Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Thus saith the Lord, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest.

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.

There are certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therin: for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?

Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God.

And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

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.

And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

The entrance thereof is narrow, and is set in a dangerous place to fall, like as if there were a fire on the right hand, and on the left a deep water:

Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.

He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.

For of the most High cometh healing, and he shall receive honour of the king.

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.

For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

For it was neither herb, nor mollifying plaster, that restored them to health: but thy word, O Lord, which heals all things.

And every one should leave his laws: so all the heathen agreed according to the commandment of the king.

The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.

And therefore I say unto you, O ye heathen, that hear and understand, look for your Shepherd, he shall give you everlasting rest; for he is nigh at hand, that shall come in the end of the world.

And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.

Thus saith the Lord God; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah is like unto all the heathen;

And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

How hath the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger, and cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger!

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

And therefore shake off thy great heaviness, and put away the multitude of sorrows, that the Mighty may be merciful unto thee again, and the Highest shall give thee rest and ease from thy labour.

Give not over thy mind to heaviness, and afflict not thyself in thine own counsel.

For of heaviness cometh death, and the heaviness of the heart breaketh strength.

Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.

Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:

For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.

But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.

A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

For the Lord's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.

Beside this he gave them knowledge, and the law of life for an heritage.

For in the division of the nations of the whole earth he set a ruler over every people; but Israel is the Lord's portion:

All these things are the book of the covenant of the most high God, even the law which Moses commanded for an heritage unto the congregations of Jacob.

Gather all the tribes of Jacob together, and inherit thou them, as from the beginning.

I have forsaken mine house, I have left mine heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.

And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever.

The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name.

And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

And I will make an everlasting covenant with them to be their God, and they shall be my people: and I will no more drive my people of Israel out of the land that I have given them.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,

To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.

And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.

Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God.

Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:

Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the Lord.

The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.

But wisdom is the grey hair unto men, and an unspotted life is old age.

Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
