Day 16

Reading (KJV)

Matthew 25

1.	Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
2.	And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
3.	They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
4.	But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
5.	While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
6.	And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
7.	Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
8.	And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
9.	But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
10.	And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
11.	Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
12.	But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
13.	Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
14.	For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.
15.	And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
16.	Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.
17.	And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.
18.	But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money.
19.	After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.
20.	And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.
21.	His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
22.	He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.
23.	His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
24.	Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
25.	And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
26.	His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
27.	Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
28.	Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29.	For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
30.	And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
31.	When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:
32.	And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
33.	And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.
34.	Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35.	For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36.	Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37.	Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38.	When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39.	Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40.	And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41.	Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42.	For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43.	I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44.	Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45.	Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46.	And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Matthew 26

1.	And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples,
2.	Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified.
3.	Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas,
4.	And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtilty, and kill him.
5.	But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people.
6.	Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,
7.	There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat.
8.	But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
9.	For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
10.	When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me.
11.	For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
12.	For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial.
13.	Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
14.	Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,
15.	And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
16.	And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
17.	Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?
18.	And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples.
19.	And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.
20.	Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.
21.	And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.
22.	And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
23.	And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.
24.	The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born.
25.	Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
26.	And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27.	And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28.	For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29.	But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.
30.	And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
31.	Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
32.	But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee.
33.	Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.
34.	Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
35.	Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
36.	Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.
37.	And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.
38.	Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
39.	And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40.	And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41.	Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42.	He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
43.	And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
44.	And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
45.	Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46.	Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
47.	And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48.	Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
49.	And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
50.	And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.
51.	And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
52.	Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
53.	Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
54.	But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
55.	In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me.
56.	But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
57.	And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
58.	But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
59.	Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
60.	But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
61.	And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
62.	And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
63.	But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
64.	Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
65.	Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.
66.	What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
67.	Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands,
68.	Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ, Who is he that smote thee?
69.	Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee.
70.	But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.
71.	And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
72.	And again he denied with an oath, I do not know the man.
73.	And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth thee.
74.	Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.
75.	And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly.

Matthew 27

1.	When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:
2.	And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
3.	Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4.	Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.
5.	And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
6.	And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.
7.	And they took counsel, and bought with them the potter's field, to bury strangers in.
8.	Wherefore that field was called, The field of blood, unto this day.
9.	Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;
10.	And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.
11.	And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest.
12.	And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing.
13.	Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee?
14.	And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly.
15.	Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would.
16.	And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
17.	Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
18.	For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
19.	When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
20.	But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
21.	The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
22.	Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
23.	And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
24.	When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
25.	Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
26.	Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
27.	Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
28.	And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
29.	And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30.	And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
31.	And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.
32.	And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
33.	And when they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of a skull,
34.	They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall: and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.
35.	And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.
36.	And sitting down they watched him there;
37.	And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
38.	Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
39.	And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
40.	And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
41.	Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
42.	He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
43.	He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
44.	The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
45.	Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
46.	And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
47.	Some of them that stood there, when they heard that, said, This man calleth for Elias.
48.	And straightway one of them ran, and took a spunge, and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink.
49.	The rest said, Let be, let us see whether Elias will come to save him.
50.	Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51.	And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52.	And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53.	And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
54.	Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
55.	And many women were there beholding afar off, which followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering unto him:
56.	Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.
57.	When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:
58.	He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered.
59.	And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,
60.	And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.
61.	And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
62.	Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,
63.	Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.
64.	Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
65.	Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can.
66.	So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

Matthew 28

1.	In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2.	And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
3.	His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
4.	And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
5.	And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
6.	He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
7.	And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
8.	And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
9.	And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
10.	Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
11.	Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.
12.	And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers,
13.	Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
14.	And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.
15.	So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
16.	Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17.	And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18.	And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19.	Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20.	Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Acts 22

1.	Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you.
2.	(And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)
3.	I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfect manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous toward God, as ye all are this day.
4.	And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
5.	As also the high priest doth bear me witness, and all the estate of the elders: from whom also I received letters unto the brethren, and went to Damascus, to bring them which were there bound unto Jerusalem, for to be punished.
6.	And it came to pass, that, as I made my journey, and was come nigh unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me.
7.	And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
8.	And I answered, Who art thou, Lord? And he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest.
9.	And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they heard not the voice of him that spake to me.
10.	And I said, What shall I do, LORD? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.
11.	And when I could not see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of them that were with me, I came into Damascus.
12.	And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,
13.	Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
14.	And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
15.	For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
16.	And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
17.	And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
18.	And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
19.	And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
20.	And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.
21.	And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the Gentiles.
22.	And they gave him audience unto this word, and then lifted up their voices, and said, Away with such a fellow from the earth: for it is not fit that he should live.
23.	And as they cried out, and cast off their clothes, and threw dust into the air,
24.	The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him.
25.	And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned?
26.	When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman.
27.	Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea.
28.	And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born.
29.	Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him.
30.	On the morrow, because he would have known the certainty wherefore he was accused of the Jews, he loosed him from his bands, and commanded the chief priests and all their council to appear, and brought Paul down, and set him before them.

2 Timothy 1

1.	Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2.	To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3.	I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;
4.	Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5.	When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
6.	Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.
7.	For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
8.	Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9.	Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
10.	But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
11.	Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12.	For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
13.	Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14.	That good thing which was committed unto thee keep by the Holy Ghost which dwelleth in us.
15.	This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16.	The Lord give mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus; for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain:
17.	But, when he was in Rome, he sought me out very diligently, and found me.
18.	The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy of the Lord in that day: and in how many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.

2 Timothy 2

1.	Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2.	And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3.	Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4.	No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5.	And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6.	The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.
7.	Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.
8.	Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel:
9.	Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.
10.	Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11.	It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:
12.	If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13.	If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
14.	Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
15.	Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16.	But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17.	And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18.	Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
19.	Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
20.	But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
21.	If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
22.	Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
23.	But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.
24.	And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25.	In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26.	And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

2 Timothy 3

1.	This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2.	For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3.	Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4.	Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5.	Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6.	For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7.	Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8.	Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9.	But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.
10.	But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11.	Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12.	Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.
13.	But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14.	But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
15.	And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16.	All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
17.	That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

2 Timothy 4

1.	I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2.	Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3.	For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4.	And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5.	But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
6.	For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7.	I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
8.	Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
9.	Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
10.	For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.
11.	Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry.
12.	And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.
13.	The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments.
14.	Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:
15.	Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
16.	At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge.
17.	Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
18.	And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
19.	Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
20.	Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.
21.	Do thy diligence to come before winter. Eubulus greeteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren.
22.	The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.

Titus 1

1.	Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;
2.	In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
3.	But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;
4.	To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
5.	For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
6.	If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
7.	For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;
8.	But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
9.	Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
10.	For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11.	Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
12.	One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13.	This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14.	Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
15.	Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16.	They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Titus 2

1.	But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2.	That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3.	The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4.	That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5.	To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
6.	Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
7.	In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
8.	Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
9.	Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
10.	Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
11.	For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
12.	Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
13.	Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
14.	Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
15.	These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.

Titus 3

1.	Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2.	To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
3.	For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
4.	But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5.	Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6.	Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7.	That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
8.	This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
9.	But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10.	A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11.	Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
12.	When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, be diligent to come unto me to Nicopolis: for I have determined there to winter.
13.	Bring Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them.
14.	And let our's also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.
15.	All that are with me salute thee. Greet them that love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.

Revelation 16

1.	And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.
2.	And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.
3.	And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
4.	And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5.	And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6.	For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
7.	And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8.	And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9.	And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
10.	And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
11.	And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.
12.	And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
13.	And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14.	For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15.	Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
16.	And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
17.	And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
18.	And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.
19.	And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.
20.	And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21.	And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
