 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? 

 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 

 And all the congregation lifted up their voice, and cried; and the people wept that night. 

 And all the children of Israel murmured against Moses and against Aaron: and the whole congregation said unto them, Would God that we had died in the land of Egypt! or would God we had died in this wilderness! 

 And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt? 

 And they said one to another, Let us make a captain, and let us return into Egypt. 

Although the fig tree shall not blossom,

Neither shall fruit be in the vines;

The labour of the olive shall fail,

And the fields shall yield no meat;

The flock shall be cut off from the fold,

And there shall be no herd in the stalls:

Yet I will rejoice in the LORD,

I will joy in the God of my salvation.

The LORD God is my strength,

And he will make my feet like hinds' feet,

And he will make me to walk upon mine high places.

To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

 according to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. 

 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 

 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 

 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 

 nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. 

 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; 

 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 

 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 

 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. 

 being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 

 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide. 

 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand. 

 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes, 

 and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. 

 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this? 

 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,  

 if we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;  

 be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. 

 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.  

 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 

 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 

 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.  

 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 

 for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 

 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. 

 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. 

 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. 

 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. 

 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 

 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. 

 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. 

 he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 

 and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 

 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.  

 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 

 but for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 

 hat if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 

 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 

 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 

 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 

 and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 

 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 

 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 

 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 

 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 

 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 

 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 

 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 

 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 

I have more understanding than all my teachers:

For thy testimonies are my meditation.

 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 

 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 

 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 

 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 

 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. 

 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 

 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 

 as newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: 

Moreover he called for a famine upon the land:

He brake the whole staff of bread.

He sent a man before them,

Even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

Whose feet they hurt with fetters:

He was laid in iron:

Until the time that his word came:

The word of the LORD tried him.

The king sent and loosed him;

Even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

He made him lord of his house,

And ruler of all his substance:

To bind his princes at his pleasure;

And teach his senators wisdom.

 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 

 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;  

 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.  

 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?  

 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 

 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. 

 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 

 and patience, experience; and experience, hope: 

 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;  

 knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 

 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 

 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.  

 in whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 

 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 

 for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 

 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. 

Come and hear, all ye that fear God,

And I will declare what he hath done for my soul.

I cried unto him with my mouth,

And he was extolled with my tongue.

If I regard iniquity in my heart,

The Lord will not hear me:

But verily God hath heard me;

He hath attended to the voice of my prayer.

Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer,

Nor his mercy from me.

 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 

 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  

 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. 

He that covereth his sins shall not prosper:

But whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Happy is the man that feareth alway:

But he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.

As a roaring lion, and a ranging bear;

So is a wicked ruler over the poor people.

The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor:

But he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.

A man that doeth violence to the blood of any person

Shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.

Whoso walketh uprightly shall be saved:

But he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.

 I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost,  

 holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:  

 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 

 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 

 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:  

 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. 

 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 

 or God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.  

 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 

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

 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. 

 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 

 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.  

 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? 

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

 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 

 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: 

 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. 

 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. 

 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;  

 thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 

 in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. 

 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. 

 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. 

 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:  

 therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. 

 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. 

A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself;

But the simple pass on, and are punished.

 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.  

 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.  

 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.  

 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. 

The heavens declare the glory of God;

And the firmament sheweth his handywork.

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine:

As for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.  

 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.  

 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 

 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
