then Jesus raising himself, and seeing none but the woman there, he said to her, woman, where are your accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

then said the Jews, what, will he kill himself? that he says, "whither I go, you cannot come."

you, who have the devil for your father, will execute the designs of your father: he was a murderer from the beginning, and deserted the truth, since he has no love for the truth: when he lyes, he speaks like himself: for he is a lyar, and the father of a lyar.

but by what means it was that he now sees, that we know not; or who made him see, we know not: he is of age, ask him, he will answer for himself.

Jesus said to him, not only thou hast seen him, but it is he himself that is talking with thee.

then said he to Jesus, Lord, I believe: and prostrated himself before him.

while ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. after having said these things, Jesus retir'd, and conceal'd himself from them.

as God is glorified by him, so God will glorify him in himself, and will immediately glorify him.

but when he, the spirit of truth shall come, he will inform you of all those truths: for he will not speak from himself; but the information he shall receive will he communicate: and acquaint you with what is to come.

for the father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I had my mission from God.

now the servants and officers that were there, had made a coal-fire, for it was cold, to warm themselves: and Peter stood warming himself among them.

Upon his expressing himself thus, one of the officers there present, struck Jesus on the face, saying, answerest thou the high priest so?

as Simon Peter then stood there warming himself: they said to him, art not thou also one of his disciples? which he denied, and said, I am not.

Then Pilate entred into the Pretorium, and addressing himself to Jesus, said to him, are not you the king of the Jews?

At length Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples upon the sea-coast of Tiberias; and the manner of his appearance was thus.

thereupon the favourite disciple of Jesus said to Peter, "it is the Lord." as soon as Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt on his coat, (for he was stript) and threw himself into the sea.

to whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion, of which they had many proofs, during the forty days he appear'd to them, and inform'd them about the reign of the Messias:

for David is not ascended to heaven: yet he saith himself, "the Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,

when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he try'd to associate himself with the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and could not be persuaded that he was a disciple.

one day about the ninth hour, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God, who addrest himself to him, and said, Cornelius!

as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met him, and prostrated himself at his feet,

then Cornelius said, it is now four days ago that I was fasting, and while I was at prayers in my house, about the ninth hour, a man in bright attire presented himself before me,

he told us how he had seen an angel, who had presented himself to him, and had said, send to Joppa, to fetch Simon, surnam'd Peter:

when they had pass'd the first and second guard, they came to the iron-gate that leads to the city, which open'd to them of itself: so they went out and pass'd together thro' one street: when all of a sudden the angel quitted Peter. Then coming to himself; now,

nevertheless he sufficiently display'd himself by his beneficence to mankind, in giving us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, replenishing our hearts with food and gladness."

he that does all these things, is the Lord himself that has said it." for the works of God are all known to him from the beginning of the world.

the jayler waking, and seeing the prison-doors open, drew his sword, designing to dispatch himself from the apprehension that the prisoners had escaped.

being arriv'd at Ephesus, he left them there, and went himself to the synagogue, where he disputed with the Jews,

he sent therefore Timothy and Erastus, two of his assistants in the ministry, before to Macedonia; but stay'd himself in Asia for some time.

where by appointment Paul was to be taken aboard, designing himself to go thither by land.

immediately those who were going to put him to the question, withdrew: the commander himself being under some apprehension for having order'd him to be bound.

Then Paul directing himself to the council, thus said, "hitherto I have liv'd strictly conscientious, as God knows."

Festus answer'd, that Paul was in custody at Cesarea, where he design'd to be himself e'er long:

thereupon Agrippa told Festus, he himself should be glad to hear the man. to-morrow, said Festus, you shall hear him.

the next day we touch'd at Sidon, where the centurion, who was very civil to Paul, gave him leave to go, and refresh himself at his friends.

and our spirits droop with fasting: when Paul presented himself, and said, "well, my friends, it had been, if I could have prevail'd upon you, to have sav'd your selves all this perplexity and loss by staying at Crete.

mankind impatiently desire that the divine being would display himself to his creatures,

if the divine Being has patiently bore with those objects of his displeasure, that had been working out their own destruction, why may he not reveal himself to make them feel his vindictive power,

as he saith himself in Osee, "I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her, beloved, which was not beloved.

Now it is by virtue of my apostolical commission, that I charge every man among you, not to entertain too high an opinion of himself; but modestly consider, that 'tis God who has dealt to every man his proportion of spiritual gifts.

Since then every one of us shall give an account of himself to God;

keep the persuasion you have, to your own conscience. blessed is he that approves himself to God, without making any difference about meats:

but they are all expos'd to the judgment of the spiritual, whilst he himself is not subject to the judgment of any man.

if that man's work should be burnt, he will suffer loss: but should he himself escape, it will be as out of the fire.

let no man deceive himself: if any among you pretends to worldly wisdom, let him commence fool, in order to be truly wise.

Let a man then sift and approve himself, and accordingly let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

he that speaks in an unknown tongue, edifies himself alone: but he that expounds, edifies the church.

for if the trumpet give an undistinguish'd sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?

but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and tacitly address himself to God.

and when all things shall be reduced under subjection to him, then shall the son also himself be subject to him that put all things under his subjection, that God may be all in all.

Now this is all owing to God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath made us the ministers of this reconciliation;

for it is God that has reconciled the world to himself, by Jesus Christ, by not imputing their sins to them; and hath committed to us the gospel of reconciliation.

Do ye judge of things by the outward appearance? if any man is confident in himself, that he is Christ's, let him from himself conclude too, that as he is Christ's, even so are we.

for not he that commendeth himself, but he whom the Lord commendeth, is the approved.

and no wonder; for satan himself may put on the appearance of an angel of light.

and from our Lord Jesus Christ: who gave himself for our sins,

for till certain Jews came thither from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, for fear of those, who were for circumcision:

and the rest of the Jews dissembled likewise with him, insomuch that Barnabas himself was carried away with their hypocrisy.

I am crucified with Christ, it is not I that now live, but Christ that liveth in me; the life I have in this body I live by faith in the son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

for if a man thinks himself to be considerable, when he is not, he deceives himself.

but let every one bring his own work to the test, and then he will have matter of glorying in himself alone, and not in another.

according as he had chosen us in himself before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy, free from vice, and devoted to virtue.

for he has discover'd to us the secret of his will, that out of his meer good pleasure, he had purposed in himself,

It is by him, that we have a share in the inheritance, which was before allotted to us, in consequence of his design, who executes the whole plan, as he himself had contriv'd it:

(which kept us at variance) by abolishing the dogmatical injunctions of the law, that having made the peace, he might incorporate the two into one new body under himself;

being built upon the foundation laid by the apostles and prophets, whereof Jesus Christ himself is the main stone of the angle:

for Christ loved us, and for us gave himself an offering and a sacrifice acceptable to God.

that he himself might make her appear illustrious to his own eye, a church without spot, or any thing like a defect; so as to be holy and irreprehensible.

in like manner ought men to love their wives, as their own bodies: "he that loves his wife, loveth himself."

wherefore let every one of you without exception, love his wife even as himself; and let the wife respect her husband.

who tho' he was the image of God, did not affect to appear with divine majesty, but divested himself thereof,

and his whole exterior showing nothing more than a meer man, he abased himself, and carried his submission so far as to die, even the death of the cross.

for there is no one that is so dear to me as he, and no one will more sincerely interest himself in your concerns.

it is he, that will change our vile body into a like form with his glorious body, by displaying that power which is able to subdue all things unto himself.

he himself is the head of the church, which is his body. he is the prince, the first-born from the dead, that in all things he might be chief.

and having made peace by the blood of his cross, to reconcile all things to himself, both those in heaven, and those upon earth.

As to brotherly love, I have no occasion to write about it, God himself having instructed you to love one another.

for the Lord himself will descend from heaven, and by the voice of the archangel, with the trumpet of God, resound the summons: they who died christians shall rise first:

who gave himself for the redemption of all mankind: this is what was to be promulg'd in due time:

nor must he be a new convert; for fear he should be elated with pride, and so involve himself in the same ruin as the devil.

he that enters into the service, disengages himself from civil affairs, that he may be acceptable to his officer.

who gave himself for us, to redeem us from all iniquity, and qualify us to be his peculiar people, passionately affected to virtue.

who being the radiation of his glory, and the imprest image of his substance, and governing all things by his powerful command, after having himself made expiation for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the divine majesty in the highest heavens.

Since then the children were made subject to a state of mortality, so he himself likewise was subject to the same condition: that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

for having himself stood the test of sufferings, he is capable of being moved to relieve those who undergo such tryals.

For every high priest is appointed to officiate for men in religious matters, offering gifts and sacrifices for their sins: being chosen from among the people. that as he himself is surrounded with infirmities,

to himself the honour of the priesthood: he must be called thereto by God, as Aaron was.

Wherefore Christ himself did not assume the character of an high priest; but it was confirm'd by him that said, "thou art my son, to-day have I begotten thee."

For when God gave his promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, saying,

as those high priests of the law were, to offer up daily sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for those of the people: having done this once for all, by offering up himself.

the high priest only enter'd, and that but once every year, when he carried the blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people.

how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the holy spirit offered himself a spotless victim to God, purify our souls from deadly sins, to serve the living God?

nor to make a frequent offering of himself, as the high priest every year enters into the holy of holies with other blood than his own.

for then must he have suffered several times since the beginning of the world, when in the consummation of the ages, he has appeared once for all to expiate sin by offering himself as a sacrifice.

'Twas by faith that Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he was declared righteous, God himself having testified that he accepted his offering, and after he died for his faith, he was not silent.

now without faith it is impossible to be acceptable to him: for he that presents himself to God, cannot but believe he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who make their addresses to him.
