Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the region thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.

And fear not them who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall show justice to the Gentiles.

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Jesus said unto him, If you will be perfect, go and sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.

And the remnant took his servants, and treated them shamefully, and slew them.

Jesus said unto him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.

That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you slew between the temple and the altar.

But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go you rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

Then said he unto them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even unto death: tarry you here, and watch with me.

Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing you lack: go your way, sell whatsoever you have, and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength: this is the first commandment.

And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbor as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

And said unto them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful unto death: tarry you here, and watch.

And Mary said, My soul does magnify the Lord,

(Yea, a sword shall pierce through your own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

And he answering said, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.

Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.

But God said unto him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have prepared?

Sell what you have, and give alms; provide yourselves purses which grow not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.

Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet you lack one thing: sell all that you have, and distribute unto the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

But those my enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring here, and slay them before me.

Then said he unto them, But now, he that has a purse, let him take it, and likewise his bag: and he that has no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

Then he said unto them, O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of your house has consumed me.

He that has received his testimony has set his seal to this that God is true.

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.

Labor not for the food which perishes, but for that food which endures unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for on him has God the Father set his seal.

Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.

Because you will not leave my soul in hades, neither will you allow your Holy One to see corruption.

He seeing this before spoke of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hades, neither his flesh did see corruption.

And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

And it shall come to pass, that every soul, who will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.

And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that any of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you slew and hanged on a tree.

When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.

And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.

And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.

As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and dragging off men and women committed them to prison.

And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?

And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prays,

And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto you in the way as you came, has sent me, that you might receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

And when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples who were at Damascus.

But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this one is the very Christ.

But their plot was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.

And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.

And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Hellenists: but they went about to slay him.

And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:

And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, to seek Saul:

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

And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, when they had fulfilled their ministry, and took with them John, whose surname was Mark.

Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.

Who was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.

Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Spirit, set his eyes on him,

Now when Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

Therefore setting sail from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;

And there abode three months. And when the Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to sail into Syria, he purposed to return through Macedonia.

For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, because he would not spend the time in Asia: for he hastened, if it were possible for him, to be at Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.

And it came to pass, that after we were parted from them, and had set sail, we came with a straight course unto Cos, and the day following unto Rhodes, and from there unto Patara:

And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?

Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive your sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.

And when the blood of your martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the clothing of them that slew him.

And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? it is hard for you to kick against the goads.

And when it was determined that we should sail to Italy, they delivered Paul and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion of Augustus' band.

And entering into a ship of Adramyttium, we embarked, meaning to sail by the coasts of Asia; one Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us.

Which when they had hoisted it, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksand, struck sail, and so were driven.

But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, you should have hearkened unto me, and not have set sail from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.

Saying, Fear not, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God has given you all them that sail with you.

Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that does evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek;

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:

For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of my apostleship are you in the Lord.

And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a life-giving spirit.

Moreover I call God for a witness upon my soul, that to spare you I came not as yet unto Corinth.

For behold this same thing, that you sorrowed after a godly sort, what earnestness it worked in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what full punishment! In all things you have proved yourselves to be pure in this matter.

For I know the eagerness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal has provoked very many.

Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

For I bear him witness, that he has a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea and them in Hierapolis.

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Nevertheless the foundation of God stands sure, having this seal, The Lord knows them that are his. And, Let every one that names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

For the word of God is living, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters into that within the veil;

Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger:

Come now, you that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:

Let him know, that he who converts the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as aliens and exiles, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And why slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
