Toba 10, 1743

2My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

11Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God.

12Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, He departed to Galilee.

13And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,

14that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

15"The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:

16The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned."

17From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

18And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

19Then He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." rm820They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

21Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them,

22and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

7Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; All Your waves and billows have gone over me.

8The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me-- A prayer to the God of my life.

22After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He remained with them and baptized.

23Now John also was baptizing in Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there. And they came and were baptized.

24For John had not yet been thrown into prison.

25Then there arose a dispute between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purification.

26And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified--behold, He is baptizing, and all are coming to Him!"

27John answered and said, "A man can receive nothing unless it has been given to him from heaven.

28You yourselves bear me witness, that I said, "I am not the Christ,' but, "I have been sent before Him.'

29He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom's voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.

1Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

2To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus,

5that you were enriched in everything by Him in all utterance and all knowledge,

6even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you,

7so that you come short in no gift, eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,

8who will also confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

10Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

11For it has been declared to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of Chloe's household, that there are contentions among you.

12Now I say this, that each of you says, "I am of Paul," or "I am of Apollos," or "I am of Cephas," or "I am of Christ."

13Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

14I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius,

15lest anyone should say that I had baptized in my own name.

16Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas. Besides, I do not know whether I baptized any other.

17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.

12For this reason I will not be negligent to remind you always of these things, though you know and are established in the present truth.

13Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding you,

14knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

15Moreover I will be careful to ensure that you always have a reminder of these things after my decease.

16For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

17For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

18And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

19And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;
