"Where Can You Read About . . ?"
Raising a Boy from the Dead: 2Ki 4:8 And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where
was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft
as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
2Ki 4:9 And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy
man of God, which passeth by us continually.
2Ki 4:10 Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for
him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when
he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.
2Ki 4:11 And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber,
and lay there.
2Ki 4:12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had
called her, she stood before him.
2Ki 4:13 And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for
us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to
the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own
people.
2Ki 4:14 And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily
she hath no child, and her husband is old.
2Ki 4:15 And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.
2Ki 4:16 And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt
embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine
handmaid.
2Ki 4:17 And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said
unto her, according to the time of life.
2Ki 4:18 And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his
father to the reapers.
2Ki 4:19 And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry
him to his mother.
2Ki 4:20 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her
knees till noon, and then died.
2Ki 4:21 And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the
door upon him, and went out.
2Ki 4:22 And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of
the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
2Ki 4:23 And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon,
nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.
2Ki 4:24 Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward;
slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.
2Ki 4:25 So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to
pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold,
yonder is that Shunammite:
2Ki 4:26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee?
is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.
2Ki 4:27 And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet:
but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone;
for her soul is vexed within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not
told me.
2Ki 4:28 Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive
me?
2Ki 4:29 Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand,
and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer
him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
2Ki 4:30 And the mother of the child said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth,
I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.
2Ki 4:31 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the
child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet
him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.
2Ki 4:32 And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and
laid upon his bed.
2Ki 4:33 He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto
the LORD.
2Ki 4:34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth,
and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself
upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.
2Ki 4:35 Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched
himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
2Ki 4:36 And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her.
And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.
2Ki 4:37 Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground,
and took up her son, and went out.
Raising
a Girl from the Dead: Mr 5:22 And, behold,
there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw
him, he fell at his feet,
Mr 5:23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of
death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she
shall live.
Mr 5:24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.
Mr 5:25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,
Mr 5:26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she
had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,
Mr 5:27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.
Mr 5:28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.
Mr 5:29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her
body that she was healed of that plague.
Mr 5:30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him,
turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
Mr 5:31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee,
and sayest thou, Who touched me?
Mr 5:32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.
Mr 5:33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and
fell down before him, and told him all the truth.
Mr 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace,
and be whole of thy plague.
Mr 5:35 While he yet spake, there came from the ruler of the synagogue's house certain
which said, Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
Mr 5:36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler
of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
Mr 5:37 And he suffered no man to follow him, save Peter, and James, and John the
brother of James.
Mr 5:38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult,
and them that wept and wailed greatly.
Mr 5:39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep?
the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth.
Mr 5:40 And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh
the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth
in where the damsel was lying.
Mr 5:41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which
is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
Mr 5:42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve
years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
Mr 5:43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that
something should be given her to eat.
Raising
a Man from the Dead: Joh 11:1 Now a certain
man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
Joh 11:2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet
with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
Joh 11:3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou
lovest is sick.
Joh 11:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for
the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
Joh 11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
Joh 11:6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in
the same place where he was.
Joh 11:7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
Joh 11:8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee;
and goest thou thither again?
Joh 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in
the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
Joh 11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light
in him.
Joh 11:11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus
sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
Joh 11:12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
Joh 11:13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of
taking of rest in sleep.
Joh 11:14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.
Joh 11:15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may
believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.
Joh 11:16 Then said Thomas, which is called Didymus, unto his fellowdisciples, Let
us also go, that we may die with him.
Joh 11:17 Then when Jesus came, he found that he had lain in the grave four days
already.
Joh 11:18 Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
Joh 11:19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning
their brother.
Joh 11:20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him:
but Mary sat still in the house.
Joh 11:21 Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother
had not died.
Joh 11:22 But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give
it thee.
Joh 11:23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
Joh 11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection
at the last day.
Joh 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth
in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Joh 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou
this?
Joh 11:27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the
Son of God, which should come into the world.
Joh 11:28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister
secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
Joh 11:29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
Joh 11:30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha
met him.
Joh 11:31 The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when
they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth
unto the grave to weep there.
Joh 11:32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at
his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
Joh 11:33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came
with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
Joh 11:34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
Joh 11:35 Jesus wept.
Joh 11:36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
Joh 11:37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the
blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
Joh 11:38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a
cave, and a stone lay upon it.
Joh 11:39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was
dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four
days.
Joh 11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe,
thou shouldest see the glory of God?
Joh 11:41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And
Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
Joh 11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which
stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
Joh 11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come
forth.
Joh 11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes:
and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and
let him go.
Joh 11:45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which
Jesus did, believed on him.
Joh 11:46 But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees, and told them what things
Jesus had done.
The Rapture: 1Th 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren,
concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no
hope.
1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which
sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
1Th 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive
and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice
of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them
in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1Th 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Redemption: Ga 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law,
being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on
a tree:
Ga 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ;
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Reigning in
Life: Ro 5:17 For if by one man's offence death
reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of
righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
The Removal
of the Veil: 2Co 3:12 Seeing then that we have
such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
2Co 3:13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel
could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
2Co 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail
untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ.
2Co 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
2Co 3:16 Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
2Co 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there
is liberty.
2Co 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord,
are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the
Lord.
Renewed Youth:
Ps 103:1 <<A Psalm of David.>>
Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
Ps 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Ps 103:3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
Ps 103:4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness
and tender mercies;
Ps 103:5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed
like the eagle's.
The Resurrection:
Joh 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary
Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken
away from the sepulchre.
Joh 20:2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple,
whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre,
and we know not where they have laid him.
Joh 20:3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
Joh 20:4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and
came first to the sepulchre.
Joh 20:5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went
he not in.
Joh 20:6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and
seeth the linen clothes lie,
Joh 20:7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes,
but wrapped together in a place by itself.
Joh 20:8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre,
and he saw, and believed.
Joh 20:9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the
dead.
Joh 20:10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
Joh 20:11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped
down, and looked into the sepulchre,
Joh 20:12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other
at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
Joh 20:13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because
they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
Joh 20:14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing,
and knew not that it was Jesus.
Joh 20:15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She,
supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence,
tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
Joh 20:16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni;
which is to say, Master.
Joh 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father:
but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father;
and to my God, and your God.
Joh 20:18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord,
and that he had spoken these things unto her.
The Reversal
of the Sun: Isa 38:4 Then came the word of
the LORD to Isaiah, saying,
Isa 38:5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father,
I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days
fifteen years.
Isa 38:6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria:
and I will defend this city.
Isa 38:7 And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do
this thing that he hath spoken;
Isa 38:8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down
in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by
which degrees it was gone down.
The Rich
of this World: 1Ti 6:17 Charge them that are
rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but
in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
1Ti 6:18 That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute,
willing to communicate;
1Ti 6:19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to
come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
The River of
Life: Re 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river
of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the
Lamb.
Re 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there
the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every
month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Re 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall
be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
Re 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
Re 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light
of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and
ever.
Running the
Race: Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are
compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight,
and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race
that is set before us,
Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy
that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at
the right hand of the throne of God.
Heb 12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself,
lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
The Sacrifice of Isaac: Ge
22:1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said
unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
Ge 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and
get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one
of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
Ge 22:3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two
of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering,
and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
Ge 22:4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar
off.
Ge 22:5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and
the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
Ge 22:6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his
son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
Ge 22:7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said,
Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb
for a burnt offering?
Ge 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering:
so they went both of them together.
Ge 22:9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an
altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on
the altar upon the wood.
Ge 22:10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Ge 22:11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham,
Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
Ge 22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing
unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy
son, thine only son from me.
Ge 22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram
caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered
him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
Ge 22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to
this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
Ge 22:15 And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
Ge 22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast
done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
Ge 22:17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy
seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and
thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
Ge 22:18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou
hast obeyed my voice.
Ge 22:19 So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together
to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
The Sacrifice
of Praise: Heb. 13:15 By him therefore let
us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips
giving thanks to his name.
Heb. 13:16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices
God is well pleased.
Salvation: Ro 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord
Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved.
Ro 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation.
Ro 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
Ro 10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord
over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
Ro 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Samson and
Delilah: Jud 14:1 And Samson went down to Timnath,
and saw a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines.
Jud 14:2 And he came up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen
a woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now therefore get her for
me to wife.
Jud 14:3 Then his father and his mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among
the daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou goest to take a
wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said unto his father, Get her for
me; for she pleaseth me well.
Jud 14:4 But his father and his mother knew not that it was of the LORD, that he
sought an occasion against the Philistines: for at that time the Philistines had
dominion over Israel.
Jud 14:5 Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came
to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him.
Jud 14:6 And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he
would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father
or his mother what he had done.
Jud 14:7 And he went down, and talked with the woman; and she pleased Samson well.
Jud 14:8 And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the
carcase of the lion: and, behold, there was a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase
of the lion.
Jud 14:9 And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father
and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had
taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion.
Jud 14:10 So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast;
for so used the young men to do.
Jud 14:11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions
to be with him.
Jud 14:12 And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye
can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out,
then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:
Jud 14:13 But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and
thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we
may hear it.
Jud 14:14 And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the
strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
Jud 14:15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife,
Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and
thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? is it not so?
Jud 14:16 And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and
lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast
not told it me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told it my father nor my
mother, and shall I tell it thee?
Jud 14:17 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it
came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him:
and she told the riddle to the children of her people.
Jud 14:18 And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun
went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said
unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle.
Jud 14:19 And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon,
and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto
them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his
father's house.
Jud 14:20 But Samson's wife was given to his companion, whom he had used as his friend.
Jud 15:1 But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest,
that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into
the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in.
Jud 15:2 And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her;
therefore I gave her to thy companion: is not her younger sister fairer than she?
take her, I pray thee, instead of her.
Jud 15:3 And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the
Philistines, though I do them a displeasure.
Jud 15:4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and
turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails.
Jud 15:5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let them go into the standing
corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn,
with the vineyards and olives.
Jud 15:6 Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson,
the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his
companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire.
Jud 15:7 And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged
of you, and after that I will cease.
Jud 15:8 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down
and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam.
Jud 15:9 Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves
in Lehi.
Jud 15:10 And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered,
To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us.
Jud 15:11 Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and
said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is
this that thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so
have I done unto them.
Jud 15:12 And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver
thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me,
that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.
Jud 15:13 And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver
thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two
new cords, and brought him up from the rock.
Jud 15:14 And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the
Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms
became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.
Jud 15:15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took
it, and slew a thousand men therewith.
Jud 15:16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the
jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.
Jud 15:17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast
away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi.
Jud 15:18 And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given
this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst,
and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
Jud 15:19 But God clave an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water
thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore
he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which is in Lehi unto this day.
Jud 15:20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years.
Jud 16:1 Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.
Jud 16:2 And it was told the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed
him in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all
the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him.
Jud 16:3 And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors
of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all,
and put them upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that is
before Hebron.
Jud 16:4 And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek,
whose name was Delilah.
Jud 16:5 And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice
him, and see wherein his great strength lieth, and by what means we may prevail against
him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven
hundred pieces of silver.
Jud 16:6 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength
lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.
Jud 16:7 And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were
never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
Jud 16:8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which
had not been dried, and she bound him with them.
Jud 16:9 Now there were men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she
said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs, as a
thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known.
Jud 16:10 And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me
lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.
Jud 16:11 And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were
occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.
Jud 16:12 Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto
him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liers in wait abiding in
the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread.
Jud 16:13 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me
lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest
the seven locks of my head with the web.
Jud 16:14 And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be
upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of
the beam, and with the web.
Jud 16:15 And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart
is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein
thy great strength lieth.
Jud 16:16 And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged
him, so that his soul was vexed unto death;
Jud 16:17 That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come
a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb:
if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be
like any other man.
Jud 16:18 And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called
for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me
all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money
in their hand.
Jud 16:19 And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she
caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him,
and his strength went from him.
Jud 16:20 And she said, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of
his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And
he wist not that the LORD was departed from him.
Jud 16:21 But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down
to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.
Jud 16:22 Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.
Jud 16:23 Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a
great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath
delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.
Jud 16:24 And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our
god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which
slew many of us.
Jud 16:25 And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call
for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison
house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars.
Jud 16:26 And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that
I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.
Jud 16:27 Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines
were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that
beheld while Samson made sport.
Jud 16:28 And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray
thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once
avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.
Jud 16:29 And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood,
and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with
his left.
Jud 16:30 And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself
with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that
were therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than they which he
slew in his life.
Jud 16:31 Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down, and took him,
and brought him up, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace
of Manoah his father. And he judged Israel twenty years.
The Sermon
on the Mount: Mt 5:1 And seeing the multitudes,
he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
Mt 5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
Mt 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Mt 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Mt 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Mt 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they
shall be filled.
Mt 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Mt 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Mt 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Mt 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs
is the kingdom of heaven.
Mt 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say
all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Mt 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so
persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Mt 5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith
shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to
be trodden under foot of men.
Mt 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Mt 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick;
and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Mt 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and
glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Mt 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come
to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mt 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle
shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Mt 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall
teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever
shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Mt 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness
of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mt 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill;
and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
Mt 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause
shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca,
shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in
danger of hell fire.
Mt 5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that
thy brother hath ought against thee;
Mt 5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled
to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
Mt 5:25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him;
lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee
to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Mt 5:26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou
hast paid the uttermost farthing.
Mt 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit
adultery:
Mt 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath
committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Mt 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for
it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy
whole body should be cast into hell.
Mt 5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for
it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy
whole body should be cast into hell.
Mt 5:31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a
writing of divorcement:
Mt 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the
cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her
that is divorced committeth adultery.
Mt 5:33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt
not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
Mt 5:34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's
throne:
Mt 5:35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is
the city of the great King.
Mt 5:36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair
white or black.
Mt 5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more
than these cometh of evil.
Mt 5:38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for
a tooth:
Mt 5:39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee
on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Mt 5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him
have thy cloke also.
Mt 5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
Mt 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn
not thou away.
Mt 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and
hate thine enemy.
Mt 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good
to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute
you;
Mt 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh
his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on
the unjust.
Mt 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the
publicans the same?
Mt 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not
even the publicans so?
Mt 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Mt 6:1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise
ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
Mt 6:2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee,
as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory
of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Mt 6:3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
Mt 6:4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself
shall reward thee openly.
Mt 6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love
to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may
be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
Mt 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut
thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret
shall reward thee openly.
Mt 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think
that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
Mt 6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye
have need of, before ye ask him.
Mt 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed
be thy name.
Mt 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Mt 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread.
Mt 6:12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
Mt 6:13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the
kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Mt 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive
you:
Mt 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive
your trespasses.
Mt 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for
they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto
you, They have their reward.
Mt 6:17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
Mt 6:18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret:
and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.
Mt 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth
corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Mt 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust
doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Mt 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Mt 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole
body shall be full of light.
Mt 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore
the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Mt 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the
other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God
and mammon.
Mt 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat,
or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life
more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Mt 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor
gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better
than they?
Mt 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
Mt 6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how
they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
Mt 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed
like one of these.
Mt 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and
to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little
faith?
Mt 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink?
or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Mt 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father
knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Mt 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these
things shall be added unto you.
Mt 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought
for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Mt 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Mt 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure
ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
Mt 7:3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest
not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Mt 7:4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine
eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Mt 7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt
thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
Mt 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before
swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Mt 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall
be opened unto you:
Mt 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him
that knocketh it shall be opened.
Mt 7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a
stone?
Mt 7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
Mt 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how
much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask
him?
Mt 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye
even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Mt 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way,
that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Mt 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it.
Mt 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly
they are ravening wolves.
Mt 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs
of thistles?
Mt 7:17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth
forth evil fruit.
Mt 7:18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring
forth good fruit.
Mt 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into
the fire.
Mt 7:20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Mt 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom
of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Mt 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy
name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Mt 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that
work iniquity.
Mt 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will
liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
Mt 7:25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat
upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
Mt 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall
be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
Mt 7:27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat
upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
Mt 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were
astonished at his doctrine:
Mt 7:29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
The Shield
of Faith: Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be
strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Eph 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the
wiles of the devil.
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places.
Eph 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to
withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Eph 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on
the breastplate of righteousness;
Eph 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Eph 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench
all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Eph 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is
the word of God:
Eph 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching
thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
The Shield
of Favour: Ps 5:11 But let all those that put
their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest
them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.
Ps 5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him
as with a shield.
Sitting
in Heavenly Places: Eph 2:4 But God, who is
rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by
grace ye are saved;)
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places
in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace
in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is
the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which
God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Sodom and
Gomorrah: Ge 18:16 And the men rose up from
thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the
way.
Ge 18:17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
Ge 18:18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all
the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
Ge 18:19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after
him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the
LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
Ge 18:20 And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because
their sin is very grievous;
Ge 18:21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according
to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.
Ge 18:22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham
stood yet before the LORD.
Ge 18:23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with
the wicked?
Ge 18:24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy
and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?
Ge 18:25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with
the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee:
Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?
Ge 18:26 And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then
I will spare all the place for their sakes.
Ge 18:27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak
unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:
Ge 18:28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy
all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will
not destroy it.
Ge 18:29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty
found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.
Ge 18:30 And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure
there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty
there.
Ge 18:31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure
there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's
sake.
Ge 18:32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this
once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for
ten's sake.
Ge 18:33 And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham:
and Abraham returned unto his place.
Ge 19:1 And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom:
and Lot seeing them rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward
the ground;
Ge 19:2 And he said, Behold now, my lords, turn in, I pray you, into your servant's
house, and tarry all night, and wash your feet, and ye shall rise up early, and go
on your ways. And they said, Nay; but we will abide in the street all night.
Ge 19:3 And he pressed upon them greatly; and they turned in unto him, and entered
into his house; and he made them a feast, and did bake unleavened bread, and they
did eat.
Ge 19:4 But before they lay down, the men of the city, even the men of Sodom, compassed
the house round, both old and young, all the people from every quarter:
Ge 19:5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came
in to thee this night? bring them out unto us, that we may know them.
Ge 19:6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him,
Ge 19:7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
Ge 19:8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray
you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto
these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
Ge 19:9 And they said, Stand back. And they said again, This one fellow came in to
sojourn, and he will needs be a judge: now will we deal worse with thee, than with
them. And they pressed sore upon the man, even Lot, and came near to break the door.
Ge 19:10 But the men put forth their hand, and pulled Lot into the house to them,
and shut to the door.
Ge 19:11 And they smote the men that were at the door of the house with blindness,
both small and great: so that they wearied themselves to find the door.
Ge 19:12 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? son in law, and thy
sons, and thy daughters, and whatsoever thou hast in the city, bring them out of
this place:
Ge 19:13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of them is waxen great before
the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
Ge 19:14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters,
and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But
he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
Ge 19:15 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise,
take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the
iniquity of the city.
Ge 19:16 And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand
of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto
him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.
Ge 19:17 And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said,
Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape
to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.
Ge 19:18 And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:
Ge 19:19 Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified
thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape
to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:
Ge 19:20 Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh,
let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.
Ge 19:21 And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also,
that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.
Ge 19:22 Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come
thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.
Ge 19:23 The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.
Ge 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from
the LORD out of heaven;
Ge 19:25 And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants
of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.
Ge 19:26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.
Ge 19:27 And Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where he stood before
the LORD:
Ge 19:28 And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the
plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace.
Ge 19:29 And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God
remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew
the cities in the which Lot dwelt.
Solomon's Wisdom:
1Ki 3:16 Then came there two women, that were
harlots, unto the king, and stood before him.
1Ki 3:17 And the one woman said, O my lord, I and this woman dwell in one house;
and I was delivered of a child with her in the house.
1Ki 3:18 And it came to pass the third day after that I was delivered, that this
woman was delivered also: and we were together; there was no stranger with us in
the house, save we two in the house.
1Ki 3:19 And this woman's child died in the night; because she overlaid it.
1Ki 3:20 And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid
slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.
1Ki 3:21 And when I rose in the morning to give my child suck, behold, it was dead:
but when I had considered it in the morning, behold, it was not my son, which I did
bear.
1Ki 3:22 And the other woman said, Nay; but the living is my son, and the dead is
thy son. And this said, No; but the dead is thy son, and the living is my son. Thus
they spake before the king.
1Ki 3:23 Then said the king, The one saith, This is my son that liveth, and thy son
is the dead: and the other saith, Nay; but thy son is the dead, and my son is the
living.
1Ki 3:24 And the king said, Bring me a sword. And they brought a sword before the
king.
1Ki 3:25 And the king said, Divide the living child in two, and give half to the
one, and half to the other.
1Ki 3:26 Then spake the woman whose the living child was unto the king, for her bowels
yearned upon her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the living child, and in
no wise slay it. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor thine, but divide
it.
1Ki 3:27 Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise
slay it: she is the mother thereof.
1Ki 3:28 And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had judged; and they
feared the king: for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him, to do judgment.
The Sons of God:
Ro 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit
of God, they are the sons of God.
Ro 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have
received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
Ro 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children
of God:
Ro 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if
so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Sowing and
Reaping: Ga 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not
mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Ga 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he
that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
Ga 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if
we faint not.
Ga 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially
unto them who are of the household of faith.
The Spirit
of Fear: 2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us
the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
The Stairway
to Heaven: Ge 28:10 And Jacob went out from
Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
Ge 28:11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because
the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows,
and lay down in that place to sleep.
Ge 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of
it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
Ge 28:13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham
thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give
it, and to thy seed;
Ge 28:14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad
to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and
in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Ge 28:15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou
goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until
I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
Ge 28:16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this
place; and I knew it not.
Ge 28:17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other
but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
Ge 28:18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put
for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.
Ge 28:19 And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was
called Luz at the first.
Ge 28:20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me
in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,
Ge 28:21 So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD
be my God:
Ge 28:22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and
of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.
Stopping
the Sun & the Moon: Jos 10:12 Then spake
Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the
children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon
Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
Jos 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged
themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the
sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
Jos 10:14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened
unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
The
Sureness of God's Blessing: Heb 6:13 For when
God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
Heb 6:14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply
thee.
Heb 6:15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
Heb 6:16 For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to
them an end of all strife.
Heb 6:17 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the
immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:
Heb 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie,
we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the
hope set before us:
Heb 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and
which entereth into that within the veil;
Heb 6:20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest
for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
