But godliness with contentment is great gain. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies,
as much as in all riches. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent. 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. Seek the Lord, and his strength:
seek his face evermore. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. The hope of the righteous shall be gladness:
but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. By the word of the Lord were the heavens made;
and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left:
remove thy foot from evil. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. And even to your old age I am he;
and even to hoar hairs will I carry you:
I have made, and I will bear;
even I will carry, and will deliver you. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies,
and not to covetousness. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied. Bless the Lord, O my soul:
and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. He healeth the broken in heart,
and bindeth up their wounds. 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. Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving. Children's children are the crown of old men;
and the glory of children are their fathers. Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory. Selah.
