“ And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, Son, be of good courage; your sins are forgiven. 9:3And behold some of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemes. 9:4And Jesus observing their thoughts, said, Why do you think evil in your hearts? 9:5For in what respect is it easier to say, Your sins are forgiven, than to say, Arise and walk? 9:6But that you may know that the Son of man has power on the earth to forgive sins, then he said to the paralytic, Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house. ”

“ Has not God chosen the poor of the world rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love him? 2:6But you dishonor the poor. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you to tribunals? 2:7And do they not blaspheme the good name by which you are called? 2:8If you keep indeed the royal law according to the Scripture, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well; 2:9but if you respect persons, you commit sin, convicted by the law as transgressors. 2:10For whoever shall keep the whole law, and offend in one point, is guilty of all. ”

“ Behold, how much wood a little fire kindles! 3:6And the tongue is a fire, the tongue is made a world of wickedness among our members, it defiles the whole body and sets on fire the course of nature and is set on fire by hell. 3:7For every kind of beasts, and birds, and reptiles, and fishes, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race, 3:8but the tongue can no man tame; it is a disorderly evil, full of a deadly poison. ”

“ I have not come to destroy but to complete. 5:18For I tell you truly, that till heaven and earth pass away, one iota or one point shall by no means pass away from the law till all things are accomplished. 5:19Whoever therefore shall break one of the least of these commandments, and teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 5:20For I tell you, that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall by no means enter into the kingdom of heaven. ”

“ It is an unfortunate result of King James's translation of the Bible by an imposing council of learned men, that it has tended to discourage individual effort in respect to a labor of this kind, and to create a prejudice against it as necessarily incompetent and untrustworthy. Societies and councils have their spheres in which they are useful; yet they often transcend them and intrude on those of individuals. But there are great works which individuals can perform better than multitudes or councils. ”

“ But I forbear, lest any one should think of me beyond what he sees or hears of me.
8 12:7And that I might not be elated with my extraordinary revelations, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, an angel of Satan to beat me, that I should not be too much exalted. 12:8For this I besought the Lord thrice that it might leave me. 12:9And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you; for power is perfected in weakness. 12:10Most gladly, therefore, will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. ”

“ And if you received, why do you boast as one that receives not? 4:8You are already full, you are already enriched; you have reigned without us; and I would that you did reign, that we also might reign with you. 4:9For I think that God has shown us the apostles last, as devoted to death, for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men. 4:10For we are foolish for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; and you are glorious, but we are infamous. ”

“ How long shall I be with you, and suffer you! Bring your son hither. 9:42And while he was coming, the demon tore him with spasms and convulsed him. And Jesus rebuked the impure spirit, and cured the child, and gave him back to his father. 9:43And they were all astonished at the majesty of God.
3 And while all wondered at all things which he did, he said to his disciples, 9:44Commit these words to your ears; for the Son of man is about to be delivered into the hands of men. ”

“ The only way in which the vast stores of Biblical learning accumulated during the last two hundred and forty-seven years, by the labors of seven and a half generations toiling in succession, each generation beginning where that which preceded it left off, and each adding something to the stock which it received, can become available for the general benefit of the people, is by an improved text and translation of the Bible, into which, as far as possible, they shall all be brought, and to the perfection of which they shall contribute. ”

“ I have not come to send peace, but a sword. 10:35I have come to set a man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a bride against her mother-in-law; 10:36and a man's enemies shall be those of his own house. ”

“ Grace and peace be to you, from the Is and the Was and the Is to come, and from the seven spirits which are before his throne, 1:5and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the first born from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him that loved us and washed us from our sins with his blood, 1:6and made us a kingdom, priests to God even his Father, to him be the glory and the power forever ”

“ Are you not much better than they? 6:27Which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his stature? 6:28And why are you anxious concerning clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they perform no hard labor, neither do they spin; 6:29but I tell you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 6:30And if God so clothes the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, men of little faith? ”

“ A council did not make Paradise Lost, and could not; nor has a council ever produced any immortal work of genius or learning, unless it is the English Bible of King James. With this exception, these are all the works of individuals. As individuals, therefore, have generally been the prosecutors of literary enterprises, in the department of Bible translation no less than in other departments, and as individuals have been eminently successful and useful in this department of labor heretofore, both in England and other countries, let it be hoped that they may be again. ”

“ Come they not thence, from your pleasures that war in your members? 4:2You desire and have not; you kill, and envy, and cannot obtain; you fight and carry on war. You have not, because you do not ask; 4:3you ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, to expend on your pleasures. 4:4Adulteresses, know you not that the friendship of the world is enmity against God? Whoever therefore wishes to be a friend of the world, is made an enemy of God. 4:5Or do you suppose that the Scripture says in vain, The spirit which dwells in us desires to envy? ”

“ But if any one has sinned, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, 2:2and he is a propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but for all the world. 2:3And by this we know that we have known him, if we keep his commandments. ”

“ Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under the grace? By no means. 6:16Know you not that to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, his servants you are whom you obey, whether of sin in death or of obedience in righteousness? 6:17But thanks be to God that you were servants of sin, but obeyed from the heart the form of teaching in which you were instructed, 6:18and having become free from sin you served righteousness. 6:19I speak after the manner of men on account of the weakness of your flesh. ”

“ If, therefore, your eye is sound, your whole body will be light; 6:23but if your eye is evil, your whole body will be dark. If, therefore, the light which is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! 6:24No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the first, and love the other, or he will adhere to the first, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and riches. 6:25On this account I tell you, be not anxious for your soul, what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, what you shall put on, is not the soul more than food, and the body more than clothing? ”

“ For there is no power except from God, and the [powers] which exist have been ordained by God. 13:2So that he who resists the power resists the ordinance of God; and those who resist shall receive judgment on themselves. 13:3For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Will you not fear the power? Do good, and you shall have praise from it; 13:4for [the power] is God's minister to you for good. But if you do evil, fear; for it bears not the sword in vain; for it is God's minister of justice for punishment to him that does evil. ”

“ I will give to him that thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely. 21:7He that conquers shall inherit these things, and I will be to him a God and he shall be to me a son. 21:8But the fearful and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and fornicators and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.
4 21:9And one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the last seven plagues came, and spoke with me, saying, Come, I will show you the wife, the bride of the Lamb. ”

“ Why do you seek to kill me? 7:20The multitude answered, You have a demon; who seeks to kill you? 7:21Jesus answered and said to them, I performed one work and you all wonder. 7:22Moses gave you circumcision, not that it is of Moses but of the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the sabbath. 7:23If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man entirely sound on the sabbath? ”

“ The unmarried man cares for the things of the Lord, how he shall please the Lord; 7:33but he that is married cares for the things of the world, how he shall please the wife. 7:34And the wife and the virgin are different; the unmarried woman cares for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and spirit; but she that is married cares for the things of the world, how she shall please the husband. ”

“ Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which have been done in you, they would long ago have changed their minds, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 10:14But it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment, than for you. 10:15And you, Capernaum, even to heaven will you be exalted? even to hades shall you be cast down. 10:16He that hears you, hears me; and he that rejects you, rejects me; and he that rejects me, rejects him that sent me.
4 10:17And the seventy returned with joy, saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us by your name. ”

“ A voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 3:5Every ravine shall be filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth; 3:6and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
2 3:7Then John said to the multitudes who went out to be baptized by him, Offspring of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 3:8Bear fruits, therefore, worthy of a change of mind. And say not within yourselves, We have Abraham for a father ”

“ There is none good but one, God. 18:20You know the commandments; You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not testify falsely, Honor your father and your mother. 18:21And he said, All these have I kept from my youth. 18:22And Jesus hearing it, said to him, One thing you yet want; sell all that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you shall have a treasure in heaven, and come, follow me. ”

“ CHAPTER II. FALSE SPIRITS, BROTHERLY LOVE, THE LOVE OF GOD, THE THREE WITNESSES, ETC. 1 4:1BELOVED, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 4:2By this you know the Spirit of God; every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 4:3and every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of God. And this is the [spirit] of anti-christ, of which you have heard that he is coming, and he is now in the world already. ”

“ Shall affliction or distress, persecution or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? 8:36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day; we are accounted as sheep for slaughter. 8:37But in all these things we more than conquer, through him who loved us. 8:38For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 8:39nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, shall be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. ”
