To deliver such a one to Satan for the ruin of the flesh, that the spirit might be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

I have said before, and say beforehand, as being present the second; and being away now I write to them having sinned before, and to all the rest, that, if I should come again, I will not spare:

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him hearing say, Come. And let him thirsting come. And let him wishing, take the water of life freely.

For I am zealous of you with the zeal of God: for I fitted you to one husband, to present a pure virgin to Christ.

As a young man will marry a virgin, thy sons shall marry thee: and the bridegroom rejoicing over the bride, thy God will rejoice over thee.

Let us rejoice, and be transported with joy, and let us give glory to him: for the marriage of the Lamb came, and his wife prepared herself.

Chanting of David. O Jehovah, who shall sojourn in thy tent? who shall dwell in thy holy mountain?

For the first tent was prepared; (in which was the chandelier, and table, and the setting up of the loaves;) which is called holy.

And thou shalt make the tent, ten curtains, white linen twisted, and cerulean purple, and reddish purple, and double scarlet: and cherubs the work of the artificer shalt thou make them.

And Christ being present, a chief priest of good things about to be, by a greater and more perfect tent, not made with hands, that is; not of this creation;

And I gave my dwelling in the midst of you: and my soul shall not abhor you.

And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that he might be the first in all

And placed all things under his, feet, and gave him head over all things to the church,

And speaking the truth in love, let us grow up into him in all things, who is the head, Christ:

For the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

And not having power over the Head, from whom all the body, by all the senses of touch and connections furnished and joined together, increases with the increase of God.

Or know ye not, that as many of us as were immersed in Christ Jesus, we were immersed into his death?

For also in one Spirit were we all immersed into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether servants or free; and we have all been given to drink into one Spirit.

For as many of you as were immersed into Christ have put on Christ.

Buried together with him in immersion, in which also were ye risen together by the faith of the operation of God, having raised him from the dead.

By which also the figure, immersion, now saves us (not by laying aside of the filth of the flesh, but the question of a good. consciousness toward God,) by the rising up of Jesus Christ:

Happy him thou wilt choose, and thou wilt draw near; he shall dwell in thy enclosures: we shall be satisfied in the good of thy house; holy is thy temple.

In my soul fainting upon me I remembered Jehovah: and my prayers will come in to thee to thy holy temple.

In whom all the building fitted together increases into a holy temple in the Lord:

And I in the multitude of thy mercy will come into thy house; I will worship to thy holy temple in thy fear.

Jehovah is in his holy temple; Jehovah, in the heavens his throne: his eyes will behold, his eyelashes will try the sons of man.

For there is a day they watching upon mount Ephraim called, Arise ye, and we will go up to Zion to Jehovah our God.

By the rivers of Babel, there we sat down: also we wept in our remembering Zion.

Play on the harp to Jehovah dwelling in Zion: announce among the peoples his doings.

Mount Zion shall rejoice, the daughters of Judah shall be glad for sake of thy judgments.

Remember thine assembly thou didst purchase of old; thou didst redeem the rod of thine inheritance; this mount Zion thou didst dwell in it

Is any sick among you let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil in the name of the Lord:

Let the elders having presided well be deemed worthy of double honour, chiefly they being wearied in word and doctrine.

Which also they did, having sent to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

The elders among you I beseech, a fellow elder, and witness of the sufferings of Christ, and a participator of the glory which is about to be revealed:

For this I left thee in Crete, that thou shouldest rectify things left behind, and set elders in the city, as I directed thee:

Therefore, having gone, disciple all nations; immersing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit:

And he having believed and having been immersed shall be saved; but he not having believed shall be condemned.

Jesus says to him, Truly, truly, I say to thee, Except any one be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot come into the kingdom of God.

And Peter said to them, Repent, and be each of you immersed in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

And he commanded them to be immersed in the name of the Lord. Then asked they him to remain certain. days.

Happy him thou wilt choose, and thou wilt draw near; he shall dwell in thy enclosures: we shall be satisfied in the good of thy house; holy is thy temple.

Those being planted in the house of Jehovah, shall flourish in the enclosures of our God.

My soul longed after, and also failed for the enclosures of Jehovah: my heart and my flesh will rejoice for the living God.

For good a day in thine enclosures above a thousand. I chose to wait on the threshold in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tents of injustice.

Give to Jehovah the glory of his name: lift ye up a gift and come to his enclosures.

Praising God, and having favor with the whole people. And in the day the Lord added the saved to the church.

If therefore the whole church come together upon the same, and all speak with tongues, and the private individual, or unbelieving, come in, will they not say that ye are enraged?

And I say to thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock will I build my church; and the gates of hell shall not overcome her.

And if he refuse hearing them, speak to the church: and if he refuse hearing the church, let him be to thee as of the nations and a publican.

For truly first, ye coming together in the church, I hear divisions to be among you; and some part I believe.

And they eating, Jesus, having taken the bread and praised, brake and gave to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

And they eating, Jesus having taken bread, having praised, brake, and gave them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.

The cup of praise which we praise, is it not the mutual participation of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the mutual participation of the body of Christ?

For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, That the Lord Jesus, in the night which he was delivered up, took bread:

Believe them guiding you, and yield: (for they watch vigilantly for your souls, as going to return the word.) that with joy they might do this, and not lamenting: for this unprofitable for you.

Therefore receive him in the Lord with all joy; and hold such esteemed.

And we ask you, brethren, to know those being fatigued among you, and set over you in the Lord, and reminding you; And to think them above ordinary in love for their work. Live in peace in yourselves.

Let the elders having presided well be deemed worthy of double honour, chiefly they being wearied in word and doctrine.

Remember them guiding you, who spake to you the word of God: of whom, observing narrowly the issue of the mode of life, imitate the faith:

Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them: whose soever ye retain, they have been retained.

And I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of the heavens: and whatever thou shalt bind upon earth shall be bound in the heavens: and whatever thou shalt loose upon earth shall be loosed in the heavens.

Truly I say to you, Whatever things ye should bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever things ye should loose upon earth shall be loosed in heaven.

And as they were going through the cities, they delivered them the orders to watch, having been determined by the sent and the elders in Jerusalem.

Believe them guiding you, and yield: (for they watch vigilantly for your souls, as going to return the word.) that with joy they might do this, and not lamenting: for this unprofitable for you.

Built upon the foundation of the sent, and of the prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner stone;

And I say to thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock will I build my church; and the gates of hell shall not overcome her.

Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

And if I delay, that thou shouldest know how thou must be occupied in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth.

And Herod having set him at nought with his troops, and having mocked, putting about him shining clothing, sent him out to Pilate.

And therefore the Jews drove out Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these in the sabbath.

And having risen up, they cast him without the city, and they brought him to the brow of the mount upon which their city was built, to hurt him down.

And Jesus walked after these in Galilee: for he wished not to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, for my word has no place in you.

According to the grace of God given to me, as a wise chief-architect, I have laid the foundation, and another builds upon. And let each see how he builds upon.

In whom all the building fitted together increases into a holy temple in the Lord:

And I say to thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock will I build my church; and the gates of hell shall not overcome her.

And ye yourselves are built, as living stones, a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to bring up spiritual sacrifice; acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

And they having passed from Perga, approached Antioch of Pisidia, and having come into the synagogue on the day of the sabbaths, they sat down.

And having passed from thence, he went into their assembly;

And they go into Capernaum; and quickly in the sabbaths, having entered into the synagogue, he taught.

And he came to Nazareth where he was brought up, and he went in, as was the custom to him in the day of the sabbaths, into the assembly, and stood up to read.

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the custom to some; but beseeching: and by so much the more, inasmuch as ye see the day drawing near.
