Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

Never trust thine enemy: for like as iron rusteth, so is his wickedness.

An enemy speaketh sweetly with his lips, but in his heart he imagineth how to throw thee into a pit: he will weep with his eyes, but if he find opportunity, he will not be satisfied with blood.

He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.

The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.

Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments are truth.

And twelve goats for the sin of all Israel, according to the number of the chief of the tribes of Israel.

And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the Lord came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

If thou love to hear, thou shalt receive understanding: and if thou bow thine ear, thou shalt be wise,

He that hath small understanding, and feareth God, is better than one that hath much wisdom, and transgresseth the law of the most High.

He that keepeth the law of the Lord getteth the understanding thereof: and the perfection of the fear of the Lord is wisdom.

A man of understanding trusteth in the law; and the law is faithful unto him, as an oracle.

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

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

And all that believed were together, and had all things common;

In three things I was beautified, and stood up beautiful both before God and men: the unity of brethren, the love of neighbours, a man and a wife that agree together.

Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.

And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

So the children of Israel which were present held the passover at that time, and the feast of sweet bread seven days.

Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.

And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.

Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the Lord empty:

Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.

Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)

Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.

Wherefore they said, Let us also get us a name, and go fight against the heathen that are round about us.

Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure.

For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.

For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

If thou hast gathered nothing in thy youth, how canst thou find any thing in thine age?

And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

For while we lived and committed iniquity, we considered not that we should begin to suffer for it after death.

For the Lord knoweth all them that sin against him, and therefore delivereth he them unto death and destruction.

Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.

For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you.

And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

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

For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

But they that sin are enemies to their own life.

That they might know, that wherewithal a man sins, by the same also shall he be punished.

Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord God.

O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?

Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.

Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

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

For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord God.

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
