REST

  Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 

 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 

 but the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 

 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 

 ake my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 

 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 

 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.  

 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.  

 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. 

 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD. 

 God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. 

 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 

 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 

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

 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 

 that 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.  

 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 

 not of works, lest any man should boast. 

 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 

 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 

 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.  

 then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 

 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 

 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 

 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 

 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 

 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 

 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.  

 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them. 

 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 

 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 

 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 

 And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 

 And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 

 But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 

 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. 

 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. 

 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; 

 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God; 

 he riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. 

 After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. 

 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?  

 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. 

 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. 

 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.  

 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.  

 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. 

 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? 

 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.  

 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.  

 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. 

 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. 

 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. 

 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 

 but I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.  

 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 

 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:   

That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;  

 not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: 

Blessed is he that considereth the poor:

The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth:

And thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing:

Thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness. 

I said, LORD, be merciful unto me:

Heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

 Mine enemies speak evil of me,

When shall he die, and his name perish?

And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity:

His heart gathereth iniquity to itself; When he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

All that hate me whisper together against me:

Against me do they devise my hurt.

An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him:

And now that he lieth he shall rise up no more.

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted,

Which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me,

And raise me up, that I may requite them.

By this I know that thou favourest me,

Because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.

And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity,

And settest me before thy face for ever. 

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel

From everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. 

 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 

 for I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 

 naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 

 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 

 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 

 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 

 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.  

 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 

 and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.   

 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; 

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

 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

  Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. 

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

 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it. 

 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. 

 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. 

 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:  

 but he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. 

 There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.  

 And this I speak for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that which is comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction. 

 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.  

 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God. 

 submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 

 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.  

 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.  

 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 

 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 

 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 

 that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 

 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 

 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 

 for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 

 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.  

 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 

 Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. 

 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
