharao (whom Solomon had taken to wife) of the same work, as this porch; 3 Ki. 7:8
And a graven work, under the brim of it, compassed it for ten cubits going about the sea: there were two rows cast of chamfered sculptures. 3 Ki. 7:24
And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks: two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the cords of the chapiters, which were upon the tops of the pillars. 3 Ki. 7:42
And the cauldrons, and the shovels, and the basins. All the vessels that Hiram made for king Solomon, for the house of the Lord, were of fine brass. 3 Ki. 7:45
And Solomon placed all the vessels: but for its exceeding great multitude the brass could not be weighed. 3 Ki. 7:47
And Solomon made all the vessels for the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, upon which the loaves of proposition should be set: 3 Ki. 7:48
And pots, and fleshhooks, and bowls, and mortars, and censers, of most pure gold: and the hinges for the doors of the inner house of the holy of holies, and for the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold. 3 Ki. 7:50
For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and covered the ark, and the staves thereof above. 3 Ki. 8:7
And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord. 3 Ki. 8:11
Building, I have built a house for thy dwelling, to be thy most firm throne for ever. 3 Ki. 8:13
And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: for all the assembly of Israel stood. 3 Ki. 8:14
Since the day that I brought my people Israel, out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built, that my name might be there: but I chose David to be over my people Israel. 3 Ki. 8:16
And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when they came out of the land of Egypt. 3 Ki. 8:21
Is it then to be thought that God should indeed dwell upon earth? for if heaven, and the heavens of heavens, cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built? 3 Ki. 8:27
That thou mayst hearken to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, whatsoever they shall pray for in this place, and hear them in the place of thy dwelling in heaven; and when thou hearest, shew them mercy. 3 Ki. 8:30
Then hear thou in heaven, in the place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do so as to give to every one according to his ways, as thou shalt see his heart (for thou only knowest the heart of all the children of men) 3 Ki. 8:39
Moreover also the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name's sake, (for they shall hear every where of thy great name, and thy mighty hand, 3 Ki. 8:41
Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy dwelling place, and do all those things, for which that stranger shall call upon thee: that all the people of the earth may learn to fear thy name, as do thy people Israel, and may prove that thy name is called upon on this house, which I have built. 3 Ki. 8:43
And then hear thou in heaven their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them. 3 Ki. 8:45
But if they sin against thee, (for there is no man who sinneth not) and thou being angry, deliver them up to their enemies, so that they be led away captives into the land of their enemies, far or near; 3 Ki. 8:46
Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy throne, their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them: 3 Ki. 8:49
For they are thy people, and thy inheritance, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron. 3 Ki. 8:51
That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, to hear them in all things for which they shall call upon thee. 3 Ki. 8:52
For thou hast separated them to thyself for an inheritance, from amongst all the people of the earth, as thou hast spoken by Moses, thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God. 3 Ki. 8:53
And it came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, that he rose from before the altar of the Lord: for he had fixed both knees on the ground, and had spread his hands towards heaven. 3 Ki. 8:54
And let these my words, wherewith I have prayed before the Lord, be nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he may do judgment for his servant, and for his people Israel, day by day: 3 Ki. 8:59
In that day the king sanctified the middle of the court, that was before the house of the Lord for there he offered the holocaust, and sacrifice, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the Lord, was too little to receive the holocaust, and sacrifice, and the fat of the peace offerings. 3 Ki. 8:64
And on the eighth day, he sent away the people: and they blessed the king, and went to their dwellings, rejoicing, and glad in heart, for all the good things that the Lord had done for David, his servant, and for Israel, his people. 3 Ki. 8:66
And the Lord said to him: I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, which thou hast made before me: I have sanctified this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and my eyes, and my heart, shall be there always. 3 Ki. 9:3
I will establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel for ever, as I promised David, thy father, saying: There shall not fail a man of thy race upon the throne of Israel. 3 Ki. 9:5
Pharao, the king of Egypt, came up and took Gazer, and burnt it with fire: and slew the Chanaanite that dwelt in the city, and gave it for a dowry to his daughter, Solomon's wife. 3 Ki. 9:16
And the daughter of Pharao came up out of the city of David to her house, which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Mello. 3 Ki. 9:24
Blessed be the Lord thy God, whom thou hast pleased, and who hath set thee upon the throne of Israel, because the Lord hath loved Israel for ever, and hath appointed thee king, to do judgment and justice. 3 Ki. 10:9
And the king made of the thyine trees the rails of the house of the Lord, and of the king's house: and citterns and harps for singers: there were no such thyine trees as these brought nor seen unto this day.) 3 Ki. 10:12
And Solomon made two hundred shields of the purest gold: he allowed six hundred sicles of gold for the plates of one shield. 3 Ki. 10:16

And a chariot of four horses came out of Egypt, for six hundred sicles of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty. And after this manner did all the kings of the Hethites, and of Syria, sell horses. 3 Ki. 10:29
Of the nations concerning which the Lord said to the children of Israel: You shall not go in unto them, neither shall any of them come into yours: for they will most certainly turn away your heart to follow their gods. And to these was Solomon joined with a most ardent love. 3 Ki. 11:2
Then Solomon built a temple for Chamos, the idol of Moab, on the hill that is over against Jerusalem, and for Moloch, the idol of the children of Ammon. 3 Ki. 11:7
And he did in this manner for all his wives that were strangers, who burnt incense, and offered sacrifice to their gods. 3 Ki. 11:8
Nevertheless, in thy days I will not do it, for David thy father's sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of thy son. 3 Ki. 11:12
Neither will I take away the whole kingdom; but I will give one tribe to thy son, for the sake of David, my servant, and Jerusalem, which I have chosen. 3 Ki. 11:13
For when David was in Edom, and Joab, the general of the army, was gone up to bury them that were slain, and had killed every male in Edom, 3 Ki. 11:15
(For Joab remained there six months with all Israel, till he had slain every male in Edom,) 3 Ki. 11:16
And this is the cause of his rebellion against him; for Solomon built Mello, and filled up the breach of the city of David, his father. 3 Ki. 11:27
And he said to Jeroboam: Take to thee ten pieces: for thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give thee ten tribes. 3 Ki. 11:31
But one tribe shall remain to him for the sake of my servant, David, and Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel: 3 Ki. 11:32
Yet I will not take away all the kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him prince all the days of his life, for David my servant's sake, whom I chose, who kept my commandments, and my precepts. 3 Ki. 11:34
And to his son I will give one tribe, that there may remain a lamp for my servant, David, before me always in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen, that my name might be there. 3 Ki. 11:36
If then thou wilt hearken to all that I shall command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do what is right before me, keeping my commandments and my precepts, as David, my servant, did: I will be with thee, and will build thee up a faithful house, as I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to thee: 3 Ki. 11:38
And I will for this afflict the seed of David, but yet not for ever. 3 Ki. 11:39
¤ And Roboam went to Sichem: for thither were all Israel come together to make him king. 3 Ki. 12:1
And the king condescended not to the people: for the Lord was turned away from him, to make good his word, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias, the Silonite, to Jeroboam, the son of Nabat. 3 Ki. 12:15
But as for all the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda, Roboam reigned over them. 3 Ki. 12:17
And Roboam came to Jerusalem, and gathered together all the house of Juda, and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred fourscore thousand chosen men for war, to fight against the house of Israel, and to bring the kingdom again under Roboam, the son of Solomon. 3 Ki. 12:21
Thus saith the Lord: You shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren, the children of Israel: let every man return to his house, for this thing is from me. They hearkened to the word of the Lord, and returned from their journey, as the Lord had commanded them. 3 Ki. 12:24
And this thing became an occasion of sin: for the people went to adore the calf as far as Dan. 3 Ki. 12:30
And the king said to the man of God: Entreat the face of the Lord thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me. And the man of God besought the face of the Lord, and the king's hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before. 3 Ki. 13:6
For so it was enjoined me by the word of the Lord commanding me: Thou shalt not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the same way that thou camest. 3 Ki. 13:9

And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and going back brought it into the city of the old prophet, to mourn for him. 3 Ki. 13:29

Go, and tell Jeroboam: Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: For as much as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel; 3 Ki. 14:7
Them that shall die of Jeroboam in the city, the dogs shall eat: and them that shall die in the field, the birds of the air shall devour: for the Lord hath spoken it. 3 Ki. 14:11
And all Israel shall mourn for him, and shall bury him: for he only of Jeroboam shall be laid in a sepulchre, because in his regard there is found a good word from the Lord, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam. 3 Ki. 14:13
And the Lord shall give up Israel for the sins of Jeroboam, who hath sinned, and made Israel to sin. 3 Ki. 14:16
And they buried him. And all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of his servant Ahias, the prophet. 3 Ki. 14:18
For they also built them altars, and statues, and groves, upon every high hill, and under every green tree: 3 Ki. 14:23

And Baasa, the son of Ahias, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him, and slew him in Gebbethon, which is a city of the Philistines: for Nadab and all Israel besieged Gebbethon. 3 Ki. 15:27
Because of the sin of Jeroboam, which he had sinned, and wherewith he had made Israel to sin, and for the offence wherewith he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel. 3 Ki. 15:30
For as much as I have exalted thee out of the dust and made thee prince over my people Israel, and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins: 3 Ki. 16:2
And when the word of the Lord came in the hand of Jehu, the son of Hanani, the prophet, against Baasa, and against his house, and against all the evil that he had done before the Lord, to provoke him to anger by the works of his hands, to become as the house of Jeroboam: for this cause he slew him; that is to say, Jehu, the son of Hanani, the prophet. 3 Ki. 16:7
For all the sins of Baasa, and the sins of Ela, his son, who sinned, and made Israel to sin, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, with their vanities. 3 Ki. 16:13

And Elias said to her: Fear not; but go, and do as thou hast said but first make for me of the same meal a little hearth cake, and bring it to me, and after make for thyself and thy son. 3 Ki. 17:13
For thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: The pot of meal shall not waste, nor the cruise of oil be diminished, until the day wherein the Lord will give rain upon the face of the earth. 3 Ki. 17:14
For when Jezabel killed the prophets of the Lord, he took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty and fifty in caves, and fed them with bread and water. 3 Ki. 18:4
Let two bullocks be given us, and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it upon wood, but put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under it. 3 Ki. 18:23
And when it was now noon, Elias jested at them, saying: Cry with a louder voice: for he is a god; and perhaps he is talking, or is in an inn, or on a journey; or perhaps he is asleep, and must be awaked. 3 Ki. 18:27

With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have destroyed thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword; and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away. 3 Ki. 19:14
And he forthwith left the oxen, and ran after Elias, and said: Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said to him: Go, and return back: for that which was my part, I have done to thee. 3 Ki. 19:20
And the king of Israel called all the ancients of the land, and said: Mark, and see that he layeth snares for us. For he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver and gold: and I said not nay. 3 Ki. 20:7
Wherefore he answered the messengers of Benadad: Tell my lord, the king: All that thou didst send for to me, thy servant at first, I will do: but this thing I cannot do. 3 Ki. 20:9

And he said: Whether they come for peace, take them alive: or whether they come to fight, take them alive. 3 Ki. 20:18
(And a prophet coming to the king of Israel, said to him: Go, and strengthen thyself, and know, and see what thou dost: for the next year the king of Syria will come up against thee.) 3 Ki. 20:22
The men took this for a sign: and in haste caught the word out of his mouth, and said: Thy brother Benadad. And he said to them: Go, and bring him to me. Then Benadad came out to him, and he lifted him up into his chariot. 3 Ki. 20:33
And as the king passed by, he cried to the king, and said: Thy servant went out to fight hand to hand: and when a certain man was run away, one brought him to me, and said: Keep this man: and if he shall slip away, thy life shall be for his life, or thou shalt pay a talent of silver. 3 Ki. 20:39
And he said to him: Thus saith the Lord. Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man worthy of death, thy life shall be for his life, and thy people for his people. 3 Ki. 20:42

And he answered her: I spoke to Naboth, the Jezrahelite, and said to him: Give me thy vineyard, and take money for it: or if it please thee, I will give thee a better vineyard for it. And he said: I will not give thee my vineyard. 3 Ki. 21:6
And it came to pass, when Jezabel heard that Naboth was stoned, and dead, that she said to Achab: Arise, and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth, the Jezrahelite, who would not agree with thee, and give it thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead. 3 Ki. 21:15

Now, there was not such another as Achab, who was sold to do evil in the sight of the Lord: for his wife, Jezabel, set him on, 3 Ki. 21:25

And he walked in all the way of Asa, his father, and he declined not from it: and he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord. Nevertheless, he took not away the high places for as yet the people offered sacrifice, and burnt incense in the high places. 3 Ki. 22:43
But king Josaphat made navies on the sea, to sail into Ophir for gold: but they could not go, for the ships were broken in Asiongaber. 3 Ki. 22:48

And now as a little, and for a moment has our prayer been made before the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant, and give us a pin in his holy place, and that our God would enlighten our eyes, and would give us a little life in our bondage. 1 Esd. 9:8

And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments, 1 Esd. 9:10
Now therefore give not your daughters to their sons, and take not their daughters for your sons, and seek not their peace, nor their prosperity for ever: that you may be strengthened, and may eat the good things of the land, and may have your children your heirs for ever. 1 Esd. 9:12
And after all that is come upon us, for our most wicked deeds, and our great sin, seeing that thou our God hast saved us from our iniquity, and hast given us a deliverance as at this day, 1 Esd. 9:13

And Esdras rose up from before the house of God, and went to the chamber of Johanan the son of Eliasib, and entered in thither: he ate no bread, and drank no water: for he mourned for the transgression of them that were come out of the captivity. 1 Esd. 10:6

Let rulers be appointed in all the multitude: and in all our cities, let them that have taken strange wives come at the times appointed, and with them the ancients and the judges of every city, until the wrath of our God be turned away from us for this sin. 1 Esd. 10:14

And it came to pass from that day forward, that half of their young men did the work, and half were ready for to fight, with spears, and shields, and bows, and coats of mail, and the rulers were behind them in all the house of Juda. 2 Esd. 4:16

They appointed also in that day men over the storehouses of the treasure, for the libations, and for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, that the rulers of the city might bring them in by them in honour of thanksgiving, for the priests and Levites: for Juda was joyful in the priests and Levites that assisted. 2 Esd. 12:44

For whereas he had always feared God from his infancy, and kept his commandments, he repined not against God because the evil of blindness had befallen him, Tob. 2:13
For as the kings insulted over holy Job: so his relations and kinsmen mocked at his life, saying: Tob. 2:15
Where is thy hope, for which thou gavest alms, and buriedst the dead? Tob. 2:16

Now Anna his wife went daily to weaving work, and she brought home what she could get for their living by the labour of her hands. Tob. 2:19
And when her husband heard it bleating, he said: Take heed, lest perhaps it be stolen: restore ye it to its owners, for it is not lawful for us either to eat or to touch any thing that cometh by theft. Tob. 2:21

And either I was unworthy of them, or they perhaps were not worthy of me: because perhaps thou hast kept me for another man, Tob. 3:19
For thy counsel is not in man's power. Tob. 3:20
For thou art not delighted in our being lost, because after a storm thou makest a calm, and after tears and weeping thou pourest in joyfulness. Tob. 3:22
Be thy name, O God of Israel, blessed for ever, Tob. 3:23
For thou must be mindful what and how great perils she suffered for thee in her womb. Tob. 4:4
Give alms out of thy substance, and turn not away thy face from any poor person: for so it shall come to pass that the face of the Lord shall not be turned from thee. Tob. 4:7
For thus thou storest up to thyself a good reward for the day of necessity. Tob. 4:10
For alms deliver from all sin, and from death, and will not suffer the soul to go into darkness. Tob. 4:11
Never suffer pride to reign in thy mind, or in thy words: for from it all perdition took its beginning. Tob. 4:14

Then Tobias asked the angel, and said to him: I beseech thee, brother Azarias, tell me what remedies are these things good for, which thou hast bid me keep of the fish? Tob. 6:7
And the gall is good for anointing the eyes, in which there is a white speck, and they shall be cured. Tob. 6:9

And when the third night is past, thou shalt take the virgin with the fear of the Lord, moved rather for love of children than for lust, that in the seed of Abraham thou mayst obtain a blessing in children. Tob. 6:22
The angel said to him: Be not afraid to give her to this man, for to him who feareth God is thy daughter due to be his wife: therefore another could not have her. Tob. 7:12

For he said: Lest perhaps it may have happened to him, in like manner as it did to the other seven husbands, that went in unto her. Tob. 8:12
For thou hast shewn thy mercy to us, and hast shut out from us the enemy that persecuted us. Tob. 8:18
And he spoke to his wife to make ready a feast, and prepare all kind of provisions that are necessary for such as go a journey. Tob. 8:21
He caused also two fat kine, and four wethers to be killed, and a banquet to be prepared for all his neighbours, and all his friends, Tob. 8:22

And Achior and Nabath the kinsmen of Tobias came, rejoicing for Tobias, and congratulating with him for all the good things that God had done for him. Tob. 11:20
And for seven days they feasted and rejoiced all with great joy. Tob. 11:21
He conducted me and brought me safe again, he received the money of Gabelus, he caused me to have my wife, and he chased from her the evil spirit, he gave joy to her parents, myself he delivered from being devoured by the fish, thee also he hath made to see the light of heaven, and we are filled with all good things through him. What can we give him sufficient for these things? Tob. 12:3
For it is good to hide the secret of a king: but honourable to reveal and confess the works of God. Tob. 12:7

Jud. 6:13
And when they had kept this watch for full twenty days, the cisterns, and the reserve of waters failed among all the inhabitants of Bethulia, so that there was not within the city, enough to satisfy them, no not for one day, for water was daily given out to the people by measure. Jud. 7:11
Said: God be judge between us and thee, for thou hast done evil against us, in that thou wouldst not speak peaceably with the Assyrians, and for this cause God hath sold us into their hands. Jud. 7:13
For it is better, that being captives we should live and bless the Lord, than that we should die, and be a reproach to all flesh, after we have seen our wives and our infants die before our eyes. Jud. 7:16
And when they had said these things, there was great weeping and lamentation of all in the assembly, and for many hours with one voice they cried to God, saying: Jud. 7:18
Ozias rising up all in tears, said: Be of good courage, my brethren, and let us wait these five days for mercy from the Lord. Jud. 7:23
For perhaps he will put a stop to his indignation, and will give glory to his own name. Jud. 7:24
For he was standing over them that bound sheaves in the field; and the heat came upon his head, and he died in Bethulia his own city, and was buried there with his fathers. Jud. 8:3
You have set a time for the mercy of the Lord, and you have appointed him a day, according to your pleasure. Jud. 8:13
But forasmuch as the Lord is patient, let us be penitent for this same thing, and with many tears let us beg his pardon: Jud. 8:14
For God will not threaten like man, nor be inflamed to anger like the son of man. Jud. 8:15
For we have not followed the sins of our fathers, who forsook their God, and worshipped strange gods. Jud. 8:18
For which crime they were given up to their enemies, to the sword, and to pillage, and to confusion: but we know no other God but him. Jud. 8:19
Let us humbly wait for his consolation, and the Lord our God will require our blood of the afflictions of our enemies, and he will humble all the nations that shall rise up against us, and bring them to disgrace. Jud. 8:20
As for us therefore let us not revenge ourselves for these things which we suffer. Jud. 8:26
But esteeming these very punishments to be less than our sins deserve, let us believe that these scourges of the Lord, with which like servants we are chastised, have happened for our amendment, and not for our destruction. Jud. 8:27
Now therefore pray for us, for thou art a holy woman, and one fearing God. Jud. 8:29
But I desire that you search not into what I am doing, and till I bring you word let nothing else be done but to pray for me to the Lord our God. Jud. 8:33
For thou hast done the things of old, and hast devised one thing after another: and what thou hast designed hath been done. Jud. 9:4
For all thy ways are prepared, and in thy providence thou hast placed thy judgments. Jud. 9:5
For this will be a glorious monument for thy name, when he shall fall by the hand of a woman. Jud. 9:15
For thy power, O Lord, is not in a multitude, nor is thy pleasure in the strength of horses, nor from the beginning have the proud been acceptable to thee: but the prayer of the humble and the meek hath always pleased thee. Jud. 9:16
For this reason I thought with myself, saying: I will go to the presence of the prince Holofernes, that I may tell him their secrets, and shew him by what way he may take them, without the loss of one man of his army. Jud. 10:13
And when the men had heard her words, they beheld her face, and their eyes were amazed, for they wondered exceedingly at her beauty. Jud. 10:14
And his officers said to him: Who can despise the people of the Hebrews, who have such beautiful women, that we should not think it worth our while for their sakes to fight against them? Jud. 10:18
¤ Then Holofernes said to her: Be of good comfort, and fear not in thy heart: for I have never hurt a man that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor the king. Jud. 11:1
But now tell me, for what cause hast thou left them, and why it hath pleased thee to come to us? Jud. 11:3
And Judith said to him: Receive the words of thy handmaid, for if thou wilt follow the words of thy handmaid, the Lord will do with thee a perfect thing. Jud. 11:4
For as Nabuchodonosor the king of the earth liveth, and his power liveth which is in thee for chastising of all straying souls: not only men serve him through thee, but also the beasts of the field obey him. Jud. 11:5
For the industry of thy mind is spoken of among all nations, and it is told through the whole world, that thou only art excellent, and mighty in all his kingdom, and thy discipline is cried up in all provinces. Jud. 11:6
For it is certain that our God is so offended with sins, that he hath sent word by his prophets to the people, that he will deliver them up for their sins. Jud. 11:8
Moreover also a famine hath come upon them, and for drought of water they are already to be counted among the dead. Jud. 11:10
For I thy handmaid worship God even now that I am with thee, and thy handmaid will go out, and I will pray to God, Jud. 11:14
And he will tell me when he will repay them for their sins, and I will come and tell thee, so that I may bring thee through the midst of Jerusalem, and thou shalt have all the people of Israel, as sheep that have no shepherd, and there shall not so much as one dog bark against thee: Jud. 11:15
And because thy promise is good, if thy God shall do this for me, he shall also be my God, and thou shalt be great in the house of Nabuchodonosor, and thy name shall be renowned through all the earth. Jud. 11:21
And Holofernes said to her: If these things which thou hast brought with thee fail thee, what shall we do for thee? Jud. 12:3
And he commanded his chamberlains, that she might go out and in, to adore her God as she pleased, for three days. Jud. 12:6
And it came to pass on the fourth day, that Holofernes made a supper for his servants, and said to Vagao his eunuch: Go, and persuade that Hebrew woman, to consent of her own accord to dwell with me. Jud. 12:10
For it is looked upon as shameful among the Assyrians, if a woman mock a man, by doing so as to pass free from him. Jud. 12:11
And the heart of Holofernes was smitten, for he was burning with the desire of her. Jud. 12:16
And Holofernes said to her: Drink now, and sit down and be merry; for thou hast found favour before me. Jud. 12:17
And she took and ate and drank before him what her maid had prepared for her. Jud. 12:19
And Judith from afar off cried to the watchmen upon the walls: Open the gates for God is with us, who hath shewn his power in Israel. Jud. 13:13
And all ran to meet her from the least to the greatest: for they now had no hopes that she would come. Jud. 13:15
But as the same Lord liveth, his angel hath been my keeper both going hence, and abiding there, and returning from thence hither: and the Lord hath not suffered me his handmaid to be defiled, but hath brought me back to you without pollution of sin, rejoicing for his victory, for my escape, and for your deliverance. Jud. 13:20
Give all of you glory to him, because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever. Jud. 13:21
Because he hath so magnified thy name this day, that thy praise shall not depart out of the mouth of men who shall be mindful of the power of the Lord for ever, for that thou hast not spared thy life, by reason of the distress and tribulation of thy people, but hast prevented our ruin in the presence of our God. Jud. 13:25
And Achior being called for came, and Judith said to him: The God of Israel, to whom thou gavest testimony, that he revengeth himself of his enemies, he hath cut off the head of all the unbelievers this night by my hand. Jud. 13:27
Blessed art thou by thy God in every tabernacle of Jacob, for in every nation which shall hear thy name, the God of Israel shall be magnified on occasion of thee. Jud. 13:31
Then the watchmen must needs run to awake their prince for the battle. Jud. 14:3
And when you shall know that they are fleeing, go after them securely, for the Lord will destroy them under your feet. Jud. 14:5
For no man durst knock, or open and go into the chamber of the general of the Assyrians. Jud. 14:10
Go in, and awake him, for the mice, coming out of their holes, have presumed to challenge us to fight. Jud. 14:12
Then Vagao going into his chamber, stood before the curtain, and made a clapping with his hands: for he thought that he was sleeping with Judith. Jud. 14:13
And said: One Hebrew woman hath made confusion in the house of king Nabuchodonosor: for behold Holofernes lieth upon the ground, and his head is not upon him. Jud. 14:16
For thou hast done manfully, and thy heart has been strengthened, because thou hast loved chastity, and after thy husband hast not known any other: therefore also the hand of the Lord hath strengthened thee, and therefore thou shalt be blessed for ever. Jud. 15:11
And thirty days were scarce sufficient for the people of Israel to gather up the spoils of the Assyrians. Jud. 15:13
For their mighty one did not fall by young men, neither did the sons of Titan strike him, nor tall giants oppose themselves to him, but Judith the daughter of Merari weakened him with the beauty of her face. Jud. 16:8
For she put off her the garments of widowhood, and put on her the garments of joy, to give joy to the children of Israel. Jud. 16:9
Woe be to the nation that riseth up against my people: for the Lord almighty will take revenge on them, in the day of judgment he will visit them. Jud. 16:20
For he will give fire, and worms into their flesh, that they may burn, and may feel for ever. Jud. 16:21
And Judith offered for an anathema of oblivion all the arms of Holofernes, which the people gave her, and the canopy that she had taken away out of his chamber. Jud. 16:23
And the people were joyful in the sight of the sanctuary, and for three months the joy of this victory was celebrated with Judith. Jud. 16:24
And all the people mourned for seven days. Jud. 16:29
And the nation of the just was troubled fearing their own evils, and was prepared for death. Esther 11:9
And the king commanded him, to abide in the court of the palace, and gave him presents for the information. Esther 12:5
Now in the third year of his reign he made a great feast for all the princes, and for his servants, for the most mighty of the Persians, and the nobles of the Medes, and the governors of the provinces in his sight, Esther 1:3
That he might shew the riches of the glory of his kingdom, and the greatness, and boasting of his power, for a long time, to wit, for a hundred and fourscore days. Esther 1:4
Also Vasthi the queen made a feast for the women in the palace, where king Assuerus was used to dwell. Esther 1:9
To bring in queen Vasthi before the king, with the crown set upon her head, to shew her beauty to all the people and the princes: for she was exceeding beautiful. Esther 1:11
For this deed of the queen will go abroad to all women, so that they will despise their husbands, and will say: King Assuerus commanded that queen Vasthi should come in to him, and she would not. Esther 1:17
And the king's servants and his officers said: Let young women be sought for the king, virgins and beautiful, Esther 2:2
And let some persons be sent through all the provinces to look for beautiful maidens and virgins: and let them bring them to the city of Susan, and put them into the house of the women under the hand of Egeus the eunuch, who is the overseer and keeper of the king's women: and let them receive women's ornaments, and other things necessary for their use. Esther 2:3
And he had brought up his brother's daughter Edissa, who by another name was called Esther: now she had lost both her parents: and was exceeding fair and beautiful. And her father and mother being dead, Mardochai adopted her for his daughter. Esther 2:7
And she would not tell him her people nor her country. For Mardochai had charged her to say nothing at all of that: Esther 2:10
And he walked every day before the court of the house, in which the chosen virgins were kept, having a care for Esther's welfare, and desiring to know what would befall her. Esther 2:11
Now when every virgin's turn came to go in to the king, after all had been done for setting them off to advantage, it was the twelfth month: so that for six months they were anointed with oil of myrrh, and for other six months they used certain perfumes and sweet spices. Esther 2:12
And as the time came orderly about, the day was at hand, when Esther, the daughter of Abihail the brother of Mardochai, whom he had adopted for his daughter, was to go in to the king. But she sought not women's ornaments, but whatsoever Egeus the eunuch the keeper of the virgins had a mind, he gave her to adorn her. For she was exceeding fair, and her incredible beauty made her appear agreeable and amiable in the eyes of all. Esther 2:15
And he commanded a magnificent feast to be prepared for all the princes, and for his servants, for the marriage and wedding of Esther, And he gave rest to all the provinces, and bestowed gifts according to princely magnificence. Esther 2:18
Neither had Esther as yet declared her country and people, according to his commandment. For whatsoever he commanded, Esther observed: and she did all things in the same manner as she was wont at that time when he brought her up a little one. Esther 2:20
And all the king's servants, that were at the doors of the palace, bent their knees, and worshipped Aman: for so the emperor had commanded them, only Mardochai did not bend his knee, nor worship him. Esther 3:2
And when they were saying this often, and he would not hearken to them, they told Aman, desirous to know whether he would continue in his resolution: for he had told them that he was a Jew. Esther 3:4
And he counted it nothing to lay his hands upon Mardochai alone: for he had heard that he was of the nation of the Jews, and he chose rather to destroy all the nation of the Jews that were in the kingdom of Assuerus. Esther 3:6
And Aman said to king Assuerus: There is a people scattered through all the provinces of thy kingdom, and separated one from another, that use new laws and ceremonies, and moreover despise the king's ordinances: and thou knowest very well that it is not expedient for thy kingdom that they should grow insolent by impunity. Esther 3:8
And he said to him: As to the money which thou promisest, keep it for thyself: and as to the people, do with them as seemeth good to thee. Esther 3:11
And he came lamenting in this manner even to the gate of the palace: for no one clothed with sackcloth might enter the king's court. Esther 4:2
And in all provinces, towns, and places, to which the king's cruel edict was come, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, wailing, and weeping, many using sackcloth and ashes for their bed. Esther 4:3
And she called for Athach the eunuch, whom the king had appointed to attend upon her, and she commanded him to go to Mardochai, and learn of him why he did this. Esther 4:5
He gave him also a copy of the edict which was hanging up in Susan, that he should shew it to the queen, and admonish her to go in to the king, and to entreat him for her people. Esther 4:8
¤ And he commanded her (no doubt but he was Mardochai) to go to the king, and petition for her people, and for her country. Esther 15:1
And do thou call upon the Lord, and speak to the king for us, and deliver us from death. Esther 15:3
All the king's servants, and all the provinces that are under his dominion, know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, cometh into the king's inner court, who is not called for, is immediately to be put to death without any delay: except the king shall hold out the golden sceptre to him, in token of clemency, that so he may live. How then can I go in to the king, who for these thirty days now have not been called unto him? Esther 4:11
For if thou wilt now hold thy peace, the Jews shall be delivered by some other occasion: and thou, and thy father's house shall perish. And who knoweth whether thou art not therefore come to the kingdom, that thou mightest be ready in such a time as this? Esther 4:14
Go, and gather together all the Jews whom thou shalt find in Susan, and pray ye for me. Neither eat nor drink for three days and three nights: and I with my handmaids will fast in like manner, and then I will go in to the king, against the law, not being called, and expose myself to death and to danger. Esther 4:16
And said: O Lord, Lord, almighty king, for all things are in thy power, and there is none that can resist thy will, if thou determine to save Israel. Esther 13:9
(For I would willingly and readily for the salvation of Israel have kissed even the steps of his feet,) Esther 13:13
Despise not thy portion, which thou hast redeemed for thyself out of Egypt. Esther 13:16
And when she had laid away her royal apparel, she put on garments suitable for weeping and mourning: instead of divers precious ointments, she covered her head with ashes and dung, and she humbled her body with fasts: and all the places in which before she was accustomed to rejoice, she filled with her torn hair. Esther 14:2
For we have worshipped their gods. Thou art just, O Lord. Esther 14:7
That they may open the mouths of Gentiles, and praise the strength of idols, and magnify for ever a carnal king. Esther 14:10
And upon one of them she leaned, as if for delicateness and overmuch tenderness she were not able to bear up her own body. Esther 15:6
Thou shalt not die: for this law is not made for thee, but for all others. Esther 15:13
She answered: I saw thee, my lord, as an angel of God, and my heart was troubled for fear of thy majesty. Esther 15:16
For thou, my lord, art very admirable, and thy face is full of graces. Esther 15:17
And the king said forthwith: Call ye Aman quickly, that he may obey Esther's will. So the king and Aman came to the banquet which the queen had prepared for them. Esther 5:5
And the king said to her, after he had drunk wine plentifully: What dost thou desire should be given thee? and for what thing askest thou? although thou shouldst ask the half of my kingdom, thou shalt have it. Esther 5:6
And when the king heard this, he said: What honour and reward hath Mardochai received for this fidelity? His servants and ministers said to him: He hath received no reward at all. Esther 6:3
And the king said immediately: Who is in the court? for Aman was coming in to the inner court of the king's house, to speak to the king, that he might order Mardochai to be hanged upon the gibbet, which was prepared for him. Esther 6:4
Then she answered: If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please thee, give me my life for which I ask, and my people for which I request. Esther 7:3
For we are given up, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. And would God we were sold for bondmen and bondwomen: the evil might be borne with, and I would have mourned in silence: but now we have an enemy, whose cruelty redoundeth upon the king. Esther 7:4
But the king being angry rose up, and went from the place of the banquet into the garden set with trees. Aman also rose up to entreat Esther the queen for his life, for he understood that evil was prepared for him by the king. Esther 7:7
And Harbona, one of the eunuchs that stood waiting on the king, said: Behold the gibbet which he hath prepared for Mardochai, who spoke for the king, standeth in Aman's house, being fifty cubits high. And the king said to him: Hang him upon it. Esther 7:9
So Aman was hanged on the gibbet, which he had prepared for Mardochai: and the king's wrath ceased. Esther 7:10
¤ On that day king Assuerus gave the house of Aman, the Jews' enemy, to queen Esther, and Mardochai came in before the king. For Esther had confessed to him that he was her uncle. Esther 8:1
For how can I endure the murdering and slaughter of my people? Esther 8:6
Write ye therefore to the Jews, as it pleaseth you in the king's name, and seal the letters with my ring. For this was the custom, that no man durst gainsay the letters which were sent in the king's name, and were sealed with his ring. Esther 8:8
Then the king's scribes and secretaries were called for (now it was the time of the third month which is called Siban) the three and twentieth day of the month, and letters were written, as Mardochai had a mind, to the Jews, and to the governors, and to the deputies, and to the judges, who were rulers over the hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India even to Ethiopia: to province and province, to people and people, according to their languages and characters, and to the Jews, according as they could read and hear. Esther 8:9
And the king gave orders to them, to speak to the Jews in every city, and to command them to gather themselves together, and to stand for their lives, and to kill and destroy all their enemies with their wives and children and all their houses, and to take their spoil. Esther 8:11
Neither are they content not to return thanks for benefits received, and to violate in themselves the laws of humanity, but they think they can also escape the justice of God who seeth all things. Esther 16:4
Wherefore we must provide for the peace of all provinces. Esther 16:8
For with certain new and unheard of devices he hath sought the destruction of Mardochai, by whose fidelity and good services our life was saved, and of Esther the partner of our kingdom with all their nation: Esther 16:13
For which crime both he himself that devised it, and all his kindred hang on gibbets, before the gates of this city Susan: not we, but God repaying him as he deserved. Esther 16:18
For the almighty God hath turned this day of sadness and mourning into joy to them. Esther 16:21
That all they who faithfully obey the Persians, receive a worthy reward for their fidelity: but they that are traitors to their kingdom, are destroyed for their wickedness. Esther 16:23
And let every province and city, that will not be partaker of this solemnity, perish by the sword and by fire, and be destroyed in such manner as to be made unpassable, both to men and beasts, for an example of contempt, and disobedience. Esther 16:24
And in all peoples, cities, and provinces, whithersoever the king's commandments came, there was wonderful rejoicing, feasts and banquets, and keeping holy day: Insomuch that many of other nations and religion, joined themselves to their worship and ceremonies. For a great dread of the name of the Jews had fallen upon all. Esther 8:17
And they gathered themselves together in every city, and town, and place, to lay their hands on their enemies, and their persecutors. And no one durst withstand them, for the fear of their power had gone through every people. Esther 9:2
And the judges of the provinces, and the governors, and lieutenants, and every one in dignity, that presided over every place and work, extolled the Jews for fear of Mardochai: Esther 9:3
For they knew him to be prince of the palace, and to have great power: and the fame of his name increased daily, and was spread abroad through all men's mouths. Esther 9:4
Moreover through all the provinces which were subject to the king's dominion the Jews stood for their lives, and slew their enemies and persecutors: insomuch that the number of them that were killed amounted to seventy-five thousand, and no man took any of their goods. Esther 9:16
But those Jews that dwelt in towns not walled and in villages, appointed the fourteenth day of the month Adar for banquets and gladness, so as to rejoice on that day, and send one another portions of their banquets and meats. Esther 9:19
That they should receive the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the month Adar for holy days, and always at the return of the year should celebrate them with solemn honour: Esther 9:21
For Aman, the son of Amadathi of the race of Agag, the enemy and adversary of the Jews, had devised evil against them, to kill them and destroy them; and had cast Phur, that is, the lot. Esther 9:24
And the things that they suffered, and that were afterwards changed, the Jews took upon themselves and their seed, and upon all that had a mind to be joined to their religion, so that it should be lawful for none to pass these days without solemnity: which the writing testifieth, and certain times require, as the years continually succeed one another. Esther 9:27
And Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mardochai the Jew, wrote also a second epistle, that with all diligence this day should be established a festival for the time to come. Esther 9:29
And how Mardochai of the race of the Jews, was next after king Assuerus: and great among the Jews, and acceptable to the people of his brethren, seeking the good of his people, and speaking those things which were for the welfare of his seed. Esther 10:3
And when the days of their feasting were gone about, Job sent to them, and sanctified them: and rising up early, offered holocausts for every one of them. For he said: Lest perhaps my sons have sinned, and have blessed God in their hearts. So did Job all days. Job 1:5
Hast not thou made a fence for him, and his house, and all his substance round about, blessed the works of his hands, and his possession hath increased on the earth? Job 1:10
And Satan answered, and said: Skin for skin; and all that a man hath, he will give for his life: Job 2:4
Now when Job's three friends heard all the evil that had befallen him, they came every one from his own place, Eliphaz, the Themanite, and Baldad, the Suhite, and Sophar, the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment to come together and visit him, and comfort him. Job 2:11
And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights and no man spoke to him a word: for they saw that his grief was very great. Job 2:13
For now I should have been asleep and still, and should have rest in my sleep: Job 3:13
That look for death, and it cometh not, as they that dig for a treasure: Job 3:21
For the fear which I feared, hath come upon me: and that which I was afraid of, hath befallen me. Job 3:25
The tiger hath perished for want of prey, and the young lions are scattered abroad. Job 4:11
From morning till evening they shall be cut down: and because no one understandeth, they shall perish for ever. Job 4:20
For he woundeth, and cureth: he striketh, and his hands shall heal. Job 5:18
For the arrows of the Lord are in me, the rage whereof drinketh up my spirit, and the terrors of the Lord war against me. Job 6:4
Who will grant that my request may come: and that God may give me what I look for? Job 6:8
For what is my strength, that I can hold out? or what is my end, that I should keep patience? Job 6:11
Behold there is no help for me in myself, and my familiar friends also are departed from me. Job 6:13
As a servant longeth for the shade, as the hireling looketh for the end of his work; Job 7:2
If I lie down to sleep, I shall say: When shall I rise? and again, I shall look for the evening, and shall be filled with sorrows even till darkness. Job 7:4
I have done with hope, I shall now live no longer: spare me, for my days are nothing. Job 7:16
For inquire of the former generation, and search diligently into the memory of the fathers: Job 8:8
(For we are but of yesterday, and are ignorant that our days upon earth are but a shadow Job 8:9
For this is the joy of his way, that others may spring again out of the earth. Job 8:19
If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one for a thousand. Job 9:3
For he shall crush me in a whirlwind, and multiply my wounds even without cause. Job 9:17
If strength be demanded, he is most strong: if equity of judgment, no man dare bear witness for me. Job 9:19
For I shall not answer a man that is like myself: nor one that may be heard with me equally in judgment. Job 9:32
I will speak, and will not fear him: for I cannot answer while I am in fear. Job 9:35
If I have sinned, and thou hast spared me for an hour: why dost thou not suffer me to be clean from my iniquity? Job 10:14
And for pride thou wilt take me as a lioness, and returning, thou tormentest me wonderfully. Job 10:16
For thou hast said: My word is pure, and I am clean in thy sight. Job 11:4
For he knoweth the vanity of men, and when he seeth iniquity, doth he not consider it? Job 11:11
I also have a heart as well as you: for who is ignorant of these things, which you know? Job 12:3
He that is mocked by his friends as I, shall call upon God and he will hear him: for the simplicity of the just man is laughed to scorn. Job 12:4
The lamp despised in the thoughts of the rich, is ready for the time appointed. Job 12:5
Hath God any need of your lie, that you should speak deceitfully for him? Job 13:7
Do you accept his person, and do you endeavour to judge for God? Job 13:8
And he shall be my saviour: for no hypocrite shall come before his presence. Job 13:16
For thou writest bitter things against me, and wilt consume me for the sins of my youth. Job 13:26
¤ Man born of a woman, living for a short time, is filled with many miseries. Job 14:1
Depart a little from him, that he may rest until his wished for day come, as that of the hireling. Job 14:6
Thou hast strengthened him for a little while, that he may pass away for ever: thou shalt change his face, and shalt send him away. Job 14:20
Thou reprovest him by words, who is not equal to thee, and thou speakest that which is not good for thee. Job 15:3
For thy iniquity hath taught thy mouth, and thou imitatest the tongue of blasphemers. Job 15:5
He believeth not that he may return from darkness to light, looking round about for the sword on every side. Job 15:22
Tribulation shall terrify him, and distress shall surround him, as a king that is prepared for the battle. Job 15:24
For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and hath strengthened himself against the Almighty. Job 15:25
For the congregation of the hypocrite is barren, and fire shall devour their tabernacles, who love to take bribes. Job 15:34
I also could speak like you: and would God your soul were for my soul. I would comfort you also with words, and would wag my head over you. Job 16:4
For behold my witness is in heaven, and he that knoweth my conscience is on high. Job 16:19
For behold short years pass away, and I am walking in a path by which I shall not return. Job 16:22
¤ My spirit shall be wasted, my days shall be shortened and only the grave remaineth for me. Job 17:1
They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again. Job 17:12
Thou that destroyest thy soul in thy fury, shall the earth be forsaken for thee, and shall rocks be removed out of their place? Job 18:4

There is that hath appeared a fool after he was lifted up on high: for if he had understood, he would have laid his hand upon his mouth. Pr. 30:32
Open thy mouth for the dumb, and for the causes of all the children that pass. Pr. 31:8
She shall not fear for her house in the cold of snow: for all her domestics are clothed with double garments. Pr. 31:21
She hath made for herself clothing of tapestry: fine linen, and purple, is her covering. Pr. 31:22
One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth standeth for ever. Eccl. 1:4
Nothing under the sun is new, neither is any man able to say: Behold this is new: for it hath already gone before in the ages that were before us. Eccl. 1:10
I thought in my heart, to withdraw my flesh from wine, that I might turn my mind to wisdom, and might avoid folly, till I might see what was profitable for the children of men: and what they ought to do under the sun, all the days of their life. Eccl. 2:3
I heaped together for myself silver and gold, and the wealth of kings, and provinces: I made me singing men, and singing women, and the delights of the sons of men, cups and vessels to serve to pour out wine: Eccl. 2:8
For there shall be no remembrance of the wise no more than of the fool forever, and the times to come shall cover all things together with oblivion: the learned dieth in like manner as the unlearned. Eccl. 2:16
For when a man laboureth in wisdom, and knowledge, and carefulness, he leaveth what he hath gotten to an idle man: so this also is vanity, and a great evil. Eccl. 2:21
For what profit shall a man have of all his labour, and vexation of spirit, with which he hath been tormented under the sun? Eccl. 2:22
For every man that eateth and drinketh, and seeth good of his labour, this is the gift of God. Eccl. 3:13
I have learned that all the works which God hath made, continue for ever: we cannot add any thing, nor take away from those things which God hath made that he may be feared. Eccl. 3:14
And I have found that nothing is better than for a man to rejoice in his work, and that this is his portion. For who shall bring him to know the things that shall be after him? Eccl. 3:22
There is but one, and he hath not a second, no child, no brother, and yet he ceaseth not to labour, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches, neither doth he reflect, saying: For whom do I labour, and defraud my soul of good things? in this also is vanity, and a grievous vexation. Eccl. 4:8
It is better therefore that two should be together, than one: for they have the advantage of their society: Eccl. 4:9
If one fall he shall be supported by the other: woe to him that is alone, for when he falleth, he hath none to lift him up. Eccl. 4:10
Better is a child that is poor and wise, than a king that is old and foolish, who knoweth not to foresee for hereafter. Eccl. 4:13
¤ Keep thy foot, when thou goest into the house of God, and draw nigh to hear. For much better is obedience, than the victims of fools, who know not what evil they do. Eccl. 5:1
Speak not any thing rashly, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter a word before God. For God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. Eccl. 5:2
If thou hast vowed any thing to God, defer not to pay it: for an unfaithful and foolish promise displeaseth him: but whatsoever thou hast vowed, pay it. Eccl. 5:4
If thou shalt see the oppressions of the poor, and violent judgments, and justice perverted in the province, wonder not at this matter: for he that is high hath another higher, and there are others still higher than these: Eccl. 5:8
For they are lost with very great affliction: he hath begotten a son, who shall be in extremity of want. Eccl. 5:14
A most deplorable evil: as he came, so shall he return. What then doth it profit him that he hath laboured for the wind? Eccl. 5:16
For he shall not much remember the days of his life, because God entertaineth his heart with delight. Eccl. 5:20
For he came in vain, and goeth to darkness, and his name shall be wholly forgotten. Eccl. 6:4
All the labour of man is for his mouth, but his soul shall not be filled. Eccl. 6:7
What needeth a man to seek things that are above him, whereas he knoweth not what is profitable for him in his life, in all the days of his pilgrimage, and the time that passeth like a shadow? Or who can tell him what shall be after him under the sun? Eccl. 6:12
It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to the house of feasting: for in that we are put in mind of the end of all, and the living thinketh what is to come. Eccl. 7:2
For as the crackling of thorns burning under a pot, so is the laughter of a fool: now this also is vanity. Eccl. 7:6
Be not quickly angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of a fool. Eccl. 7:9
Say not: What thinkest thou is the cause that former times were better than they are now? for this manner of question is foolish. Eccl. 7:10
For as wisdom is a defence, so money is a defence: but learning and wisdom excel in this, that they give life to him that possesseth them. Eccl. 7:12
In the good day enjoy good things, and beware beforehand of the evil day: for God hath made both the one and the other, that man may not find against him any just complaint. Eccl. 7:14
It is good that thou shouldst hold up the just, yea and from him withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God, neglecteth nothing. Eccl. 7:18
For there is no just man upon earth, that doth good, and sinneth not. Eccl. 7:20
For thy conscience knoweth that thou also hast often spoken evil of others. Eccl. 7:22
Be not hasty to depart from his face, and do not continue in an evil work: for he will do all that pleaseth him: Eccl. 8:3
There is a time and opportunity for every business, and great affliction for man: Eccl. 8:6
For because sentence is not speedily pronounced against the evil, the children of men commit evils without any fear. Eccl. 8:11
Therefore I commended mirth, because there was no good for a man under the sun, but to eat, and drink, and be merry, and that he should take nothing else with him of his labour in the days of his life, which God hath given him under the sun. Eccl. 8:15
And I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to understand the distraction that is upon earth: for there are some that day and night take no sleep with their eyes. Eccl. 8:16
But all things are kept uncertain for the time to come, because all things equally happen to the just and to the wicked, to the good and to the evil, to the clean and to the unclean, to him that offereth victims, and to him that despiseth sacrifices. As the good is, so also is the sinner: as the perjured, so he also that sweareth truth. Eccl. 9:2
There is no man that liveth always, or that hopeth for this: a living dog is better than a dead lion. Eccl. 9:4
For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know nothing more, neither have they a reward any more: for the memory of them is forgotten. Eccl. 9:5
Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest, all the days of thy unsteady life, which are given to thee under the sun, all the time of thy vanity: for this is thy portion in life, and in thy labour wherewith thou labourest under the sun. Eccl. 9:9
Whatsoever thy hand is able to do, do it earnestly: for neither work, nor reason, nor wisdom, nor knowledge shall be in hell, whither thou art hastening. Eccl. 9:10
Blessed is the land, whose king is noble, and whose princes eat in due season for refreshment, and not for riotousness. Eccl. 10:17
For laughter they make bread, and wine that the living may feast: and all things obey money. Eccl. 10:19
¤ Cast thy bread upon the running waters: for after a long time thou shalt find it again. Eccl. 11:1
Give a portion to seven, and also to eight: for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. Eccl. 11:2
In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening let not thy hand cease: for thou knowest not which may rather spring up, this or that: and if both together, it shall be the better. Eccl. 11:6
The light is sweet, and it is delightful for the eyes to see the sun. Eccl. 11:7
Rejoice therefore, O young man, in thy youth, and let thy heart be in that which is good in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thy eyes: and know that for all these God will bring thee into judgment. Eccl. 11:9
Remove anger from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh. For youth and pleasure are vain. Eccl. 11:10
Let us all hear together the conclusion of the discourse. Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is all man: Eccl. 12:13
And all things that are done, God will bring into judgment for every error, whether it be good or evil. Eccl. 12:14
Let him kiss me with the kiss of his mouth: for thy breasts are better than wine, Cant. 1:2
For winter is now past, the rain is over and gone. Cant. 2:11
My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hollow places of the wall, shew me thy face, let thy voice sound in my ears: for thy voice is sweet, and thy face comely. Cant. 2:14
Catch us the little foxes that destroy the vines: for our vineyard hath flourished. Cant. 2:15
The pillars thereof he made of silver, the seat of gold, the going up of purple: the midst he covered with charity for the daughters of Jerusalem. Cant. 3:10
I sleep, and my heart watcheth: the voice of my beloved knocking: Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is full of dew, and my locks of the drops of the nights. Cant. 5:2
Turn away thy eyes from me, for they have made me flee away. Thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from Galaad. Cant. 6:5
I knew not: my soul troubled me for the chariots of Aminadab. Cant. 6:12
Thy throat like the best wine, worthy for my beloved to drink, and for his lips and his teeth to ruminate. Cant. 7:9
The mandrakes give a smell. In our gates are all fruits: the new and the old, my beloved, I have kept for thee. Cant. 7:13
¤ Who shall give thee to me for my brother, sucking the breasts of my mother, that I may find thee without, and kiss thee, and now no man may despise me? Cant. 8:1
Put me as a seal upon thy heart, as a seal upon thy arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy as hard as hell, the lamps thereof are fire and flames. Cant. 8:6
Many waters cannot quench charity, neither can the floods drown it: if a man should give all the substance of his house for love, he shall despise it as nothing. Cant. 8:7
The peaceable had a vineyard, in that which hath people: he let out the same to keepers, every man bringeth for the fruit thereof a thousand pieces of silver. Cant. 8:11
My vineyard is before me. A thousand are for thee, the peaceable, and two hundred for them that keep the fruit thereof. Cant. 8:12
For he is found by them that tempt him not: and he sheweth himself to them that have faith in him. Wis. 1:2
For perverse thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise: Wis. 1:3
For wisdom will not enter into a malicious soul, nor dwell in a body subject to sins. Wis. 1:4
For the Holy Spirit of discipline will flee from the deceitful, and will withdraw himself from thoughts that are without understanding, and he shall not abide when iniquity cometh in. Wis. 1:5
For the spirit of wisdom is benevolent, and will not acquit the evil speaker from his lips: for God is witness of his reins, and he is a true searcher of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue. Wis. 1:6
For the Spirit of the Lord hath filled the whole world: and that which containeth all things, hath knowledge of the voice. Wis. 1:7
For inquisition shall be made into the thoughts of the ungodly, and the hearing of his words shall come to God, to the chastising of his iniquities. Wis. 1:9
For the ear of jealousy heareth all things, and the tumult of murmuring shall not be hid. Wis. 1:10
Keep yourselves, therefore, from murmuring, which profiteth nothing, and refrain your tongue from detraction, for an obscure speech shall not go for nought: and the mouth that belieth, killeth the soul. Wis. 1:11
For God made not death, neither hath he pleasure in the destruction of the living. Wis. 1:13
For he created all things that they might be: and he made the nations of the earth for health: and there is no poison of destruction in them, nor kingdom of hell upon the earth. Wis. 1:14
For justice is perpetual and immortal. Wis. 1:15
¤ For they have said, reasoning with themselves, but not right: The time of our life is short and tedious, and in the end of a man there is no remedy, and no man hath been known to have returned from hell: Wis. 2:1
For we are born of nothing, and after this we shall be as if we had not been: for the breath in our nostrils is smoke: and speech a spark to move our heart, Wis. 2:2
For our time is as the passing of a shadow, and there is no going back of our end: for it is fast sealed, and no man returneth: Wis. 2:5
Let none of us go without his part in luxury: let us every where leave tokens of joy: for this is our portion, and this our lot. Wis. 2:9
But let our strength be the law of justice: for that which is feeble is found to be nothing worth. Wis. 2:11
Let us, therefore, lie in wait for the just, because he is not for our turn, and he is contrary to our doings, and upbraideth us with transgressions of the law, and divulgeth against us the sins of our way of life. Wis. 2:12
He is grievous unto us, even to behold: for his life is not like other men's, and his ways are very different. Wis. 2:15
We are esteemed by him as triflers, and he abstaineth from our ways as from filthiness, and he preferreth the latter end of the just, and glorieth that he hath God for his father. Wis. 2:16
For if he be the true son of God, he will defend him, and will deliver him from the hands of his enemies. Wis. 2:18
Let us condemn him to a most shameful death: for there shall be respect had unto him by his words. Wis. 2:20
These things they thought, and were deceived: for their own malice blinded them. Wis. 2:21
And they knew not the secrets of God, nor hoped for the wages of justice, nor esteemed the honour of holy souls. Wis. 2:22
For God created man incorruptible, and to the image of his own likeness he made him. Wis. 2:23
In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: and their departure was taken for misery: Wis. 3:2
And their going away from us, for utter destruction: but they are in peace. Wis. 3:3
They shall judge nations, and rule over people, and their Lord shall reign for ever. Wis. 3:8
They that trust in him shall understand the truth: and they that are faithful in love, shall rest in him: for grace and peace are to his elect. Wis. 3:9
For he that rejecteth wisdom, and discipline, is unhappy: and their hope is vain, and their labours without fruit, and their works unprofitable. Wis. 3:11
Their offspring is cursed, for happy is the barren: and the undefiled, that hath not known bed in sin, she shall have fruit in the visitation of holy souls. Wis. 3:13
And the eunuch, that hath not wrought iniquity with his hands, nor thought wicked things against God for the precious gift of faith shall be given to him, and a most acceptable lot in the temple of God. Wis. 3:14
For the fruit of good labours is glorious, and the root of wisdom never faileth. Wis. 3:15
For dreadful are the ends of a wicked race. Wis. 3:19
¤ O How beautiful is the chaste generation with glory: for the memory thereof is immortal: because it is known both with God and with men. Wis. 4:1
When it is present, they imitate it: and they desire it, when it hath withdrawn itself, and it triumpheth crowned for ever, winning the reward of undefiled conflicts. Wis. 4:2
And if they flourish in branches for a time, yet standing not fast, they shall be shaken with the wind, and through the force of winds they shall be rooted out. Wis. 4:4
For the branches not being perfect, shall be broken, and their fruits shall be unprofitable, and sour to eat, and fit for nothing. Wis. 4:5
For the children that are born of unlawful beds, are witnesses of wickedness against their parents in their trial. Wis. 4:6
For venerable old age is not that of long time, nor counted by the number of years: but the understanding of a man is grey hairs. Wis. 4:8
For the bewitching of vanity obscureth good things, and the wandering of concupiscence overturneth the innocent mind. Wis. 4:12
For his soul pleased God: therefore he hastened to bring him out of the midst of iniquities: but the people see this, and understand not, nor lay up such things in their hearts: Wis. 4:14
For they shall see the end of the wise man, and shall not understand what God hath designed for him, and why the Lord hath set him in safety. Wis. 4:17
And they shall fall after this without honour, and be a reproach among the dead for ever: for he shall burst them puffed up and speechless, and shall shake them from the foundations, and they shall be utterly laid waste: they shall be in sorrow, and their memory shall perish. Wis. 4:19
Saying within themselves, repenting, and groaning for anguish of spirit: These are they, whom we had sometime in derision, and for a parable of reproach. Wis. 5:3
For the hope of the wicked is as dust, which is blown away with the wind, and as a thin froth which is dispersed by the storm: and a smoke that is scattered abroad by the wind: and as the remembrance of a guest of one day that passeth by. Wis. 5:15
But the just shall live for evermore: and their reward is with the Lord, and the care of them with the most High. Wis. 5:16
Therefore shall they receive a kingdom of glory, and a crown of beauty at the hand of the Lord: for with his right hand he will cover them, and with his holy arm he will defend them. Wis. 5:17
And his zeal will take armour, and he will arm the creature for the revenge of his enemies. Wis. 5:18
He will take equity for an invincible shield: Wis. 5:20
And he will sharpen his severe wrath for a spear, and the whole world shall fight with him against the unwise. Wis. 5:21
For power is given you by the Lord, and strength by the most High, who will examine your works: and search out your thoughts: Wis. 6:4
Horribly and speedily will he appear to you: for a most severe judgment shall be for them that bear rule. Wis. 6:6
For to him that is little, mercy is granted: but the mighty shall be mightily tormented. Wis. 6:7
For God will not except any man's person, neither will he stand in awe of any man's greatness: for he made the little and the great, and he hath equally care of all. Wis. 6:8
But a greater punishment is ready for the more mighty. Wis. 6:9
For they that have kept just things justly, shall be justified: and they that have learned these things, shall find what to answer. Wis. 6:11
He that awaketh early to seek her, shall not labour: for he shall find her sitting at his door. Wis. 6:15
To think, therefore, upon her, is perfect understanding: and he that watcheth for her, shall quickly be secure. Wis. 6:16
For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her, and she sheweth herself to them cheerfully in the ways, and meeteth them with all providence. Wis. 6:17
For the beginning of her is the most true desire of discipline. Wis. 6:18
If then your delight be in thrones, and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, love wisdom, that you may reign for ever. Wis. 6:22
Neither will I go with consuming envy: for such a man shall not be partaker of wisdom. Wis. 6:25
For none of the kings had any other beginning of birth. Wis. 7:5
For all men have one entrance into life, and the like going out. Wis. 7:6
Neither did I compare unto her any precious stone: for all gold, in comparison of her, is as a little sand; and silver, in respect to her, shall be counted as clay. Wis. 7:9
I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for her light cannot be put out. Wis. 7:10
And I rejoiced in all these: for this wisdom went before me, and I knew not that she was the mother of them all. Wis. 7:12
For she is an infinite treasure to men: which they that use, become the friends of God, being commended for the gift of discipline. Wis. 7:14
For in his hand are both we, and our words, and all wisdom, and the knowledge and skill of works. Wis. 7:16
For he hath given me the true knowledge of the things that are: to know the disposition of the whole world, and the virtues of the elements, Wis. 7:17
And all such things as are hid, and not foreseen, I have learned: for wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught me. Wis. 7:21
For in her is the spirit of understanding; holy, one, manifold, subtile, eloquent, active, undefiled, sure, sweet, loving that which is good, quick, which nothing hindereth, beneficent, Wis. 7:22
For wisdom is more active than all active things; and reacheth everywhere, by reason of her purity. Wis. 7:24
For she is a vapour of the power of God, and a certain pure emmanation of the glory of the Almighty God: and therefore no defiled thing cometh into her. Wis. 7:25
For she is the brightness of eternal light, and the unspotted mirror of God's majesty, and the image of his goodness. Wis. 7:26
For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom. Wis. 7:28
For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of the stars: being compared with the light, she is found before it. Wis. 7:29
For after this cometh night, but no evil can overcome wisdom. Wis. 7:30
Her have I loved, and have sought her out from my youth, and have desired to take her for my spouse, and I became a lover of her beauty. Wis. 8:2
For it is she that teacheth the knowledge of God and is the chooser of his works. Wis. 8:4
And if a man love justice: her labours have great virtues: for she teacheth temperance, and prudence, and justice, and fortitude, which are such things as men can have nothing more profitable in life. Wis. 8:7
For her sake I shall have glory among the multitude, and honour with the ancients, though I be young: Wis. 8:10
They shall wait for me when I hold my peace, and they shall look upon me when I speak; and if I talk much, they shall lay their hands on their mouth. Wis. 8:12
When I go into my house, I shall repose myself with her: for her conversation hath no bitterness, nor her company any tediousness, but joy and gladness. Wis. 8:16
For I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid, a weak man, and of short time, and falling short of the understanding of judgment and laws. Wis. 9:5
For if one be perfect among the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded. Wis. 9:6
For she knoweth and understandeth all things, and shall lead me soberly in my works, and shall preserve me by her power. Wis. 9:11
For who among men is he that can know the counsel of God? or who can think what the will of God is? Wis. 9:13
For the thoughts of mortal men are fearful, and our counsels uncertain. Wis. 9:14
For the corruptible body is a load upon the soul, and the earthly habitation presseth down the mind that museth upon many things. Wis. 9:15
For by wisdom they were healed, whosoever have pleased thee, O Lord, from the beginning. Wis. 9:19
For whose cause, when water destroyed the earth, wisdom healed it again, directing the course of the just by contemptible wood. Wis. 10:4
Moreover, when the nations had conspired together to consent to wickedness, she knew the just, and preserved him without blame to God, and kept him strong against the compassion for his son. Wis. 10:5
Whose land, for a testimony of their wickedness, is desolate, and smoketh to this day, and the trees bear fruits that ripen not, and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an incredulous soul. Wis. 10:7
For regarding not wisdom, they did not only slip in this, that they were ignorant of good things; but they left also unto men a memorial of their folly, so that in the things in which they sinned, they could not so much as lie hid. Wis. 10:8
And she rendered to the just the wages of their labours, and conducted them in a wonderful way: and she was to them for a covert by day, and for the light of stars by night: Wis. 10:17
For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made the tongues of infants eloquent. Wis. 10:21
For by what things their enemies were punished, when their drink failed them, while the children of Israel abounded therewith, and rejoiced: Wis. 11:5
For instead of a fountain of an ever running river, thou gavest human blood to the unjust. Wis. 11:7
And whilst they were diminished for a manifest reproof of their murdering the infants, thou gavest to thine abundant water unlooked for: Wis. 11:8
For when they were tried, and chastised with mercy, they knew how the wicked were judged with wrath, and tormented. Wis. 11:10
For thou didst admonish and try them as a father: but the others, as a severe king, thou didst examine and condemn. Wis. 11:11
For whether absent or present, they were tormented alike. Wis. 11:12
For a double affliction came upon them, and a groaning for the remembrance of things past. Wis. 11:13
For when they heard that by their punishments the others were benefited, they remembered the Lord, wondering at the end of what was come to pass. Wis. 11:14
For whom they scorned before, when he was thrown out at the time of his being wickedly exposed to perish, him they admired in the end, when they saw the event: their thirsting being unlike to that of the just. Wis. 11:15
But for the foolish devices of their iniquity, because some being deceived worshipped dumb serpents and worthless beasts, thou didst send upon them a multitude of dumb beasts for vengeance: Wis. 11:16
For thy almighty hand, which made the world of matter without form, was not unable to send upon them a multitude of bears, or fierce lions, Wis. 11:18
For great power always belonged to thee alone: and who shall resist the strength of thy arm? Wis. 11:22
For the whole world before thee is as the least grain of the balance, and as a drop of the morning dew, that falleth down upon the earth. Wis. 11:23
But thou hast mercy upon all, because thou canst do all things, and overlookest the sins of men for the sake of repentance. Wis. 11:24
For thou lovest all things that are, and hatest none of the things which thou hast made: for thou didst not appoint, or make any thing hating it. Wis. 11:25
For those ancient inhabitants of thy holy land, whom thou didst abhor, Wis. 12:3
For it was a cursed seed from the beginning: neither didst thou for fear of any one give pardon to their sins. Wis. 12:11
For who shall say to thee: What hast thou done? or who shall withstand thy judgment? or who shall come before thee to be a revenger of wicked men? or who shall accuse thee, if the nations perish, which thou hast made ? Wis. 12:12
For there is no other God but thou, who hast care of all, that thou shouldst shew that thou dost not give judgment unjustly. Wis. 12:13
For so much then, as thou art just, thou orderest all things justly: thinking it not agreeable to thy power, to condemn him who deserveth not to be punished. Wis. 12:15
For thy power is the beginning of justice: and because thou art Lord of all, thou makest thyself gracious to all. Wis. 12:16
For thou shewest thy power, when men will not believe thee to be absolute in power, and thou convincest the boldness of them that know thee not. Wis. 12:17
But thou being master of power, judgest with tranquillity, and with great favour disposest of us: for thy power is at hand when thou wilt. Wis. 12:18
But thou hast taught thy people by such works, that they must be just and humane, and hast made thy children to be of a good hope: because in judging, thou givest place for repentance for sins. Wis. 12:19
For if thou didst punish the enemies of thy servants, and that deserved to die, with so great deliberation, giving them time and place whereby they might be changed from their wickedness: Wis. 12:20
Therefore whereas thou chastisest us, thou scourgest our enemies very many ways, to the end that when we judge we may think on thy goodness: and when we are judged, we may hope for thy mercy. Wis. 12:22
For they went astray for a long time in the ways of error, holding those things for gods which are the most worthless among beasts, living after the manner of children without understanding. Wis. 12:24
For seeing, with indignation, that they suffered by those very things which they took for gods, when they were destroyed by the same, they acknowledged him the true God, whom in time past they denied that they knew: for which cause the end also of their condemnation came upon them. Wis. 12:27
With whose beauty, if they, being delighted, took them to be gods: let them know how much the Lord of them is more beautiful than they: for the first author of beauty made all those things. Wis. 13:3
For by the greatness of the beauty, and of the creature, the creator of them may be seen, so as to be known thereby. Wis. 13:5
But yet as to these they are less to be blamed. For they perhaps err, seeking God, and desirous to find him. Wis. 13:6
For being conversant among his works, they search: and they are persuaded that the things are good which are seen. Wis. 13:7
For if they were able to know so much as to make a judgment of the world: how did they not more easily find out the Lord thereof? Wis. 13:9
Or if an artist, a carpenter, hath cut down a tree proper for his use in the wood, and skilfully taken off all the bark thereof, and with his art, diligently formeth a vessel profitable for the common uses of life, Wis. 13:11
And taking what was left thereof, which is good for nothing, being a crooked piece of wood, and full of knots, carveth it diligently when he hath nothing else to do, and by the skill of his art fashioneth it, and maketh it like the image of a man: Wis. 13:13
And maketh a convenient dwelling place for it, and setting it in a wall, and fastening it with iron, Wis. 13:15
Providing for it, lest it should fall, knowing that it is unable to help itself: for it is an image, and hath need of help. Wis. 13:16
And for health he maketh supplication to the weak, and for life prayeth to that which is dead, and for help calleth upon that which is unprofitable: Wis. 13:18
And for a good journey he petitioneth him that cannot walk: and for getting, and for working, and for the event of all things he asketh him that is unable to do any thing. Wis. 13:19
For this the desire of gain devised, and the workman built it by his skill. Wis. 14:2
But thy providence, O Father, governeth it: for thou hast made a way even in the sea, and a most sure path among the waves, Wis. 14:3
For blessed is the wood, by which justice cometh Wis. 14:7
For that which is made, together with him that made it, shall suffer torments. Wis. 14:10
For the beginning of fornication is the devising of idols: and the invention of them is the corruption of life. Wis. 14:12
For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever. Wis. 14:13
For by the vanity of men they came into the world: and therefore they shall be found to come shortly to an end. Wis. 14:14
For a father being afflicted with bitter grief, made to himself the image of his son, who was quickly taken away: and him who then had died as a man, he began now to worship as a god, and appointed him rites and sacrifices among his servants. Wis. 14:15
For he being willing to please him that employed him, laboured with all his art to make the resemblance in the best manner. Wis. 14:19
And the multitude of men, carried away by the beauty of the work, took him now for a god, that a little before was but honoured as a man. Wis. 14:20
And this was the occasion of deceiving human life: for men serving either their affection, or their kings, gave the incommunicable name to stones and wood. Wis. 14:21
And it was not enough for them to err about the knowledge of God, but whereas they lived in a great war of ignorance, they call so many and so great evils peace. Wis. 14:22
For either they sacrifice their own children, or use hidden sacrifices, or keep watches full of madness, Wis. 14:23
For the worship of abominable idols is the cause, and the beginning and end of all evil. Wis. 14:27
For either they are mad when they are merry: or they prophesy lies, or they live unjustly, or easily forswear themselves. Wis. 14:28
For whilst they trust in idols, which are without life, though they swear amiss, they look not to be hurt. Wis. 14:29
But for both these things they shall be justly punished, because they have thought not well of God, giving heed to idols, and have sworn unjustly, in guile despising justice. Wis. 14:30
For it is not the power of them, by whom they swear, but the just vengeance of sinners always punisheth the transgression of the unjust. Wis. 14:31
For if we sin, we are thine, knowing thy greatness: and if we sin not, we know that we are counted with thee. Wis. 15:2
For to know thee is perfect justice: and to know thy justice, and thy power, is the root of immortality. Wis. 15:3
For the invention of mischievous men hath not deceived us, nor the shadow of a picture, a fruitless labour, a graven figure with divers colours, Wis. 15:4
The potter also tempering soft earth, with labour fashioneth every vessel for our service, and of the same clay he maketh both vessels that are for clean uses, and likewise such as serve to the contrary: but what is the use of these vessels, the potter is the judge. Wis. 15:7
And of the same clay by a vain labour he maketh a god: he who a little before was made of earth himself, and a little after returneth to the same out of which he was taken, when his life, which was lent him, shall be called for again. Wis. 15:8
For his heart is ashes, and his hope vain earth and his life more base than clay: Wis. 15:10
For that man knoweth that he offendeth above all others, who of earthly matter maketh brittle vessels, and graven gods. Wis. 15:13
For they have esteemed all the idols of the heathens for gods, which neither have the use of eyes to see, nor noses to draw breath, nor ears to hear, nor fingers of hands to handle, and as for their feet, they are slow to walk. Wis. 15:15
For man made them: and he that borroweth his own breath, fashioned them. For no man can make a god like to himself. Wis. 15:16
For being mortal himself, he formeth a dead thing with his wicked hands. For he is better than they whom he worshippeth, because he indeed hath lived, though he were mortal, but they never. Wis. 15:17
¤ For these things, and by the like things to these, they were worthily punished, and were destroyed by a multitude of beasts. Wis. 16:1
Instead of which punishment, dealing well with thy people, thou gavest them their desire of delicious food, of a new taste, preparing for them quails for their meat: Wis. 16:2
To the end, that they indeed desiring food, by means of those things that were shewn and sent among them, might loath even that which was necessary to satisfy their desire. But these, after suffering want for a short time, tasted a new meat. Wis. 16:3
For it was requisite that inevitable destruction should come upon them that exercised tyranny: but to these it should only be shewn how their enemies were destroyed. Wis. 16:4
For when the fierce rage of beasts came upon these, they were destroyed by the bitings of crooked serpents. Wis. 16:5
But thy wrath endured not for ever, but they were troubled for a short time for their correction, having a sign of salvation, to put them in remembrance of the commandment of thy law. Wis. 16:6
For he that turned to it, was not healed by that which he saw, but by thee, the Saviour of all. Wis. 16:7
For the bitings of locusts, and of flies, killed them, and there was found no remedy for their life: because they were worthy to be destroyed by such things. Wis. 16:9
But not even the teeth of venomous serpents overcame thy children: for thy mercy came and healed them. Wis. 16:10
For they were examined for the remembrance of thy words, and were quickly healed, lest falling into deep forgetfulness, they might not be able to use thy help. Wis. 16:11
For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaster, that healed them, but thy word, O Lord, which healeth all things. Wis. 16:12
For it is thou, O Lord, that hast power of life and death, and leadest down to the gates of death, and bringest back again: Wis. 16:13
For the wicked that denied to know thee, were scourged by the strength of thy arm, being persecuted by strange waters, and hail, and rain, and consumed by fire. Wis. 16:16
And which was wonderful, in water, which extinguisheth all things, the fire had more force: for the world fighteth for the just. Wis. 16:17
For at one time the fire was mitigated, that the beasts which were sent against the wicked might not be burnt, but that they might see, and perceive that they were persecuted by the judgment of God. Wis. 16:18
For thy sustenance shewed thy sweetness to thy children, and serving every man's will, it was turned to what every man liked. Wis. 16:21
For the creature serving thee, the Creator, is made fierce against the unjust for their punishment: and abateth its strength for the benefit of them that trust in thee. Wis. 16:24
For that which could not be destroyed by fire, being warmed with a little sunbeam, presently melted away: Wis. 16:27
For the hope of the unthankful shall melt away as the winter's ice, and shall run off as unprofitable water. Wis. 16:29
¤ For thy judgments, O Lord, are great, and thy words cannot be expressed: therefore undisciplined souls have erred. Wis. 17:1
For while the wicked thought to be able to have dominion over the holy nation, they themselves being fettered with the bonds of darkness, and a long night, shut up in their houses, lay there exiled from the eternal providence. Wis. 17:2
For neither did the den that held them, keep them from fear: for noises coming down troubled them, and sad visions appearing to them, affrighted them. Wis. 17:4
For they who promised to drive away fears and troubles from a sick soul, were sick themselves of a fear worthy to be laughed at. Wis. 17:8
For though no terrible thing disturbed them: yet being scared with the passing by of beasts, and hissing of serpents, they died for fear and denying that they saw the air, which could by no means be avoided. Wis. 17:9
For whereas wickedness is fearful, it beareth witness of its condemnation: for a troubled conscience always forecasteth grievous things. Wis. 17:10
For fear is nothing else but a yielding up of the succours from thought. Wis. 17:11
Were sometimes molested with the fear of monsters, sometimes fainted away, their soul failing them: for a sudden and unlooked for fear was come upon them. Wis. 17:14
For if any one were a husbandman, or a shepherd, or a labourer in the field, and was suddenly overtaken, he endured a necessity from which he could not fly. Wis. 17:16
For they were all bound together with one chain of darkness. Whether it were a whistling wind, or the melodious voice of birds, among the spreading branches of trees, or a fall of water running down with violence, Wis. 17:17
Or the mighty noise of stones tumbling down, or the running that could not be seen of beasts playing together, or the roaring voice of wild beasts, or a rebounding echo from the highest mountains: these things made them to swoon for fear. Wis. 17:18
For the whole world was enlightened, with a clear light, and none were hindered in their labours. Wis. 17:19
Therefore they received a burning pillar of fire for a guide of the way which they knew not, and thou gavest them a harmless sun of a good entertainment. Wis. 18:3
For that night was known before by our fathers, that assuredly knowing what oaths they had trusted to, they might be of better courage. Wis. 18:6
For as thou didst punish the adversaries so thou didst also encourage and glorify us. Wis. 18:8
For the just children of good men were offering sacrifice secretly, and they unanimously ordered a law of justice: that the just should receive both good and evil alike, singing now the praises of the fathers. Wis. 18:9
But on the other side there sounded an ill according cry of the enemies, and a lamentable mourning was heard for the children that were bewailed. Wis. 18:10
So all alike had innumerable dead, with one kind of death. Neither were the living sufficient to bury them: for in one moment the noblest offspring of them was destroyed. Wis. 18:12
For whereas they would not believe any thing before by reason of the enchantments, then first upon the destruction of the firstborn, they acknowledged the people to be of God. Wis. 18:13
For while all things were in quiet silence, and the night was in the midst of her course, Wis. 18:14
Then suddenly visions of evil dreams troubled them, and fears unlooked for came upon them. Wis. 18:17
For the visions that troubled them foreshewed these things, lest they should perish, and not know why they suffered these evils. Wis. 18:19
For a blameless man made haste to pray for the people, bringing forth the shield of his ministry, prayer, and by incense making supplication, withstood the wrath, and put an end to the calamity, shewing that he was thy servant. Wis. 18:21
For when they were now fallen down dead by heaps one upon another, he stood between and stayed the assault, and cut off the way to the living. Wis. 18:23
For in the priestly robe which he wore, was the whole world: and in the four rows of the stones, the glory of the fathers was graven, and thy majesty was written upon the diadem of his head. Wis. 18:24
And to these the destroyer gave place, and was afraid of them: for the proof only of wrath was enough. Wis. 18:25
¤ But as to the wicked, even to the end there came upon them wrath without mercy. For he knew before also what they would do: Wis. 19:1
For when they had given them leave to depart and had sent them away with great care, they repented and pursued after them. Wis. 19:2
For whilst they were yet mourning, and lamenting at the graves of the dead, they took up another foolish device: and pursued them as fugitives whom they had pressed to be gone: Wis. 19:3
For a necessity, of which they were worthy, brought them to this end: and they lost the remembrance of those things which had happened, that their punishment might fill up what was wanting to their torments: Wis. 19:4
For every creature, according to its kind was fashioned again as from the beginning, obeying thy commandments, that thy children might be kept without hurt. Wis. 19:6
For a cloud overshadowed their camp and where water was before, dry land appeared, and in the Red Sea a way without hindrance, and out of the great deep a springing field: Wis. 19:7
For they fed on their food like horses, and they skipped like lambs, praising thee, O Lord, who hadst delivered them. Wis. 19:9
For they were yet mindful of those things which had been done in the time of their sojourning, how the ground brought forth flies instead of cattle, and how the river cast up a multitude of frogs instead of fishes. Wis. 19:10
And at length they saw a new generation of birds, when being led by their appetite, they asked for delicate meats. Wis. 19:11
For to satisfy their desire, the quail came up to them from the sea: and punishments came upon the sinners, not without foregoing signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness. Wis. 19:12
For they exercised a more detestable inhospitality than any: others indeed received not strangers unknown to them, but these brought their guests into bondage that had deserved well of them. Wis. 19:13
And not only so, but in another respect also they were worse: for the others against their will received the strangers. Wis. 19:14
For while the elements are changed in themselves, as in an instrument the sound of the quality is changed, yet all keep their sound: which may clearly be perceived by the very sight. Wis. 19:17
For the things of the land were turned into things of the water: and the things that before swam in the water passed upon the land. Wis. 19:18
On the other side, the flames wasted not the flesh of corruptible animals walking therein, neither did they melt that good food, which was apt to melt as ice. For in all things thou didst magnify thy people, O Lord, and didst honour them, and didst not despise them, but didst assist them at all times, and in every place. Wis. 19:20
For he that is without fear, cannot be justified: for the wrath of his high spirits is his ruin. Sir. 1:28
A patient man shall bear for a time, and afterwards joy shall be restored to him. Sir. 1:29
A good understanding will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many shall declare his wisdom. Sir. 1:30
For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and discipline: and that which is agreeable to him, Sir. 1:34
¤ Son, when thou comest to the service of God, stand in justice and in fear, and prepare thy soul for temptation. Sir. 2:1
For gold and silver are tried in the fire, but acceptable men in the furnace of humiliation. Sir. 2:5
Ye that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy: and go not aside from him lest ye fall. Sir. 2:7
Ye that fear the Lord hope in him, and mercy shall come to you for your delight. Sir. 2:9
For who hath continued in his commandment, and hath been forsaken? or who hath called upon him, and he despised him? Sir. 2:12
For God is compassionate and merciful, and will forgive sins in the day of tribulation: and he is a protector to all that seek him in truth. Sir. 2:13
For according to his greatness, so also is his mercy with him. Sir. 2:23
For God hath made the father honourable to the children: and seeking the judgment of the mothers, hath confirmed it upon the children. Sir. 3:3
He that loveth God, shall obtain pardon for his sins by prayer, and shall refrain himself from them, and shall be heard in the prayer of days. Sir. 3:4
Glory not in the dishonour of thy father: for his shame is no glory to thee. Sir. 3:12
For the glory of a man is from the honour of his father, and a father without honour is the disgrace of the son. Sir. 3:13
And if his understanding fail, have patience with him, and despise him not when thou art in thy strength: for the relieving of the father shall not be forgotten. Sir. 3:15
For good shall be repaid to thee for the sin of thy mother. Sir. 3:16
For great is the power of God alone, and he is honoured by the humble. Sir. 3:21
Seek not the things that are too high for thee, and search not into things above thy ability: but the things that God hath commanded thee, think on them always, and in many of his works be not curious. Sir. 3:22
For it is not necessary for thee to see with thy eyes those things that are hid. Sir. 3:23
For many things are shewn to thee above the understanding of men. Sir. 3:25
The congregation of the proud shall not be healed: for the plant of wickedness shall take root in them, and it shall not be perceived. Sir. 3:30
And God provideth for him that sheweth favour: he remembereth him afterwards, and in the time of his fall he shall find a sure stay. Sir. 3:34
Turn not away thy eyes from the poor for fear of anger: and leave not to them that ask of thee to curse thee behind thy back. Sir. 4:5
For the prayer of him that curseth thee in the bitterness of his soul, shall be heard, for he that made him will hear him. Sir. 4:6
And he that loveth her, loveth life: and they that watch for her, shall embrace her sweetness. Sir. 4:13
For she walketh with him in temptation, and at the first she chooseth him. Sir. 4:18
For thy soul be not ashamed to say the truth. Sir. 4:24
For there is a shame that bringeth sin, and there is a shame that bringeth glory and grace. Sir. 4:25
For by the tongue wisdom is discerned: and understanding, and knowledge, and learning by the word of the wise, and steadfastness in the works of justice. Sir. 4:29
Be not ashamed to confess thy sins, but submit not thyself to every man for sin. Sir. 4:31
Strive for justice for thy soul, and even unto death fight for justice, and God will overthrow thy enemies for thee. Sir. 4:33
¤ Set not thy heart upon unjust possessions, and say not: I have enough to live on: for it shall be of no service in the time of vengeance and darkness. Sir. 5:1
And say not: How mighty am I? and who shall bring me under for my deeds? for God will surely take revenge. Sir. 5:3
Say not: I have sinned, and what harm hath befallen me? for the most High is a patient rewarder. Sir. 5:4
For mercy and wrath quickly come from him, and his wrath looketh upon sinners. Sir. 5:7
For his wrath shall come on a sudden, and in the time of vengeance he will destroy thee. Sir. 5:9
Be not anxious for goods unjustly gotten: for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamity and revenge. Sir. 5:10
Winnow not with every wind, and go not into every way: for so is every sinner proved by a double tongue. Sir. 5:11
For confusion and repentance is upon a thief, and an evil mark of disgrace upon the double tongued, but to the whisperer hatred, and enmity, and reproach. Sir. 5:17
¤ Instead of a friend become not an enemy to thy neighbour: for an evil man shall inherit reproach and shame, so shall every sinner that is envious and double tongued. Sir. 6:1
For a wicked soul shall destroy him that hath it, and maketh him to be a joy to his enemies, and shall lead him into the lot of the wicked. Sir. 6:4
For there is a friend for his own occasion, and he will not abide in the day of thy trouble. Sir. 6:8
If he humble himself before thee, and hide himself from thy face, thou shalt have unanimous friendship for good. Sir. 6:12
Come to her as one that plougheth, and soweth, and wait for her good fruits: Sir. 6:19
For in working about her thou shalt labour a little, and shalt quickly eat of her fruits. Sir. 6:20
For the wisdom of doctrine is according to her name, and she is not manifest unto many, but with them to whom she is known, she continueth even to the sight of God. Sir. 6:23
Search for her, and she shall be made known to thee, and when thou hast gotten her, let her not go: Sir. 6:28
For in the latter end thou shalt find rest in her, and she shall be turned to thy joy. Sir. 6:29
Then shall her fetters be a strong defence for thee, and a firm foundation, and her chain a robe of glory: Sir. 6:30
For in her is the beauty of life, and her bands are a healthful binding. Sir. 6:31
Justify not thyself before God, for he knoweth the heart: and desire not to appear wise before the king. Sir. 7:5
Seek not to be made a judge, unless thou have strength enough to extirpate iniquities: lest thou fear the person of the powerful, and lay a stumblingblock for thy integrity. Sir. 7:6
Nor bind sin to sin: for even in one thou shalt not be unpunished. Sir. 7:8
Laugh no man to scorn in the bitterness of his soul: for there is one that humbleth and exalteth, God who seeth all. Sir. 7:12
Be not willing to make any manner of lie: for the custom thereof is not good. Sir. 7:14
Remember wrath, for it will not tarry long. Sir. 7:18
Humble thy spirit very much: for the vengeance on the flesh of the ungodly is fire and worms. Sir. 7:19
Do not transgress against thy friend deferring money, nor despise thy dear brother for the sake of gold. Sir. 7:20
Depart not from a wise and good wife, whom thou hast gotten in the fear of the Lord: for the grace of her modesty is above gold. Sir. 7:21
Hast thou cattle? have an eye to them: and if they be for thy profit, keep them with thee. Sir. 7:24
Remember that thou hadst not been born but through them: and make a return to them as they have done for thee. Sir. 7:30
Give them their portion, as it is commanded thee, of the firstfruits and of purifications: and for thy negligences purify thyself with a few. Sir. 7:34
Be not slow to visit the sick: for by these things thou shalt be confirmed in love. Sir. 7:39
For gold and silver hath destroyed many, and hath reached even to the heart of kings, and perverted them. Sir. 8:3
Despise not a man in his old age; for we also shall become old. Sir. 8:7
For of them thou shalt learn wisdom, and instruction of understanding, and to serve great men without blame. Sir. 8:10
Let not the discourse of the ancients escape thee, for they have learned of their fathers: Sir. 8:11
For of them thou shalt learn understanding, and to give an answer in time of need. Sir. 8:12
Judge not against a judge: for he judgeth according to that which is just. Sir. 8:17
Go not on the way with a bold man, lest he burden thee with his evils: for he goeth according to his own will, and thou shalt perish together with his folly. Sir. 8:18
Quarrel not with a passionate man, and go not into the desert with a bold man: for blood is as nothing in his sight, and where there is no help he will overthrow thee. Sir. 8:19
Advise not with fools, for they cannot love but such things as please them. Sir. 8:20
Before a stranger do no matter of counsel: for thou knowest not what he will bring forth. Sir. 8:21
Look not upon a woman that hath a mind for many: lest thou fall into her snares. Sir. 9:3
For many have perished by the beauty of a woman, and hereby lust is enkindled as a fire. Sir. 9:9
Many by admiring the beauty of another man's wife, have become reprobate, for her conversation burneth as fire. Sir. 9:11
Forsake not an old friend, for the new will not be like to him. Sir. 9:14
Envy not the glory and riches of a sinner: for thou knowest not what his ruin shall be. Sir. 9:16
Know it to be a communication with death: for thou art going in the midst of snares, and walking upon the arms of them that are grieved. Sir. 9:20
Works shall be praised for the hand of the artificers, and the prince of the people for the wisdom of his speech, but the word of the ancients for the sense. Sir. 9:24
There is not a more wicked thing than to love money: for such a one setteth even his own soul to sale: because while he liveth he hath cast away his bowels. Sir. 10:10
For when a man shall die, he shall inherit serpents, and beasts, and worms. Sir. 10:13
Because his heart is departed from him that made him: for pride is the beginning of all sin: he that holdeth it, shall be filled with maledictions, and it shall ruin him in the end. Sir. 10:15
Pride was not made for men: nor wrath for the race of women. Sir. 10:22
The poor man is glorified by his discipline and fear, and there is a man that is honoured for his wealth. Sir. 10:33
Praise not a man for his beauty, neither despise a man for his look. Sir. 11:2
Glory not in apparel at any time, and be not exalted in the day of thy honour: for the works of the Highest only are wonderful, and his works are glorious, and secret, and hidden. Sir. 11:4
My son, meddle not with many matters: and if thou be rich, thou shalt not be free from sin: for if thou pursue after thou shalt not overtake; and if thou run before thou shalt not escape. Sir. 11:10
Yet the eye of God hath looked upon him for good, and hath lifted him up from his low estate, and hath exalted his head: and many have wondered at him, and have glorified God. Sir. 11:13
The gift of God abideth with the just, and his advancement shall have success for ever. Sir. 11:17
For it is easy in the eyes of God on a sudden to make the poor man rich. Sir. 11:23
Say not: I am sufficient for myself: and what shall I be made worse by this? Sir. 11:26
For it is easy before God in the day of death to reward every one according to his ways. Sir. 11:28
Praise not any man before death, for a man is known by his children. Sir. 11:30
Bring not every man into thy house: for many are the snares of the deceitful. Sir. 11:31
For as corrupted bowels send forth stinking breath, and as the partridge is brought into the cage, and as the roe into the snare: so also is the heart of the proud, and as a spy that looketh on the fall of his neighbour. Sir. 11:32
For he lieth in wait and turneth good into evil, and on the elect he will lay a blot. Sir. 11:33
Of one spark cometh a great fire, and of one deceitful man much blood: and a sinful man lieth in wait for blood. Sir. 11:34
Take heed to thyself of a mischievous man, for he worketh evils: lest he bring upon thee reproach for ever. Sir. 11:35
¤ If thou do good, know to whom thou dost it, and there shall be much thanks for thy good deeds. Sir. 12:1
For there is no good for him that is always occupied in evil, and that giveth no alms: for the Highest hateth sinners, and hath mercy on the penitent. Sir. 12:3
For thou shalt receive twice as much evil for all the good thou shalt have done to him: for the Highest also hateth sinners, and will repay vengeance to the ungodly. Sir. 12:7
Never trust thy enemy for as a brass pot his wickedness rusteth: Sir. 12:10
For an hour he will abide with thee: but if thou begin to decline, he will not endure it. Sir. 12:14
What agreement shall the earthen pot have with the kettle? for if they knock one against the other, it shall be broken. Sir. 13:3
If thou have any thing, he will live with thee, and will make thee bare, and he will not be sorry for thee. Sir. 13:6
Humble thyself to God, and wait for his hands. Sir. 13:9
If thou be invited by one that is mightier, withdraw thyself: for so he will invite thee the more. Sir. 13:12
Affect not to speak with him as an equal, and believe not his many words: for by much talk he will sift thee, and smiling will examine thee concerning thy secrets. Sir. 13:14
Take heed to thyself, and attend diligently to what thou hearest: for thou walkest in danger of thy ruin. Sir. 13:16
Love God all thy life, and call upon him for thy salvation. Sir. 13:18
The heart of a man changeth his countenance, either for good, or for evil. Sir. 13:31
Riches are not comely for a covetous man and a niggard, and what should an envious man do with gold? Sir. 14:3
He that gathereth together by wronging his own soul, gathereth for others, and another will squander away his goods in rioting. Sir. 14:4
Remember that death is not slow, and that the covenant of hell hath been shewn to thee: for the covenant of this world shall surely die. Sir. 14:12
Before thy death work justice: for in hell there is no finding food. Sir. 14:17
He that lodgeth near her house, and fastening a pin in her walls shall set up his tent nigh unto her, where good things shall rest in his lodging for ever. Sir. 14:25
But foolish men shall not obtain her, and wise men shall meet her, foolish men shall not see her: for she is far from pride and deceit. Sir. 15:7
For wisdom came forth from God: for praise shall be with the wisdom of God, and shall abound in a faithful mouth, and the sovereign Lord will give praise unto it. Sir. 15:10
Say not: It is through God, that she is not with me: for do not thou the things that he hateth. Sir. 15:11
Say not: He hath caused me to err: for he hath no need of wicked men. Sir. 15:12
If thou wilt keep the commandments and perform acceptable fidelity for ever, they shall preserve thee. Sir. 15:16
For the wisdom of God is great, and he is strong in power, seeing all men without ceasing. Sir. 15:19
For he desireth not a multitude of faithless and unprofitable children. Sir. 15:22
For better is one that feareth God, than a thousand ungodly children. Sir. 16:3
The ancient giants did not obtain pardon for their sins, who were destroyed trusting to their own strength: Sir. 16:8
And he spared not the place where Lot sojourned, but abhorred them for the pride of their word. Sir. 16:9
For mercy and wrath are with him. He is mighty to forgive, and to pour out indignation: Sir. 16:12
All mercy shall make a place for every man according to the merit of his works, and according to the wisdom of his sojournment. Sir. 16:15
In such a multitude I shall not be known: for what is my soul in such an immense creation? Sir. 16:17
For many of his works are hidden, but the works of his justice who shall declare? or who shall endure? for the testament is far from some, and the examination of all is in the end. Sir. 16:22
He beautified their works for ever, they have neither hungered, nor laboured, and they have not ceased from their works. Sir. 16:27
Moreover he gave them instructions, and the law of life for an inheritance. Sir. 17:9
For all things cannot be in men, because the son of man is not immortal, and they are delighted with the vanity of evil. Sir. 17:29
¤ He that liveth for ever created all things together. God only shall be justified, and he remaineth an invincible king for ever. Sir. 18:1
For who shall search out his glorious acts? Sir. 18:3
Let nothing hinder thee from praying always, and be not afraid to be justified even to death: for the reward of God continueth for ever. Sir. 18:22
Take no pleasure in riotous assemblies, be they ever so small: for their concertation is continual. Sir. 18:32
Make not thyself poor by borrowing to contribute to feasts when thou hast nothing in thy purse: for thou shalt be an enemy to thy own life. Sir. 18:33
And he that joineth himself to harlots, will be wicked. Rottenness and worms shall inherit him, and he shall be lifted up for a greater example, and his soul shall be taken away out of the number. Sir. 19:3
For he will hearken to thee, and will watch thee, and as it were defending thy sin he will hate thee, and so will he be with thee always. Sir. 19:9
Reprove thy neighbour, for it may be he hath not said it: and if he hath said it, that he may not say it again. Sir. 19:14
Admonish thy friend: for there is often a fault committed. Sir. 19:15
For who is there that hath not offended with his tongue? Admonish thy neighbour before thou threaten him. Sir. 19:17
And give place to the fear of the most High: for the fear of God is all wisdom, and therein is to fear God, and the disposition of the law is in all wisdom. Sir. 19:18
And if he be hindered from sinning for want of power, if he shall find opportunity to do evil, he will do it. Sir. 19:25
How good is it, when thou art reproved, to shew repentance! for so thou shalt escape wilful sin. Sir. 20:4
There is that buyeth much for a small price, and restoreth the same sevenfold. Sir. 20:12
The gift of the fool shall do thee no good: for his eyes are sevenfold. Sir. 20:14
A fool shall have no friend, and there shall be no thanks for his good deeds. Sir. 20:17
For they that eat his bread, are of a false tongue. How often, and how many will laugh him to scorn! Sir. 20:18
For he doth not distribute with right understanding that which was to be had: in like manner also that which was not to be had. Sir. 20:19
A parable coming out of a fool's mouth shall be rejected: for he doth not speak it in due season. Sir. 20:22
There is that for bashfulness promiseth to his friend, and maketh him his enemy for nothing. Sir. 20:25
¤ My son, hast thou sinned? do so no more: but for thy former sins also pray that they may be forgiven thee. Sir. 21:1
Flee from sins as from the face of a serpent: for if thou comest near them, they will take hold of thee. Sir. 21:2
All iniquity is like a two-edged sword, there is no remedy for the wound thereof. Sir. 21:4
The prayer out of the mouth of the poor shall reach the ears of God, and judgment shall come for him speedily. Sir. 21:6
Weep for the dead, for his light hath failed: and weep for the fool, for his understanding faileth. Sir. 22:10
Weep but a little for the dead, for he is at rest. Sir. 22:11
For the wicked life of a wicked fool is worse than death. Sir. 22:12
The mourning for the dead is seven days: but for a fool and an ungodly man all the days of their life. Sir. 22:13
Although thou hast drawn a sword at a friend, despair not: for there may be a returning. To a friend, Sir. 22:26
If thou hast opened a sad mouth, fear not, for there may be a reconciliation: except upbraiding, and reproach, and pride, and disclosing of secrets, or a treacherous wound: for in all these cases a friend will flee away. Sir. 22:27
Let not thy mouth be accustomed to swearing: for in it there are many falls. Sir. 23:9
And let not the naming of God be usual in thy mouth, and meddle not with the names of saints, for thou shalt not escape free from them. Sir. 23:10
For as a slave daily put to the question, is never without a blue mark: so every one that sweareth, and nameth, shall not be wholly pure from sin. Sir. 23:11
And if he swear in vain, he shall not be justified: for his house shall be filled with his punishment. Sir. 23:14
For from the merciful all these things shall be taken away, and they shall not wallow in sins. Sir. 23:16
Let not thy mouth be accustomed to indiscreet speech: for therein is the word of sin. Sir. 23:17
Remember thy father and thy mother, for thou sittest in the midst of great men: Sir. 23:18
And he understandeth not that his eye seeth all things, for such a man's fear driveth from him the fear of God, and the eyes of men fearing him: Sir. 23:27
For all things were known to the Lord God, before they were created: so also after they were perfected he beholdeth all things. Sir. 23:29
For first she hath been unfaithful to the law of the most High: and secondly, she hath offended against her husband: thirdly, she hath fornicated in adultery, and hath gotten her children of another man. Sir. 23:33
It is great glory to follow the Lord: for length of days shall be received from him. Sir. 23:38
For my spirit is sweet above honey, and my inheritance above honey and the honeycomb. Sir. 24:27
He appointed to David his servant to raise up of him a most mighty king, and sitting on the throne of glory for ever. Sir. 24:34
For her thoughts are more vast than the sea, and her counsels more deep than the great ocean. Sir. 24:39
For I make doctrine to shine forth to all as the morning light, and I will declare it afar off. Sir. 24:44
See ye that I have not laboured for myself only, but for all that seek out the truth. Sir. 24:47
O how comely is judgment for a grey head, and for ancients to know counsel! Sir. 25:6
O how comely is wisdom for the aged, and understanding and counsel to men of honour! Sir. 25:7
Look not upon a woman's beauty, and desire not a woman for beauty. Sir. 25:28
¤ Happy is the husband of a good wife: for the number of his years is double. Sir. 26:1
A good wife is a good portion, she shall be given in the portion of them that fear God, to a man for his good deeds. Sir. 26:3
As the sun when it riseth to the world in the high places of God, so is the beauty of a good wife for the ornament of her house. Sir. 26:21
And he that passeth over from justice to sin, God hath prepared such an one for the sword. Sir. 26:27
Praise not a man before he speaketh, for this is the trial of men. Sir. 27:8
If thou followest justice, thou shalt obtain her: and shalt put her on as a long robe of honour, and thou shalt dwell with her: and she shall protect thee for ever, and in the day of acknowledgment thou shalt find a strong foundation. Sir. 27:9
The lion always lieth in wait for prey: so do sins for them that work iniquities. Sir. 27:11
For as a man that destroyeth his friend, so also is he that destroyeth the friendship of his neighbour. Sir. 27:20
Follow after him no more, for he is gone afar off, he is fled, as a roe escaped out of the snare because his soul is wounded. Sir. 27:22
He that diggeth a pit, shall fall into it: and he that setteth a stone for his neighbour, shall stumble upon it: and he that layeth a snare for another, shall perish in it. Sir. 27:29
Mockery and reproach are of the proud, and vengeance as a lion shall lie in wait for him. Sir. 27:31
He hath no mercy on a man like himself, and doth he entreat for his own sins? Sir. 28:4
He that is but flesh, nourisheth anger, and doth he ask forgiveness of God? who shall obtain pardon for his sins? Sir. 28:5
For corruption and death hang over in his commandments. Sir. 28:7
For a passionate man kindleth strife, and a sinful man will trouble his friends, and bring in debate in the midst of them that are at peace. Sir. 28:11
For as the wood of the forest is, so the fire burneth, and as a man's strength is, so shall his anger be, and according to his riches he shall increase his anger. Sir. 28:12
The whisperer and the double tongued is accursed: for he hath troubled many that were at peace. Sir. 28:15
For its yoke is a yoke of iron: and its bands are bands of brass. Sir. 28:24
Its continuance shall not be for a long time, but it shall possess the ways of the unjust: and the just shall not be burnt with its flame. Sir. 28:26
Melt down thy gold and silver, and make a balance for thy words, and a just bridle for thy mouth: Sir. 28:29
And take heed lest thou slip with thy tongue, and fall in the sight of thy enemies who lie in wait for thee, and thy fall be incurable unto death. Sir. 28:30
Keep thy word, and deal faithfully with him: and thou shalt always find that which is necessary for thee. Sir. 29:3
But if not, he will defraud him of his money, and he shall get him for an enemy without cause. Sir. 29:8
Lose thy money for thy brother and thy friend: and hide it not under a stone to be lost. Sir. 29:13
Shut up alms in the heart of the poor, and it shall obtain help for thee against all evil. Sir. 29:15
It shall fight for thee against thy enemy. Sir. 29:17
A good man is surety for his neighbour: and he that hath lost shame, will leave him to himself. Sir. 29:18
Forget not the kindness of thy surety: for he hath given his life for thee. Sir. 29:19
A man is surety for his neighbour: and when he hath lost all shame, he shall forsake him. Sir. 29:22
The chief thing for man's life is water and bread, and clothing, and a house to cover shame. Sir. 29:27
It is a miserable life to go as a guest from house to house: for where a man is a stranger, he shall not deal confidently, nor open his mouth. Sir. 29:30
Give place to the honourable presence of my friends: for I want my house, my brother being to be lodged with me. Sir. 29:33
His father is dead, and he is as if he were not dead: for he hath left one behind him that is like himself. Sir. 30:4
For he left behind him a defender of his house against his enemies, and one that will requite kindness to his friends. Sir. 30:6
For the souls of his sons he shall bind up his wounds, and at every cry his bowels shall be troubled. Sir. 30:7
What good shall an offering do to an idol? for it can neither eat, nor smell: Sir. 30:19
For sadness hath killed many, and there is no profit in it. Sir. 30:25
A cheerful and good heart is always feasting: for his banquets are prepared with diligence. Sir. 30:27
¤ Watching for riches consumeth the flesh, and the thought thereof driveth away sleep. Sir. 31:1
Many have been brought to fall for gold, and the beauty thereof hath been their ruin. Sir. 31:6
Who is he, and we will praise him? for he hath done wonderful things in his life. Sir. 31:9
Leave off first, for manners' sake: and exceed not, lest thou offend. Sir. 31:20
And if thou sittest among many, reach not thy hand out first of all, and be not the first to ask for drink. Sir. 31:21
How sufficient is a little wine for a man well taught, and in sleeping thou shalt not be uneasy with it, and thou shalt feel no pain. Sir. 31:22
Challenge not them that love wine: for wine hath destroyed very many. Sir. 31:30
That thou mayst rejoice for them, and receive a crown as an ornament of grace, and get the honour of the contribution. Sir. 32:3
Speak, thou that art elder: for it becometh thee, Sir. 32:4
Hear in silence, and for thy reverence good grace shall come to thee. Sir. 32:9
Before a storm goeth lightning: and before shamefacedness goeth favour: and for thy reverence good grace shall come to thee. Sir. 32:14
And for all these things bless the Lord, that made thee, and that replenisheth thee with all his good things. Sir. 32:17
In every work of thine regard thy soul in faith: for this is the keeping of the commandments. Sir. 32:27
See that I have not laboured for myself only, but for all that seek discipline. Sir. 33:18
Give not to son or wife, brother or friend, power over thee while thou livest; and give not thy estate to another, lest thou repent, and thou entreat for the same. Sir. 33:20
For it is better that thy children should ask of thee, than that thou look toward the hands of thy children. Sir. 33:22
Fodder, and a wand, and a burden are for an ass: bread, and correction, and work for a slave. Sir. 33:25
Torture and fetters are for a malicious slave: send him to work, that he be not idle: Sir. 33:28
For idleness hath taught much evil. Sir. 33:29
Set him to work: for so it is fit for him. And if he be not obedient, bring him down with fetters, but be not excessive towards any one, and do no grievous thing without judgment. Sir. 33:30
For dreams have deceived many, and they have failed that put their trust in them. Sir. 34:7
Sometimes I have been in danger of death for these things, and I have been delivered by the grace of God. Sir. 34:13
For their hope is on him that saveth them, and the eyes of God are upon them that love him. Sir. 34:15
He that feareth the Lord shall tremble at nothing, and shall not be afraid: for he is his hope. Sir. 34:16
The Lord is only for them that wait upon him in the way of truth and justice. Sir. 34:22
The most High approveth not the gifts of the wicked: neither hath he respect to the oblations of the unjust, nor will he be pacified for sins by the multitude of their sacrifices. Sir. 34:23
So a man that fasteth for his sins, and doth the same again, what doth his humbling himself profit him? who will hear his prayer? Sir. 34:31
And to depart from injustice, is to offer a propitiatory sacrifice for injustices, and a begging of pardon for sins. Sir. 35:3
To depart from iniquity is that which pleaseth the Lord, and to depart from injustice, is an entreaty for sins. Sir. 35:5
For all these things are to be done because of the commandment of God. Sir. 35:7
For the Lord maketh recompense, and will give thee seven times as much. Sir. 35:13
Do not offer wicked gifts, for such he will not receive. Sir. 35:14
And look not upon an unjust sacrifice, for the Lord is judge, and there is not with him respect of person. Sir. 35:15
For from the cheek they go up even to heaven, and the Lord that heareth will not be delighted with them. Sir. 35:19
And the Lord will not be slack, but will judge for the just, and will do judgment: and the Almighty will not have patience with them, that he may crush their back: Sir. 35:22
For as thou hast been sanctified in us in their sight, so thou shalt be magnified among them in our presence, Sir. 36:4
Reward them that patiently wait for thee, that thy prophets may be found faithful: and hear the prayers of thy servants, Sir. 36:18
There is a companion who condoleth with his friend for his belly's sake, and he will take up a shield against the enemy. Sir. 37:5
Consult not with him that layeth a snare for thee, and hide thy counsel from them that envy thee. Sir. 37:7
Every counsellor giveth out counsel, but there is one that is a counsellor for himself. Sir. 37:8
Beware of a counsellor. And know before what need he hath: for he will devise to his own mind: Sir. 37:9
Whose soul is according to thy own soul: and who, when thou shalt stumble in the dark, will be sorry for thee. Sir. 37:16
And establish within thyself a heart of good counsel: for there is no other thing of more worth to thee than it. Sir. 37:17
Grace is not given him from the Lord: for he is deprived of all wisdom. Sir. 37:24
A wise man shall inherit honour among his people, and his name shall live for ever. Sir. 37:29
For all things are not expedient for all, and every kind pleaseth not every soul. Sir. 37:31
For in many meats there will be sickness, and greediness will turn to choler. Sir. 37:33
¤ Honour the physician for the need thou hast of him: for the most High hath created him. Sir. 38:1
For all healing is from God, and he shall receive gifts of the king. Sir. 38:2
For the peace of God is over all the face of the earth. Sir. 38:8
For the Lord created him: and let him not depart from thee, for his works are necessary. Sir. 38:12
For there is a time when thou must fall into their hands: Sir. 38:13
And they shall beseech the Lord, that he would prosper what they give for ease and remedy, for their conversation. Sir. 38:14
And for fear of being ill spoken of weep bitterly for a day, and then comfort thyself in thy sadness. Sir. 38:17
And make mourning for him according to his merit for a day, or two, for fear of detraction. Sir. 38:18
For of sadness cometh death, and it overwhelmeth the strength, and the sorrow of the heart boweth down the neck. Sir. 38:19
Forget it not: for there is no returning, and thou shalt do him no good, and shalt hurt thyself. Sir. 38:22
Remember my judgment: for thine also shall be so: yesterday for me, and to day for thee. Sir. 38:23
He shall pass into strange countries: for he shall try good and evil among men. Sir. 39:5
He will open his mouth in prayer, and will make supplication for his sins. Sir. 39:7
For if it shall please the great Lord, he will fill him with the spirit of understanding: Sir. 39:8
I will yet meditate that I may declare: for I am filled as with a holy transport. Sir. 39:16
For at his commandment favour is shewn, and there is no diminishing of his salvation. Sir. 39:23
There is no saying: What is this, or what is that? for all things shall be sought in their time. Sir. 39:26
Even as he turned the waters into a dry land, and the earth was made dry: and his ways were made plain for their journey: so to sinners they are stumblingblocks in his wrath. Sir. 39:29
Good things were created for the good from the beginning, so for the wicked, good and evil things. Sir. 39:30
The principal things necessary for the life of men, are water, fire, and iron, salt, milk, and bread of flour, and honey, and the cluster of the grape, and oil, and clothing. Sir. 39:31
All these things shall be for good to the holy, so to the sinners and the ungodly they shall be turned into evil. Sir. 39:32
There are spirits that are created for vengeance, and in their fury they lay on grievous torments. Sir. 39:33
Fire, hail, famine, and death, all these were created for vengeance. Sir. 39:35
It is not to be said: This is worse than that: for all shall be well approved in their time. Sir. 39:40
¤ Great labour is created for all men, and a heavy yoke is upon the children of Adam from the day of their coming out of their mother's womb, until the day of their burial into the mother of all. Sir. 40:1
All these things are created for the wicked, and for their sakes came the flood. Sir. 40:10
All bribery, and injustice shall be blotted out, and fidelity shall stand for ever. Sir. 40:12
Grace is like a paradise in blessings, and mercy remaineth for ever. Sir. 40:17
There is no want in the fear of the Lord, and it needeth not to seek for help. Sir. 40:27
My son, in thy lifetime be not indigent: for it is better to die than to want. Sir. 40:29
The life of him that looketh toward another man's table is not to be counted a life: for he feedeth his soul with another man's meat. Sir. 40:30
For among the dead there is no accusing of life. Sir. 41:7
The children will complain of an ungodly father, because for his sake they are in reproach. Sir. 41:10
Take care of a good name: for this shall continue with thee, more than a thousand treasures precious and great. Sir. 41:15
A good life hath its number of days: but a good name shall continue for ever. Sir. 41:16
My children, keep discipline in peace: for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is there in them both? Sir. 41:17
For it is not good to keep all shamefacedness: and all things do not please all men in opinion. Sir. 41:20
The father waketh for the daughter when no man knoweth, and the care for her taketh away his sleep, when she is young, lest she pass away the flower of her age, and when she is married, lest she should be hateful: Sir. 42:9
For from garments cometh a moth, and from a woman the iniquity of a man. Sir. 42:13
For better is the iniquity of a man, than a woman doing a good turn, and a woman bringing shame and reproach. Sir. 42:14
Hath not the Lord made the saints to declare all his wonderful works, which the Lord Almighty hath firmly settled to be established for his glory? Sir. 42:17
For the Lord knoweth all knowledge, and hath beheld the signs of the world, he declareth the things that are past, and the things that are to come, and revealeth the traces of hidden things. Sir. 42:19
All these things live, and remain for ever, and for every use all things obey him. Sir. 42:24
And the moon in all in her season, is for a declaration of times and a sign of the world. Sir. 43:6
What shall we be able to do to glorify him? for the Almighty himself is above all his works. Sir. 43:30
Glorify the Lord as much as ever you can, for he will yet far exceed, and his magnificence is wonderful. Sir. 43:32
Blessing the Lord, exalt him as much as you can; for he is above all praise. Sir. 43:33
When you exalt him put forth all your strength, and be not weary: for you can never go far enough. Sir. 43:34
There are many things hidden from us that are greater than these: for we have seen but a few of his works. Sir. 43:36
And their children for their sakes remain for ever: their seed and their glory shall not be forsaken. Sir. 44:13
And he did in like manner with Isaac for the sake of Abraham his father. Sir. 44:24
And he preserved for him men of mercy, that found grace in the eyes of all flesh. Sir. 44:27
For he heard him, and his voice, and brought him into a cloud. Sir. 45:5
That as he went there might be a sound, and a noise made that might be heard in the temple, for a memorial to the children of his people. Sir. 45:11
Of twisted scarlet the work of an artist, with precious stones cut and set in gold, and graven by the work of a lapidary for a memorial, according to the number of the tribes of Israel. Sir. 45:13
And a crown of gold upon his mitre wherein was engraved Holiness, an ornament of honour: a work of power, and delightful to the eyes for its beauty. Sir. 45:14
No stranger was ever clothed with them, but only his children alone, and his grandchildren for ever. Sir. 45:16
This was made to him for an everlasting testament, and to his seed as the days of heaven, to execute the office of the priesthood, and to have praise, and to glorify his people in his name. Sir. 45:19
He chose him out of all men living, to offer sacrifice to God, incense, and a good savour, for a memorial to make reconciliation for his people: Sir. 45:20
He prepared them bread in the first place unto fulness: for the sacrifices also of the Lord they shall eat, which he gave to him, and to his seed. Sir. 45:26
But he shall not inherit among the people in the land, and he hath no portion among the people: for he himself is his portion and inheritance. Sir. 45:27
And he stood up in the shameful fall of the people: in the goodness and readiness of his soul he appeased God for Israel. Sir. 45:29
Therefore he made to him a covenant of peace, to be the prince of the sanctuary, and of his people, that the dignity of priesthood should be to him and to his seed for ever. Sir. 45:30
Very great for the saving the elect of God, to overthrow the enemies that rose up against them, that he might get the inheritance for Israel. Sir. 46:2
Who before him hath so resisted? for the Lord himself brought the enemies. Sir. 46:4
And the Lord gave strength also to Caleb, and his strength continued even to his old age, so that he went up to the high places of the land, and his seed obtained it for an inheritance: Sir. 46:11
And their name continue for ever, the glory of the holy men remaining unto their children. Sir. 46:15
For he called upon the Lord the Almighty, and he gave strength in his right hand, to take away the mighty warrior, and to set up the horn of his nation. Sir. 47:6
For he destroyed the enemies on every side, and extirpated the Philistines the adversaries unto this day: he broke their horn for ever. Sir. 47:8
The Lord took away his sins, and exalted his horn for ever: and he gave him a covenant of the kingdom, and a throne of glory in Israel. Sir. 47:13
After him arose up a wise son, and for his sake he cast down all the power of the enemies. Sir. 47:14
Solomon reigned in days of peace, and God brought all his enemies under him, that he might build a house in his name, and prepare a sanctuary for ever: O how wise wast thou in thy youth! Sir. 47:15
The countries wondered at thee for thy canticles, and proverbs, and parables, and interpretations, Sir. 47:18
He brought a famine upon them, and they that provoked him in their envy, were reduced to a small number, for they could not endure the commandments of the Lord. Sir. 48:2
For we live only in our life, but after death our name shall not be such. Sir. 48:12
For all this the people repented not, neither did they depart from their sins till they were cast out of their land, and were scattered through all the earth. Sir. 48:16
Ezechias fortified his city, and brought in water into the midst thereof, and he digged a rock with iron, and made a well for water. Sir. 48:19
For Ezechias did that which pleased God, and walked valiantly in the way of David his father, which Isaias, the great prophet, and faithful in the sight of God, had commanded him. Sir. 48:25
He showed what should come to pass for ever, and secret things before they came. Sir. 48:28
For the kings of Juda forsook the law of the most High, and despised the fear of God. Sir. 49:6
For they treated him evil, who was consecrated a prophet from his mother's womb, to overthrow, and pluck up, and destroy, and to build again, and renew. Sir. 49:9
For he made mention of the enemies under the figure of rain, and of doing good to them that shewed right ways. Sir. 49:11
And may the bones of the twelve prophets spring up out of their place: for they strengthened Jacob, and redeemed themselves by strong faith. Sir. 49:12
How shall we magnify Zorobabel? for he was as a signet on the right hand; Sir. 49:13
In like manner Jesus the son of Josedec who in their days built the house, and set up a holy temple to the Lord, prepared for everlasting glory. Sir. 49:14
And let Nehemias be a long time remembered, who raised up for us our walls that were cast down, and set up the gates and the bars, who rebuilt our houses. Sir. 49:15
No man was born upon earth like Henoch: for he also was taken up from the earth. Sir. 49:16
Then the sons of Aaron shouted, they sounded with beaten trumpets, and made a great noise to be heard for a remembrance before God. Sir. 50:18
May he grant us joyfulness of heart, and that there be peace in our days in Israel for ever: Sir. 50:25
For if he do them, he shall be strong to do all things: because the light of God guideth his steps. Sir. 50:31
I will give glory to thy name: for thou hast been a helper and protector to me. Sir. 51:2
They compassed me on every side, and there was no one that would help me. I looked for the succour of men, and there was none. Sir. 51:10
How thou deliverest them that wait for thee, O Lord, and savest them out of the hands of the nations. Sir. 51:12
Thou hast exalted my dwelling place upon the earth and I have prayed for death to pass away. Sir. 51:13

For as a scarecrow in a garden of cucumbers keepeth nothing, so are their gods of wood, and of silver, and laid over with gold. Bar. 6:69

And thou shalt speak my words to them, if perhaps they will hear, and forbear: for they provoke me to anger. Ezec. 2:7
For thou art not sent to a people of a profound speech, and of an unknown tongue, but to the house of Israel: Ezec. 3:5
But the house of Israel will not hearken to thee: because they will not hearken to me: for all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and an obstinate heart. Ezec. 3:7
I have made thy face like an adamant and like flint: fear them not, neither be thou dismayed at their presence: for they are a provoking house. Ezec. 3:9
The spirit also lifted me, and took me up: and I went away in bitterness in the indignation of my spirit: for the hand of the Lord was with me, strengthening me. Ezec. 3:14

And take unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face resolutely against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it: it is a sign to the house of Israel. Ezec. 4:3
And when thou hast accomplished this, thou shalt sleep again upon thy right side, and thou shalt take upon thee the iniquity of the house of Juda forty days: a day for a year, yea, a day for a year I have appointed to thee. Ezec. 4:6
And he said to me: Behold I have given thee neat's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt make thy bread therewith. Ezec. 4:15
And she hath despised my judgments, so as to be more wicked than the Gentiles; and my commandments, more than the countries that are round about her: for they have cast off my judgments, and have not walked in my commandments. Ezec. 5:6
Thus saith the Lord God: Strike with thy hand and stamp with thy foot, and say: Alas, for all the abominations of the evils of the house of Israel: for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. Ezec. 6:11
The time is come, the day is at hand: let not the buyer rejoice: nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the people thereof. Ezec. 7:12
For the seller shall not return to that which he hath sold, although their life be yet among the living. For the vision which regardeth all the multitude thereof, shall not go back: neither shall man be strengthened in the iniquity of his life. Ezec. 7:13
Blow the trumpet, let all be made ready, yet there is none to go to the battle: for my wrath shall be upon all the people thereof. Ezec. 7:14
And such of them as shall flee shall escape: and they shall be in the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them trembling, every one for his iniquity. Ezec. 7:16
And I will give it into the hands of strangers for spoil, and to the wicked of the earth for a prey, and they shall defile it. Ezec. 7:21

When they stood, these stood: and when they were lifted up, these were lifted up: for the spirit of life was in them. Ezec. 10:17
And the spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said to me: Speak: Thus saith the Lord: Thus have you spoken, O house of Israel, for I know the thoughts of your heart. Ezec. 11:5
But as for them whose heart walketh after their scandals and abominations, I will lay their way upon their head, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 11:21
Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a provoking house: who have eyes to see, and see not: and ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a provoking house. Ezec. 12:2
Thou, therefore, O son of man, prepare thee all necessaries for removing, and remove by day in their sight: and thou shalt remove out of thy place to another place in their sight, if so be they will regard it: for they are a provoking house. Ezec. 12:3
In their sight thou shalt be carried out upon men's shoulders, thou shalt be carried out in the dark: thou shalt cover thy face, and shalt not see the ground: for I have set thee for a sign of things to come to the house of Israel. Ezec. 12:6
And say to the people of the land: Thus saith the Lord God to them that dwell in Jerusalem in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread in care, and drink their water in desolation: that the land may become desolate from the multitude that is therein, for the iniquity of all that dwell therein. Ezec. 12:19
For there shall be no more any vain visions, nor doubtful divination in the midst of the children of Israel. Ezec. 12:24
For I the Lord will speak: and what word soever I shall speak, it shall come to pass, and shall not be prolonged any more: but in your days, ye provoking house, I will speak the word, and will do it, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 12:25
Son of man, behold the house of Israel, they that say: The visions that this man seeth, is for many days to come: and this man prophesieth of times afar off. Ezec. 12:27
You have not gone up to face the enemy, nor have you set up a wall for the house of Israel, to stand in battle in the day of the Lord. Ezec. 13:5
Say to them that daub without tempering, that it shall fall: for there shall be an overflowing shower, and I will cause great hailstones to fall violently from above, and a stormy wind to throw it down. Ezec. 13:11
Even the prophets of Israel that prophesy to Jerusalem, and that see visions of peace for her: and there is no peace, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 13:16
And say: Thus saith the Lord God: Woe to them that sew cushions under every elbow: and make pillows for the heads of persons of every age to catch souls: and when they caught the souls of my people, they gave life to their souls. Ezec. 13:18
And they violated me among my people, for a handful of barley, and a piece of bread, to kill souls which should not die, and to save souls alive which should not live, telling lies to my people that believe lies. Ezec. 13:19
For every man of the house of Israel, and every stranger among the proselytes in Israel, if he separate himself from me, and place his idols in his heart, and set the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and come to the prophet to inquire of me by him: I the Lord will answer him by myself. Ezec. 14:7
For thus saith the Lord: Although I shall send in upon Jerusalem my four grievous judgments, the sword, and the famine, and the mischievous beasts, and the pestilence, to destroy out of it man and beast, Ezec. 14:21
Shall wood be taken of it, to do any work, or shall a pin be made of it for any vessel to hang thereon? Ezec. 15:3
Behold it is cast into the fire for fuel: the fire hath consumed both ends thereof, and the midst thereof is reduced to ashes: shall it be useful for any work? Ezec. 15:4
Even when it was whole it was not fit for work: how much less, when the fire hath devoured and consumed it, shall any work be made of it? Ezec. 15:5
And when thou wast born, in the day of thy nativity thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed with water for thy health, nor salted with salt, nor swaddled with clouts. Ezec. 16:4
No eye had pity on thee to do any of these things for thee, out of compassion to thee: but thou wast cast out upon the face of the earth in the abjection of thy soul, in the day that thou wast born. Ezec. 16:5
And thy renown went forth among the nations for thy beauty: for thou wast perfect through my beauty, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 16:14
And my bread which I gave thee, the fine flour, and oil, and honey, wherewith I fed thee, thou hast set before them for a sweet odour; and it was done, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 16:19
And it hath happened in thee contrary to the custom of women in thy fornications, and after thee there shall be no such fornication, for in that thou gavest rewards, and didst not take rewards, the contrary hath been done in thee. Ezec. 16:34
Therefore do thou also bear thy confusion, thou that hast surpassed thy sisters with thy sins, doing more wickedly than they: for they are justified above thee, therefore be thou also confounded, and bear thy shame, thou that hast justified thy sisters. Ezec. 16:52
For thus saith the Lord God: I will deal with thee, as thou hast despised the oath, in breaking the covenant: Ezec. 16:59
And thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed: when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thy elder and thy younger: and I will give them to thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant. Ezec. 16:61
That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and mayest no more open thy mouth because of thy confusion, when I shall be pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 16:63
And he took of the seed of the land, and put it in the ground for seed, that it might take a firm root over many waters: he planted it on the surface of the earth. Ezec. 17:5
For he had despised the oath, breaking his covenant, and behold he hath given his hand: and having done all these things, he shall not escape. Ezec. 17:18
And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my net: and I will bring him into Babylon, and will judge him there for the transgression by which he hath despised me. Ezec. 17:20
That hath turned away his hand from injuring the poor, hath not taken usury and increase, but hath executed my judgments, and hath walked in my commandments: this man shall not die for the iniquity of his father, but living he shall live. Ezec. 18:17
As for his father, because he oppressed and offered violence to his brother, and wrought evil in the midst of his people, behold he is dead in his own iniquity. Ezec. 18:18
But if the wicked do penance for all his sins which he hath committed, and keep all my commandments, and do judgment, and justice, living he shall live, and shall not die. Ezec. 18:21
For when the just turneth himself away from his justice, and committeth iniquity, he shall die therein: in the injustice that he hath wrought he shall die. Ezec. 18:26
Therefore will I judge every man according to his ways, O house of Israel, saith the Lord God. Be converted, and do penance for all your iniquities: and iniquity shall not be your ruin. Ezec. 18:30
For I desire not the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God, return ye and live. Ezec. 18:32
¤ Moreover take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, Ezec. 19:1
But she seeing herself weakened, and that her hope was lost, took one of her young lions, and set him up for a lion. Ezec. 19:5
And she hath strong rods to make sceptres for them that bear rule, and her stature was exalted among the branches: and she saw her height in the multitude of her branches. Ezec. 19:11
And a fire is gone out from a rod of her branches, which hath devoured her fruit: so that she now hath no strong rod, to be a sceptre of rulers. This is a lamentation, and it shall be for a lamentation. Ezec. 19:14
And say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up my hand for the race of the house of Jacob: and appeared to them in the land of Egypt, and lifted up my hand for them, saying: I am the Lord your God: Ezec. 20:5
In that day I lifted up my hand for them to bring them out of the land of Egypt, into a land which I had provided for them, flowing with milk and honey, which excelled amongst all lands. Ezec. 20:6
But I did otherwise for my name's sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, in the midst of whom they were, and among whom I made myself known to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt. Ezec. 20:9
But I spared them for the sake of my name, lest it should be profaned before the nations, from which I brought them out, in their sight. Ezec. 20:14
Because they cast off my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, and violated my sabbaths: for their heart went after idols. Ezec. 20:16
But I turned away my hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it might not be violated before the nations, out of which I brought them forth in their sight. Ezec. 20:22
And I polluted them in their own gifts, when they offered all that opened the womb, for their offences: and they shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 20:26
And I had brought them into the land, for which I lifted up my hand to give it them: they saw every high hill, and every shady tree, and there they sacrificed their victims: and there they presented the provocation of their offerings, and there they set their sweet odours, and poured forth their libations. Ezec. 20:28
And as for you, O house of Israel: thus saith the Lord God: Walk ye every one after your idols, and serve them. But if in this also you hear me not, but defile my holy name any more with your gifts, and with your idols; Ezec. 20:39
I will accept of you for an odour of sweetness, when I shall have brought you out from the people, and shall have gathered you out of the lands into which you are scattered, and I will be sanctified in you in the sight of the nations. Ezec. 20:41
And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have brought you into the land of Israel, into the land for which I lifted up my hand to give it to your fathers. Ezec. 20:42
And there you shall remember your ways, and all your wicked doings with which you have been defiled; and you shall be displeased with yourselves in your own sight, for all your wicked deeds which you committed. Ezec. 20:43
And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have done well by you for my own name's sake, and not according to your evil ways, nor according to your wicked deeds, O house of Israel, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 20:44
And when they shall say to thee: Why mournest thou? thou shalt say: For that which I hear: because it cometh, and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be made feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and water shall run down every knee: behold it cometh, and it shall be done, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 21:7
Cry, and howl, O son of man, for this sword is upon my people, it is upon all the princes of Israel, that are fled: they are delivered up to the sword with my people, strike therefore upon thy thigh, Ezec. 21:12
And languish in heart, and that multiplieth ruins. In all their gates I have set the dread of the sharp sword, the sword that is furbished to glitter, that is made ready for slaughter. Ezec. 21:15
And thou son of man, set thee two ways, for the sword of the king of Babylon to come: both shall come forth out of one land: and with his hand he shall draw lots, he shall consult at the head of the way of the city. Ezec. 21:19
For the king of Babylon stood in the highway, at the head of two ways, seeking divination, shuffling arrows: he inquired of the idols, and consulted entrails. Ezec. 21:21
On his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in slaughter, to lift up the voice in howling, to set engines against the gates, to cast up a mount, to build forts. Ezec. 21:22
Thou shalt be fuel for the fire, thy blood shall be in the midst of the land, thou shalt be forgotten: for I the Lord have spoken it. Ezec. 21:32
And I sought among them for a man that might set up a hedge, and stand in the gap before me in favour of the land, that I might not destroy it: and I found none. Ezec. 22:30
And their names were Oolla the elder, and Ooliba her younger sister: and I took them, and they bore sons and daughters. Now for their names, Samaria is Oolla, and Jerusalem is Ooliba. Ezec. 23:4
Moreover also she did not forsake her fornications which she had committed in Egypt: for they also lay with her in her youth, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured out their fornication upon her. Ezec. 23:8
For she multiplied her fornications, remembering the days of her youth, in which she played the harlot in the land of Egypt. Ezec. 23:19
For thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hands of them whom thou hatest, into their hands with whom thy soul hath been glutted. Ezec. 23:28
They sent for men coming from afar, to whom they had sent a messenger: and behold they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, and didst paint thy eyes, and wast adorned with women's ornaments. Ezec. 23:40
For thus saith the Lord God: Bring a multitude upon them, and deliver them over to tumult and rapine: Ezec. 23:46
For her blood is in the midst of her, she hath shed it upon the smooth rock: she hath not shed it upon the ground, that it might be covered with dust. Ezec. 24:7
Sigh in silence, make no mourning for the dead: let the tire of thy head be upon thee, and thy shoes on thy feet, and cover not thy face, nor eat the meat of mourners. Ezec. 24:17
Speak to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will profane my sanctuary, the glory of your realm, and the thing that your eyes desire, and for which your soul feareth: your sons, and your daughters, whom you have left, shall fall by the sword. Ezec. 24:21
You shall have crowns on your heads, and shoes on your feet: you shall not lament nor weep, but you shall pine away for your iniquities, and every one shall sigh with his brother. Ezec. 24:23
And Ezechiel shall be unto you for a sign of things to come: according to all that he hath done, so shall you do, when this shall come to pass: and you shall know that I am the Lord God. Ezec. 24:24
In that day, I say, shall thy mouth be opened to him that hath escaped, and thou shalt speak, and shalt be silent no more: and thou shalt be unto them for a sign of things to come, and you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 24:27
Therefore will I deliver thee to the men of the east for an inheritance, and they shall place their sheepcotes in thee, and shall set up their tents in thee: they shall eat thy fruits: and they shall drink thy milk. Ezec. 25:4
And I will make Rabbath a stable for camels, and the children of Ammon a couching place for flocks: and you shall know that I am the Lord. Ezec. 25:5
For thus saith the Lord God: Because thou hast clapped thy hands and stamped with thy foot, and hast rejoiced with all thy heart against the land of Israel: Ezec. 25:6
To the people of the east with the children of Ammon, and I will give it them for an inheritance: that there may be no more any remembrance of the children of Ammon among the nations. Ezec. 25:10
She shall be a drying place for nets in the midst of the sea, because I have spoken it, saith the Lord God: and she shall be a spoil to the nations. Ezec. 26:5
For thus saith the Lord God: Behold I will bring against Tyre Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, the king of kings, from the north, with horses, and chariots, and horsemen, and companies, and much people. Ezec. 26:7
And I will make thee like a naked rock, thou shalt be a drying place for nets, neither shalt thou be built any more: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 26:14
For thus saith the Lord God: When I shall make thee a desolate city like the cities that are not inhabited: and shall bring the deep upon thee, and many waters shall cover thee: Ezec. 26:19
I will bring thee to nothing, and thou shalt not be, and if thou be sought for, thou shalt not be found any more for ever, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 26:21
Thou therefore, O son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre: Ezec. 27:2
And say to Tyre that dwelleth at the entry of the sea, being the mart of the people for many islands: Thus saith the Lord God: O Tyre, thou hast said: I am of perfect beauty, Ezec. 27:3
Fine broidered linen from Egypt was woven for thy sail, to be spread on thy mast: blue and purple from the islands of Elisa, were made thy covering. Ezec. 27:7
The ancients of Gebal, and the wise men thereof furnished mariners for the service of thy various furniture: all the ships of the sea, and their mariners were thy factors. Ezec. 27:9
The Persians, and Lydians, and the Libyans were thy soldiers in thy army: they hung up the buckler and the helmet in thee for thy ornament. Ezec. 27:10
The men of Dedan were thy merchants: many islands were the traffic of thy hand, they exchanged for thy price teeth of ivory and ebony. Ezec. 27:15
The men of Dedan were thy merchants in tapestry for seats. Ezec. 27:20
And they shall shave themselves bald for thee, and shall be girded with haircloth: and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of soul, with most bitter weeping. Ezec. 27:31
And they shall take up a mournful song for thee, and shall lament thee: What city is like Tyre, which is become silent in the midst of the sea? Ezec. 27:32
Thou shalt die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 28:10
And I will cast thee forth into the desert, and all the fish of thy river: thou shalt fall upon the face of the earth, thou shalt not be taken up, nor gathered together: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the earth, and to the fowls of the air. Ezec. 29:5
And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the lands that are desolate, and the cities thereof in the midst of the cities that are destroyed, and they shall be desolate for forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. Ezec. 29:12
For thus saith the Lord God: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the people among whom they had been scattered. Ezec. 29:13
Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath made his army to undergo hard service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled and there hath been no reward given him, nor his army for Tyre, for the service that he rendered me against it. Ezec. 29:18
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Behold, I will set Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon in the land of Egypt: and he shall take her multitude, and take the booty thereof for a prey, and rifle the spoils thereof: and it shall be wages for his army. Ezec. 29:19
And for the service that he hath done me against it: I have given him the land of Egypt, because he hath laboured for me, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 29:20
For the day is near, yea the day of the Lord is near: a cloudy day, it shall be the time of the nations. Ezec. 30:3
And he was most beautiful for his greatness, and for the spreading of his branches: for his root was near great waters. Ezec. 31:7
The cedars in the paradise of God were not higher than he, the fir trees did not equal his top, neither were the plane trees to be compared with him for branches: no tree in the paradise of God was like him in his beauty. Ezec. 31:8
For I made him beautiful and thick set with many branches: and all the trees of pleasure, that were in the paradise of God, envied him. Ezec. 31:9
For which cause none of the trees by the waters shall exalt themselves for their height: nor shoot up their tops among the thick branches and leaves, neither shall any of them that are watered stand up in their height: for they are all delivered unto death to the lowest parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down into the pit. Ezec. 31:14
Thus saith the Lord God: In the day when he went down to hell, I brought in mourning, I covered him with the deep: and I withheld its rivers, and restrained the many waters: Libanus grieved for him, and all the trees of the field trembled. Ezec. 31:15
For they also shall go down with him to hell to them that are slain by the sword; and the arm of every one shall sit down under his shadow in the midst of the nations. Ezec. 31:17
Son of man, take up a lamentation for Pharao the king of Egypt, and say to him: Thou art like the lion of the nations, and the dragon that is in the sea: and thou didst push with the horn in thy rivers, and didst trouble the waters with thy feet, and didst trample upon their streams. Ezec. 32:2
And I will make many people to be amazed at thee, and their kings shall be horribly afraid for thee, when my sword shall begin to fly upon their faces: and they shall be astonished on a sudden, every one for his own life, in the day of their ruin. Ezec. 32:10
For thus saith the Lord God: The sword of the king of Babylon shall come upon thee, Ezec. 32:11
This is the lamentation, and they shall lament therewith: the daughters of the nations shall lament therewith for Egypt, and for the multitude thereof they shall lament therewith, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 32:16
Son of man, sing a mournful song for the multitude of Egypt: and cast her down, both her, and the daughters of the mighty nations to the lowest part of the earth, with them that go down into the pit. Ezec. 32:18
In the midst of the slain they have set him a bed among all his people: their graves are round about him: all these are uncircumcised, and slain by the sword: for they spread their terror in the land of the living, and have borne their shame with them that descend into the pit: they are laid in the midst of the slain. Ezec. 32:25
And if I shall say to the wicked: Thou shalt surely die: and he do penance for his sin, and do judgment and justice, Ezec. 33:14
For when the just shall depart from his justice, and commit iniquities, he shall die in them. Ezec. 33:18
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have made their land waste and desolate, for all their abominations which they have committed. Ezec. 33:29
And they come to thee, as if people were coming in, and my people sit before thee: and hear thy words, and do them not: for they turn them into a song of their mouth, and their heart goeth after their covetousness. Ezec. 33:31
And when that which was foretold shall come to pass, for behold it is coming, then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them. Ezec. 33:33
As I live, saith the Lord God, forasmuch as my flocks have been made a spoil, and my sheep are become a prey to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd: for my shepherds did not seek after my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my flocks: Ezec. 34:8
Thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself come upon the shepherds, I will require my flock at their hand, and I will cause them to cease from feeding the flock any more, neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more: and I will deliver my flock from their mouth, and it shall no more be meat for them. Ezec. 34:10
For thus saith the Lord God: Behold I myself will seek my sheep, and will visit them. Ezec. 34:11
And as for you, O my flocks, thus saith the Lord God: Behold I judge between cattle and cattle, of rams and of he goats. Ezec. 34:17
Was it not enough for you to feed upon good pastures? but you must also tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures: and when you drank the clearest water, you troubled the rest with your feet. Ezec. 34:18
And they shall be no more for a spoil to the nations, neither shall the beasts of the earth devour them: but they shall dwell securely without, any terror. Ezec. 34:28
And I will raise up for them a bud of renown: and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither shall they bear any more the reproach of the Gentiles. Ezec. 34:29
Thus saith the Lord God: Because the enemy hath said of you: Aha, the everlasting heights are given to us for an inheritance. Ezec. 36:2
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: In the fire of my zeal I have spoken of the rest of the nations, and of all Edom, who have taken my land to themselves, for an inheritance with joy, and with all the heart, and with the mind: and have cast it out to lay it waste. Ezec. 36:5
But as for you, O mountains of Israel, shoot ye forth your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of Israel: for they are at hand to come. Ezec. 36:8
For lo, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be ploughed and sown. Ezec. 36:9
And I will bring men upon you, my people Israel, and they shall possess thee for their inheritance: and thou shalt be their inheritance, and shalt no more henceforth be without them. Ezec. 36:12
And I poured out my indignation upon them for the blood which they had shed upon the land, and with their idols they defiled it. Ezec. 36:18
Therefore thou shalt say to the house of Israel: Thus saith the Lord God: It is not for your sake that I will do this, O house of Israel, but for my holy name's sake, which you have profaned among the nations whither you went. Ezec. 36:22
For I will take you from among the Gentiles, and will gather you together out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land. Ezec. 36:24
And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for corn, and will multiply it, and will lay no famine upon you. Ezec. 36:29
It is not for your sakes that I will do this, saith the Lord God, be it known to you: be confounded, and ashamed at your own ways, O house of Israel. Ezec. 36:32
Thus saith the Lord God: Moreover in this shall the house of Israel find me, that I will do it for them: I will multiply them as a flock of men, Ezec. 36:37
And thou son of man, take thee a stick: and write upon it: Of Juda, and of the children of Israel his associates: and take another stick and write upon it: For Joseph the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, and of his associates. Ezec. 37:16
And they shall dwell in the land which I gave to my servant Jacob, wherein your fathers dwelt, and they shall dwell in it, they and their children, and their children's children, for ever: and David my servant shall be their prince for ever. Ezec. 37:25
And I will make a covenant of peace with them, it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will establish them, and will multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for ever. Ezec. 37:26
And the nations shall know that I am the Lord the sanctifier of Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for ever. Ezec. 37:28
Thou shalt fall upon the face of the field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 39:5
And they shall not bring wood out of the countries, nor cut down out of the forests: for they shall burn the weapons with fire, and shall make a prey of them to whom they had been a prey, and they shall rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 39:10
And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give Gog a noted place for a sepulchre in Israel: the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea, which shall cause astonishment in them that pass by: and there shall they bury Gog, and all his multitude, and it shall be called the valley of the multitude of Gog. Ezec. 39:11
And the house of Israel shall bury them for seven months to cleanse the land. Ezec. 39:12
And thou, O son of man, saith the Lord God, say to every fowl, and to all the birds, and to all the beasts of the field: Assemble yourselves, make haste, come together from every side to my victim, which I slay for you, a great victim upon the mountains of Israel: to eat flesh, and drink blood. Ezec. 39:17
And you shall eat the fat till you be full, and shall drink blood till you be drunk of the victim which I shall slay for you. Ezec. 39:19
And the nations shall know that the house of Israel were made captives for their iniquity, because they forsook me, and I hid my face from them: and I delivered them into the hands of their enemies, and they fell all by the sword. Ezec. 39:23
Therefore, thus saith the Lord God: Now will I bring back the captivity of Jacob, and will have mercy on all the house of Israel and I will be jealous for my holy name. Ezec. 39:25
And I will hide my face no more from them, for I have poured out my spirit upon all the house of Israel, saith the Lord God. Ezec. 39:29
And this man said to me: Son of man, see with thy eyes, and hear with thy ears, and set thy heart upon all that I shall shew thee: for thou art brought hither that they may be shewn to thee: declare all that thou seest, to the house of Israel. Ezec. 40:4
And the four tables for the holocausts were made of square stones: one cubit and a half long, and one cubit and a half broad, and one cubit high: to lay the vessels upon, in which the holocaust and the victim is slain. Ezec. 40:42
And he said to me: This chamber, which looketh toward the south shall be for the priests that watch in the wards of the temple. Ezec. 40:45
But the chamber that looketh towards the north shall be for the priests that watch over the ministry of the altar. These are the sons of Sadoc, who among the sons of Levi, come near to the Lord, to minister to him. Ezec. 40:46
And the thickness of the wall for the side chamber without, which was five cubits: and the inner house was within the side chambers of the house, Ezec. 41:9
And the door of the side chambers was turned towards the place of prayer: one door was toward the north, and another door was toward the south: and the breadth of the place for prayer, was five cubits round about. Ezec. 41:11
And in the two doors on both sides were two little doors, which were folded within each other: for there were two wickets on both sides of the doors. Ezec. 41:24
And there were cherubims also wrought in the doors of the temple, and the figures of palm trees, like as were made on the walls: for which cause also the planks were thicker in the front of the porch without. Ezec. 41:25
For they were of three stories, and had not pillars, as the pillars of the courts: therefore did they appear above out of the lower places, and out of the middle places, fifty cubits from the ground. Ezec. 42:6

Then fear and trembling fell upon all the people: for they said: There is no truth, nor justice among them: for they have broken the covenant, and the oath which they made. 1 Ma. 7:18
And after this Nicanor went up into mount Sion: and some of the priests and the people came out to salute him peaceably, and to shew him the holocausts that were offered for the king. 1 Ma. 7:33
Thou, O Lord, hast chosen this house for thy name to be called upon therein, that it might be a house of prayer and supplication for thy people. 1 Ma. 7:37
And they took the spoils of them for a booty, and they cut off Nicanor's head, and his right hand, which he had proudly stretched out, and they brought it, and hung it up over against Jerusalem. 1 Ma. 7:47
And the land of Juda was quiet for a short time. 1 Ma. 7:50
But with their friends, and such as relied upon them, they kept amity, and had conquered kingdoms that were near, and that were far off: for all that heard their name, were afraid of them. 1 Ma. 8:12
And that they had made themselves a senate house, and consulted daily three hundred and twenty men, that sat in council always for the people, that they might do the things that were right: 1 Ma. 8:15
And that they might take off from them the yoke of the Grecians, for they saw that they oppressed the kingdom of Israel with servitude. 1 Ma. 8:18
And this is the copy of the writing that they wrote back again, graven in tables of brass, and sent to Jerusalem, that it might be with them there for a memorial of the peace, and alliance. 1 Ma. 8:22
GOOD SUCCESS BE TO THE ROMANS, and to the people of the Jews by sea, and by land, for ever: and far be the sword and enemy from them. 1 Ma. 8:23
But they dissuaded him, saying: We shall not be able, but let us save our lives now, and return to our brethren, and then we will fight against them: for we are but few. 1 Ma. 9:9
Then Judas said: God forbid we should do this thing, and flee away from them: but if our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and let us not stain our glory. 1 Ma. 9:10
And all the people of Israel bewailed him with great lamentation, and they mourned for him many days. 1 Ma. 9:20
But the rest of the words of the wars of Judas, and of the noble acts that he did, and of his greatness, are not written: for they were very many. 1 Ma. 9:22
And they took revenge for the blood of their brother: and they returned to the bank of the Jordan. 1 Ma. 9:42
And Jonathan said to his company: Let us arise, and fight against our enemies: for it is not now as yesterday, and the day before. 1 Ma. 9:44
For behold the battle is before us, and the water of the Jordan on this side and on that side, and banks, and marshes, and woods: and there is no place for us to turn aside. 1 Ma. 9:45
And he took the sons of the chief men of the country for hostages, and put them in the castle in Jerusalem in custody. 1 Ma. 9:53
And Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead: and he returned to the king, and the land was quiet for two years. 1 Ma. 9:57
And he arose to come with a great army: and he sent secretly letters to his adherents that were in Judea to seize upon Jonathan, and them that were with him: but they could not, for their design was known to them. 1 Ma. 9:60
And they fought against Bacchides, and he was discomfited by them: and they afflicted him exceedingly, for his counsel, and his enterprise was in vain. 1 Ma. 9:68
For he said: Let us first make a peace with him, before he make one with Alexander against us. 1 Ma. 10:4
For he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brother, and against his nation. 1 Ma. 10:5
And he ordered workmen to build the walls, and mount Sion round about with square stones for fortification: and so they did. 1 Ma. 10:11
Only in Bethsura there remained some of them, that had forsaken the law, and the commandments of God: for this was a place of refuge for them. 1 Ma. 10:14
Wherefore now continue still to keep fidelity towards us, and we will reward you with good things, for what you have done in our behalf. 1 Ma. 10:27
And the half of the fruit of trees, which is my share, I leave to you from this day forward, so that it shall not be taken of the land of Juda, and of the three cities that are added thereto out of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth, and for ever: 1 Ma. 10:30
And let Jerusalem be holy and free, with the borders thereof: and let the tenths, and tributes be for itself. 1 Ma. 10:31
And I will that all the feasts, and the sabbaths, and the new moons, and the days appointed, and three days before the solemn day, and three days after the solemn day, be all days of immunity and freedom, for all the Jews that are in my kingdom: 1 Ma. 10:34
Ptolemais and the confines thereof, I give as a free gift to the holy places that are in Jerusalem, for the necessary charges of the holy things. 1 Ma. 10:39
And whosoever shall flee into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and in all the borders thereof, being indebted to the king for any matter, let them be set at liberty, and all that they have in my kingdom, let them have it free. 1 Ma. 10:43
For the building also, or repairing the works of the holy places, the charges shall be given out of the king's revenues: 1 Ma. 10:44
For the building also of the walls of Jerusalem, and the fortifying thereof round about, the charges shall be given out of the king's account, as also for the building of the walls in Judea. 1 Ma. 10:45
Now when Jonathan and the people heard these words, they gave no credit to them, nor received them because they remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel, for he had afflicted them exceedingly. 1 Ma. 10:46
And he said to his princes: Go out with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man complain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause. 1 Ma. 10:63
Now, therefore, if thou trustest in thy forces, come down to us into the plain, and there let us try one another: for with me is the strength of war. 1 Ma. 10:71
Ask, and learn who I am, and the rest that help me, who also say that your foot cannot stand before our face, for thy fathers have twice been put to flight in their own land: 1 Ma. 10:72
Then Simon drew forth his army, and attacked the legion: for the horsemen were wearied: and they were discomfited by him, and fled. 1 Ma. 10:82
And he went out into Syria with peaceable words and they opened to him the cities, and met him: for king Alexander had ordered them to go forth to meet him, because he was his father in law. 1 Ma. 11:2
For I repent that I have given him my daughter: for he hath sought to kill me. 1 Ma. 11:10
We have determined to do good to the nation of the Jews, who are our friends, and keep the things that are just with us, for their good will which they bear towards us. 1 Ma. 11:33
We have ratified, therefore, unto them all the borders of Judea, and the three cities, Apherema, Lydda, and Ramatha, which are added to Judea, out of Samaria, and all their confines, to be set apart to all them that sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the payments which the king received of them every year, and for the fruits of the land, and of the trees. 1 Ma. 11:34
And as for other things that belonged to us of the tithes, and of the tributes, from this time we discharge them of them: the saltpans also, and the crowns that were presented to us. 1 Ma. 11:35
We give all to them, and nothing hereof shall be revoked from this time forth and for ever. 1 Ma. 11:36
And Demetrius sent to Jonathan, saying: I will not only do this for thee, and for thy people, but I will greatly honour thee, and thy nation, when opportunity shall serve. 1 Ma. 11:42
Now, therefore, thou shalt do well if thou send me men to help me: for all my army is gone from me. 1 Ma. 11:43
And he sent him vessels of gold for his service, and he gave him leave to drink in gold, and to be clothed in purple, and to wear a golden buckle: 1 Ma. 11:58
And the men of Gaza made supplication to Jonathan, and he gave them the right hand: and he took their sons for hostages, and sent them to Jerusalem: and he went through the country, as far as Damascus. 1 Ma. 11:62
And behold the army of the strangers met him in the plain, and they laid an ambush for him in the mountains: but he went out against them. 1 Ma. 11:68
We, though we needed none of these things having for our comfort the holy books that are in our hands, 1 Ma. 12:9
Chose rather to send to you to renew the brotherhood and friendship, lest we should become strangers to you altogether: for there is a long time passed since you sent to us. 1 Ma. 12:10
For we have had help from heaven, and we have been delivered, and our enemies are humbled. 1 Ma. 12:15
So he went out from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amath: for he gave them no time to enter into his country. 1 Ma. 12:25
And the enemies heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle: and they were struck with fear and dread in their heart: and they kindled fires in their camp. 1 Ma. 12:28
But Jonathan, and they that were with him, knew it not till the morning: for they saw the lights burning. 1 Ma. 12:29
And Jonathan pursued after them, but overtook them not: for they had passed the river Eleutherus. 1 Ma. 12:30
(For he heard that they designed to deliver the hold to them that took part with Demetrius) and he put a garrison there to keep it. 1 Ma. 12:34
And they came together to build up the city: for the wall that was upon the brook, towards the east, was broken down, and he repaired that which is called Caphetetha: 1 Ma. 12:37
And Jonathan went out to meet him with forty thousand men chosen for battle, and came to Bethsan. 1 Ma. 12:41
Now, therefore, send them back to their own houses: and choose thee a few men that may be with thee, and come with me to Ptolemais, and I will deliver it to thee, and the rest of the strong holds, and the army, and all that have any charge, and I will return and go away: for this is the cause of my coming. 1 Ma. 12:45
But they, when they understood that Jonathan, and all that were with him, were taken and slain, encouraged one another, and went out ready for battle. 1 Ma. 12:50
Then they that had come after them, seeing that they stood for their lives, returned back. 1 Ma. 12:51
Then all the heathens that were round about them, sought to destroy them. For they said: 1 Ma. 12:53
And exhorted them, saying: You know what great battles I and my brethren, and the house of my father, have fought for the laws, and the sanctuary, and the distresses that we have seen: 1 Ma. 13:3
By reason whereof all my brethren have lost their lives for Israel's sake, and I am left alone. 1 Ma. 13:4
And now far be it from me to spare my life in any time of trouble: for I am not better than my brethren. 1 Ma. 13:5
I will avenge then my nation and the sanctuary, and our children, and wives: for all the heathens are gathered together to destroy us out of mere malice. 1 Ma. 13:6
Saying: We have detained thy brother, Jonathan, for the money that he owed in the king's account, by reason of the affairs which he had the management of. 1 Ma. 13:15
But now send a hundred talents of silver, and his two sons for hostages, that when he is set at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will release him. 1 Ma. 13:16
And all Israel bewailed him with great lamentation: and they mourned for him many days. 1 Ma. 13:26
And he set up seven pyramids, one against another, for his father, and his mother, and his four brethren: 1 Ma. 13:28
And round about these he set great pillars; and upon the pillars, arms, for a perpetual memory; and by the arms, ships carved, which might be seen by all that sailed on the sea. 1 Ma. 13:29
And Simon chose men, and sent to king Demetrius, to the end that he should grant an immunity to the land; for all that Tryphon did, was to spoil. 1 Ma. 13:34
For all that we have decreed in your favour shall stand in force. The strong holds that you have built, shall be your own. 1 Ma. 13:38
And as for any oversight or fault committed unto this day, we forgive it: and the crown which you owed: and if any other thing were taxed in Jerusalem, now let it not be taxed. 1 Ma. 13:39
And they cried to Simon for peace, and he granted it to them: and he cast them out from thence and cleansed the castle from uncleannesses. 1 Ma. 13:50
And Simon saw that John, his son, was a valiant man for war: and he made him captain of all the forces: and he dwelt in Gazara. 1 Ma. 13:54
And with all his glory he took Joppe for a haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea. 1 Ma. 14:5
And he provided victuals for the cities, and he appointed that they should be furnished with ammunition, so that the fame of his glory was renowned even to the end of the earth. 1 Ma. 14:10
For he hath restored his brethren, and hath driven away in fight the enemies of Israel from them: and they decreed him liberty, and registered it in tables of brass, and set it upon pillars in mount Sion. 1 Ma. 14:26
And Simon, the son of Mathathias, of the children of Jarib, and his brethren, have put themselves in danger, and have resisted the enemies of their nation, for the maintenance of their holy places, and the law: and have raised their nation to great glory. 1 Ma. 14:29
Then Simon resisted and fought for his nation, and laid out much of his money, and armed the valiant men of his nation, and gave them wages. 1 Ma. 14:32
And he fortified Joppe, which lieth by the sea: and Gazara, which bordereth upon Azotus, wherein the enemies dwelt before, and he placed Jews here: and furnished them with all things convenient for their reparation. 1 Ma. 14:34
And the people seeing the acts of Simon, and to what glory he meant to bring his nation, made him their prince and high priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to advance his people. 1 Ma. 14:35
And he placed therein Jews for the defence of the country, and of the city, and he raised up the walls of Jerusalem. 1 Ma. 14:37
For he had heard that the Romans had called the Jews their friends, and confederates, and brethren, and that they had received Simon's ambassadors with honour: 1 Ma. 14:40
And that the Jews, and their priests, had consented that he should be their prince and high priest for ever, till there should arise a faithful prophet: 1 Ma. 14:41
And that it should not be lawful for any of the people, or of the priests, to disannul any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to call together an assembly in the country without him: or to be clothed with purple, or to wear a buckle of gold. 1 Ma. 14:44
And all that is due to the king, and what should be the king's hereafter, from this present and for ever, is forgiven thee. 1 Ma. 15:8
For he perceived that evils were gathered together upon him, and his troops had forsaken him. 1 Ma. 15:12
But if not, give me for them five hundred talents of silver, and for the havoc that you have made, and the tributes of the cities, other five hundred talents: or else we will come and fight against you. 1 Ma. 15:31
And Simon answered him, and said to him: We have neither taken other men's land, neither do we hold that which is other men's, but the inheritance of our fathers, which was for some time unjustly possessed by our enemies. 1 Ma. 15:33
And as to thy complaints concerning Joppe and Gazara, they did great harm to the people, and to our country: yet for these we will give a hundred talents. And Athenobius answered him not a word. 1 Ma. 15:35
And now I am old, but be you instead of me, and my brethren, and go out, and fight for our nation: and the help from heaven be with you. 1 Ma. 16:3
For he was son in law of the high priest. 1 Ma. 16:12
Now Simon, as he was going through the cities that were in the country of Judea, and taking care for the good ordering of them, went down to Jericho, he and Mathathias and Judas, his sons, in the year one hundred and seventy-seven, the eleventh month: the same is the month Sabath. 1 Ma. 16:14
And he committed a great treachery in Israel, and rendered evil for good. 1 Ma. 16:17
But when he heard it, he was exceedingly afraid: and he apprehended the men that came to kill him, and he put them to death: for he knew that they sought to make him away. 1 Ma. 16:22
And now here we are praying for you. 2 Ma. 1:6
For he made numbers of men swarm out of Persia, that have fought against us, and the holy city. 2 Ma. 1:12
For when the leader himself was in Persia, and with him a very great army, he fell in the temple of Nanea, being deceived by the counsel of the priests of Nanea. 2 Ma. 1:13
For Antiochus, with his friends, came to the place as though he would marry her, and that he might receive great sums of money under the title of a dowry. 2 Ma. 1:14
For when our fathers were led into Persia, the priests that then were worshippers of God, took privately the fire from the altar, and hid it in a valley where there was a deep pit without water, and there they kept it safe, so that the place was unknown to all men. 2 Ma. 1:19
But when many years had passed, and it pleased God that Nehemias should be sent by the king of Persia, he sent some of the posterity of those priests that had hid it, to seek for the fire: and as they told us, they found no fire, but thick water. 2 Ma. 1:20
Receive the sacrifice for all thy people Israel, and preserve thy own portion, and sanctify it. 2 Ma. 1:26
And the king considering, and diligently examining the matter, made a temple for it, that he might prove what had happened. 2 Ma. 1:34
For he treated wisdom in a magnificent manner: and like a wise man, he offered the sacrifice of the dedication, and of the finishing of the temple. 2 Ma. 2:9
For he hath delivered us out of great perils, and hath cleansed the place. 2 Ma. 2:19
For considering the multitude of books, and the difficulty that they find that desire to undertake the narrations of histories, because of the multitude of the matter, 2 Ma. 2:25
We have taken care for those indeed that are willing to read, that it might be a pleasure of mind: and for the studious, that they may more easily commit to memory: and that all that read might receive profit. 2 Ma. 2:26
But as they that prepare a feast, and seek to satisfy the will of others: for the sake of many, we willingly undergo the labour. 2 Ma. 2:28
Leaving to the authors the exact handling of every particular, and as for ourselves, according to the plan proposed, studying to be brief. 2 Ma. 2:29
For as the master builder of a new house must have care of the whole building: but he that taketh care to paint it, must seek out fit things for the adorning of it: so must it be judged of us. 2 Ma. 2:30
For to collect all that is to be known, to put the discourse in order, and curiously to discuss every particular point, is the duty of the author of a history: 2 Ma. 2:31
Here then we will begin the narration: let this be enough by way of a preface: for it is a foolish thing to make a long prologue, and to be short in the story itself. 2 Ma. 2:33
Now when Apollonius had given the king notice concerning the money that he was told of, he called for Heliodorus, who had the charge over his affairs, and sent him with commission to bring him the foresaid money. 2 Ma. 3:7
And when he was come to Jerusalem, and had been courteously received in the city by the high priest, he told him what information had been given concerning the money: and declared the cause for which he was come: and asked if these things were so indeed. 2 Ma. 3:9
Then the high priest told him that these were sums deposited, and provisions for the subsistence of the widows and the fatherless: 2 Ma. 3:10
But that to deceive them who had trusted to the place and temple which is honoured throughout the whole world, for the reverence and holiness of it, was a thing which could not by any means be done. 2 Ma. 3:12
And the priests prostrated themselves before the altar in their priests' vestments, and called upon him from heaven, who made the law concerning things given to be kept, that he would preserve them safe, for them that had deposited them. 2 Ma. 3:15
Now whosoever saw the countenance of the high priest, was wounded in heart: for his face, and the changing of his colour, declared the inward sorrow of his mind. 2 Ma. 3:16
For the man was so compassed with sadness and horror of the body, that it was manifest to them that beheld him, what sorrow he had in his heart. 2 Ma. 3:17
For the expectation of the mixed multitude, and of the high priest, who was in an agony, would have moved any one to pity. 2 Ma. 3:21
And these indeed called upon almighty God, to preserve the things that had been committed to them safe and sure for those that had committed them. 2 Ma. 3:22
For there appeared to them a horse, with a terrible rider upon him, adorned with a very rich covering: and he ran fiercely and struck Heliodorus with his fore feet, and he that sat upon him seemed to have armour of gold. 2 Ma. 3:25
So the high priest, considering that the king might perhaps suspect that some mischief had been done to Heliodorus by the Jews, offered a sacrifice of health for the recovery of the man. 2 Ma. 3:32
And when the high priest was praying, the same young men in the same clothing stood by Heliodorus, and said to him: Give thanks to Onias the priest: because for his sake the Lord hath granted thee life. 2 Ma. 3:33
If thou hast any enemy, or traitor to thy king dom, send him thither, and thou shalt receive him again scourged, if so be he escape: for there is undoubtedly in that place a certain power of God. 2 Ma. 3:38
For he that hath his dwelling in the heavens, is the visitor and protector of that place, and he striketh and destroyeth them that come to do evil to it. 2 Ma. 3:39
And he presumed to call him a traitor to the kingdom, who provided for the city, and defended his nation, and was zealous for the law of God. 2 Ma. 4:2
For he saw that, except the king took care, it was impossible that matters should be settled in peace, or that Simon would cease from his folly. 2 Ma. 4:6
Besides this he promised also a hundred and fifty more, if he might have license to set him up a place for exercise, and a place for youth, and to entitle them that were at Jerusalem, Antiochians. 2 Ma. 4:9
For he had the boldness to set up, under the very castle, a place of exercise, and to put all the choicest youths in brothel houses. 2 Ma. 4:12
And setting nought by the honours of their fathers, they esteemed the Grecian glories for the best: 2 Ma. 4:15
For the sake of which they incurred a dangerous contention, and followed earnestly their ordinances, and in all things they coveted to be like them, who were their enemies and murderers. 2 Ma. 4:16
For acting wickedly against the laws of God doth not pass unpunished: but this the time following will declare. 2 Ma. 4:17
The wicked Jason sent from Jerusalem sinful men, to carry three hundred didrachmas of silver for the sacrifice of Hercules; but the bearers thereof desired it might not be bestowed on the sacrifices, because it was not necessary, but might be deputed for other charges. 2 Ma. 4:19
So the money was appointed by him that sent it to the sacrifice of Hercules: but because of them that carried it was employed for the making of galleys. 2 Ma. 4:20
But he being recommended to the king, when he had magnified the appearance of his power, got the high priesthood for himself, by offering more than Jason by three hundred talents of silver. 2 Ma. 4:24
So Menelaus got the principality: but as for the money he had promised to the king, he took no care, when Sostratus, the governor of the castle, called for it. 2 Ma. 4:27
For to him appertained the gathering of the taxes: wherefore they were both called before the king. 2 Ma. 4:28
When these things were in doing, it fell out that they of Tharsus, and Mallos, raised a sedition, because they were given for a gift to Antiochus, the king's concubine. 2 Ma. 4:30
The king, therefore, went in all haste to appease them, leaving Andronicus, one of his nobles, for his deputy. 2 Ma. 4:31
For which cause not only the Jews, but also the other nations, conceived indignation, and were much grieved for the unjust murder of so great a man. 2 Ma. 4:35
Antiochus, therefore, was grieved in his mind for Onias, and being moved to pity, shed tears, remembering the sobriety and modesty of the deceased. 2 Ma. 4:37
And many of them were wounded, and some struck down to the ground, but all were put to flight: and as for the sacrilegious fellow himself, they slew him beside the treasury. 2 Ma. 4:42
Thus they that prosecuted the cause for the city, and for the people, and the sacred vessels, did soon suffer unjust punishment. 2 Ma. 4:48
¤ At the same time Antiochus prepared for a second journey into Egypt. 2 Ma. 5:1
And it came to pass, that through the whole city of Jerusalem, for the space of forty days, there were seen horsemen running in the air, in gilded raiment, and armed with spears, like bands of soldiers. 2 Ma. 5:2
Yet he did not get the principality, but received confusion at the end, for the reward of his treachery, and fled again into the country of the Ammonites. 2 Ma. 5:7
At the last, having been shut up by Aretas, the king of the Arabians, in order for his destruction, flying from city to city, hated by all men, as a forsaker of the laws and execrable, as an enemy of his country and countrymen, he was thrust out into Egypt: 2 Ma. 5:8
And he that had driven many out of their country perished in a strange land, going to Lacedemon, as if for kindred sake he should have refuge there: 2 Ma. 5:9
And taking in his wicked hands the holy vessels, which were given by other kings and cities, for the ornament and the glory of the place, he unworthily handled and profaned them. 2 Ma. 5:16
Thus Antiochus going astray in mind, did not consider that God was angry for a while, because of the sins of the inhabitants of the city: and therefore this contempt had happened to the place: 2 Ma. 5:17
But God did not choose the people for the place's sake, but the place for the people's sake. 2 Ma. 5:19
For the temple was full of the riot and revellings of the Gentiles: and of men lying with lewd women. And women thrust themselves of their accord into the holy places, and brought in things that were not lawful. 2 Ma. 6:4
For two women were accused to have circumcised their children: whom, when they had openly led about through the city, with the infants hanging at their breasts, they threw down headlong from the walls. 2 Ma. 6:10
Now I beseech those that shall read this book, that they be not shocked at these calamities, but that they consider the things that happened, not as being for the destruction, but for the correction of our nation. 2 Ma. 6:12
For it is a token of great goodness, when sinners are not suffered to go on in their ways for a long time, but are presently punished. 2 Ma. 6:13
For, not as with other nations, (whom the Lord patiently expecteth, that when the day of judgment shall come, he may punish them in the fulness of their sins:) 2 Ma. 6:14
But let this suffice in a few words for a warning to the readers. And now we must come to the narration. 2 Ma. 6:17
And considering in what manner he was to come to it, patiently bearing, he determined not to do any unlawful things for the love of life. 2 Ma. 6:20
But they that stood by, being moved with wicked pity, for the old friendship they had with the man, taking him aside, desired that flesh might be brought which it was lawful for him to eat, that he might make as if he had eaten, as the king had commanded, of the flesh of the sacrifice: 2 Ma. 6:21
That by so doing he might be delivered from death; and for the sake of their old friendship with the man, they did him this courtesy. 2 Ma. 6:22
For it doth not become our age, said he, to dissemble: whereby many young persons might think that Eleazar, at the age of fourscore and ten years, was gone over to the life of the heathens: 2 Ma. 6:24
And so they, through my dissimulation, and for a little time of a corruptible life, should be deceived, and hereby I should bring a stain and a curse upon my old age. 2 Ma. 6:25
For though, for the present time, I should be delivered from the punishments of men, yet should I not escape the hand of the Almighty neither alive nor dead. 2 Ma. 6:26
And I shall leave an example of fortitude to young men, if with a ready mind and constancy I suffer an honourable death, for the most venerable and most holy laws. And having spoken thus, he was forthwith carried to execution. 2 Ma. 6:28
And they that led him, and had been a little before more mild, were changed to wrath for the words he had spoken, which they thought were uttered out of arrogancy. 2 Ma. 6:29
Thus did this man die, leaving not only to young men, but also to the whole nation, the memory of his death, for an example of virtue and fortitude. 2 Ma. 6:31
¤ It came to pass also, that seven brethren, together with their mother, were apprehended, and compelled by the king to eat swine's flesh against the law, for which end they were tormented with whips and scourges. 2 Ma. 7:1
And when he was at the last gasp, he said thus: Thou indeed, O most wicked man, destroyest us out of this present life: but the King of the world will raise us up, who die for his laws, in the resurrection of eternal life. 2 Ma. 7:9
And said with confidence: These I have from heaven, but for the laws of God I now despise them, because I hope to receive them again from him. 2 Ma. 7:11
And when he was now ready to die, he spoke thus: It is better, being put to death by men, to look for hope from God, to be raised up again by him; for, as to thee, thou shalt have no resurrection unto life. 2 Ma. 7:14
After him they brought the sixth, and he being ready to die, spoke thus: Be not deceived without cause: for we suffer these things for ourselves, having sinned against our God, and things worthy of admiration are done to us: 2 Ma. 7:18
But do not think that thou shalt escape unpunished, for that thou hast attempted to fight against God. 2 Ma. 7:19
Now the mother was to be admired above measure, and worthy to be remembered by good men, who beheld her seven sons slain in the space of one day, and bore it with a good courage, for the hope that she had in God: 2 Ma. 7:20
She said to them: I know not how you were formed in my womb; for I neither gave you breath, nor soul, nor life, neither did I frame the limbs of every one of you. 2 Ma. 7:22
But the Creator of the world, that formed the nativity of man, and that found out the origin of all, he will restore to you again, in his mercy, both breath and life, as now you despise yourselves for the sake of his laws. 2 Ma. 7:23
Now Antiochus, thinking himself despised, and withal despising the voice of the upbraider, when the youngest was yet alive, did not only exhort him by words, but also assured him with an oath, that he would make him a rich and a happy man, and, if he would turn from the laws of his fathers, would take him for a friend, and furnish him with things necessary. 2 Ma. 7:24
While she was yet speaking these words, the young man said: For whom do you stay? I will not obey the commandment of the king, but the commandment of the law which was given us by Moses. 2 Ma. 7:30
For we suffer thus for our sins. 2 Ma. 7:32
And though the Lord, our God, is angry with us a little while, for our chastisement and correction, yet he will be reconciled again to his servants. 2 Ma. 7:33
For thou hast not yet escaped the judgment of the Almighty God, who beholdeth all things. 2 Ma. 7:35
For my brethren having now undergone a short pain, are under the covenant of eternal life: but thou, by the judgment of God, shalt receive just punishment for thy pride. 2 Ma. 7:36
But I, like my brethren, offer up my life and my body for the laws of our fathers: calling upon God to be speedily merciful to our nation, and that thou by torments and stripes mayst confess that he alone is God. 2 Ma. 7:37
Now when Machabeus had gathered a multitude, he could not be withstood by the heathens: for the wrath of the Lord was turned into mercy. 2 Ma. 8:5
Then Philip seeing that the man gained ground by little and little, and that things for the most part succeeded prosperously with him, wrote to Ptolemee, the governor of Celesyria and Phenicia, to send aid to the king's affairs. 2 Ma. 8:8
And Nicanor purposed to raise for the king the tribute of two thousand talents, that was to be given to the Romans, by making so much money of the captive Jews: 2 Ma. 8:10
Wherefore he sent immediately to the cities upon the sea coast, to invite men together to buy up the Jewish slaves, promising that they should have ninety slaves for one talent, not reflecting on the vengeance which was to follow him from the Almighty. 2 Ma. 8:11
And if not for their sakes, yet for the covenant that he had made with their fathers, and for the sake of his holy and glorious name that was invoked upon them. 2 Ma. 8:15
For, said he, they trust in their weapons, and in their boldness: but we trust in the Almighty Lord, who at a beck can utterly destroy both them that come against us, and the whole world. 2 Ma. 8:18
And of the battle that they had fought against the Galatians, in Babylonia; how they, being in all but six thousand, when it came to the point, and the Macedonians, their companions, were at a stand, slew a hundred and twenty thousand, because of the help they had from heaven, and for this they received many favours. 2 Ma. 8:20
With these words they were greatly encouraged and disposed even to die for the laws and their country. 2 Ma. 8:21
And after the holy book had been read to them by Esdras, and he had given them for a watchword, The help of God: himself leading the first band, he joined battle with Nicanor: 2 Ma. 8:23
But they came back for want of time: for it was the day before the sabbath: and therefore they did not continue the pursuit. 2 Ma. 8:26
Then after the sabbath they divided the spoils to the feeble and the orphans, and the widows, and the rest they took for themselves and their servants. 2 Ma. 8:28
And when they kept the feast of the victory at Jerusalem, they burnt Callisthenes, that had set fire to the holy gates, who had taken refuge in a certain house, rendering to him a worthy reward for his impieties: 2 Ma. 8:33
But as for that most wicked man, Nicanor, who had brought a thousand merchants to the sale of the Jews, 2 Ma. 8:34
And he that had promised to levy the tribute for the Romans, by the means of the captives of Jerusalem, now professed that the Jews had God for their protector, and therefore they could not be hurt, because they followed the laws appointed by him. 2 Ma. 8:36
For he had entered into the city called Persepolis, and attempted to rob the temple, and to oppress the city, but the multitude running together to arms, put them to flight: and so it fell out that Antiochus being put to flight, returned with disgrace. 2 Ma. 9:2
But the Lord, the God of Israel, that seeth all things, struck him with an incurable and an invisible plague. For as soon as he had ended these words, a dreadful pain in his bowels came upon him, and bitter torments of the inner parts. 2 Ma. 9:5
And the man that thought a little before he could reach to the stars of heaven, no man could endure to carry, for the intolerable stench. 2 Ma. 9:10
But his pains not ceasing, (for the just judgment of God was come upon him) despairing of life, he wrote to the Jews, in the manner of a supplication, a letter in these words: 2 Ma. 9:18
As for me, being infirm, but yet kindly remembering you, returning out of the places of Persia, and being taken with a grievous disease, I thought it necessary to take care for the common good: 2 Ma. 9:21
Moreover, considering that neighbouring princes, and borderers, wait for opportunities, and expect what shall be the event, I have appointed my son, Antiochus, king, whom I often recommended to many of you, when I went into the higher provinces: and I have written to him what I have joined here below. 2 Ma. 9:25
For I trust that he will behave with moderation and humanity, and following my intentions, will be gracious unto you. 2 Ma. 9:27
Therefore they now carried boughs and green branches and palms, for him that had given them good success in cleansing his place. 2 Ma. 10:7
For when he was come to the crown, he appointed over the affairs of his realm one Lysias, general of the army of Phenicia and Syria. 2 Ma. 10:11
For Ptolemee, that was called Macer, was determined to be strictly just to the Jews and especially by reason of the wrong that had been done them, and to deal peaceably with them. 2 Ma. 10:12
But being accused for this to Eupator by his friends, and being oftentimes called traitor, because he had left Cyprus, which Philometor had committed to him, and coming over to Antiochus the Illustrious, had revolted also from him, he put an end to his life by poison. 2 Ma. 10:13
Now they that were with Simon, being led with covetousness, were persuaded for the sake of money by some that were in the towers: and taking seventy thousand didrachmas, let some of them escape. 2 Ma. 10:20
But when it was told Machabeus what was done, he assembled the rulers of the people, and accused those men that they had sold their brethren for money, having let their adversaries escape. 2 Ma. 10:21
But as soon as the sun was risen both sides joined battle: the one part having, with their valour, the Lord for a surety of victory, and success: but the other side making their rage their leader in battle. 2 Ma. 10:28
And having for two days together pillaged and sacked the fortress, they killed Timotheus, who was found hid in a certain place: they slew also his brother Chereas, and Apollophanes. 2 Ma. 10:37
Then Machabeus consented to the request of Lysias, providing for the common good in all things; and whatsoever Machabeus wrote to Lysias, concerning the Jews, the king allowed of. 2 Ma. 11:15
For there were letters written to the Jews from Lysias, to this effect: Lysias, to the people of the Jews, greeting. 2 Ma. 11:16
That the Jews may use their own kind of meats, and their own laws, as before: and that none of them any manner of ways be molested for things which have been done by ignorance. 2 Ma. 11:31
But touching such things as he thought should be referred to the king, after you have diligently conferred among yourselves, send some one forthwith, that we may decree as it is convenient for you: for we are going to Antioch. 2 Ma. 11:36
And after a hard fight, in which, by the help of God, they got the victory, the rest of the Arabians being overcome, besought Judas for peace, promising to give him pastures, and to assist him in other things. 2 Ma. 12:11
But as for Timotheus, they found him not in those places, for before he had dispatched any thing he went back, having left a very strong garrison in a certain hold: 2 Ma. 12:18
Now when Timotheus had knowledge of the coming of Judas, he sent the women and children, and the other baggage, before him into a fortress, called Carnion: for it was impregnable, and hard to come at, by reason of the straitness of the places. 2 Ma. 12:21
And when he had given his faith that he would restore them according to the agreement, they let him go without hurt, for the saving of their brethren. 2 Ma. 12:25
And they found under the coats of the slain, some of the donaries of the idols of Jamnia, which the law forbiddeth to the Jews: so that all plainly saw, that for this cause they were slain. 2 Ma. 12:40
And making a gathering, he sent twelve thousand drachms of silver to Jerusalem for sacrifice to be offered for the sins of the dead, thinking well and religiously concerning the resurrection. 2 Ma. 12:43
(For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should rise again, it would have seemed superfluous and vain to pray for the dead,) 2 Ma. 12:44
And because he considered that they who had fallen asleep with godliness, had great grace laid up for them. 2 Ma. 12:45
It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins. 2 Ma. 12:46
Menelaus also joined himself with them: and with great deceitfulness besought Antiochus, not for the welfare of his country, but in hopes that he should be appointed chief ruler. 2 Ma. 13:3
And indeed very justly, for insomuch as he had committed many sins against the altar of God, the fire and ashes of which were holy: he was condemned to die in ashes. 2 Ma. 13:8
Because they were afraid to be deprived of the law, and of their country, and of the holy temple: and that he would not suffer the people, that had of late taken breath for a little while, to be again in subjection to blasphemous nations. 2 Ma. 13:11
So when they had all done this together, and had craved mercy of the Lord with weeping and fasting, lying prostrate on the ground for three days continually, Judas exhorted them to make themselves ready. 2 Ma. 13:12
So committing all to God, the Creator of the world, and having exhorted his people to fight manfully, and to stand up even to death for the laws, the temple, the city, their country, and citizens: he placed his army about Modin. 2 Ma. 13:14
And having given his company for a watchword, The victory of God, with most valiant chosen young men, he set upon the king's quarter by night, and slew four thousand men in the camp, and the greatest of the elephants, with them that had been upon him, 2 Ma. 13:15
But when he was come to Ptolemais, the men of that city were much displeased with the conditions of the peace, being angry for fear they should break the covenant. 2 Ma. 13:25
¤ But after the space of three years Judas, and they that were with him, understood that Demetrius, the son of Seleucus, was come up with a great power, and a navy by the haven of Tripolis, to places proper for his purpose, 2 Ma. 14:1
Now one Alcimus, who had been chief priest, but had wilfully defiled himself in the time of mingling with the heathens, seeing that there was no safety for him, nor access to the altar, 2 Ma. 14:3
For I also being deprived of my ancestor's glory (I mean of the high priesthood) am now come hither: 2 Ma. 14:7
Principally indeed out of fidelity to the king's interests, but in the next place also to provide for the good of my countrymen: for all our nation suffereth much from the evil proceedings of these men. 2 Ma. 14:8
For as long as Judas liveth it is not possible that the state should be quiet. 2 Ma. 14:10
Now when the Jews heard of Nicanor's coming, and that the nations were assembled against them, they cast earth upon their heads, and made supplication to him who chose his people to keep them for ever, and who protected his portion by evident signs. 2 Ma. 14:15
Nevertheless Nicanor hearing of the valour of Judas' companions, and the greatness of courage, with which they fought for their country, was afraid to try the matter by the sword. 2 Ma. 14:18
So they appointed a day upon which they might commune together by themselves: and seats were brought out, and set for each one. 2 Ma. 14:21
But Alcimus seeing the love they had one to another, and the covenants, came to Demetrius, and told him that Nicanor had assented to the foreign interest, for that he meant to make Judas, who was a traitor to the kingdom, his successor. 2 Ma. 14:26
Therefore now, O Lord, the holy of all holies, keep this house for ever undefiled, which was lately cleansed. 2 Ma. 14:36
Now Razias, one of the ancients of Jerusalem, was accused to Nicanor, a man that was a lover of the city, and of good report, who for his kindness was called the father of the Jews. 2 Ma. 14:37
This man, for a long time, had held fast his purpose of keeping himself pure in the Jews' religion, and was ready to expose his body and life, that he might persevere therein. 2 Ma. 14:38
For he thought by ensnaring him to hurt the Jews very much. 2 Ma. 14:40
But they quickly making room for his fall, he came upon the midst of the neck. 2 Ma. 14:44
And he exhorted his people not to fear the coming of the nations, but to remember the help they had before received from heaven, and now to hope for victory from the Almighty. 2 Ma. 15:8
Now the vision was in this manner. Onias, who had been high priest, a good and virtuous man, modest in his looks, gentle in his manners, and graceful in speech, and who from a child was exercised in virtues holding up his hands, prayed for all the people of the Jews: 2 Ma. 15:12
After this there appeared also another man, admirable for age, and glory, and environed with great beauty and majesty: 2 Ma. 15:13
Then Onias answering, said: This is a lover of his brethren, and of the people of Israel: this is he that prayeth much for the people, and for all the holy city, Jeremias, the prophet of God. 2 Ma. 15:14
For their concern was less for their wives, and children, and for their brethren, and kinsfolks: but their greatest and principal fear was for the holiness of the temple. 2 Ma. 15:18
And they also that were in the city, had no little concern for them that were to be engaged in battle. 2 Ma. 15:19
Send now also, O Lord of heaven, thy good angel before us, for the fear and dread of the greatness of thy arm, 2 Ma. 15:23
And Judas, who was altogether ready, in body and mind, to die for his countrymen, commanded that Nicanor's head, and his hand, with the shoulder, should be cut off, and carried to Jerusalem. 2 Ma. 15:30
And when he was come thither, having called together his countrymen, and the priests to the altar, he sent also for them that were in the castle, 2 Ma. 15:31
For as it is hurtful to drink always wine, or always water, but pleasant to use sometimes the one, and sometimes the other: so if the speech be always nicely framed, it will not be grateful to the readers. But here it shall be ended. 2 Ma. 15:40
But while he thought on these things, behold the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in his sleep, saying: Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her, is of the Holy Ghost. Mt. 1:20
And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name Jesus. For he shall save his people from their sins. Mt. 1:21
Saying: Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and are come to adore him. Mt. 2:2
But they said to him: In Bethlehem of Juda. For so it is written by the prophet: Mt. 2:5
And thou Bethlehem the land of Juda art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come forth the captain that shall rule my people Israel. Mt. 2:6
And after they were departed, behold an angel of the Lord appeared in sleep to Joseph, saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and fly into Egypt: and be there until I shall tell thee. For it will come to pass that Herod will seek the child to destroy him. Mt. 2:13
Saying: Arise, and take the child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel. For they are dead that sought the life of the child. Mt. 2:20
And saying: Do penance: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Mt. 3:2
For this is he that was spoken of by Isaias the prophet, saying: A voice of one crying in the desert, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight his paths. Mt. 3:3
And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham for our father. For I tell you that God is able of these stones to raise up children to Abraham. Mt. 3:9
For now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that doth not yield good fruit, shall be cut down, and cast into the fire. Mt. 3:10
And Jesus answering, said to him: Suffer it to be so now. For so it becometh us to fulfil all justice. Then he suffered him. Mt. 3:15
And said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone. Mt. 4:6
Then Jesus saith to him: Begone, Satan: for it is written: The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve. Mt. 4:10
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say: Do penance, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Mt. 4:17
And Jesus walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers). Mt. 4:18
Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 5:3
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Mt. 5:4
Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land. Mt. 5:5
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill. Mt. 5:6
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Mt. 5:7
Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God. Mt. 5:8
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Mt. 5:9
Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 5:10
Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: Mt. 5:11
Be glad and rejoice for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you. Mt. 5:12
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt lose its savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is good for nothing anymore but to be cast out, and to be trodden on by men. Mt. 5:13
For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled. Mt. 5:18
For I tell you, that unless your justice abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Mt. 5:20
And if thy right eye scandalize thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee. For it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell. Mt. 5:29
And if thy right hand scandalize thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is expedient for thee that one of thy members should perish, rather than that thy whole body be cast into hell. Mt. 5:30
But I say to you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, excepting for the cause of fornication, maketh her to commit adultery: and he that shall marry her that is put away, committeth adultery. Mt. 5:32
But I say to you not to swear at all, neither by heaven for it is the throne of God: Mt. 5:34
Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool: nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king: Mt. 5:35
You have heard that it hath been said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. Mt. 5:38
But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you: Mt. 5:44
For if you love them that love you, what reward shall you have? do not even the publicans this? Mt. 5:46
And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard. Mt. 6:7
Be not you therefore like to them for your Father knoweth what is needful for you, before you ask him. Mt. 6:8
For if you will forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father will forgive you also your offences. Mt. 6:14
And when you fast, be not as the hypocrites, sad. For they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Amen I say to you, they have received their reward. Mt. 6:16
For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also. Mt. 6:21
No man can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one, and love the other: or he will sustain the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Mt. 6:24
Therefore I say to you, be not solicitous for your life, what you shall eat, nor for your body, what you shall put on. Is not the life more than the meat: and the body more than the raiment? Mt. 6:25
Behold the birds of the air, for they neither sow, nor do they reap, nor gather into barns: and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not you of much more value than they? Mt. 6:26
And for raiment why are you solicitous? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. Mt. 6:28
For after all these things do the heathens seek. For your Father knoweth that you have need of all these things. Mt. 6:32
Be not therefore solicitous for to morrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof. Mt. 6:34
For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again. Mt. 7:2
For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. Mt. 7:8
All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets. Mt. 7:12
Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. Mt. 7:13
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock. Mt. 7:25
For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees. Mt. 7:29
And Jesus saith to him: See thou tell no man: but go, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them. Mt. 8:4
For I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers; and I say to this, Go, and he goeth, and to another Come, and he cometh, and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. Mt. 8:9
But the men wondered, saying: What manner of man is this, for the winds and the sea obey him? Mt. 8:27
Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners. Mt. 9:13
And nobody putteth a piece of raw cloth unto an old garment. For it taketh away the fulness thereof from the garment, and there is made a greater rent. Mt. 9:16
For she said within herself: If I shall touch only his garment, I shall be healed. Mt. 9:21
He said: Give place, for the girl is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn. Mt. 9:24
Nor scrip for your journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff; for the workman is worthy of his meat. Mt. 10:10
Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. Mt. 10:15
But beware of men. For they will deliver you up in councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues. Mt. 10:17
And you shall be brought before governors, and before kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles: Mt. 10:18
But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak: Mt. 10:19
For it is not you that speak, but the spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. Mt. 10:20
And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake: but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved. Mt. 10:22
It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the good man of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household? Mt. 10:25
Therefore fear them not. For nothing is covered that shall not be revealed: nor hid, that shall not be known. Mt. 10:26
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father. Mt. 10:29
For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. Mt. 10:35
He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it. Mt. 10:39
Art thou he that art to come, or look we for another? Mt. 11:3
For this is he of whom it is written: Behold I send my angel before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee. Mt. 11:10
For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John: Mt. 11:13
For John came neither eating nor drinking; and they say: He hath a devil. Mt. 11:18
Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein were done the most of his miracles, for that they had not done penance. Mt. 11:20
Woe to thee, Corozain, woe to thee, Bethsaida: for if in Tyre and Sidon had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in you, they had long ago done penance in sackcloth and ashes. Mt. 11:21
But I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment, than for you. Mt. 11:22
And thou Capharnaum, shalt thou be exalted up to heaven? thou shalt go down even unto hell. For if in Sodom had been wrought the miracles that have been wrought in thee, perhaps it had remained unto this day. Mt. 11:23
But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for thee. Mt. 11:24
Yea, Father: for so hath it seemed good in thy sight. Mt. 11:26
For my yoke is sweet and my burden light. Mt. 11:30
How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the loaves of proposition, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor for them that were with him, but for the priests only? Mt. 12:4
For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath. Mt. 12:8
Either make the tree good and its fruit good: or make the tree evil, and its fruit evil. For by the fruit the tree is known. Mt. 12:33
O generation of vipers, how can you speak good things, whereas you are evil? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Mt. 12:34
But I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall render an account for it in the day of judgment. Mt. 12:36
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Mt. 12:37
For as Jonas was in the whale's belly three days and three nights: so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. Mt. 12:40
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father, that is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother. Mt. 12:50
For he that hath, to him shall be given, and he shall abound: but he that hath not, from him shall be taken away that also which he hath. Mt. 13:12
For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears they have been dull of hearing, and their eyes they have shut: lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. Mt. 13:15

And he released unto them him who for murder and sedition had been cast into prison, whom they had desired. But Jesus he delivered up to their will. Lk. 23:25
But Jesus turning to them, said: Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not over me; but weep for yourselves and for your children. Lk. 23:28
For behold, the days shall come, wherein they will say: Blessed are the barren and the wombs that have not borne and the paps that have not given suck. Lk. 23:29
For if in the green wood they do these things, what shall be done in the dry? Lk. 23:31
And Jesus said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. But they, dividing his garments, cast lots. Lk. 23:34
And we indeed justly: for we receive the due reward of our deeds. But this man hath done no evil. Lk. 23:41
(The same had not consented to their counsel and doings) of Arimathea, a city of Judea: who also himself looked for the kingdom of God. Lk. 23:51
See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Handle, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see me to have. Lk. 24:39
But while they yet believed not and wondered for joy, he said: Have you here any thing to eat? Lk. 24:41
This man came for a witness, to give testimony of the light, that all men might believe through him. Jn. 1:7
And of his fulness we all have received: and grace for grace. Jn. 1:16
For the law was given by Moses: grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Jn. 1:17
But Jesus did not trust himself unto them: for that he knew all men, Jn. 2:24
And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man. Jn. 2:25
This man came to Jesus by night and said to him: Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him. Jn. 3:2
For God so loved the world, as to give his only begotten Son: that whosoever believeth in him may not perish, but may have life everlasting. Jn. 3:16
For God sent not his Son into the world, to judge the world: but that the world may be saved by him. Jn. 3:17
And this is the judgment: Because the light is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than the light: for their works were evil. Jn. 3:19
For every one that doth evil hateth the light and cometh not to the light, that his works may not be reproved. Jn. 3:20
For John was not yet cast into prison. Jn. 3:24
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God doth not give the Spirit by measure. Jn. 3:34
For his disciples were gone into the city to buy meats. Jn. 4:8
Then that Samaritan woman saith to him: How dost thou, being a Jew; ask of me to drink, who am a Samaritan woman? For the Jews do not communicate with the Samaritans. Jn. 4:9
But he that shall drink of the water that I will give him shall not thirst for ever. But the water that I will give him shall become in him a fountain of water, springing up into life everlasting. Jn. 4:14
For thou hast had five husbands: and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband. This, thou hast said truly. Jn. 4:18
You adore that which you know not: we adore that which we know. For salvation is of the Jews. Jn. 4:22
But the hour cometh and now is, when the true adorers shall adore the Father in spirit and in truth. For the Father also seeketh such to adore him. Jn. 4:23
Do not you say: There are yet four months, and then the harvest cometh? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the countries. For they are white already to harvest. Jn. 4:35
For in this is the saying true: That it is one man that soweth, and it is another that reapeth. Jn. 4:37
Now of that city many of the Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman giving testimony: He told me all things whatsoever I have done. Jn. 4:39
And they said to the woman: We now believe, not for thy saying: for we ourselves have heard him and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world. Jn. 4:42
For Jesus himself gave testimony that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. Jn. 4:44
And when he was come into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things he had done at Jerusalem on the festival day: for they also went to the festival day. Jn. 4:45
He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him and prayed him to come down and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Jn. 4:47
In these lay a great multitude of sick, of blind, of lame, of withered: waiting for the moving of the water. Jn. 5:3
The infirm man answered him: Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pond. For whilst I am coming, another goeth down before me. Jn. 5:7
The Jews therefore said to him that was healed: It is the sabbath. It is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed. Jn. 5:10
But he who was healed knew not who it was: for Jesus went aside from the multitude standing in the place. Jn. 5:13
Then Jesus answered and said to them: Amen, amen, I say unto you, the Son cannot do any thing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing: for what things soever he doth, these the Son also doth in like manner. Jn. 5:19
For the Father loveth the Son and sheweth him all things which himself doth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that you may wonder. Jn. 5:20
For as the Father raiseth up the dead and giveth life: so the Son also giveth life to whom he will. Jn. 5:21
For neither does the Father judge any man: but hath given all judgment to the Son. Jn. 5:22
For as the Father hath life in himself, so he hath given to the Son also to have life in himself. Jn. 5:26
Wonder not at this: for the hour cometh wherein all that are in the graves shall hear the voice of the Son of God. Jn. 5:28
He was a burning and a shining light: and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. Jn. 5:35
But I have a greater testimony than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to perfect, the works themselves which I do, give testimony of me, that the Father hath sent me. Jn. 5:36
And you have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him you believe not. Jn. 5:38
Search the scriptures: for you think in them to have life everlasting. And the same are they that give testimony of me. Jn. 5:39
For if you did believe Moses, you would perhaps believe me also: for he wrote of me. Jn. 5:46
And this he said to try him: for he himself knew what he would do. Jn. 6:6
Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them that every one may take a little. Jn. 6:7
When therefore the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they took shipping and came to Capharnaum, seeking for Jesus. Jn. 6:24
Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that which endureth unto life everlasting, which the Son of man will give you. For him hath God, the Father, sealed. Jn. 6:27
For the bread of God is that which cometh down from heaven and giveth life to the world. Jn. 6:33
I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world. Jn. 6:51
For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. Jn. 6:55
This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna and are dead. He that eateth this bread shall live for ever. Jn. 6:58
But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that did not believe and who he was that would betray him. Jn. 6:64
Now he meant Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for this same was about to betray him, whereas he was one of the twelve. Jn. 6:71
¤ After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. Jn. 7:1
For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world. Jn. 7:4
For neither did his brethren believe in him. Jn. 7:5
And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people. Jn. 7:12
Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews. Jn. 7:13
And behold, he speaketh openly: and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth that this is the Christ? Jn. 7:26
Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Jn. 7:39
Jesus answered and said to them: Although I give testimony of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came and whither I go, but you know not whence I come or whither I go. Jn. 8:14
Therefore I said to you that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin. Jn. 8:24
And he that sent me is with me: and he hath not left me alone. For I do always the things that please him. Jn. 8:29
Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the son abideth for ever. Jn. 8:35
Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded and came. For I came not of myself: but he sent me. Jn. 8:42
You are of your father the devil: and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning: and he stood not in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. Jn. 8:44
Amen, amen, I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever. Jn. 8:51
The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets: and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever. Jn. 8:52
But how he now seeth, we know not: or who hath opened his eyes, we know not. Ask himself: he is of age: Let him speak for himself. Jn. 9:21
These things his parents said, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had already agreed among themselves that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. Jn. 9:22
And Jesus said: For judgment I am come into this world: that they who see not may see; and they who see may become blind. Jn. 9:39
The thief cometh not, but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they may have life and may have it more abundantly. Jn. 10:10
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep. Jn. 10:11
And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep. Jn. 10:13
As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep. Jn. 10:15
A dissension rose again among the Jews for these words. Jn. 10:19
And I give them life everlasting: and they shall not perish for ever. And no man shall pluck them out of my hand. Jn. 10:28
Jesus answered them: Many good works I have shewed you from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me? Jn. 10:32
The Jews answered him: For a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy: and because that thou, being a, man, makest thyself God. Jn. 10:33
And Jesus hearing it, said to them: This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God: that the Son of God may be glorified by it. Jn. 11:4
And I am glad, for your sakes; that I was not there, that you may believe. But, let us go to him. Jn. 11:15
And every one that liveth and believeth in me shall not die for ever. Believest thou this? Jn. 11:26
And when she had said these things, she went and called her sister Mary secretly, saying: The master is come and calleth for thee. Jn. 11:28
For Jesus was not yet come into the town: but he was still in that place where Martha had met him. Jn. 11:30
Jesus saith: Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him: Lord, by this time he stinketh, for he is now of four days. Jn. 11:39
The chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees gathered a council and said: What do we, for this man doth many miracles? Jn. 11:47
Neither do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people and that the whole nation perish not. Jn. 11:50
And this he spoke not of himself: but being the high priest of that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation. Jn. 11:51
And not only for the nation, but to gather together in one the children of God that were dispersed. Jn. 11:52
They sought therefore for Jesus; and they discoursed one with another, standing in the temple: What think you that he is not come to the festival day? Jn. 11:56
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor? Jn. 12:5
Now he said this not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief and, having the purse, carried the things that were put therein. Jn. 12:6
For the poor you have always with you: but me you have not always. Jn. 12:8
A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. Jn. 12:9
For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miracle. Jn. 12:18
Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause I came unto this hour. Jn. 12:27
Jesus answered and said: This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. Jn. 12:30
The multitude answered him: We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth for ever. And how sayest thou: The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? Jn. 12:34
For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God. Jn. 12:43
And if any man hear my words and keep them not, I do not judge him for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. Jn. 12:47
For I have not spoken of myself: but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say and what I should speak. Jn. 12:49
For he knew who he was that would betray him; therefore he said: You are not all clean. Jn. 13:11
You call me Master and Lord. And you say well: for so I am. Jn. 13:13
For I have given you an example, that as I have done to you, so you do also. Jn. 13:15
For some thought, because Judas had the purse, that Jesus had said to him: Buy those things which we have need of for the festival day: or that he should give something to the poor. Jn. 13:29
By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another. Jn. 13:35
Peter saith to him: Why cannot I follow thee now? I will lay down my life for thee. Jn. 13:37
Jesus answered him: Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Amen, amen, I say to thee, the cock shall not crow, till thou deny me thrice. Jn. 13:38
In my Father's house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you. Jn. 14:2
And if I shall go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself: that where I am, you also may be. Jn. 14:3
Philip saith to him: Lord, shew us the Father; and it is enough for us. Jn. 14:8
Believe you not that I am in the Father and the Father in me? Otherwise believe for the very works' sake. Jn. 14:11
And I will ask the Father: and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever: Jn. 14:16
You have heard that I said to you: I go away, and I come unto you. If you loved me you would indeed be glad, because I go to the Father: for the Father is greater than I. Jn. 14:28
I will not now speak many things with you. For the prince of this world: cometh: and in me he hath not any thing. Jn. 14:30
I am the vine: you the branches. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. Jn. 15:5
Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Jn. 15:13
I will not now call you servants: for the servant knoweth not what his lord doth. But I have called you friends, because all things, whatsoever I have heard of my Father, I have made known to you. Jn. 15:15
But all these things they will do to you for my name's sake: because they know not him that sent me. Jn. 15:21
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin. Jn. 15:22
But I tell you the truth: it is expedient to you that I go. For if I go not, the Paraclete will not come to you: but if I go, I will send him to you. Jn. 16:7
But when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself: but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak. And the things that are to come, he shall shew you. Jn. 16:13
A woman, when she is in labour, hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she hath brought forth the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. Jn. 16:21
In that day, you shall ask in my name: and I say not to you that I will ask the Father for you. Jn. 16:26
For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came out from God. Jn. 16:27
I pray for them. I pray not for the world, but for them whom thou hast given me: because they are thine. Jn. 17:9
And for them do I sanctify myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. Jn. 17:19
And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who through their word shall believe in me. Jn. 17:20
And they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law to Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year. Jn. 18:13
Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: That it was expedient that one man should die for the people. Jn. 18:14
Pilate therefore said to them: Take him you, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said to him: It is not lawful for us to put any man to death. Jn. 18:31
Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. Jn. 18:37
When the chief priests, therefore, and the servants had seen him, they cried out, saying: Crucify him, Crucify him. Pilate saith to them: Take him you, and crucify him: for I find no cause in him. Jn. 19:6
And from henceforth Pilate sought to release him. But the Jews cried out, saying: If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend. For whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. Jn. 19:12
They said then one to another: Let us not cut it but let us cast lots for it, whose it shall be; that the scripture might be fulfilled, saying: They have parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture they have cast lots. And the soldiers indeed did these things. Jn. 19:24
Then the Jews (because it was the parasceve), that the bodies might not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day (for that was a great sabbath day), besought Pilate that their legs might be broken: and that they might be taken away. Jn. 19:31
For these things were done that the scripture might be fulfilled: You shall not break a bone of him. Jn. 19:36
And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea (because he was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews), besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave leave. He came therefore and took the body of Jesus. Jn. 19:38
For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. Jn. 20:9
Jesus saith to her: Do not touch me: for I am not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brethren and say to them: I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and your God. Jn. 20:17
Now when it was late the same day, the first of the week, and the doors were shut, where the disciples were gathered together, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said to them: Peace be to you. Jn. 20:19
He saith to them: Cast the net on the right side of the ship; and you shall find. They cast therefore: and now they were not able to draw it, for the multitude of fishes. Jn. 21:6
That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter: It is the Lord. Simon Peter, when he heard that it was the Lord, girt his coat about him (for he was naked) and cast himself into the sea. Jn. 21:7
But the other disciples came in the ship (for they were not far from the land, but as it were two hundred cubits) dragging the net with fishes. Jn. 21:8
To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion, by many proofs, for forty days appearing to them, and speaking of the kingdom of God. Acts 1:3

Foreseeing this, he spoke of the resurrection of Christ. For neither was he left in hell: neither did his flesh see corruption. Acts 2:31
For David ascended not into heaven; but he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou on my right hand, Acts 2:34
But Peter said to them: Do penance: and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38

Saying: What shall we do to these men? For indeed a miracle hath been done by them, known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. It is manifest: and we cannot deny it. Acts 4:16
For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. Acts 4:20
But they, threatening, sent them away, not finding how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified what had been done, in that which had come to pass. Acts 4:21
For the man was above forty years old, in whom that miraculous cure had been wrought. Acts 4:22
For of a truth there assembled together in this city against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, Acts 4:27
For neither was there any one needy among them. For as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the price of the things they sold, Acts 4:34
And Peter said to her: Tell me, woman, whether you sold the land for so much? And she said: Yea, for so much. Acts 5:8
Then went the officer with the ministers and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned. Acts 5:26
For before these days rose up Theodas, affirming himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. Who was slain: and all that believed him were scattered and brought to nothing. Acts 5:36
And now, therefore, I say to you: Refrain from these men and let them alone. For if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought: Acts 5:38
And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus. Acts 5:41

And he said to them: you know how abominable it is for a man that is a Jew to keep company or to come unto one of another nation: but God hath shewed to me, to call no man common or unclean. Acts 10:28
For which cause, making no doubt, I came when I was sent for. I ask, therefore, for what cause you have sent for me? Acts 10:29
You know the word which hath been published through all Judea: for it began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached. Acts 10:37
Jesus of Nazareth: how God anointed him with the Holy Ghost and with power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Acts 10:38
And the faithful of the circumcision, who came with Peter, were astonished for that the grace of the Holy Ghost was poured out upon the Gentiles also. Acts 10:45

For he was a good man and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord. Acts 11:24

And now behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee: and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And immediately there fell a mist and darkness upon him: and going about, he sought some one to lead him by the hand. Acts 13:11
And for the space of forty years endured their manners in the desert: Acts 13:18
For they that inhabited Jerusalem and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, judging him, have fulfilled them. Acts 13:27

For so the Lord hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles: that thou mayest be for salvation unto the utmost part of the earth. Acts 13:47
For which cause, I judge that they who from among the Gentiles are converted to God are not to be disquieted: Acts 15:19
For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath. Acts 15:21
Men that have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 15:26
For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us to lay no further burden upon you than these necessary things: Acts 15:28

Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him, he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile. Acts 16:3
And as they passed through the cities, they delivered unto them the decrees for to keep, that were decreed by the apostles and ancients who were at Jerusalem. Acts 16:4

And when he had brought them into his own house, he laid the table for them: and rejoiced with all his house, believing God. Acts 16:34

For thou bringest in certain new things to our ears. We would know therefore what these things mean. Acts 17:20
For passing by and seeing your idols, I found an altar also, on which was written: To the Unknown God. What therefore you worship without knowing it, that I preach to you: Acts 17:23

Because I am with thee and no man shall set upon thee, to hurt thee. For I have much people in this city. Acts 18:10

But Paul, when he had stayed yet many days, taking his leave of the brethren, sailed thence into Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila), having shorn his head in Cenchrae. For he had a vow. Acts 18:18
For with much vigour he convinced the Jews openly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus is the Christ. Acts 18:28
And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God. Acts 19:8
And this continued for the space of two years, so that all they who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Gentiles. Acts 19:10
And sending into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia. Acts 19:22
For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver temples for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen. Acts 19:24
So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought, but also the temple of great Diana shall be reputed for nothing! Yea, and her majesty shall begin to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth. Acts 19:27
Now some cried one thing, some another. For the assembly was confused: and the greater part knew not for what cause they were come together. Acts 19:32
And they drew forth Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews thrusting him forward. And Alexander, beckoning with his hand for silence, would have given the people satisfaction, Acts 19:33
But as soon as they perceived him to be a Jew, all with one voice, for the space of about two, hours, cried out: Great is Diana of the Ephesians! Acts 19:34
For as much therefore as these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rashly. Acts 19:36
For you have brought hither these men, who are neither guilty of sacrilege nor of blasphemy against your goddess. Acts 19:37
For we are even in danger to be called in question for this day's uproar, there being no man guilty (of whom we may give account) of this concourse. Acts 19:40
Where, when he had spent three months, the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria. So he took a resolution to return through Macedonia. Acts 20:3
These, going before, stayed for us at Troas. Acts 20:5
To whom, when Paul had gone down, he laid himself upon him and, embracing him, said: Be not troubled, for his soul is in him. Acts 20:10
But we going aboard the ship, sailed to Assos, being there to take in Paul. For so he had appointed, himself purposing to travel by land. Acts 20:13
For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, lest he should be stayed any time in Asia. For he hasted, if it were possible for him, to keep the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem. Acts 20:16
And when they were come to him and were together, he said to them: You know from the first day that I came into Asia, in what manner I have been with you, for all the time. Acts 20:18
Save that the Holy Ghost in every city witnesseth to me, saying: That bands and afflictions wait for me at Jerusalem. Acts 20:23
For I have not spared to declare unto you all, the counsel of God. Acts 20:27
Therefore watch, keeping in memory that for three years I ceased not with tears to admonish every one of you, night and day. Acts 20:31
You yourselves know. For such things as were needful for me and them that are with me, these hands have furnished. Acts 20:34
Being grieved most of all for the word which he had said, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him on his way to the ship. Acts 20:38
And when we had discovered Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed into Syria, and came to Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden. Acts 21:3

Then Paul answered and said: What do you mean, weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but to die also in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus. Acts 21:13
But they hearing it, glorified God and said to him: Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews that have believed: and they are all zealous for the law. Acts 21:20
What is it therefore? The multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. Acts 21:22
Then Paul took the men and, the next day being purified with them, entered into the temple, giving notice of the accomplishment of the days of purification, until an oblation should be offered for every one of them. Acts 21:26
(For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.) Acts 21:29
And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude. And when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle. Acts 21:34
For the multitude of the people followed after, crying: Away with him! Acts 21:36
And he saith: I am a Jew, born at Tarsus in Cilicia, but brought up in this city, at the feet of Gamaliel, taught according to the truth of the law of the fathers, zealous for the law, as also all you are this day: Acts 22:3
And whereas I did not see for the brightness of that light, being led by the hand by my companions, I came to Damascus, Acts 22:11

And he said to me: Go, for unto the Gentiles afar off will I send thee. Acts 22:21
And they heard him until this word and then lifted up their voice, saying: Away with such an one from the earth. For it is not fit that he should live. Acts 22:22
The tribune commanded him to be brought into the castle, and that he should be scourged and tortured: to know for what cause they did so cry out against him. Acts 22:24
And when they had bound him with thongs, Paul saith to the centurion that stood by him: Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman and uncondemned? Acts 22:25
Which the centurion hearing, went to the tribune and told him, saying: What art thou about to do? For this man is a Roman citizen. Acts 22:26
But on the next day, meaning to know more diligently for what cause he was accused by the Jews, he loosed him and commanded the priests to come together and all the council: and, bringing forth Paul, he set him before them. Acts 22:30
Then Paul said to him: God shall strike thee, thou whited wall. For, sittest thou to judge me according to the law and, contrary to the law, commandest me to be struck? Acts 23:3
And Paul said: I knew not, brethren, that he is the high priest. For it is written: Thou shalt not speak evil of the prince of thy people. Acts 23:5
For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both. Acts 23:8
And the night following, the Lord standing by him, said: Be constant: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome. Acts 23:11
And Paul, calling to him one of the centurions, said: Bring this young man to the tribune: for he hath some thing to tell him. Acts 23:17
But do not thou give credit to them: for there lie in wait for him more than forty men of them, who have bound themselves by oath neither to eat nor to drink, till they have killed him. And they are now ready, looking for a promise from thee. Acts 23:21
Then having called two centurions, he said to them: Make ready two hundred soldiers to go as far as Caesarea: and seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, for the third hour of the night. Acts 23:23
(For he feared lest perhaps the Jews might take him away by force and kill him: and he should afterwards be slandered, as if he was to take money.) And he wrote a letter after this manner: Acts 23:25
And when I was told of ambushes that they had prepared for him, I sent him to thee, signifying also to his accusers to plead before thee. Farewell. Acts 23:30
And Paul being called for, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying: Whereas, through thee we live in much peace and many things are rectified by thy providence, Acts 24:2
Then Paul answered (the governor making a sign to him to speak): Knowing that for many years thou hast been judge over this nation, I will with good courage answer for myself. Acts 24:10
For thou mayest understand that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to adore in Jerusalem: Acts 24:11
Having hope in God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection of the just and unjust. Acts 24:15
Except it be for this one voice only that I cried, standing among them: Concerning the resurrection of the dead am I judged this day by you. Acts 24:21
And after some days, Felix, coming with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jew, sent for Paul and heard of him the faith that is in Christ Jesus. Acts 24:24
And as he treated of justice and chastity and of the judgment to come, Felix, being terrified, answered: For this time, go thy way: but when I have a convenient time, I will send for thee. Acts 24:25
Hoping also withal that money should be given him by Paul: for which cause also oftentimes sending for him, he spoke with him. Acts 24:26
But when two years were ended, Felix had for successor Portius Festus. And Felix being willing to shew the Jews a pleasure, left Paul bound. Acts 24:27
Paul making answer for himself: Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I offended in any thing. Acts 25:8
For if I have injured them or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die. But if there be none of these things whereof they accuse me, no man may deliver me to them. I appeal to Caesar. Acts 25:11
Of whom I have nothing certain to write to my lord. For which cause, I have brought him forth before you, and especially before thee, O King Agrippa, that, examination being made, I may have what to write. Acts 25:26
For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send a prisoner and not to signify the things laid to his charge. Acts 25:27
¤ Then Agrippa said to Paul: Thou art permitted to speak for thyself. Then Paul, stretching forth his hand, began to make his answer. Acts 26:1
I think myself happy, O King Agrippa, that I am to answer for myself this day before thee, touching all the things whereof I am accused by the Jews. Acts 26:2
And now for the hope of the promise that was made by God to the fathers, do I stand subject to judgment: Acts 26:6
Unto which, our twelve tribes, serving night and day, hope to come. For which hope, O king, I am accused by the Jews. Acts 26:7
And when we were all fallen down on the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against the goad. Acts 26:14
But rise up and stand upon thy feet: for to this end have I appeared to thee, that I may make thee a minister and a witness of those things which thou hast seen and of those things wherein I will appear to thee, Acts 26:16
For this cause, the Jews, when I was in the temple, having apprehended me, went about to kill me. Acts 26:21
For the king knoweth of these things, to whom also I speak with confidence. For I am persuaded that none of these things are hidden from him. For neither was any of these things done in a corner. Acts 26:26
And when for many days we had sailed slowly and were scarce come over against Gnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed near Crete by Salmone. Acts 27:7
And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and no small storm lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away. Acts 27:20
And now I exhort you to be of good cheer. For there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but only of the ship. Acts 27:22
For an angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night, Acts 27:23
Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall so be, as it hath been told me. Acts 27:25
Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern: and wished for the day. Acts 27:29
Wherefore, I pray you to take some meat for your health's sake: for there shall not an hair of the head of any of you perish. Acts 27:34
But the barbarians shewed us no small courtesy. For kindling a fire, they refreshed us all, because of the present rain and of the cold. Acts 28:2
Now in these places were possessions of the chief man of the island, named Publius: who, receiving us for three days, entertained us courteously. Acts 28:7
Who, when they had examined me, would have released me, for that there was no cause of death in me. Acts 28:18
For this cause therefore I desired to see you and to speak to you. Because that for the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain. Acts 28:20
But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest: for as concerning this sect, we know that it is every where contradicted. Acts 28:22
For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears have they heard heavily and their eyes they have shut, lest perhaps they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and should be converted: and I should heal them. Acts 28:27
By whom we have received grace and apostleship for obedience to the faith, in all nations, for his name: Rom. 1:5
First, I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all: because your faith is spoken of in the whole world. Rom. 1:8
For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make a commemoration of you: Rom. 1:9
For I long to see you that I may impart unto you some spiritual grace, to strengthen you: Rom. 1:11
For I am not ashamed of the gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth: to the Jew first and to the Greek. Rom. 1:16
For the justice of God is revealed therein, from faith unto faith, as it is written: The just man liveth by faith. Rom. 1:17
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and injustice of those men that detain the truth of God in injustice: Rom. 1:18
Because that which is known of God is manifest in them. For God hath manifested it unto them. Rom. 1:19
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made. His eternal power also and divinity: so that they are inexcusable. Rom. 1:20
For, professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. Rom. 1:22
Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Rom. 1:25
For this cause, God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature. Rom. 1:26
¤ Wherefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest. For wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself. For thou dost the same things which thou judgest. Rom. 2:1
For we know that the judgment of God is, according to truth, against them that do such things. Rom. 2:2
For there is no respect of persons with God. Rom. 2:11
For whosoever have sinned without the law shall perish without the law: and whosoever have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law. Rom. 2:12
For not the hearers of the law are just before God: but the doers of the law shall be justified. Rom. 2:13
For when the Gentiles, who have not the law, do by nature those things that are of the law; these, having not the law, are a law to themselves. Rom. 2:14
(For the name of God through you is blasphemed among the Gentiles, as it is written.) Rom. 2:24
If then, the uncircumcised keep the justices of the law, shall not this uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? Rom. 2:26
For it is not he is a Jew, who is so outwardly: nor is that circumcision which is outwardly in the flesh. Rom. 2:28
For what if some of them have not believed? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid! Rom. 3:3
For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie, unto his glory, why am I also yet judged as a sinner? Rom. 3:7
What then? Do we excel them? No, not so. For we have charged both Jews and Greeks, that they are all under sin. Rom. 3:9
Because by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified before him. For by the law is the knowledge of sin. Rom. 3:20
Even the justice of God, by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all, and upon all them that believe in him: for there is no distinction. Rom. 3:22
For all have sinned and do need the glory of God. Rom. 3:23
Whom God hath proposed to be a propitiation, through faith in his blood, to the shewing of his justice, for the remission of former sins, through the forbearance of God, Rom. 3:25
For the shewing of his justice in this time: that he himself may be just and the justifier of him who is of the faith of Jesus Christ Rom. 3:26
For we account a man to be justified by faith, without the works of the law. Rom. 3:28
For it is one God that justifieth circumcision by faith and uncircumcision through faith. Rom. 3:30
For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God. Rom. 4:2
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God: and it was reputed to him unto justice. Rom. 4:3
This blessedness then, doth it remain in the circumcision only or in the uncircumcision also? For we say that unto Abraham faith was reputed to justice. Rom. 4:9
For not through the law was the promise to Abraham or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world: but through the justice of faith. Rom. 4:13
For if they who are of the law be heirs, faith is made void: the promise is made of no effect. Rom. 4:14
For the law worketh wrath. For where there is no law, neither is there transgression. Rom. 4:15
Now it is not written only for him, that it was reputed to him unto justice, Rom. 4:23
But also for us, to whom it shall be reputed, if we believe in him that raised up Jesus Christ, our Lord, from the dead, Rom. 4:24
Who was delivered up for our sins and rose again for our justification. Rom. 4:25
For why did Christ, when as yet we were weak, according to the time, die for the ungodly? Rom. 5:6
For scarce for a just man will one die: yet perhaps for a good man some one would dare to die. Rom. 5:7
But God commendeth his charity towards us: because when as yet we were sinners according to the time. Christ died for us. Rom. 5:8
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son: much more, being reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. Rom. 5:10
For until the law sin was in the world: but sin was not imputed, when the law was not. Rom. 5:13
But not as the offence, so also the gift. For if by the offence of one, many died: much more the grace of God and the gift, by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. Rom. 5:15
And not as it was by one sin, so also is the gift. For judgment indeed was by one unto condemnation: but grace is of many offences unto justification. Rom. 5:16
For if by one man's offence death reigned through one; much more they who receive abundance of grace and of the gift and of justice shall reign in life through one, Jesus Christ. Rom. 5:17
For as by the disobedience of one man, many were made sinners: so also by the obedience of one, many shall be made just. Rom. 5:19
God forbid! For we that are dead to sin, how shall we live any longer therein? Rom. 6:2
For we are buried together with him by baptism into death: that, as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. Rom. 6:4
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. Rom. 6:5
For he that is dead is justified from sin. Rom. 6:7
For in that he died to sin, he died once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. Rom. 6:10
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace. Rom. 6:14
I speak an human thing, because of the infirmity of your flesh. For as you have yielded your members to serve uncleanness and iniquity, unto iniquity: so now yield your members to serve justice, unto sanctification. Rom. 6:19
For when you were the servants of sin, you were free men to justice. Rom. 6:20
What fruit therefore had you then in those things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of them is death. Rom. 6:21
For the wages of sin is death. But the grace of God, life everlasting in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom. 6:23
¤ Know you not, brethren (for I speak to them that know the law) that the law hath dominion over a man as long as it liveth? Rom. 7:1
For the woman that hath an husband, whilst her husband liveth is bound to the law. But if her husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. Rom. 7:2
For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members, to bring forth fruit unto death. Rom. 7:5
What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? God forbid! But I do not know sin, but by the law. For I had not known concupiscence, if the law did not say: Thou shalt not covet. Rom. 7:7
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. Rom. 7:8
For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, seduced me: and by it killed me. Rom. 7:11
For we know that the law is spiritual. But I am carnal, sold under sin. Rom. 7:14
For that which I work, I understand not. For I do not that good which I will: but the evil which I hate, that I do. Rom. 7:15
For I know that there dwelleth not in me, that is to say, in my flesh, that which is good. For to will is present with me: but to accomplish that which is good, I find not. Rom. 7:18
For the good which I will, I do not: but the evil which I will not, that I do. Rom. 7:19
For I am delighted with the law of God, according to the inward man: Rom. 7:22
For the law of the spirit of life, in Christ Jesus, hath delivered me from the law of sin and of death. Rom. 8:2
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and of sin, hath condemned sin in the flesh. Rom. 8:3
For they that are according to the flesh mind the things that are of the flesh: but they that are according to the spirit mind the things that are of the spirit. Rom. 8:5
For the wisdom of the flesh is death: but the wisdom of the spirit is life and peace. Rom. 8:6
Because the wisdom of the flesh is an enemy to God. For it is not subject to the law of God: neither can it be. Rom. 8:7
For if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if by the Spirit you mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall live. Rom. 8:13
For whosoever are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Rom. 8:14
For you have not received the spirit of bondage again in fear: but you have received the spirit of adoption of sons, whereby we cry: Abba (Father). Rom. 8:15
For the Spirit himself giveth testimony to our spirit that we are the sons of God. Rom. 8:16
For I reckon that the sufferings of this time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to come that shall be revealed in us. Rom. 8:18
For the expectation of the creature waiteth for the revelation of the sons of God. Rom. 8:19
For the creature was made subject to vanity: not willingly, but by reason of him that made it subject, in hope. Rom. 8:20
For we know that every creature groaneth and travaileth in pain, even till now. Rom. 8:22
And not only it, but ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit: even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption of the sons of God, the redemption of our body. Rom. 8:23
For we are saved by hope. But hope that is seen is not hope. For what a man seeth, why doth he hope for? Rom. 8:24
But if we hope for that which we see not, we wait for it with patience. Rom. 8:25
Likewise, the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity. For, we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit himself asketh for us with unspeakable groanings, Rom. 8:26
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what the Spirit desireth: because he asketh for the saints according to God. Rom. 8:27
For whom he foreknew, he also predestinated to be made conformable to the image of his Son: that he might be the Firstborn amongst many brethren. Rom. 8:29
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who is against us? Rom. 8:31
He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also, with him, given us all things? Rom. 8:32
Who is he that shall condemn? Christ Jesus that died: yea that is risen also again, who is at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Rom. 8:34
(As it is written: For thy sake, we are put to death all the day long. We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.) Rom. 8:36
For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor might, Rom. 8:38
For I wished myself to be an anathema from Christ, for my brethren: who are my kinsmen according to the flesh: Rom. 9:3
Whose are the fathers and of whom is Christ, according to the flesh, who is over all things, God blessed for ever. Amen. Rom. 9:5
Not as though the word of God hath miscarried. For all are not Israelites that are of Israel. Rom. 9:6
That is to say, not they that are the children of the flesh are the children of God: but they that are the children of the promise are accounted for the seed. Rom. 9:8
For this is the word of promise: According to this time will I come. And Sara shall have a son. Rom. 9:9
For when the children were not yet born, nor had done any good or evil (that the purpose of God according to election might stand): Not of works, but of him that calleth, Rom. 9:11
For he saith to Moses: I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy. And I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy. Rom. 9:15
For the scripture saith to Pharao: To this purpose have I raised thee, that I may shew my power in thee and that my name may be declared throughout all the earth. Rom. 9:17
Thou wilt say therefore to me: Why doth he then find fault? For who resisteth his will? Rom. 9:19
What if God, willing to shew his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath, fitted for destruction, Rom. 9:22
For he shall finish his word and cut it short in justice: because a short word shall the Lord make upon the earth. Rom. 9:28
Why so? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were of works. For they stumbled at the stumblingstone. Rom. 9:32
¤ Brethren, the will of my heart, indeed and my prayer to God is for them unto salvation. Rom. 10:1
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. Rom. 10:2
For they, not knowing the justice of God and seeking to establish their own, have not submitted themselves to the justice of God. Rom. 10:3
For the end of the law is Christ: unto justice to everyone that believeth. Rom. 10:4
For Moses wrote that the justice which is of the law: The man that shall do it shall live by it. Rom. 10:5
For if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thy heart that God hath raised him up from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom. 10:9
For, with the heart, we believe unto justice: but, with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation. Rom. 10:10
For the scripture saith: Whosoever believeth in him shall not be confounded. Rom. 10:11
For there is no distinction of the Jew and the Greek: for the same is Lord over all, rich unto all that call upon him. Rom. 10:12
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Rom. 10:13
But all do not obey the gospel. For Isaias saith: Lord, who hath believed our report? Rom. 10:16
¤ I say then: Hath God cast away his people? God forbid! For I also am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. Rom. 11:1
For I say to you, Gentiles: As long indeed as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I will honour my ministry, Rom. 11:13
For if the loss of them be the reconciliation of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? Rom. 11:15
For if the firstfruit be holy, so is the lump also: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. Rom. 11:16
For if God hath not spared the natural branches, fear lest perhaps he also spare not thee. Rom. 11:21
And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. Rom. 11:23
For if thou were cut out of the wild olive tree, which is natural to thee; and, contrary to nature, wert grafted into the good olive tree: how much more shall they that are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree? Rom. 11:24
For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery (lest you should be wise in your own conceits) that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles should come in. Rom. 11:25
As concerning the gospel, indeed, they are enemies for your sake: but as touching the election, they are most dear for the sake of the fathers. Rom. 11:28
For the gifts and the calling of God are without repentance. Rom. 11:29
For as you also in times past did not believe God, but now have obtained mercy, through their unbelief: Rom. 11:30
So these also now have not believed, for your mercy, that they also may obtain mercy. Rom. 11:31
For God hath concluded all in unbelief, that he may have mercy on all. Rom. 11:32
For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counsellor? Rom. 11:34
For of him, and by him, and in him, are all things: to him be glory for ever. Amen. Rom. 11:36
For I say, by the grace that is given me, to all that are among you, not to be more wise than it behoveth to be wise, but to be wise unto sobriety and according as God hath divided to every one the measure of faith. Rom. 12:3
For as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office: Rom. 12:4
To no man rendering evil for evil. Providing good things, not only in the sight of God but also in the sight of all men. Rom. 12:17
Revenge not yourselves, my dearly beloved; but give place unto wrath, for it is written: Revenge is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord. Rom. 12:19
But if thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat; if he thirst, give him to drink. For, doing this, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head. Rom. 12:20
¤ Let every soul be subject to higher powers. For there is no power but from God: and those that are ordained of God. Rom. 13:1
For princes are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good: and thou shalt have praise from the same. Rom. 13:3
For he is God's minister to thee, for good. But if thou do that which is evil, fear: for he beareth not the sword in vain. For he is God's minister: an avenger to execute wrath upon him that doth evil. Rom. 13:4
Wherefore be subject of necessity: not only for wrath, but also for conscience' sake. Rom. 13:5
For therefore also you pay tribute. For they are the ministers of God, serving unto this purpose. Rom. 13:6
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another. For he that loveth his neighbour hath fulfilled the law. Rom. 13:8
For: Thou shalt not commit adultery: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Thou shalt not covet. And if there be any other commandment, it is comprised in this word: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Rom. 13:9
And that, knowing the season, that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. Rom. 13:11
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ: and make not provision for the flesh in its concupiscences. Rom. 13:14
For one believeth that he may eat all things: but he that is weak, let him eat herbs. Rom. 14:2
Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not: and he that eateth not, let him not judge him that eateth. For God hath taken him to him. Rom. 14:3
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? To his own lord he standeth or falleth. And he shall stand: for God is able to make him stand. Rom. 14:4
For one judgeth between day and day: and another judgeth every day. Let every man abound in his own sense. Rom. 14:5
He that regardeth the day regardeth it unto the Lord. And he that eateth eateth to the Lord: for he giveth thanks to God. And he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not and giveth thanks to God. Rom. 14:6
For none of us liveth to himself: and no man dieth to himself. Rom. 14:7
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord: or whether we die, we die unto the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. Rom. 14:8
For to this end Christ died and rose again: that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. Rom. 14:9
But thou, why judgest thou thy brother? Or thou, why dost thou despise thy brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. Rom. 14:10
For it is written: As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me and every tongue shall confess to God. Rom. 14:11
Therefore every one of us shall render account to God for himself. Rom. 14:12
For if, because of thy meat, thy brother be grieved, thou walkest not now according to charity. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. Rom. 14:15
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink: but justice and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. Rom. 14:17
For he that in this serveth Christ pleaseth God and is approved of men. Rom. 14:18
Destroy not the work of God for meat. All things indeed are clean: but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence. Rom. 14:20
But he that discerneth, if he eat, is condemned; because not of faith. For all that is not of faith is sin. Rom. 14:23
For Christ did not please himself: but, as it is written: The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell upon me. Rom. 15:3
For what things soever were written were written for our learning: that, through patience and the comfort of the scriptures, we might have hope. Rom. 15:4
For I say that Christ Jesus was minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: Rom. 15:8
But that the Gentiles are to glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles and will sing to thy name. Rom. 15:9
For I dare not to speak of any of those things which Christ worketh not by me, for the obedience of the Gentiles, by word and deed, Rom. 15:18
For which cause also, I was hindered very much from coming to you and have been kept away till now. Rom. 15:22
For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a contribution for the poor of the saints that are in Jerusalem. Rom. 15:26
For it hath pleased them: and they are their debtors. For, if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, they ought also in carnal things to minister to them. Rom. 15:27
I beseech you therefore, brethren, through our Lord Jesus Christ and by the charity of the Holy Ghost, that you help me in your prayers for me to God, Rom. 15:30
That you receive her in the Lord as becometh saints and that you assist her in whatsoever business she shall have need of you. For she also hath assisted many, and myself also. Rom. 16:2
(Who have for my life laid down their own necks: to whom not I only give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles), Rom. 16:4
For they that are such serve not Christ our Lord but their own belly: and by pleasing speeches and good words seduce the hearts of the innocent. Rom. 16:18
For your obedience is published in every place. I rejoice therefore in you. But I would have you to be wise in good and simple in evil. Rom. 16:19
(Which now is made manifest by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the precept of the eternal God, for the obedience of faith) known among all nations: Rom. 16:26
To God, the only wise, through Jesus Christ, to whom be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. Rom. 16:27
I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Christ Jesus: 1 Cor. 1:4
So that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for the manifestation of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 1:7
For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 1 Cor. 1:11
Is Christ divided? Was Paul then crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? 1 Cor. 1:13
For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void. 1 Cor. 1:17
For the word of the cross, to them indeed that perish, is foolishness: but to them that are saved, that is, to us, it is the power of God. 1 Cor. 1:18
For it is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise: and the prudence of the prudent I will reject. 1 Cor. 1:19
For, seeing that in the wisdom of God, the world, by wisdom, knew not God, it pleased God, by the foolishness of our preaching, to save them that believe. 1 Cor. 1:21
For both the Jews require signs: and the Greeks seek after wisdom. 1 Cor. 1:22
For the foolishness of God is wiser than men: and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1 Cor. 1:25
For see your vocation, brethren, that there are not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble. 1 Cor. 1:26
For I judged not myself to know anything among you, but Jesus Christ: and him crucified. 1 Cor. 2:2
Which none of the princes of this world knew. For if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. 1 Cor. 2:8
But, as it is written: That eye hath not seen, nor ear heard: neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Cor. 2:9
But to us God hath revealed them by his Spirit. For the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 1 Cor. 2:10
For what man knoweth the things of a man, but the spirit of a man that is in him? So the things also that are of God, no man knoweth, but the Spirit of God. 1 Cor. 2:11
But the sensual man perceiveth not these things that are of the Spirit of God. For it is foolishness to him: and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined. 1 Cor. 2:14
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Cor. 2:16
I gave you milk to drink, not meat: for you were not able as yet. But neither indeed are you now able: for you are yet carnal. 1 Cor. 3:2
For, whereas there is among you envying and contention, are you not carnal and walk you not according to man? 1 Cor. 3:3
For while one saith: I indeed am of Paul: and another: I am of Apollo: are you not men? 1 Cor. 3:4
For we are God's coadjutors. You are God's husbandry: you are God's building. 1 Cor. 3:9
For other foundation no man can lay, but that which is laid: which is Christ Jesus. 1 Cor. 3:11
Every man's work shall be manifest. For the day of the Lord shall declare it, because it shall be revealed in fire. And the fire shall try every man's work, of what sort it is. 1 Cor. 3:13
But if any man violate the temple of God, him shall God destroy. For the temple of God is holy, which you are. 1 Cor. 3:17
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written: I will catch the wise in their own craftiness. 1 Cor. 3:19
Let no man therefore glory in men. For all things are yours, 1 Cor. 3:21
Whether it be Paul or Apollo or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come. For all are yours. 1 Cor. 3:22
For I am not conscious to myself of anything. Yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 1 Cor. 4:4
But these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollo, for your sakes: that in us you may learn that one be not puffed up against the other for another, above that which is written. 1 Cor. 4:6
For who distinguisheth thee? Or what hast thou that thou hast not received, and if thou hast received, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? 1 Cor. 4:7
For I think that God hath set forth us apostles, the last, as it were men appointed to death. We are made a spectacle to the world and to angels and to men. 1 Cor. 4:9
We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ: we are weak, but you are strong: you are honourable, but we without honour. 1 Cor. 4:10
For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, I have begotten you. 1 Cor. 4:15
For this cause have I sent to you Timothy, who is my dearest son and faithful in the Lord. Who will put you in mind of my ways, which are in Christ Jesus: as I teach every where in every church. 1 Cor. 4:17
For the kingdom of God is not in speech, but in power. 1 Cor. 4:20
To deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Cor. 5:5
Purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new paste, as you are unleavened. For Christ our pasch is sacrificed. 1 Cor. 5:7
For what have I to do to judge them that are without? Do not you judge them that are within? 1 Cor. 5:12
For them that are without, God will judge. Put away the evil one from among yourselves. 1 Cor. 5:13
Meat for the belly and the belly for the meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. But the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord: and the Lord for the body. 1 Cor. 6:13
Or know you not that he who is joined to a harlot is made one body? For they shall be, saith he, two in one flesh. 1 Cor. 6:16
For you are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body. 1 Cor. 6:20
¤ Now concerning the things whereof you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 1 Cor. 7:1
But for fear of fornication, let every man have his own wife: and let every woman have her own husband. 1 Cor. 7:2
Defraud not one another, except, perhaps, by consent, for a time, that you may give yourselves to prayer: and return together again, lest Satan tempt you for your incontinency. 1 Cor. 7:5
For I would that all men were even as myself. But every one hath his proper gift from God: one after this manner, and another after that. 1 Cor. 7:7
But I say to the unmarried and to the widows: It is good for them if they so continue, even as I. 1 Cor. 7:8
But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burnt. 1 Cor. 7:9
For to the rest I speak, not the Lord. If any brother hath a wife that believeth not and she consent to dwell with him: let him not put her away. 1 Cor. 7:12
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the believing wife: and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband. Otherwise your children should be unclean: but now they are holy. 1 Cor. 7:14
But if the unbeliever depart, let him depart. For a brother or sister is not under servitude in such cases. But God hath called us in peace. 1 Cor. 7:15
For how knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? Or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife? 1 Cor. 7:16
Wast thou called, being a bondman? Care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather. 1 Cor. 7:21
For he that is called in the Lord, being a bondman, is the freeman of the Lord. Likewise he that is called, being free, is the bondman of Christ. 1 Cor. 7:22
I think therefore that this is good for the present necessity: that it is good for a man so to be. 1 Cor. 7:26
And they that use this world, as if they used it not. For the fashion of this world passeth away. 1 Cor. 7:31
But I would have you to be without solicitude. He that is without a wife is solicitous for the things that belong to the Lord: how he may please God. 1 Cor. 7:32
But he that is with a wife is solicitous for the things of the world: how he may please his wife. And he is divided. 1 Cor. 7:33
And this I speak for your profit, not to cast a snare upon you, but for that which is decent and which may give you power to attend upon the Lord, without impediment. 1 Cor. 7:35
But if any man think that he seemeth dishonoured with regard to his virgin, for that she is above the age, and it must so be: let him do what he will. He sinneth not if she marry. 1 Cor. 7:36
For he that hath determined, being steadfast in his heart, having no necessity, but having power of his own will: and hath judged this in his heart, to keep his virgin, doth well. 1 Cor. 7:37
But as for the meats that are sacrificed to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world and that there is no God but one. 1 Cor. 8:4
For although there be that are called gods, either in heaven or on earth (for there be gods many and lords many): 1 Cor. 8:5
But there is not knowledge in every one. For some until this present, with conscience of the idol, eat as a thing sacrificed to an idol: and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 1 Cor. 8:7
But meat doth not commend us to God. For neither, if we eat, shall we have the more: nor, if we eat not, shall we have the less. 1 Cor. 8:8
For if a man see him that hath knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not his conscience, being weak, be emboldened to eat those things which are sacrificed to idols? 1 Cor. 8:10
And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ hath died? 1 Cor. 8:11
And if unto others I be not an apostle, but yet to you I am. For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord. 1 Cor. 9:2
For it is written in the law of Moses: Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? 1 Cor. 9:9
Or doth he say this indeed for our sakes? For these things are written for our sakes: that he that plougheth, should plough in hope and he that thrasheth, in hope to receive fruit. 1 Cor. 9:10
But I have used none of these things. Neither have I written these things, that they should be so done unto me: for it is good for me to die rather than that any man should make my glory void. 1 Cor. 9:15
For if I preach the gospel, it is no glory to me: for a necessity lieth upon me. For woe is unto me if I preach not the gospel. 1 Cor. 9:16
For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation is committed to me. 1 Cor. 9:17
For whereas I was free as to all, I made myself the servant of all, that I might gain the more. 1 Cor. 9:19
And I do all things for the gospel's sake, that I may be made partaker thereof. 1 Cor. 9:23
And every one that striveth for the mastery refraineth himself from all things. And they indeed that they may receive a corruptible crown: but we an incorruptible one. 1 Cor. 9:25
¤ For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud: and all passed through the sea. 1 Cor. 10:1
But with most of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the desert. 1 Cor. 10:5
Now all these things happened to them in figure: and they are written for our correction, upon whom the ends of the world are come. 1 Cor. 10:11
For we, being many, are one bread, one body: all that partake of one bread. 1 Cor. 10:17
All things are lawful for me: but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful for me: but all things do not edify. 1 Cor. 10:23
Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat: asking no question for conscience' sake. 1 Cor. 10:25
If any of them that believe not, invite you, and you be willing to go: eat of any thing that is set before you, asking no question for conscience' sake. 1 Cor. 10:27
But if any man say: This has been sacrificed to idols: do not eat of it, for his sake that told it and for conscience' sake. 1 Cor. 10:28
Conscience I say, not thy own, but the other's. For why is my liberty judged by another man's conscience? 1 Cor. 10:29
If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? 1 Cor. 10:30
But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven. 1 Cor. 11:5
For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head. 1 Cor. 11:6
For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. 1 Cor. 11:8
For the man was not created for the woman: but the woman for the man. 1 Cor. 11:9
For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things of God. 1 Cor. 11:12
But if a woman nourish her hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering. 1 Cor. 11:15
Now this I ordain: not praising you, that you come together, not for the better, but for the worse. 1 Cor. 11:17
For first of all I hear that when you come together in the church, there are schisms among you. And in part I believe it. 1 Cor. 11:18
For there must be also heresies: that they also, who are approved may be made manifest among you. 1 Cor. 11:19
For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk. 1 Cor. 11:21
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread, 1 Cor. 11:23
And giving thanks, broke and said: Take ye and eat: This is my body, which shall be delivered for you. This do for the commemoration of me. 1 Cor. 11:24
In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood. This do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me. 1 Cor. 11:25
For as often as you shall eat this bread and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come. 1 Cor. 11:26
For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord. 1 Cor. 11:29
Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. 1 Cor. 11:33
For as the body is one and hath many members; and all the members of the body, whereas they are many, yet are one body: So also is Christ. 1 Cor. 12:12
For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Gentiles, whether bond or free: and in one Spirit we have all been made to drink. 1 Cor. 12:13
For the body also is not one member, but many. 1 Cor. 12:14
That there might be no schism in the body: but the members might be mutually careful one for another. 1 Cor. 12:25
But be zealous for the better gifts. And I shew unto you yet a more excellent way. 1 Cor. 12:31
For we know in part: and we prophesy in part. 1 Cor. 13:9
¤ Follow after charity, be zealous for spiritual gifts; but rather that you may prophesy. 1 Cor. 14:1
For he that speaketh in a tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man heareth. Yet by the Spirit he speaketh mysteries. 1 Cor. 14:2
And I would have you all to speak with tongues, but rather to prophesy. For greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues: unless perhaps he interpret, that the church may receive edification. 1 Cor. 14:5
For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle? 1 Cor. 14:8
So likewise you, except you utter by the tongue plain speech, how shall it be known what is said? For you shall be speaking into the air. 1 Cor. 14:9
There are, for example, so many kinds of tongues in this world: and none is without voice. 1 Cor. 14:10
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prayeth: but my understanding is without fruit. 1 Cor. 14:14
For thou indeed givest thanks well: but the other is not edified. 1 Cor. 14:17
Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to believers but to unbelievers: but prophecies, not to unbelievers but to believers. 1 Cor. 14:22
For you may all prophesy, one by one, that all may learn and all may be exhorted. 1 Cor. 14:31
For God is not the God of dissension, but of peace: as also I teach in all the churches of the saints. 1 Cor. 14:33
Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak but to be subject, as also the law saith. 1 Cor. 14:34
But if they would learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church. 1 Cor. 14:35
For I delivered unto you first of all, which I also received: how that Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures: 1 Cor. 15:3
For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 1 Cor. 15:9
For whether I or they, so we preach: and so you have believed. 1 Cor. 15:11
For if the dead rise not again, neither is Christ risen again. 1 Cor. 15:16
And if Christ be not risen again, your faith is vain: for you are yet in your sins. 1 Cor. 15:17
For by a man came death: and by a man the resurrection of the dead. 1 Cor. 15:21
For he must reign, until he hath put all his enemies under his feet. 1 Cor. 15:25
For he hath put all things under his feet. And whereas he saith: All things are put under him; undoubtedly, he is excepted, who put all things under him. 1 Cor. 15:27
Otherwise, what shall they do that are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not again at all? Why are they then baptized for them? 1 Cor. 15:29
If (according to man) I fought with beasts at Ephesus, what doth it profit me, if the dead rise not again? Let us eat and drink, for to morrow we shall die. 1 Cor. 15:32
Awake, ye just, and sin not. For some have not the knowledge of God. I speak it to your shame. 1 Cor. 15:34
One is the glory of the sun, another the glory of the moon, and another the glory of the stars. For star differeth from star in glory. 1 Cor. 15:41
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet: for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall rise again incorruptible. And we shall be changed. 1 Cor. 15:52
For this corruptible must put on incorruption: and this mortal must put on immortality. 1 Cor. 15:53
¤ Now concerning the collections that are made for the saints: as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, so do ye also. 1 Cor. 16:1
Now I will come to you, when I shall have passed through Macedonia. For I shall pass through Macedonia. 1 Cor. 16:5
For I will not see you now by the way: for I trust that I shall abide with you some time, if the Lord permit. 1 Cor. 16:7
For a great door and evident is opened unto me: and many adversaries. 1 Cor. 16:9
Now if Timothy come, see that he be with you without fear: for he worketh the work of the Lord, as I also do. 1 Cor. 16:10
Let no man therefore despise him: but conduct ye him on his way in peace, that he may come to me. For I look for him with the brethren. 1 Cor. 16:11
For they have refreshed both my spirit and yours. Know them, therefore, that are such. 1 Cor. 16:18
For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us: so also by Christ doth our comfort abound. 2 Cor. 1:5
Now whether we be in tribulation, it is for your exhortation and salvation: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation: or whether we be exhorted, it is for your exhortation and salvation, which worketh the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer. 2 Cor. 1:6
That our hope for you may be steadfast: knowing that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so shall you be also of the consolation. 2 Cor. 1:7
For we would not have you ignorant, brethren, of our tribulation which came to us in Asia: that we were pressed out of measure above our strength, so that we were weary even of life. 2 Cor. 1:8
You helping withal in prayer for us. That for this gift obtained for us, by the means of many persons, thanks may be given by many in our behalf. 2 Cor. 1:11
For our glory is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity of heart and sincerity of God, and not in carnal wisdom, but in the grace of God, we have conversed in this world: and more abundantly towards you. 2 Cor. 1:12
For we write no other things to you than what you have read and known. And I hope that you shall know unto the end. 2 Cor. 1:13
But God is faithful: for our preaching which was to you, was not, It is, and It is not. 2 Cor. 1:18
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, by me and Sylvanus and Timothy, was not: It is and It is not. But, It is, was in him. 2 Cor. 1:19
For all the promises of God are in him, It is. Therefore also by him, amen to God, unto our glory. 2 Cor. 1:20
not because we exercise dominion over your faith: but we are helpers of your joy. For in faith you stand. 2 Cor. 1:24
For if I make you sorrowful, who is he then that can make me glad, but the same who is made sorrowful by me? 2 Cor. 2:2
For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote to you with many tears: not that you should be made sorrowful: but that you might know the charity I have more abundantly towards you. 2 Cor. 2:4
For to this end also did I write, that I may know the experiment of you, whether you be obedient in all things. 2 Cor. 2:9
And to whom you have pardoned any thing, I also. For, what I have pardoned, if I have pardoned any thing, for your sakes have I done it in the person of Christ: 2 Cor. 2:10
That we be not overreached by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his devices. 2 Cor. 2:11
And when I was come to Troas for the gospel of Christ and a door was opened unto me in the Lord, 2 Cor. 2:12
For we are the good odour of Christ unto God, in them that are saved and in them that perish. 2 Cor. 2:15
To the one indeed the odour of death unto death: but to the others the odour of life unto life. And for these things who is so sufficient? 2 Cor. 2:16
For we are not as many, adulterating the word of God: but with sincerity: but as from God, before God, in Christ we speak. 2 Cor. 2:17
Who also hath made us fit ministers of the new testament, not in the letter but in the spirit. For the letter killeth: but the spirit quickeneth. 2 Cor. 3:6
Now if the ministration of death, engraven with letters upon stones, was glorious (so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance), which is made void: 2 Cor. 3:7
For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more the ministration of justice aboundeth in glory. 2 Cor. 3:9
For even that which was glorious in this part was not glorified by reason of the glory that excelleth. 2 Cor. 3:10
For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is in glory. 2 Cor. 3:11
But their senses were made dull. For, until this present day, the selfsame veil, in the reading of the old testament, remaineth not taken away (because in Christ it is made void). 2 Cor. 3:14
For we preach not ourselves, but Jesus Christ our Lord: and ourselves your servants through Jesus. 2 Cor. 4:5
For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, in the face of Christ Jesus. 2 Cor. 4:6
For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake: that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 2 Cor. 4:11
But having the same spirit of faith, as it is written: I believed, for which cause I have spoken; we also believe. For which cause we speak also: 2 Cor. 4:13
For all things are for your sakes: that the grace, abounding through many, may abound in thanksgiving unto the glory of God. 2 Cor. 4:15
For which cause we faint not: but though our outward man is corrupted, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 2 Cor. 4:16
For that which is at present momentary and light of our tribulation worketh for us above measure, exceedingly an eternal weight of glory. 2 Cor. 4:17
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal: but the things which are not seen, are eternal. 2 Cor. 4:18
¤ For we know, if our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, that we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven. 2 Cor. 5:1
For in this also we groan, desiring to be clothed upon with our habitation that is from heaven. 2 Cor. 5:2
For we also, who are in this tabernacle, do groan, being burthened; because we would not be unclothed, but clothed upon, that that which is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 2 Cor. 5:4
Now he that maketh us for this very thing is God, who hath given us the pledge of the Spirit, 2 Cor. 5:5
(For we walk by faith and not by sight.) 2 Cor. 5:7
For we must all be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ, that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as he hath done, whether it be good or evil. 2 Cor. 5:10
For whether we be transported in mind, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for you. 2 Cor. 5:13
For the charity of Christ presseth us: judging this, that if one died for all, then all were dead. 2 Cor. 5:14
And Christ died for all: that they also who live may not now live to themselves, but unto him who died for them and rose again. 2 Cor. 5:15
For God indeed was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, not imputing to them their sins. And he hath placed in us the word of reconciliation. 2 Cor. 5:19
For Christ therefore we are ambassadors, God as it were exhorting by us, for Christ, we beseech you, be reconciled to God. 2 Cor. 5:20
Him, who knew no sin, he hath made sin for us: that we might be made the justice of God in him. 2 Cor. 5:21
For he saith: In an accepted time have I heard thee and in the day of salvation have I helped thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time: behold, now is the day of salvation. 2 Cor. 6:2
Bear not the yoke with unbelievers. For what participation hath justice with injustice? Or what fellowship hath light with darkness? 2 Cor. 6:14
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God: as God saith: I will dwell in them and walk among them. And I will be their God: and they shall be my people. 2 Cor. 6:16
I speak not this to your condemnation. For we have said before that you are in our hearts: to die together and to live together. 2 Cor. 7:3
Great is my confidence for you: great is my glorying for you. I am filled with comfort: I exceedingly abound with joy in all our tribulation. 2 Cor. 7:4
For also, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest: but we suffered all tribulation. Combats without: fears within. 2 Cor. 7:5
And not by his coming only, but also by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, relating to us your desire, your mourning, your zeal for me: so that I rejoiced the more. 2 Cor. 7:7
For although I made you sorrowful by my epistle, I do not repent. And if I did repent, seeing that the same epistle (although but for a time) did make you sorrowful, 2 Cor. 7:8
Now I am glad: not because you were made sorrowful, but because you were made sorrowful unto penance. For you were made sorrowful according to God, that you might suffer damage by us in nothing. 2 Cor. 7:9
For the sorrow that is according to God worketh penance, steadfast unto salvation: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. 2 Cor. 7:10
For behold this selfsame thing, that you were made sorrowful according to God, how great carefulness it worketh in you: yea defence, yea indignation, yea fear, yea desire, yea zeal, yea revenge. In all things you have shewed yourselves to be undefiled in the matter. 2 Cor. 7:11
Wherefore although I wrote to you, it was not for his sake that I did the wrong, nor for him that suffered it: but to manifest our carefulness that we have for you before God: 2 Cor. 7:12
Therefore we were comforted. But in our consolation we did the more abundantly rejoice for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. 2 Cor. 7:13
For according to their power (I bear them witness) and beyond their power, they were willing: 2 Cor. 8:3
For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that being rich he became poor for your sakes: that through his poverty you might be rich. 2 Cor. 8:9
And herein I give my advice: for this is profitable for you who have begun not only to do but also to be willing, a year ago. 2 Cor. 8:10
For if the will be forward, it is accepted according to that which a man hath: not according to that which he hath not. 2 Cor. 8:12
For I mean not that others should be eased and you burdened, 2 Cor. 8:13
And thanks be to God, who hath given the same carefulness for you in the heart of Titus. 2 Cor. 8:16
For indeed he accepted the exhortation: but, being more careful, of his own will he went unto you. 2 Cor. 8:17
And not that only: but he was also ordained by the churches companion of our travels, for this grace, which is administered by us, to the glory of the Lord and our determined will: 2 Cor. 8:19
For we forecast what may be good, not only before God but also before men. 2 Cor. 8:21
Either for Titus, who is my companion and fellow labourer towards you, or our brethren, the apostles of the churches, the glory of Christ. 2 Cor. 8:23
¤ For concerning the ministry that is done towards the saints, it is superfluous for me to write unto you. 2 Cor. 9:1
For I know your forward mind: for which I boast of you to the Macedonians, that Achaia also is ready from the year past. And your emulation hath provoked very many. 2 Cor. 9:2
Every one as he hath determined in his heart, not with sadness or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 2 Cor. 9:7
As it is written: He hath dispersed abroad, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever. 2 Cor. 9:9
By the proof of this ministry, glorifying God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ and for the simplicity of your communicating unto them and unto all. 2 Cor. 9:13
And in their praying for you, being desirous of you, because of the excellent grace of God in you. 2 Cor. 9:14
Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift. 2 Cor. 9:15
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 2 Cor. 10:3
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty to God, unto the pulling down of fortifications, destroying counsels, 2 Cor. 10:4
For if also I should boast somewhat more of our power, which the Lord hath given us unto edification and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed. 2 Cor. 10:8
(For his epistles indeed, say they, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak and his speech contemptible): 2 Cor. 10:10
For we dare not match or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but we measure ourselves by ourselves and compare ourselves with ourselves. 2 Cor. 10:12
For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as if we reached not unto you. For we are come as far as to you in the Gospel of Christ. 2 Cor. 10:14
For not he who commendeth himself is approved: but he, whom God commendeth. 2 Cor. 10:18
For I am jealous of you with the jealousy of God. For I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 2 Cor. 11:2
For if he that cometh preacheth another Christ, whom we have not preached; or if you receive another Spirit, whom you have not received; or another gospel, which you have not received: you might well bear with him. 2 Cor. 11:4
For I suppose that I have done nothing less than the great apostles. 2 Cor. 11:5
For although I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge: but in all things we have been made manifest to you. 2 Cor. 11:6
I have taken from other churches, receiving wages of them for your ministry. 2 Cor. 11:8
And, when I was present with you and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was wanting to me, the brethren supplied who came from Macedonia. And in all things I have kept myself from being burthensome to you: and so I will keep myself. 2 Cor. 11:9
For such false apostles are deceitful workmen, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 2 Cor. 11:13
And no wonder: for Satan himself transformeth himself into an angel of light. 2 Cor. 11:14
For you gladly suffer the foolish: whereas yourselves are wise. 2 Cor. 11:19
For you suffer if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take from you, if a man be lifted up, if a man strike you on the face. 2 Cor. 11:20
Besides those things which are without: my daily instance, the solicitude for all the churches. 2 Cor. 11:28
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed for ever, knoweth that I lie not. 2 Cor. 11:31
For such an one I will glory: but for myself I will glory nothing but in my infirmities. 2 Cor. 12:5
For though I should have a mind to glory, I shall not be foolish: for I will say the truth. But I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth in me, or any thing he heareth from me. 2 Cor. 12:6
For which thing, thrice I besought the Lord that it might depart from me. 2 Cor. 12:8
And he said to me: My grace is sufficient for thee: for power is made perfect in infirmity. Gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me. 2 Cor. 12:9
For which cause I please myself in my infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ. For when I am weak, then am I powerful. 2 Cor. 12:10
I am become foolish. You have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended by you. For I have no way come short of them that are above measure apostles, although I be nothing. 2 Cor. 12:11
For what is there that you have had less than the other churches but that I myself was not burthensome to you? Pardon me this injury. 2 Cor. 12:13
Behold now the third time I am ready to come to you and I will not be burthensome unto you. For I seek not the things that are yours, but you. For neither ought the children to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. 2 Cor. 12:14
But I most gladly will spend and be spent myself for your souls: although loving you more, I be loved less. 2 Cor. 12:15
Of old, think you that we excuse ourselves to you? We speak before God in Christ: but all things, my dearly beloved, for your edification. 2 Cor. 12:19
For I fear lest perhaps, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found by you such as you would not. Lest perhaps contentions, envyings, animosities, dissensions, detractions, whisperings, swellings, seditions, be among you. 2 Cor. 12:20
Lest again, when I come, God humble me among you: and I mourn many of them that sinned before and have not done penance for the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness that they have committed. 2 Cor. 12:21
For although he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him: but we shall live with him by the power of God towards you. 2 Cor. 13:4
For we can do nothing against the truth: but for the truth. 2 Cor. 13:8
For we rejoice that we are weak and you are strong. This also we pray for, your perfection. 2 Cor. 13:9
For the rest, brethren, rejoice, be perfect, take exhortation, be of one mind, have peace. And the God of peace and of love shall be with you. 2 Cor. 13:11
Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present wicked world, according to the will of God and our Father: Gal. 1:4
To whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen. Gal. 1:5
For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? If I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. Gal. 1:10
For I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. Gal. 1:11
For neither did I receive it of man: nor did I learn it but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Gal. 1:12
For you have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion: how that, beyond measure, I persecuted the church of God and wasted it. Gal. 1:13
And I made progress in the Jews' religion above many of my equals in my own nation, being more abundantly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. Gal. 1:14
To whom we yielded not by subjection: no, not for an hour: that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. Gal. 2:5
But of them who seemed to be some thing, (what they were some time it is nothing to me, God accepteth not the person of man): for to me they that seemed to be some thing added nothing. Gal. 2:6
(For he who wrought in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision wrought in me also among the Gentiles.) Gal. 2:8
For before that some came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them who were of the circumcision. Gal. 2:12
For if I build up again the things which I have destroyed, I make myself a prevaricator. Gal. 2:18
For I, through the law, am dead to the law, that I may live to God; Gal. 2:19
With Christ I am nailed to the cross. And I live, now not I: but Christ liveth in me. And that I live now in the flesh: I live in the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and delivered himself for me. Gal. 2:20
I cast not away the grace of God. For if justice be by the law, then Christ died in vain. Gal. 2:21
For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: Cursed is every one that abideth, not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. Gal. 3:10
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us (for it is written: Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree). Gal. 3:13
For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise. Gal. 3:18
Was the law then against the promises of God: God forbid! For if there had been a law given which could give life, verily justice should have been by the law. Gal. 3:21
For you are all the children of God, by faith in Christ Jesus. Gal. 3:26
For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ have put on Christ. Gal. 3:27
There is neither Jew nor Greek: there is neither bond nor free: there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal. 3:28
Where is then your blessedness? For I bear you witness that, if it could be done, you would have plucked out your own eyes and would have given them to me. Gal. 4:15
They are zealous in your regard not well: but they would exclude you, that you might be zealous for them. Gal. 4:17
But be zealous for that which is good in a good thing always: and not only when I am present with you. Gal. 4:18
And I would willingly be present with you now and change my voice: because I am ashamed for you. Gal. 4:20
For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman and the other by a free woman. Gal. 4:22
Which things are said by an allegory. For these are the two testaments. The one from Mount Sina, engendering unto bondage, which is Agar. Gal. 4:24
For Sina is a mountain in Arabia, which hath affinity to that Jerusalem which now is: and is in bondage with her children. Gal. 4:25
For it is written: Rejoice, thou barren, that bearest not: break forth and cry thou that travailest not: for many are the children of the desolate, more than of her that hath a husband. Gal. 4:27
But what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman. Gal. 4:30
For we in spirit, by faith, wait for the hope of justice. Gal. 5:5
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing nor uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by Charity. Gal. 5:6
For you, brethren, have been called unto liberty. Only make not liberty an occasion to the flesh: but by charity of the spirit serve one another. Gal. 5:13
For all the law is fulfilled in one word: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Gal. 5:14
For the flesh lusteth against the spirit: and the spirit against the flesh: For these are contrary one to another: so that you do not the things that you would. Gal. 5:17
For if any man think himself to be some thing, whereas he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. Gal. 6:3
For every one shall bear his own burden. Gal. 6:5
Be not deceived: God is not mocked. For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap. Gal. 6:7
For he that soweth in his flesh of the flesh also shall reap corruption. But he that soweth in the spirit of the spirit shall reap life everlasting. Gal. 6:8
And in doing good, let us not fail. For in due time we shall reap, not failing. Gal. 6:9
For as many as desire to please in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised, only that they may not suffer the persecution of the cross of Christ. Gal. 6:12
For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law: but they will have you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. Gal. 6:13
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision: but a new creature. Gal. 6:15
From henceforth let no man be troublesome to me: for I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus in my body. Gal. 6:17
Cease not to give thanks for you, making commemoration of you in my prayers, Eph. 1:16
But God (who is rich in mercy) for his exceeding charity wherewith he loved us Eph. 2:4
For by grace you are saved through faith: and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God. Eph. 2:8
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them. Eph. 2:10
For which cause be mindful that you, being heretofore gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands: Eph. 2:11
For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh: Eph. 2:14
For by him we have access both in one Spirit to the Father. Eph. 2:18
¤ For this cause, I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ, for you Gentiles: Eph. 3:1
Wherefore I pray you not to faint at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. Eph. 3:13
For this cause I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Eph. 3:14
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Eph. 4:12
Wherefore, putting away lying, speak ye the truth, every man with his neighbour. For we are members one of another. Eph. 4:25
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us and hath delivered himself for us, an oblation and a sacrifice to God for an odour of sweetness. Eph. 5:2
For know you this and understand: That no fornicator or unclean or covetous person (which is a serving of idols) hath inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Eph. 5:5
Let no man deceive you with vain words. For because of these things cometh the anger of God upon the children of unbelief. Eph. 5:6
For you were heretofore darkness, but now light in the Lord. Walk then as children of the light. Eph. 5:8
For the fruit of the light is in all goodness and justice and truth: Eph. 5:9
For the things that are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of. Eph. 5:12
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for all that is made manifest is light. Eph. 5:13
Giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father: Eph. 5:20
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ also loved the church and delivered himself up for it: Eph. 5:25
For no man ever hated his own flesh, but nourisheth and cherisheth it, as also Christ doth the church: Eph. 5:29
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother: and shall cleave to his wife. And they shall be two in one flesh. Eph. 5:31
¤ Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is just. Eph. 6:1
For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places. Eph. 6:12
By all prayer and supplication praying at all times in the spirit: and in the same watching with all instance and supplication for all the saints: Eph. 6:18
And for me, that speech may be given me, that I may open my mouth with confidence, to make known the mystery of the gospel, Eph. 6:19
For which I am an ambassador in a chain: so that therein I may be bold to speak according as I ought. Eph. 6:20
Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose: that you may know the things concerning us, and that he may comfort your hearts. Eph. 6:22
Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all with joy: Phil. 1:4
For your communication in the gospel of Christ, from the first day unto now. Phil. 1:5
As it is meet for me to think this for you all, for that I have you in my heart; and that, in my bands and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of my joy. Phil. 1:7
For God is my witness how I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. Phil. 1:8
Some indeed, even out of envy and contention: but some also for good will preach Christ. Phil. 1:15
Some out of charity, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. Phil. 1:17
For I know that this shall fall out to me unto salvation, through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, Phil. 1:19
For to me, to live is Christ: and to die is gain. Phil. 1:21
But to abide still in the flesh is needful for you. Phil. 1:24
And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all, for your furtherance and joy of faith: Phil. 1:25
That your rejoicing may abound in Christ Jesus for me, by my coming to you again. Phil. 1:26
Only let your conversation be worthy of the gospel of Christ: that, whether I come and see you, or, being absent, may hear of you, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind labouring together for the faith of the gospel. Phil. 1:27
For unto you it is given for Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him: Phil. 1:29
For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Phil. 2:5
For which cause, God also hath exalted him and hath given him a name which is above all names: Phil. 2:9
For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will. Phil. 2:13
And for the selfsame thing, do you also rejoice and congratulate with me. Phil. 2:18
For I have no man so of the same mind, who with sincere affection is solicitous for you. Phil. 2:20
For all seek the things that are their own not the things that are Jesus Christ's. Phil. 2:21
For indeed he longed after you all: and was sad, for that you had heard that he was sick. Phil. 2:26
For indeed he was sick, nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him. And not only on him, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. Phil. 2:27
Because for the work of Christ he came to the point of death: delivering his life, that he might fulfil that which on your part was wanting towards my service. Phil. 2:30
For we are the circumcision, who in spirit serve God and glory in Christ Jesus, not having confidence in the flesh. Phil. 3:3
But the things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for Christ. Phil. 3:7
Furthermore, I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but as dung, that I may gain Christ. Phil. 3:8
For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping) that they are enemies of the cross of Christ: Phil. 3:18
But our conversation is in heaven: from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ, Phil. 3:20
For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline: think on these things. Phil. 4:8
Now I rejoice in the Lord exceedingly that now at length your thought for me hath flourished again, as you did also think; but you were busied. Phil. 4:10
I speak not as it were for want. For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, to be content therewith. Phil. 4:11
For unto Thessalonica also you sent once and again for my use. Phil. 4:16
We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you. Col. 1:3
For the hope that is laid up for you in heaven, which you have heard in the word of the truth of the gospel, Col. 1:5
As you learned of Epaphras, our most beloved fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ Jesus; Col. 1:7
Therefore we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you and to beg that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding: Col. 1:9
For in him were all things created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers. All things were created by him and in him. Col. 1:16
Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you and fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, which is the church: Col. 1:24
¤ For I would have you know what manner of care I have for you and for them that are at Laodicea and whosoever have not seen my face in the flesh: Col. 2:1
For though I be absent in body, yet in spirit I am with you, rejoicing, and beholding your order and the steadfastness of your faith which is in Christ. Col. 2:5
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead corporeally. Col. 2:9
For you are dead: and your life is hid with Christ in God. Col. 3:3
For which things the wrath of God cometh upon the children of unbelief. Col. 3:6
Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing to the Lord. Col. 3:20
For he that doth wrong shall receive for that which he hath done wrongfully. And there is no respect of persons with God. Col. 3:25
Praying withal for us also, that God may open unto us a door of speech to speak the mystery of Christ (for which also I am bound): Col. 4:3
Whom I have sent to you for this same purpose, that he may know the things that concern you and comfort your hearts: Col. 4:8
Epaphras saluteth you, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, who is always solicitous for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and full in all the will of God. Col. 4:12
For I bear him testimony that he hath much labour for you and for them that are at Laodicea and them at Hierapolis. Col. 4:13
We give thanks to God always for you all: making a remembrance of you in our prayers without ceasing, 1 Th. 1:2
For our gospel hath not been unto you in word only, but in power also: and in the Holy Ghost and in much fulness, as you know what manner of men we have been among you for your sakes. 1 Th. 1:5
For from you was spread abroad the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and in Achaia but also in every place: your faith which is towards God, is gone forth, so that we need not to speak any thing. 1 Th. 1:8
For they themselves relate of us, what manner of entering in we had unto you: and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God. 1 Th. 1:9
And to wait for his Son from heaven (whom he raised up from the dead), Jesus, who hath delivered us from the wrath to come. 1 Th. 1:10
¤ For yourselves know, brethren, our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain: 1 Th. 2:1
For our exhortation was not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deceit. 1 Th. 2:3
For neither have we used at any time the speech of flattery, as you know: nor taken an occasion of covetousness (God is witness): 1 Th. 2:5
For you remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you, we preached among you the gospel of God. 1 Th. 2:9
For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they have from the Jews: 1 Th. 2:14
Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end. 1 Th. 2:16
But we, brethren, being taken away from you for a short time, in sight, not in heart, have hastened the more abundantly to see your face with great desire. 1 Th. 2:17
For we would have come unto you, I Paul indeed, once and again: but Satan hath hindered us. 1 Th. 2:18
For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? 1 Th. 2:19
For you are our glory and joy. 1 Th. 2:20
¤ For which cause, forbearing no longer, we thought it good to remain at Athens alone. 1 Th. 3:1
That no man should be moved in these tribulations: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. 1 Th. 3:3
For even when we were with you, we foretold you that we should suffer tribulations: as also it is come to pass, and you know. 1 Th. 3:4
For this cause also, I, forbearing no longer, sent to know your faith: lest perhaps he that tempteth should have tempted you: and our labour should be made vain. 1 Th. 3:5
For what thanks can we return to God for you, in all the joy wherewith we rejoice for you before our God, 1 Th. 3:9
¤ For the rest therefore, brethren, we pray and beseech you in the Lord Jesus that, as you have received from us, how you ought to walk and to please God, so also you would walk, that you may abound the more. 1 Th. 4:1
For you know what precepts I have given to you by the Lord Jesus. 1 Th. 4:2
For this is the will of God, your sanctification: That you should abstain from fornication: 1 Th. 4:3
For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto sanctification. 1 Th. 4:7
But as touching the charity of brotherhood, we have no need to write to you: for yourselves have learned of God to love one another. 1 Th. 4:9
For indeed you do it towards all the brethren in all Macedonia. But we entreat you, brethren, that you abound more: 1 Th. 4:10
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again: even so them who have slept through Jesus, will God bring with him. 1 Th. 4:14
For this we say unto you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them who have slept. 1 Th. 4:15
For the Lord himself shall come down from heaven with commandment and with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God: and the dead who are in Christ shall rise first. 1 Th. 4:16
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord shall so come as a thief in the night. 1 Th. 5:2
For when they shall say: Peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape. 1 Th. 5:3
For all you are the children of light and children of the day: we are not of the night nor of darkness. 1 Th. 5:5
For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunk, are drunk in the night. 1 Th. 5:7
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, having on the breast plate of faith and charity and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation. 1 Th. 5:8
For God hath not appointed us unto wrath: but unto the purchasing of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Th. 5:9
Who died for us: that, whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with him. 1 Th. 5:10
For which cause comfort one another and edify one another, as you also do. 1 Th. 5:11
That you esteem them more abundantly in charity, for their work's sake. Have peace with them. 1 Th. 5:13
See that none render evil for evil to any man: but ever follow that which is good towards each other and towards all men. 1 Th. 5:15
In all things give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you all. 1 Th. 5:18
Brethren, pray for us. 1 Th. 5:25
We are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren, as it is fitting, because your faith groweth exceedingly and the charity of every one of you towards each other aboundeth. 2 Th. 1:3
So that we ourselves also glory in you in the churches of God, for your patience and faith, and in all your persecutions and tribulations: which you endure 2 Th. 1:4
For an example of the just judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which also you suffer. 2 Th. 1:5
Wherefore also we pray always for you: That our God would make you worthy of his vocation and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness and the work of faith in power: 2 Th. 1:11
Let no man deceive you by any means: for unless there come a revolt first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition 2 Th. 2:3
For the mystery of iniquity already worketh: only that he who now holdeth do hold, until he be taken out of the way. 2 Th. 2:7
But we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brethren, beloved of God, for that God hath chosen you firstfruits unto salvation, in sanctification of the spirit and faith of the truth: 2 Th. 2:13
¤ For the rest, brethren, pray for us that the word of God may run and may be glorified, even as among you: 2 Th. 3:1
And that we may be delivered from importunate and evil men: for all men have not faith. 2 Th. 3:2
For yourselves know how you ought to imitate us. For we were not disorderly among you. 2 Th. 3:7
Neither did we eat any man's bread for nothing: but in labour and in toil we worked night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you. 2 Th. 3:8
For also, when we were with you, this we declared to you: that, if any man will not work, neither let him eat. 2 Th. 3:10
For we have heard there are some among you who walk disorderly: working not at all, but curiously meddling. 2 Th. 3:11
Knowing this: That the law is not made for the just man but for the unjust and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the wicked and defiled, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1 Tim. 1:9
For fornicators, for them who defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and whatever other thing is contrary to sound doctrine: 1 Tim. 1:10
I give him thanks who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he hath counted me faithful, putting me in the ministry: 1 Tim. 1:12
But for this cause have I obtained mercy: that in me first Christ Jesus might shew forth all patience, for the information of them that shall believe in him unto life everlasting. 1 Tim. 1:16
Now to the king of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Tim. 1:17
¤ I desire therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgivings be made for all men: 1 Tim. 2:1
For kings and for all that are in high station: that we may lead a quiet and a peaceable life in all piety and chastity. 1 Tim. 2:2
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour, 1 Tim. 2:3
For there is one God: and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesus: 1 Tim. 2:5
Who gave himself a redemption for all, a testimony in due times. 1 Tim. 2:6
For Adam was first formed; then Eve. 1 Tim. 2:13
For they that have ministered well shall purchase to themselves a good degree and much confidence in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 1 Tim. 3:13
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be rejected that is received with thanksgiving: 1 Tim. 4:4
For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. 1 Tim. 4:5
For bodily exercise is profitable to little: but godliness is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 1 Tim. 4:8
For therefore we labour and are reviled, because we hope in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, especially of the faithful. 1 Tim. 4:10
Take heed to thyself and to doctrine: be earnest in them. For in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee. 1 Tim. 4:16
But if any widow have children or grandchildren, let her learn first to govern her own house and to make a return of duty to her parents; for this is acceptable before God. 1 Tim. 5:4
For she that liveth in pleasures is dead while she is living. 1 Tim. 5:6
Having testimony for her good works, if she have brought up children, if she have received to harbour, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have ministered to them that suffer tribulation, if she have diligently followed every good work. 1 Tim. 5:10
But the younger widows avoid. For when they have grown wanton in Christ, they will marry: 1 Tim. 5:11
For some are already turned aside after Satan. 1 Tim. 5:15
If any of the faithful have widows, let him minister to them, and let not the church be charged: that there may be sufficient for them that are widows indeed. 1 Tim. 5:16
For the scripture saith: Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn: and, The labourer is worthy of his reward. 1 Tim. 5:18
Do not still drink water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thy frequent infirmities. 1 Tim. 5:23
For we brought nothing into this world: and certainly we can carry nothing out. 1 Tim. 6:7
For they that will become rich fall into temptation and into the snare of the devil and into many unprofitable and hurtful desires, which drown men into destruction and perdition. 1 Tim. 6:9
For the desire of money is the root of all evils; which some coveting have erred from the faith and have entangled themselves in many sorrows. 1 Tim. 6:10
To lay up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the true life. 1 Tim. 6:19
For which cause I admonish thee that thou stir up the grace of God which is in thee by the imposition of my hands. 2 Tim. 1:6
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but of power and of love and of sobriety. 2 Tim. 1:7
For which cause, I also suffer these things: but I am not ashamed. For I know whom I have believed and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him, against that day. 2 Tim. 1:12
For he also that striveth for the mastery is not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 2 Tim. 2:5
Understand what I say: for the Lord will give thee in all things understanding. 2 Tim. 2:7
Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus, with heavenly glory. 2 Tim. 2:10
A faithful saying: for if we be dead with him, we shall live also with him. 2 Tim. 2:11
Of these things put them in mind, charging them before the Lord. Contend not in words: for it is to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 2 Tim. 2:14
But shun profane and vain babblings: for they grow much towards ungodliness. 2 Tim. 2:16
For of these sort are they who creep into houses and lead captive silly women laden with sins, who are led away with divers desires: 2 Tim. 3:6
But they shall proceed no farther: for their folly shall be manifest to all men, as theirs also was. 2 Tim. 3:9
For there shall be a time when they will not endure sound doctrine but, according to their own desires, they will heap to themselves teachers having itching ears: 2 Tim. 4:3
For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand. 2 Tim. 4:6
As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming. 2 Tim. 4:8
For Demas hath left me, loving this world, and is gone to Thessalonica: Crescens into Galatia, Titus into Dalmatia. 2 Tim. 4:10
Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry. 2 Tim. 4:11
Whom do thou also avoid: for he hath greatly withstood our words. 2 Tim. 4:15
The Lord hath delivered me from every evil work and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom. To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 2 Tim. 4:18
For this cause I left thee in Crete: that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee: Tit. 1:5
For a bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not subject to anger, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre: Tit. 1:7
For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision. Tit. 1:10
Who must be reproved, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. Tit. 1:11
For the grace of God our Saviour hath appeared to all men: Tit. 2:11
Looking for the blessed hope and coming of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Tit. 2:13
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and might cleanse to himself a people acceptable, a pursuer of good works. Tit. 2:14
For we ourselves also were some time unwise, incredulous, erring, slaves to divers desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. Tit. 3:3
But avoid foolish questions and genealogies and contentions and strivings about the law. For they are unprofitable and vain. Tit. 3:9
When I shall send to thee Artemas or Tychicus, make haste to come unto me to Nicopolis. For there I have determined to winter. Tit. 3:12
And let our men also learn to excel in good works for necessary uses: that they be not unfruitful. Tit. 3:14
For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother. Ph'm 1:7
For charity sake I rather beseech, whereas thou art such a one, as Paul, an old man and now a prisoner also of Jesus Christ. Ph'm 1:9
I beseech thee for my son, whom I have begotten in my bands, Onesimus, Ph'm 1:10
For perhaps he therefore departed for a season from thee that thou mightest receive him again for ever: Ph'm 1:15
But withal prepare me also a lodging. For I hope that through your prayers I shall be given unto you. Ph'm 1:22
For to which of the angels hath he said at any time: Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee? And again: I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? Heb. 1:5
But to the Son: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of justice is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Heb. 1:8
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister for them who shall receive the inheritance of salvation? Heb. 1:14
For if the word spoken by angels became steadfast and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward: Heb. 2:2
For God hath not subjected unto angels the world to come, whereof we speak. Heb. 2:5
Thou hast subjected all things under his feet. For in that he hath subjected all things to him he left nothing not subject to him. But now we see not as yet all things subject to him. Heb. 2:8
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour: that, through the grace of God he might taste death for all. Heb. 2:9
For it became him for whom are all things and by whom are all things, who had brought many children into glory, to perfect the author of their salvation, by his passion. Heb. 2:10
For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one. For which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying: Heb. 2:11
For nowhere doth he take hold of the angels: but of the seed of Abraham he taketh hold. Heb. 2:16
Wherefore, it behoved him in all things to be made like unto his brethren, that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest before God, that he might be a propitiation for the sins of the people. Heb. 2:17
For in that wherein he himself hath suffered and been tempted he is able to succour them also that are tempted. Heb. 2:18
For this man was counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, by so much as he that hath built the house hath greater honour than the house. Heb. 3:3
For every house is built by some man: but he that created all things is God. Heb. 3:4
And Moses indeed was faithful in all his house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be said: Heb. 3:5
Forty years: for which cause I was offended with this generation, and I said: They always err in heart. And they have not known my ways. Heb. 3:10
For we are made partakers of Christ: yet so, if we hold the beginning of his substance firm unto the end. Heb. 3:14
For some who heard did provoke: but not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. Heb. 3:16
For unto us also it hath been declared in like manner as unto them. But the word of hearing did not profit them, not being mixed with faith of those things they heard. Heb. 4:2
For we, who have believed, shall enter into rest; as he said: As I have sworn in my wrath: If they shall enter into my rest; and this indeed when the works from the foundation of the world were finished. Heb. 4:3
For in a certain place he spoke of the seventh day thus: And God rested the seventh day from all his works. Heb. 4:4
For if Jesus had given them rest he would never have afterwards spoken of another day. Heb. 4:8
There remaineth therefore a day of rest for the people of God. Heb. 4:9
For he that is entered into his rest, the same also hath rested from his works, as God did from his. Heb. 4:10
For the word of God is living and effectual and more piercing than any two edged sword; and reaching unto the division of the soul and the spirit, of the joints also and the marrow: and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Heb. 4:12
For we have not a high priest who cannot have compassion on our infirmities: but one tempted in all things like as we are, without sin. Heb. 4:15
¤ For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins: Heb. 5:1
And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. Heb. 5:3
As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech. Heb. 5:6
Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence. Heb. 5:7
For whereas for the time you ought to be masters, you have need to be taught again what are the first elements of the words of God: and you are become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat. Heb. 5:12
For every one that is a partaker of milk is unskilful in the word of justice: for he is a little child. Heb. 5:13
But strong meat is for the perfect: for them who by custom have their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil. Heb. 5:14
For it is impossible for those who were once illuminated, have tasted also the heavenly gift and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, Heb. 6:4
For the earth, that drinketh in the rain which cometh often upon it and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is tilled, receiveth blessing from God. Heb. 6:7
For God is not unjust, that he should forget your work and the love which you have shewn in his name, you who have ministered and do minister to the saints. Heb. 6:10
For God making promise to Abraham, because he had no one greater by whom he might swear, swore by himself, Heb. 6:13
For men swear by one greater than themselves: and an oath for confirmation is the end of all their controversy. Heb. 6:16
That by two immutable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have the strongest comfort, who have fled for refuge to hold fast the hope set before us. Heb. 6:18
Where the forerunner Jesus is entered for us, made a high priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech. Heb. 6:20
¤ For this Melchisedech was king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him: Heb. 7:1
Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but likened unto the Son of God, continueth a priest for ever. Heb. 7:3
For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedech met him. Heb. 7:10
If then perfection was by the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchisedech: and not be called according to the order of Aaron? Heb. 7:11
For the priesthood being translated, it is necessary that a translation also be made of the law, Heb. 7:12
For he of whom these things are spoken is of another tribe, of which no one attended on the altar. Heb. 7:13
For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Juda: in which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests. Heb. 7:14
For he testifieth: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech. Heb. 7:17
For the law brought nothing to perfection: but a bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw nigh to God. Heb. 7:19
(For the others indeed were made priests without an oath: But this with an oath, by him that said unto him: The Lord hath sworn and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever). Heb. 7:21
But this, for that he continueth for ever, hath an everlasting priesthood: Heb. 7:24
Whereby he is able also to save for ever them that come to God by him; always living to make intercession for us. Heb. 7:25
For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens: Heb. 7:26
Who needeth not daily (as the other priests) to offer sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, in offering himself. Heb. 7:27
For the law maketh men priests, who have infirmity: but the word of the oath (which was since the law) the Son who is perfected for evermore. Heb. 7:28
For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that he also should have some thing to offer. Heb. 8:3
For if that former had been faultless, there should not indeed a place have been sought for a second. Heb. 8:7
For, finding fault with them, he saith: Behold the days shall come, saith the Lord: and I will perfect, unto the house of Israel and unto the house of Juda, a new testament: Heb. 8:8
For this is the testament which I will make to the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will give my laws into their mind: and in their heart will I write them. And I will be their God: and they shall be my people. Heb. 8:10
And they shall not teach every man his neighbour and every man his brother, saying: Know the Lord. For all shall know me, from the least to the greatest of them. Heb. 8:11
For there was a tabernacle made the first, wherein were the candlesticks and the table and the setting forth of loaves, which is called the Holy. Heb. 9:2
But into the second, the high priest alone, once a year: not without blood, which he offereth for his own and the people's ignorance: Heb. 9:7
For if the blood of goats and of oxen, and the ashes of an heifer, being sprinkled, sanctify such as are defiled, to the cleansing of the flesh: Heb. 9:13
And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death for the redemption of those transgressions which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Heb. 9:15
For where there is a testament the death of the testator must of necessity come in. Heb. 9:16
For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is as yet of no strength, whilst the testator liveth. Heb. 9:17
For when every commandment of the law had been read by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people. Heb. 9:19
For Jesus is not entered into the Holies made with hands, the patterns of the true: but into Heaven itself, that he may appear now in the presence of God for us. Heb. 9:24
For then he ought to have suffered often from the beginning of the world. But now once, at the end of ages, he hath appeared for the destruction of sin by the sacrifice of himself. Heb. 9:26
¤ For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things, by the selfsame sacrifices which they offer continually every year, can never make the comers thereunto perfect. Heb. 10:1
For then they would have ceased to be offered: because the worshippers once cleansed should have no conscience of sin any longer. Heb. 10:2
For it is impossible that with the blood of oxen and goats sin should be taken away. Heb. 10:4
Holocausts for sin did not please thee. Heb. 10:6
In saying before, Sacrifices, and oblations, and holocausts for sin thou wouldest not, neither are they pleasing to thee, which are offered according to the law. Heb. 10:8
But this man, offering one sacrifice for sins, for ever sitteth on the right hand of God, Heb. 10:12
For by one oblation he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Heb. 10:14
And the Holy Ghost also doth testify this to us. For after that he said: Heb. 10:15
Now, where there is a remission of these, there is no more an oblation for sin. Heb. 10:18
A new and living way which he hath dedicated for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh: Heb. 10:20
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering (for he is faithful that hath promised): Heb. 10:23
For if we sin wilfully after having the knowledge of the truth, there is now left no sacrifice for sins: Heb. 10:26
For we know him that hath said: Vengeance belongeth to me, and I will repay. And again: The Lord shall judge his people. Heb. 10:30
For you both had compassion on them that were in bands and took with joy the being stripped of your own goods, knowing that you have a better and a lasting substance. Heb. 10:34
For patience is necessary for you: that, doing the will of God, you may receive the promise. Heb. 10:36
For yet a little and a very little while, and he that is to come will come and will not delay. Heb. 10:37
¤ Now, faith is the substance of things to be hoped for, the evidence of things that appear not. Heb. 11:1
For by this the ancients obtained a testimony. Heb. 11:2
By faith Henoch was translated that he should not see death: and he was not found because God had translated him. For before his translation he had testimony that he pleased God. Heb. 11:5
But without faith it is impossible to please God. For he that cometh to God must believe that he is: and is a rewarder to them that seek him. Heb. 11:6
By faith Noe, having received an answer concerning those things which as yet were not seen, moved with fear, framed the ark for the saving of his house: by the which he condemned the world and was instituted heir of the justice which is by faith. Heb. 11:7
By faith he that is called Abraham obeyed to go out into a place which he was to receive for an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing whither he went. Heb. 11:8
For he looked for a city that hath foundations: whose builder and maker is God. Heb. 11:10
For which cause there sprung even from one (and him as good as dead) as the stars of heaven in multitude and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. Heb. 11:12
For they that say these things do signify that they seek a country. Heb. 11:14
But now they desire a better, that is to say, a heavenly country. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. Heb. 11:16
Accounting that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Whereupon also he received him for a parable. Heb. 11:19
Rather choosing to be afflicted with the people of God than to have the pleasure of sin for a time: Heb. 11:25
Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasure of the Egyptians. For he looked unto the reward. Heb. 11:26
By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the fierceness of the king: for he endured, as seeing him that is invisible. Heb. 11:27
And what shall I yet say? For the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, Barac, Samson, Jephthe, David, Samuel, and the prophets: Heb. 11:32
God providing some better thing for us, that they should not be perfected without us. Heb. 11:40
For think diligently upon him that endured such opposition from sinners against himself that you be not wearied, fainting in your minds. Heb. 12:3
For you have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. Heb. 12:4
For whom the Lord loveth he chastiseth: and he scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. Heb. 12:6
Persevere under discipline. God dealeth with you as with his sons. For what son is there whom the father doth not correct? Heb. 12:7
Moreover, we have had fathers of our flesh for instructors, and we reverenced them. Shall we not much more obey the Father of spirits and live? Heb. 12:9
And they indeed for a few days, according to their own pleasure, instructed us: but he, for our profit, that we might receive his sanctification. Heb. 12:10
Now all chastisement for the present indeed seemeth not to bring with it joy, but sorrow: but afterwards it will yield to them that are exercised by it the most peaceable fruit of justice. Heb. 12:11
Lest there be any fornicator or profane person, as Esau who for one mess sold his first birthright. Heb. 12:16
For know ye that afterwards, when he desired to inherit the benediction, he was rejected. For he found no place of repentance, although with tears he had sought it. Heb. 12:17
For you are not come to a mountain that might be touched and a burning fire and a whirlwind and darkness and storm, Heb. 12:18
For they did not endure that which was said: and if so much as a beast shall touch the mount, it shall be stoned. Heb. 12:20
See that you refuse him not that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spoke upon the earth, much more shall not we that turn away from him that speaketh to us from heaven. Heb. 12:25
For our God is a consuming fire. Heb. 12:29
And hospitality do not forget: for by this some, being not aware of it, have entertained angels. Heb. 13:2
Marriage honourable in all, and the bed undefiled. For fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Heb. 13:4
Let your manners be without covetousness, contented with such things as you have. For he hath said: I will not leave thee: neither will I forsake thee. Heb. 13:5
Jesus Christ, yesterday, and today: and the same for ever. Heb. 13:8
Be not led away with various and strange doctrines. For it is best that the heart be established with grace, not with meats: which have not profited those that walk in them. Heb. 13:9
For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holies by the high priest for sin are burned without the camp. Heb. 13:11
For, we have not here a lasting city: but we seek one that is to come. Heb. 13:14
And do not forget to do good and to impart: for by such sacrifices God's favour is obtained. Heb. 13:16
Obey your prelates and be subject to them. For they watch as being to render an account of your souls: that they may do this with joy and not with grief. For this is not expedient for you. Heb. 13:17
Pray for us. For we trust we have a good conscience, being willing to behave ourselves well in all things. Heb. 13:18
Fit you in all goodness, that you may do his will; doing in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen. Heb. 13:21
And I beseech you, brethren, that you suffer this word of consolation. For I have written to you in a few words. Heb. 13:22
But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea, which is moved and carried about by the wind. Jas. 1:6
For the sun rose with a burning heat and parched the grass: and the flower thereof fell off, and the beauty of the shape thereof perished. So also shall the rich man fade away in his ways. Jas. 1:11
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for, when he hath been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which God hath promised to them that love him. Jas. 1:12
Let no man, when he is tempted, say that he is tempted by God. For God is not a tempter of evils: and he tempteth no man. Jas. 1:13
For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creatures. Jas. 1:18
For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God. Jas. 1:20
For if a man be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass. Jas. 1:23
For he beheld himself and went his way and presently forgot what manner of man he was. Jas. 1:24
For if there shall come into your assembly a man having a golden ring, in fine apparel; and there shall come in also a poor man in mean attire: Jas. 2:2
For he that said: Thou shalt not commit adultery, said also: Thou shalt not kill. Now if thou do not commit adultery, but shalt kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. Jas. 2:11
For judgment without mercy to him that hath not done mercy. And mercy exalteth itself above judgment. Jas. 2:13
And one of you say to them: Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; yet give them not those things that are necessary for the body, what shall it profit? Jas. 2:16
For even as the body without the spirit is dead: so also faith without works is dead. Jas. 2:26
For in many things we all offend. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man. He is able also with a bridle to lead about the whole body. Jas. 3:2
For if we put bits into the mouths of horses, that they may obey us: and we turn about their whole body. Jas. 3:3
For every nature of beasts and of birds and of serpents and of the rest is tamed and hath been tamed, by the nature of man. Jas. 3:7
For this is not wisdom, descending from above: but earthly, sensual, devilish. Jas. 3:15
For where envying and contention is: there is inconstancy and every evil work. Jas. 3:16
Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is a vapour which appeareth for a little while and afterwards shall vanish away. Jas. 4:14
For that you should say: If the Lord will, and, If we shall live, we will do this or that. Jas. 4:15
Your gold and silver is cankered: and the rust of them shall be for a testimony against you and shall eat your flesh like fire. You have stored up to yourselves wrath against the last days. Jas. 5:3
Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth: patiently bearing till he receive the early and latter rain. Jas. 5:7
Be you therefore also patient and strengthen your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand. Jas. 5:8
Take, my brethren, for an example of suffering evil, of labour and patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. Jas. 5:10
Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much. Jas. 5:16
Elias was a man passible like unto us: and with prayer he prayed that it might not rain upon the earth. And it rained not for three years and six months. Jas. 5:17
Unto an inheritance, incorruptible, and undefiled and that cannot fade, reserved in heaven for you, 1 Pet. 1:4
Wherein you shalt greatly rejoice, if now you must be for a little time made sorrowful in divers temptations: 1 Pet. 1:6
Because it is written: You shall be holy, for I am holy. 1 Pet. 1:16
Foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in the last times for you: 1 Pet. 1:20
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by the word of God who liveth and remaineth for ever. 1 Pet. 1:23
For all flesh is as grass and all the glory thereof as the flower of grass. The grass is withered and the flower thereof is fallen away. 1 Pet. 1:24
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel hath been preached unto you. 1 Pet. 1:25
Be ye subject therefore to every human creature for God's sake: whether it be to the king as excelling, 1 Pet. 2:13
Or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of the good. 1 Pet. 2:14
For so is the will of God, that by doing well you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 1 Pet. 2:15
As free and not as making liberty a cloak for malice, but as the servants of God. 1 Pet. 2:16
For this is thankworthy: if, for conscience towards God, a man endure sorrows, suffering wrongfully. 1 Pet. 2:19
For what glory is it, if, committing sin and being buffeted for it, you endure? But if doing well you suffer patiently: this is thankworthy before God. 1 Pet. 2:20
For unto this are you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example that you should follow his steps. 1 Pet. 2:21
For you were as sheep going astray: but you are now converted to the shepherd and bishop of your souls. 1 Pet. 2:25
For after this manner heretofore, the holy women also who trusted in God adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands: 1 Pet. 3:5
Not rendering evil for evil, nor railing for railing, but contrariwise, blessing: for unto this are you called, that you may inherit a blessing. 1 Pet. 3:9
For he that will love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile. 1 Pet. 3:10
But if also you suffer any thing for justice' sake, blessed are ye. And be not afraid of their fear: and be not troubled. 1 Pet. 3:14
For it is better doing well (if such be the will of God) to suffer than doing ill. 1 Pet. 3:17
Because Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the unjust: that he might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh, but enlivened in the spirit, 1 Pet. 3:18
Which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water. 1 Pet. 3:20
¤ Christ therefore having suffered in the flesh, be you also armed with the same thought: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sins: 1 Pet. 4:1
For the time past is sufficient to have fulfilled the will of the Gentiles, for them who have walked in riotousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings and unlawful worshipping of idols. 1 Pet. 4:3
For, for this cause was the gospel preached also to the dead: That they might be judged indeed according to men, in the flesh: but may live according to God, in the Spirit. 1 Pet. 4:6
But before all things have a constant mutual charity among yourselves: for charity covereth a multitude of sins. 1 Pet. 4:8
If any man speak, let him speak, as the words of God. If any man minister, let him do it, as of the power which God administereth: that in all things God may be honoured through Jesus Christ: to whom is glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Pet. 4:11
If you be reproached for the name of Christ, you shall be blessed: for that which is of the honour, glory and power of God, and that which is his Spirit resteth upon you. 1 Pet. 4:14
For the time is, that judgment should begin at the house of God. And if at first at us, what shall be the end of them that believe not the gospel of God? 1 Pet. 4:17
Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by constraint but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre's sake but voluntarily: 1 Pet. 5:2
In like manner, ye young men, be subject to the ancients. And do you all insinuate humility one to another: for God resisteth the proud, but to the humble he giveth grace. 1 Pet. 5:5
Casting all your care upon him, for he hath care of you. 1 Pet. 5:7
To him be glory and empire, for ever and ever. Amen. 1 Pet. 5:11
For if these things be with you and abound, they will make you to be neither empty nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Pet. 1:8
For he that hath not these things with him is blind and groping, having forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 2 Pet. 1:9
Wherefore, brethren, labour the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election. For doing these things, you shall not sin at any time. 2 Pet. 1:10
For so an entrance shall be ministered to you abundantly into the ever-lasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 2 Pet. 1:11
For which cause, I will begin to put you always in remembrance of these things: though indeed you know them and are confirmed in the present truth. 2 Pet. 1:12
For we have not by following artificial fables made known to you the power and presence of our Lord Jesus Christ: but we were eyewitnesses of his greatness. 2 Pet. 1:16
For he received from God the Father honour and glory, this voice coming down to him from the excellent glory: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear ye him. 2 Pet. 1:17
For prophecy came not by the will of man at any time: but the holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy Ghost. 2 Pet. 1:21
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but delivered them, drawn down by infernal ropes to the lower hell, unto torments, to be reserved unto judgment: 2 Pet. 2:4
For in sight and hearing he was just, dwelling among them who from day to day vexed the just soul with unjust works. 2 Pet. 2:8
Receiving the reward of their injustice, counting for a pleasure the delights of a day: stains and spots, sporting themselves to excess, rioting in their feasts with you: 2 Pet. 2:13
For, speaking proud words of vanity, they allure by the desires of fleshly riotousness those who for a little while escape, such as converse in error: 2 Pet. 2:18
Promising them liberty, whereas they themselves are the slaves of corruption. For by whom a man is overcome, of the same also he is the slave. 2 Pet. 2:19
For if, flying from the pollutions of the world, through the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they be again entangled in them and overcome: their latter state is become unto them worse than the former. 2 Pet. 2:20
For it had been better for them not to have known the way of justice than, after they have known it, to turn back from that holy commandment which was delivered to them. 2 Pet. 2:21
For, that of the true proverb has happened to them: The dog is returned to his vomit; and: The sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire. 2 Pet. 2:22
Saying: Where is his promise or his coming? For since the time that the fathers slept, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 2 Pet. 3:4
For this they are wilfully ignorant of: That the heavens were before, and the earth out of water and through water, consisting by the word of God: 2 Pet. 3:5
The Lord delayeth not his promise, as some imagine, but dealeth patiently for your sake, not willing that any should perish, but that all should return to penance, 2 Pet. 3:9
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of the Lord, by which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with the burning heat? 2 Pet. 3:12
But we look for new heavens and a new earth according to his promises, in which justice dwelleth. 2 Pet. 3:13
Wherefore, dearly beloved, waiting for these things, be diligent that you may be found before him unspotted and blameless in peace. 2 Pet. 3:14
For the life was manifested: and we have seen and do bear witness and declare unto you the life eternal, which was with the Father and hath appeared to us. 1 Jn. 1:2
And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. 1 Jn. 2:2
I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. 1 Jn. 2:12
For all that is in the world is the concupiscence of the flesh and the concupiscence of the eyes and the pride of life, which is not of the Father but is of the world. 1 Jn. 2:16
And the world passeth away and the concupiscence thereof: but he that doth the will of God abideth for ever. 1 Jn. 2:17
They went out from us but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would no doubt have remained with us: but that they may be manifest, that they are not all of us. 1 Jn. 2:19
As for you, let that which you have heard from the beginning abide in you. If that abide in you, which you have heard from the beginning, you also shall abide in the Son and in the Father. 1 Jn. 2:24
And as for you, let the unction, which you have received from him abide in you. And you have no need that any man teach you: but as his unction teacheth you of all things and is truth and is no lie. And as it hath taught you, abide in him. 1 Jn. 2:27
He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God appeared, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 Jn. 3:8
Whosoever is born of God committeth not sin: for his seed abideth in him. And he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1 Jn. 3:9
For this is the declaration which you have heard from the beginning, that you should love one another. 1 Jn. 3:11
In this we have known the charity of God, because he hath laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 1 Jn. 3:16
For if our heart reprehend us, God is greater than our heart and knoweth all things. 1 Jn. 3:20
Dearly beloved, let us love one another: for charity is of God. And every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. 1 Jn. 4:7
He that loveth not knoweth not God: for God is charity. 1 Jn. 4:8
In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins. 1 Jn. 4:10
If any man say: I love God, and hateth his brother; he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother whom he seeth, how can he love God whom he seeth not? 1 Jn. 4:20
For this is the charity of God: That we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not heavy. 1 Jn. 5:3
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world. And this is the victory which overcometh the world: Our faith. 1 Jn. 5:4
If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater. For this is the testimony of God, which is greater, because he hath testified of his Son. 1 Jn. 5:9
He that knoweth his brother to sin a sin which is not to death, let him ask: and life shall be given to him who sinneth not to death. There is a sin unto death. For that I say not that any man ask. 1 Jn. 5:16
For the sake of the truth which dwelleth in us and shall be with us for ever. 2 Jn. 1:2
And this is charity: That we walk according to his commandments. For this is the commandment that, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in the same: 2 Jn. 1:6
For many seducers are gone out into the world who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a seducer and an antichrist. 2 Jn. 1:7
For he that saith unto him: God speed you, communicateth with his wicked works. 2 Jn. 1:11
Having more things to write unto you, I would not by paper and ink: for I hope that I shall be with you and speak face to face, that your joy may be full. 2 Jn. 1:12
Dearly beloved, thou dost faithfully whatever thou dost for the brethren: and that for strangers, 3 Jn. 1:5
Because, for his name they went out, taking nothing of the Gentiles. 3 Jn. 1:7
For this cause, if I come, I will advertise his works which he doth, with malicious words prating against us. And as if these things were not enough for him, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and them that do receive them he forbiddeth, and casteth out of the church. 3 Jn. 1:10
Dearly beloved, taking all care to write unto you concerning your common salvation, I was under a necessity to write unto you: to beseech you to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. Jude 1:3
For certain men are secretly entered in (who were written of long ago unto this judgment), ungodly men, turning the grace of our Lord God into riotousness and denying the only sovereign Ruler and our Lord Jesus Christ. Jude 1:4
Woe unto them! For they have gone in the way of Cain: and after the error of Balaam they have for reward poured out themselves and have perished in the contradiction of Core. Jude 1:11
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own confusion: wandering stars, to whom the storm of darkness is reserved for ever. Jude 1:13
To execute judgment upon all and to reprove all the ungodly for all the works of their ungodliness, whereby they have done ungodly: and for all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against God. Jude 1:15
These are murmurers, full of complaints, walking according to their own desires: and their mouth speaketh proud things, admiring persons, for gain's sake. Jude 1:16
Keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, unto life everlasting. Jude 1:21
To the only God our Saviour through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory and magnificence, empire and power, before all ages, and now, and for all ages of ages. Amen. Jude 1:25

Thou art worthy, O Lord our God, to receive glory and honour and power. Because thou hast created all things: and for thy will they were and have been created. Apoc. 4:11
And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard all saying: To him that sitteth on the throne and to the Lamb, benediction and honour and glory and power, for ever and ever. Apoc. 5:13
And the four living creatures said: Amen. And the four and twenty ancients fell down on their faces and adored him that liveth for ever and ever. Apoc. 5:14

And left perhaps for vs the floores of the iust be not filled, for the sinnes of the inhabitantes vpon the earth. 4 Esd. 4:39
For as she that is: In trauail maketh hast, to escape the necessitie of trauailing: so this also hasteneth to render those thinges which are commended to it. 4 Esd. 4:42
And I sayd: Speake my Lord. And he sayd to me: Thou art become excedingly in excesse of minde for Israel: hast thou loued it more then him that made it? 4 Esd. 5:33
And I sayd to him: No Lord, but for sorow I haue spoken, for my veynes torment me euerie houre, to apprehend the pathe of the Highest, and to search part of his iudgement. 4 Esd. 5:34
And I sayd: Lord Dominatour, for who is there that can know these thinges, but he that hath not his habitation with men? 4 Esd. 5:38
And he sayd to me: And I haue geuen a matrice to the earth for them, that are sowen vpon it by time. 4 Esd. 5:48
For as the infant bringeth not forth the thinges that perteyne to the aged, so haue I disposed the world created of me. 4 Esd. 5:49
And I asked, and sayd: Wheras thou hast now geuen me a way, I wil speake before thee: for our mother, of whom thou toldest me, yet she is yong: now draweth nigh to old age. 4 Esd. 5:50
For thou shalt say to her: Why are not they whom thou hast brought forth, now like to them that were before thee, but lesse of stature? 4 Esd. 5:52
for the end of this world is Esau, and the begynning of the next Iacob. 4 Esd. 6:9
for concerning them the word trembleth and is moued, for it knoweth that their end must be changed. 4 Esd. 6:16
For euil shal be put out, and deceite shal be extinguished, 4 Esd. 6:27
For thy voice is heard before the Highest. For the strong hath sene thy direction, and hath fore sene the chastitie which thou hast had from thy youth: 4 Esd. 6:32
and for this cause he hath sent me to shew thee al these thinges, and to say to thee, haue confidence, and feare not, 4 Esd. 6:33
For my spirit was inflamed excedingly, and my soul was distressed. 4 Esd. 6:37
For thy word proceded, and the worke forth with was made. 4 Esd. 6:43
For sodenly came forth fruite of multitude infinite, and diurse tastes of concupiscence, and flowers of vnchangeable colour, and odours of vnsearcheable smel, and in the third day these thinges were made. 4 Esd. 6:44
and thou didst separate them from eche other. For the seuenth part, where the water was gathered together, could not hold them. 4 Esd. 6:50
And al these thinges I haue sayd before thee o Lord, because thou didst create the world for vs. 4 Esd. 6:55
And now Lord, behold these nations which are reputed for nothing, haue begune to rule ouer vs, and to deuoure vs: 4 Esd. 6:57
and if the world was created for vs, why doe not we possesse inheritance with the world? how long these thinges? 4 Esd. 6:59
For who witting wil enter into the sea, and see it, or rule ouer it: if he passe not the streite, how shal he come into the bredth? 4 Esd. 7:5
And if the citie shal be geuen a man for inheritance, if he neuer passe through the peril set before it, how shal he receiue his inhertance? 4 Esd. 7:9
For I made the world for them: and when Adam transgressed my constitution, that was iudged which was done. 4 Esd. 7:11
For the entrances of the greater world are large andsecure, and making fruite of immortalitie. 4 Esd. 7:13
But the iust shal suffer the streites, hoping for the wyde places, for they that haue done impiously, haue both suffered the streites, and shal not see the wide places. 4 Esd. 7:18
For manie present doe perish, because the law of God which was set before, is neglected. 4 Esd. 7:20
For God commanding commanded them that came, when they came, what doing they should liue, and what obseruing they should not be punished. 4 Esd. 7:21
For this cause Esdras, the emptie to the emptie, and the ful to the ful. 4 Esd. 7:25
For my sonne IESVS shal be reueled with them that are with him, and they shal be merie that are leaft in the foure hundred yeares. 4 Esd. 7:28
for it shall endure as it were a week of years. 4 Esd. 7:43
But as touching them for whom my prayer was made, what shall I say? for who is there of them that be alive that hath not sinned, and who of the sons of men that hath not transgressed thy covenant? 4 Esd. 7:46
For an evil heart hath grown up in us, which hath led us astray from these statutes, and hath brought us into corruption and into the ways of death, hath shewed us the paths of perdition and removed us far from life; and that, not a few only, but well nigh all that have been created. 4 Esd. 7:48
for this cause the Most High hath not made one world, but two. 4 Esd. 7:50
For whereas thou hast said that the just are not many, but few, and the ungodly abound, hear the answer thereunto. 4 Esd. 7:51
If thou have choice stones exceeding few, wilt thou set for thee over against them according to their number things of lead and clay? 4 Esd. 7:52
For thou shalt say unto her, Thou bringest forth gold and silver and brass, and iron also and lead and clay: 4 Esd. 7:55
And I said, O Lord that bearest rule, that which is plentiful is of less worth, for that which is more rare is more precious. 4 Esd. 7:58
And he answered me, and said, Weigh within thyself the things that thou hast thought, for he that hath what is hard to get rejoiceth over him that hath what is plentiful. 4 Esd. 7:59
So also is the judgement which I have promised: for I will rejoice over the few that shall be saved, inasmuch as these are they that have made my glory now to prevail, and of whom my name is now named. 4 Esd. 7:60
And I will not grieve over the multitude of them that perish; for these are they that are now like unto vapour, and are become as flame and smoke; they are set on fire and burn hotly, and are quenched. 4 Esd. 7:61
For it were better that the dust itself had been unborn, so that the mind might not have been made therefrom. 4 Esd. 7:63
For it is far better with them than with us; for they look not for judgement, neither do they know of torments or of salvation promised unto them after death. 4 Esd. 7:66
For what doth it profit us, that we shall be preserved alive, but yet be afflicted with torment? 4 Esd. 7:67
For all that are born are defiled with iniquities, and are full of sins and laden with offences: 4 Esd. 7:68
and if after death we were not to come into judgement, peradventure it had been better for us. 4 Esd. 7:69
And now understand from thine own words, for thou hast said that the mind groweth with us. 4 Esd. 7:71
They therefore that dwell upon the earth shall be tormented for this reason, that having understanding they have wrought iniquity, and receiving commandments have not kept them, and having obtained a law they dealt unfaithfully with that which they received. 4 Esd. 7:72
For how great a time hath the Most High been longsuffering with them that inhabit the world, and not for their sakes, but because of the times which he hath foreordained! 4 Esd. 7:74
For thou hast a treasure of good works laid up with the Most High, but it shall not be shewed thee until the last times. 4 Esd. 7:77
For concerning death the teaching is: When the determinate sentence hath gone forth from the Most High that a man should die, as the spirit leaveth the body to return again to him who gave it, it adoreth the glory of the Most High first of all. 4 Esd. 7:78
The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for them that have believed the covenants of the Most High. 4 Esd. 7:83
The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 4 Esd. 7:84
First of all they shall see with great joy the glory of him who taketh them up, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 4 Esd. 7:91
The seventh order, which is greater than all the aforesaid orders, because they shall rejoice with confidence, and because they shall be bold without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom in their lifetime they served, and from whom they shall receive their reward in glory. 4 Esd. 7:98
And he said, Their freedom shall be for seven days, that for seven days they may see the things whereof thou hast been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered together in their habitations. 4 Esd. 7:101
And I answered and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, shew further unto me thy servant whether in the day of judgement the just will be able to intercede for the ungodly or to intreat the Most High for them, 4 Esd. 7:102
whether fathers for children, or children for parents, or brethren for brethren, or kinsfolk for their next of kin, or friends for them that are most dear. 4 Esd. 7:103
so never shall any one pray for another in that day, neither shall one lay a burden on another, for then shall all bear every one his own righteousness or unrighteousness. 4 Esd. 7:105
And I sayd: First Abraham prayed for the Sodomites, and Moyses for the fathers that sinned in the desert. (Gen. 18/ Ex. 32) 4 Esd. 7:106
And they that were after him for Isreal in the dayes of Achaz, and of Samuel, 4 Esd. 7:107
and Dauid for the destruction, and Salomon for them that came vnto the sanctification. (2 Kings 24:17/ 2 Par. 6:13) 4 Esd. 7:108
And Elias for them that receiued raine, and for the dead that he might liue, (3 Kings 17 & 18) 4 Esd. 7:109
and Ezechias for the people in the dayes of Sennacherib, and manie for manie. (4 Kings 19:15) 4 Esd. 7:110
If therfore now when corruptible did increase, and iniustice was multiplied, and the iust prayed for the impious: why now also shal it not be so? 4 Esd. 7:111
And he answered me and sayd: This present world is not the end, much glorie remaineth in it: for this cause they prayed for the impotent. 4 Esd. 7:112
For the day of iudgement shal be the end of this time, and the beginning of the immortalitie to come, wherein corruption is past: 4 Esd. 7:113
For then no man can saue him that hath perished, nor drowne him that hath ouercome. And I answered, 4 Esd. 7:115
For what doth it profit men presently to liue in sorow, and being dead to hope for punishment? 4 Esd. 7:117
O what hast thou done Adam? For if thou didst sinne, it was not made thy fal only, but ours also which came of thee. (Rom. 5:12) 4 Esd. 7:118
For what doth it profit vs if immortal time be promised to vs: but we haue done mortal workes? 4 Esd. 7:119
And that habitations of health and securitie are reserued for vs, but we haue conuerst naughtely? 4 Esd. 7:121
but we shal not enter in: for we haue conuerst in vnlawful places. 4 Esd. 7:124
For we did not thinke liuing when we did iniquitie, that we shal beginne after death to suffer. 4 Esd. 7:126
for this is the life which Moyses spake of when he liued, to the people, saying: Choose vnto thee life, that thou mayst liue. (Deut. 30:19) 4 Esd. 7:129
For if he shal not multiplie his mercies, the world shal not be made aliue with them that did inherite it. 4 Esd. 7:137
And he geueth: for if he shal not geue of his bountie, that they may be releeued which haue done iniquitie, the tenth thousand part of men can not be quickned from their iniquities. 4 Esd. 7:138
¤ AND he answered me, & sayd: This world the Highest made for manie, but that to come for few. 4 Esd. 8:1
And I wil speake a similitude Esdras before thee. For as thou shalt aske the earth, and it wil tel thee, that it wil geue much more earth wherof earthen worke may be made, but a litle dust wherof gold is made: so also is the act of this present world. 4 Esd. 8:2
For thou art agred to obey, and willing to prophecie. For there is no space geuen thee but only to liue. 4 Esd. 8:5
For thou art alone, and we are one workmanshippe of thy handes, as thou hast spoken: 4 Esd. 8:7
For thou hast commanded of the members, that is the brestes to geue milke vnto the fruite of the brestes, 4 Esd. 8:10
For thou hast, brought him vp in thy iustice, and hast instructed him in thy law, and hast corrected him in thy vnderstanding: 4 Esd. 8:12
And now Lord I wil speake, of euerie man thou rather knowest: but concerning thy people, for which I am sorowful: 4 Esd. 8:15
and concerning thine inheritance, for which I mourne, and for Israel for whom I am pensiue, and concerning Iacob, for whom I am sorowful. 4 Esd. 8:16
Therfore wil I begin to pray before thee for me, & for them: because I see our defaultes that inhabite the earth. 4 Esd. 8:17
For whiles I liue, I wil speake: and whiles I vnderstand, I wil answere: 4 Esd. 8:25
Because we and our fatheres languish with such diseases: but thou for sinners shalt be called merciful. 4 Esd. 8:31
For if thou shalt be desirous to haue mercie on vs, then thou shalt be called merciful, to vs hauing no workes of iustice. 4 Esd. 8:32
For the iust which haue manie workes layd vp, of their owne workes shal receiue reward. 4 Esd. 8:33
For what is man, that thou art angrie with him: or the corruptible kinde, that thou art so bitter touching it? 4 Esd. 8:34
For in truth there is no man of them that be borne, which hath not done impiously, and of them that confesse, which haue not sinned. (3 Kings 8:46 / 2 Par. 6:36) 4 Esd. 8:35
For in this shal thy iustice be declared, and thy goodnes, o Lord, when thou shalt haue mercie on them, that haue no substance of good workes. 4 Esd. 8:36
For as the husbandman soweth vpon the ground manie seedes, and planteth manie plantes, but not al which were sowen in time, are preserued, nor yet al that were planted, shal take roote: so they also that are sowen in the world, shal not al be saued. (Matt. 13 & 20) 4 Esd. 8:41
so likewise also man who made with thy handes, and thou named his image: because thou art likened to him, for whom thou hast made al thinges, and hast likened him to the seede of the husbandman. 4 Esd. 8:44
For thou lackest much to be able to loue my creature aboue me: and to thee often times, euen to thyselfe I haue approched, but to the vniust neuer. 4 Esd. 8:47
For which cause manie miseries, and miserable thinges shal be done to them that inhabite the world in the later dayes: because they haue walked in much pride. 4 Esd. 8:50
But thou for thyselfe vnderstand, & for them that are like vnto thee seeke glorie. 4 Esd. 8:51
For to you paradise is open, the tree of life is planted, time to come is prepared, abundance is prepared, a citie is builded, rest is approued, goodnes is perfited, & perfit wisdome. 4 Esd. 8:52
For they also receiuing libertie, haue despised the Highest, and contemned his lawe, and forsaken his wayes. 4 Esd. 8:56
For as the thinges aforesayd shal receiue you: so thirst and torment, which are prepared shal take them: for he would not man to be destroyed. 4 Esd. 8:59
For as al that is made in the world hath a beginning, and also a consummation, and the consummation is manifest: 4 Esd. 9:5
For they that knew not me, hauing obtained benefits when they liued: 4 Esd. 9:10
Thou therfore be not yet curious, how the impious shal be tormented: but inquire how the iust shal be saued, and whose the world is, and for whom the world is, and when. 4 Esd. 9:13
And now when I was preparing for them, for these that now are before the world was made, wherin they should dwel: and no man gaynsayd me. 4 Esd. 9:18
For then euery man, and now the creator in this world prepared, and haruest not fayling, and law vnsearchable their manners are corrupted. 4 Esd. 9:19
For behold, I sow my lawe in you, and it shal bring forth fruite in you, and you shal be glorified in it for euer. 4 Esd. 9:31
For our fathers receiuing the law obserued it not, and kept not my ordinances, and the fruite of the law did not appeare: for it could not, because it was thine. 4 Esd. 9:32
For they that receiued it, perished, not keeping that which had bene sowen in them. (Ex. 32) 4 Esd. 9:33
For the law hath not perished, but hath remayned in his labour. (Ezech. 48) 4 Esd. 9:37
For I euery howre, and euerie day, and these thirty yeares do beseche the Highest night and day. 4 Esd. 9:44
And now wheras we al mourne, and are sadde: wheras we are sorrowful, and art thou sorrowful for one sonne? 4 Esd. 10:8
For aske the earth, and it wil tel thee: that it is she, that ought to lament the fal of so manie thinges that spring vpon it. 4 Esd. 10:9
And who then ought to mourne more, but she that hath lost so great a multitude, rather then thou which art sorie for one? 4 Esd. 10:11
as thou hast brought forth with payne, so the earth also geueth her fruite for man from the beginning to him that made her. 4 Esd. 10:14
For if thou iustifie the end of God, thou shalt in time both receiue his counsel, and also in such thinges thou shalt be praysed. 4 Esd. 10:16
Doe not this word, but consent to him that counseleth thee. For how manie are the chances of Sion? Take comfort for the sorrowe of Ierusalem. 4 Esd. 10:20
For thou seest that our sanctification is made desert, and our altar is throwen downe, and our temple is destroyed, 4 Esd. 10:21
and our psalter is humbled, and hymne is silent, and our exultation is dissolued, and the light of our candelsticke is extinguished, and the arke of our testament is taken for spoyle, & our holie thinges are contaminated, and the name that is inuocated vpon vs, is almost prophaned: and our children haue suffred contumelie, and our Priestes are burnt, & our Leuites are gone into captiuitie, & our virgins are defloured, and our wiues haue suffered rape, and our iust men are violently taken, and our litle ones are lost, and our yong men are in bondage, and our valiants are made impotent: 4 Esd. 10:22
and that which is greatest of al, the seale of Sion, because she is vnsealed of her glorie: For she is also deliuered into the handes of them that hate vs. 4 Esd. 10:23
Where is Vriel the Angel, that from the beginning came to me? for he made me come in multitude in excesse of this minde, and my end is made into corruption, & my prayer into reproch. 4 Esd. 10:28
He hath seene thy right way, that without intermission thou was forrowful for thy people, and didst mourne exceedingly for Sion. 4 Esd. 10:39
And whereas she told thee, that she was barren thirtie yeares: for the which there were thirtie yeares, when there was not yet oblation offered in it. 4 Esd. 10:45
And now the Highest seeth that thou wast sorie from the hart: and because with thy whole hart thou sufferest for her, he hath shewed thee the clearnes of her glorie, and the fayrenes of her beautie. 4 Esd. 10:50
For therfore did he say to thee, that thou shouldest tarie in a field where house is not built. 4 Esd. 10:51
For I knew that the Highest beganne to shew thee these thinges: 4 Esd. 10:52
For the worke of mans building could not be borne in the place, where the citie of the Highest began to be shewed. 4 Esd. 10:54
For thou art blessed aboue manie, and art called with the Highest as few. 4 Esd. 10:57
For her heades were at rest, and the midle head was greater then the other heades, but she rested with them. 4 Esd. 11:4
For some also of them stoode vp, but they held not the principalitie. 4 Esd. 11:21
And I saw, and behold from the six litle winges two were diuided, and they remayned vnder the head, that is on the right side. For foure taried in their place. 4 Esd. 11:24
and when they were thincking thereon, behold one of the resting heades, which was the midde one awaked, for this was greater then the other two heades. 4 Esd. 11:29
For thou hast afflicted the meeke, and hast trubled them that were quiet, and hast loued lyers, & hast destroyed their habitations that did fructifie, and hast ouerthrowen their walles that did not hurt thee. 4 Esd. 11:42
that al the earth may be refreshed, and may returne deliuered from thy violence, and may hope for his iudgement, and mercie that made it. 4 Esd. 11:46
And I saw, and behold they appeared not, and al the bodie of the eagle was burnt, & the earth was afrayd excedingly, and I by the tumult and traunce of minde, and for great feare awaked, and sayd to my spirit: 4 Esd. 12:3
Behold yet I am wearie in minde, and in my spirit I am very feeble, and there is not so much as a litle strength in me for the great feare, that I was afrayd of this night. 4 Esd. 12:5
For thou hast counted me worthie to shew vnto me the later times. And he sayd to me: 4 Esd. 12:9
For the second shal beginne to reigne, and he shal continew more time then the rest of the twelue. 4 Esd. 12:15
and them that dwel in it, with much labour aboue al them that vvere before them. For this cause they are called the heads of the eagle. 4 Esd. 12:24
For these shal be they that shal recapitulate her impieties, and that shal accomplish her last thinges. 4 Esd. 12:25
For the two that shal remayne, the sword shal eate them. 4 Esd. 12:27
For the sword of one shal deuoure him that is with him: but yet this also at the last shal fal by the sword. 4 Esd. 12:28
this is the wynde which the Highest hath kept vnto the end for them, and their impieties: and he shal rebuke them, and shal cast in their spoyles before them. 4 Esd. 12:32
For he shal sette them in iudgment aliue: and it shal be, when he hath reproued them, then shal he chastise them. 4 Esd. 12:33
For the rest of my people he shal deliuer with miserie, them that are saued vpon my borders, and he shal make them ioyful til the end shal come, the day of iudgment, wherof I haue spoken to thee from the beginning. 4 Esd. 12:34
For thou alone art remayning to vs of al peoples, as a cluster of grapes of the vineyard, and as a candle in a darke place, and as an hauen and shippe saued from the tempest. 4 Esd. 12:42
Or are not the euiles that chance, sufficient for vs? 4 Esd. 12:43
For we are not better then they that dyed there. And they wept with a lowd voice. And I answered them, and sayd: 4 Esd. 12:45
For there is remebrance of you before the Highest, and the Strong hath not forgotten you in tentation. 4 Esd. 12:47
For I haue not forsaken you, neither did I depart form you: but I came into this place, to pray for the desolation of Sion, and to seeke mercie for the low estate of your sanctification. 4 Esd. 12:48
and there came to him the countenance of manie men some reioycing, and some sorrowing: and some bond, some bringing of them them that were offered. And I was sicke for much feare, and awaked, and sayd. 4 Esd. 13:13
For as I thinke in my iudgement, woe to them that were leaft in those dayes: & much more woe to them that were not leaft. 4 Esd. 13:16
For they that were not leaft, were sorrowful. 4 Esd. 13:17
For therefore they came into great dangers, and manie necessities, as these dreames do shew. 4 Esd. 13:19
and wheras he held no sworde, nor warlike instrument: for his violence destroyed the multitude that came to ouerthrow him: this is the interpretation. 4 Esd. 13:28
For the Highest then wrought them signes, and stayed the vaines of the riuer til they passed. (Ex. 14/ Jos. 3) 4 Esd. 13:44
For by that countie was a great way to goe, of one yeare and a half: for the countrie is called Arsareth. 4 Esd. 13:45
againe the Highest shal stay the vaines of the riuer, that they may passe: for these thou sawest a multitiude with peace. 4 Esd. 13:47
This is the interpretation of the dreame which thou sawest, and for the which thou only art here illuminated. 4 Esd. 13:53
For thou hast leaft thyne owne law, and hast bene occupied about my law, and hast sought it. 4 Esd. 13:54
For thou hast disposed thy lyfe in wisdom, and thyne vnderstanding thou hast called mother: 4 Esd. 13:55
and for this I haue shewed thee riches with the Highest. For it shal be after other three dayes, I wil speake other thinges to thee, and I wil expound to thee weightie and meruelous thinges. 4 Esd. 13:56
And I went forth, and passed into the fielde, much glorifying & praising the Highest for the meruelous thinges that he did by time. 4 Esd. 13:57
For thou shalt be receiued of al, thou shalt be conuerted the residue with thy counsel, and with the like to thee, til the times be finished: 4 Esd. 14:9
For the world is diuided by twelue partes, & the tenth part, & half of the tenth part are passed: 4 Esd. 14:11
for the euiles which thou hast sene to haue chanced now, worse then these wil they doe againe: (Matt. 24/ 1 John 2) 4 Esd. 14:15
for looke how much the world shal become weake by age, so much shal euiles be multiplied vpon the inhabitants. 4 Esd. 14:16
For truth hath remoued it self farther of, and lying hath approched, for now the vision which thou sawest, hasteneth to come. 4 Esd. 14:17
For behold I wil goe, as thou hast commanded me, & wil rebuke the people that now is. But them that shal yet be born, who shal admonish? 4 Esd. 14:19
For if I haue found grace with thee, send the Holie Ghost to me, & I wil write al that hath bene done in the world from the beginning, the thinges that were written in thy law, that men may finde the pathe: and they that wil liue in the later times, may liue. 4 Esd. 14:22
And he answered me, and sayd: Goe gather together the people, and thou shalt say to them, that they seeke thee not for fourtie dayes. 4 Esd. 14:23
And then some thinges thou shalt open to the perfect, some thou shalt deliuer secretly to the wyse. For to morrow this houre thou shalt begine to write. 4 Esd. 14:26
For the iudgement shal come after death, when we shal returne to lyfe againe: and then the names of the iust shal appeare, and the dedes of the impious shal be shewed. 4 Esd. 14:35
Let no man therfore come to me now, nor aske for me vntil fourtie dayes. 4 Esd. 14:36
And I tooke it, and dranke; and when I had drunken of it, my hart was tormented with vnderstanding, and wisdome grewe into my brest. For my spirit was kept by memorie. 4 Esd. 14:40
For in these is the vaine of vnderstanding, and the fountaine of wisdome, and the streame of knowledge, and I did soe. 4 Esd. 14:47
