1"Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth," Let Israel now say--
2"Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth; Yet they have not prevailed against me.
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
Bashans 5, 1744Today
1"Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth," Let Israel now say--
2"Many a time they have afflicted me from my youth; Yet they have not prevailed against me.
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
17But He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls.
18If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub.
19And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
20But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.
21When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace.
22But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils.
23He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
10The LORD shall reign forever-- Your God, O Zion, to all generations. Praise the LORD!
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
31And many of the people believed in Him, and said, "When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?"
32The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him.
33Then Jesus said to them, "I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to Him who sent Me.
34You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come."
35Then the Jews said among themselves, "Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
36What is this thing that He said, "You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come'?"
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
1Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus:
2Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
4just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,
5having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,
6to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
7In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
8which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,
9having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself,
10that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth--in Him.
11In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,
12that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
13In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
15Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
16And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
17Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.
18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
19We love Him because He first loved us.
20If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
21And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.
1Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
36At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did.
37But it happened in those days that she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
38And since Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.
39Then Peter arose and went with them. When he had come, they brought him to the upper room. And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40But Peter put them all out, and knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, arise." And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up.
41Then he gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.
43So it was that he stayed many days in Joppa with Simon, a tanner.
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
4In whose eyes a vile person is despised, But he honors those who fear the LORD; He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
14Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
15And the Jews marveled, saying, "How does this Man know letters, having never studied?"
16Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.
17If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.
18He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.
19Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?"
20The people answered and said, "You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?"
21Jesus answered and said to them, "I did one work, and you all marvel.
22Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
23If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?
24Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
