LET US STUDY HEBREW CHAPTER 12 TOGETHER TODAY



Hebrews 12

King James Version (KJV)

12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

12 Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

13 And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

14 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:

20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:

21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)

22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

29 For our God is a consuming fire.

THE JOY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST IS MY STRENGTH


James 1

King James Version (KJV)

1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

9 Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:

10 But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

11 For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.




JAMES CHAPTER 1

VS 1 JAMES SEES AND CALLS HIMSELF A SERVANT OF GOD AND OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND SEND GREETING. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF HUMILITY. CHRISTIANS ARE HUMBLE.
VS 2 HE CALLS THEM BRETHREN. THIS IS A SHOW OF RESPECT AND AFFECTION. HE THEN ADDRESSES THE ISSUE OF TEMTATIONS. TEMPTATIONS ARE FACTS OF LIFE. YOUR RESPONSE TO THEM DEPENDS ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IN CHRIST BY FAITH WHO GIVES YOU KNOWLEDGE AND POWER TO OVERCOME TEMPTATION.
HE SHOWS THAT ALTHOUGH TEMPTATION IS NOT PLEASANT, WE CAN REJOICE IN TRIBULATION WHEN WE HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD FOR THOSE WHO LOVE GOD. THE STATEMENT “COUNT IT ALL JOY” MEANS THAT THE ATTITUDE OF THE CHRISTIAN WHEN FACED WITH TEMPTATION IS TO REJOICE. THIS IS THE JOY OF AN ANTICIPATED VICTORY IN CHRIST JESUS. THIS IS EXERCISING YOUR FAITH. WHEN YOU FOCUS IN THE FACT THAT YOU ARE BEING TEMPTED BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. THAT MEANS THAT YOUR CHRISTIANITY IS SINCERE AND THE GOD OF TRUTH WILL STAND BY YOU AND STRENGTHEN YOU THAT YOU MAY BE A PILLAR AND ABLE TO STAND AND STRENGTHEN OTHERS IN THE DAY OF TRIBULATION.  REMEMBER THE WAY TO STAND IS TO HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE GOD AND TO BELIEVE IN THE FINISHED WORK OF SALVATION IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD.
VS 3 THE PURPOSE OF THE TRYING OF THE FAITH OF A CHRISTIAN IS THAT IT WORKETH PATIENCE. THIS SHOULD GLADEN OUR HEART. WHEN YOU SET YOUR EYES ON THE GOAL SET BEFORE YOU IT IS EASIER TO CARRY OUT THE TASK AT HAND WITH JOY.
VS 4 LET PATIENCE HAVE HER PERFECT WORK, THAT YE MAY BE PERFECT AND ENTIRE, WANTING NOTHING. THESE TEMPTATIONS AND TRIALS ARE USED TO MAKE YOU BETTER. FIRST YOU LEARN PATIENCE. IN PATIENCE, YOU PATIENTLY ALLOW GOD TO MAKE YOU PERFECT.  WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN TO A PATIENT UNDERGOING SURGERY WHO DECIEDES TO WALK AWAY FROM THE OPERATING ROOM SIMPLY BECAUSE THE OPERATION WAS TAKING TOO LONG. PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE . YOU LEARN PATIENCE BY BEING PATIENT.
JESUS CHRIST IS THE STANDARD. THE CHRISTIAN LIFE IS A LIFE OF TRUST AND OBEDIENCE. YOU JUST HAVE TO TRUST GOD AND OBEY HIM. YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT GOD NEVER FAILS AND HE WILL SURELY DELIVER ALL THOSE WHO TRUST IN HIM.
VS 5 WISDOM IS IMPORTANT . IF ANY OF YOU LACK WISDOM, LET HIM ASK GOD, THAT GIVETH TO ALL MEN LIBERALLY, AND UPBRAIDETH NOT; AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN HIM.

GOD GIVES WISDOM. LET US LEARN TO ASK GOD FOR WISDOM.
VS 6 LET US ASK IN FAITH. WHEN YOU ASK IN FAITH, YOU HAVE NO DOUBT. YOU simply patiently wait for the promise.  SINCE WE KNOW THAT GOD WILL NEVER FAIL; WE SHOULD NEVER WAVER. WHEN YOU ARE STEADFAST IN YOUR FAITH IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, YOU WILL INHERIT THE PROMIS THROUGH FAITH.

VS 7, 8 A DOUBLE MINDED MAN IS UNSTABLE IN ALL HIS WAYS.

VS 9 LET THE BROTHER OF LOW DEGREE REJOICE IN THAT HE IS EXALTED.
VS 10 BUT THE RICH, IN THAT HE IS MADE LOW

THIS MEANS THAT GOD KNOWS WHAT YOU NEED TO GET TO HEAVEN. IF YOU NEED TO BE HUMBLE, HE WILL MAKE YOU HUMBLE, IF YOU NEED STRENGTH AND CAURAGE HE WILL STENGTHEN YOU AND SUPPLY ALL YOUR NEEDS ACCORDING TO HIS REACHES IN GLORY.

VS 12 BLESSED IS THE MAN THAT ENDURETH TEMPTATION: FOR WHEN HE IS TRIED, HE SHALL RECEIVE THE CROWN OF LIFE, WHICH THE LORD HATH PROMISED TO THEM THAT LOVE HIM.

THIS IS IMPORTANT. WHEN YOU BELIEVE IN OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, YOU WILL OVERCOME AND ENDURE WHEN YOU ARE TRIE. THIS IS BECAUSE HE WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE PERFECT.

VS 13 GOD GOD CAN NOT BE TEMPTED WITH EVIL, NEITHER TEMPTETH HE ANY MAN.
VS 14 DESIRES AND LUSTS ARE AVENUES FOR TEMPTATION. PUT YOUR DESIRES AND WANTS IN CHECK. HOW DO YOU DO THAT. HAND OVER THE KEY TO JESUS CHRIST. THAT IS THE DIFFICULT PART. HAND OVER CONTROL TO JESUS CHRIST. ONCE YOU TAKE THAT DECISION AND TAKE THAT BOLD STEP OF FAITH, HE TAKES OVER . HE NOW DIRECTS YOU GIVING INSTRUCTIONS AND DIRECTIVES. YOUR DUTY IS JUST TO TRUST AND OBEY AND ALL WILL BE WELL. WE ARE MADE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE PRICE FOR HARD WORK IS MORE WORK. WELL THINK ABOUT THIS. JESUS CHRIST SAID, COME UNTO ME ALL YE WHO ARE BURDEN AND ARE HEAVY LAIDEN AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST. CAST YOUR CARES ONJESUS CHRIST FOR HE CARES. CAST ALL YOUR CARES ON OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST FOR HE CARES FOR YOU.
ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER. BE CAREFUL WHENEVER YOU WANT SOMETHIG. ASK SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS LIKE, CAN I DO WITHOUT THIS? IS THERE AN ALTERNATIVE? WHAT HAPPENS IF I DO NOT GET IT? DO I REALLY NEED IT? IS IT THE WILL OF GOD FOR ME AT THIS TIME? THESE QUESTIONS WILL HELP YOU TO PUT YOUR DESIRES IN CHECK AND TEACH YOU CONTENTMENT. GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT IS GREAT GAIN. WE CAME TO THIS WORLD WITH NOTHING AND WILL LEAVE WITH NOTHING. OUR SOUL IS VERY PRECIOUS LET US TAKE CARE OF IT BY ACCEPTING JESUS CHRIST TODAY FOR OUR SALVATION.
VS 15 SIN LEADS TO DEATH.
VS 16 DO NOT ERR MY BELOVED BRETHREN

VS 17 EVERY GOOD GIFT AND EVERY PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE AND COMETH DOWN FROM THE FATHER OF LIGHT WITH WHOM IS NO VARIABLENESS, NEITHER SHADOW OF TURNING.
Vs 18 OF HIS OWN WILL BEGAT HE US WITH THE WORD OF TRUTH, THAT WE SHOULD BE A KIND OF FIRSTFRUITS OF HIS CREATURES.

NOTICE HERE THAT IT IS THE WILL OF GOD THAT WE SHOULD BE HIS CHILDREN AND A KIND OF FIRSTFRUIT OF HIS CREATURES. THE WORD OF GOD IS TRUE. WITH HIS WORD HE BEGAT US OF HIS OWN WILL. REMEMBER THAT IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD AND THE WORD WAS GOD AND THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US . AGAIN AS MANY AS BELIEVE IN HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON , HE GIVES POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD.

VS 19 WHEREFORE, MY BELOVED BRETHEREN, LET EVERY MAN BE SWIFT TO HEAR, SLOW TO SPEAK, AND SLOW TO WRATH.

VS 20 FOR THE WRATH OF MAN WORKETH NOT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD.

VS 21 WHEREFORE LAY APART ALL FILTHINESS AND SUPERFLUITY OF NAUGHTINESS, AND RECEIVE WITH MEEKNESS THE ENGRAFTED WORD, WHICH IS ABLE TO SAVE YOUR SOULS.

THIS IS THE WORD OF GOD.

AS A CHILD OF GOD, LET YOUR WORDS BE FEW. THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK. SPEAK MORE TO GOD THAN TO MAN. REMEMBER THAT THE HEART OF THE KING IS IN THE HAND OF GOD. SPEND MORE TIME WITH GOD. LEARN TO FORM THE HABIT OF SAYING TO GOD FIRST ANY THING YOU WANT TO SAY TO MAN. BY SO DOING, YOU WILL MAKE FEWER MISTAKES IF ANY IN WORD THOUGHT AND DEED. THIS IS BECAUSE GOD ALMIGHTY WILL CORRECT EVERY WORD YOU SAY AND GIVE YOU A GOOD REPLY. AS AN OBEDIENT CHILD WHEN YOU TAKE HEED, YOUR LIFE WILL REFLECT THIS CLOSER WALK WITH GOD. TRY IT TODAY AND GOD WILL BLESS YOU.

LEARN TO LISTEN, ESPECIALLY TO GOD WHEN HE SPEAKS SO THAT YOU WILL GET USED TO HIM AND DIFFERENCIATE HIS WORDS FROM OTHERS. READ THE BIBLE AND PRAY ALWAYS.

DO NOT GET ANGRY. WHEN YOU ARE ANGRY, IT IS EASY TO LOOSE CONTROL. IT IS EASY TO FORGET THE GAME PLAN. IT IS ESAY TO OFFEND GOD. JUST REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE AN AMBERSSADOR OF JESUS CHRIST ON EARTH JUST REPORT THE MATTER TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AND LET HIM TAKE CARE OF IT WHILE YOU WAIT FOR FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS.  AS A CHRISTIAN GOD GIVES YOU SELFCONTROL AND DISCIPLINE.

WHEN YOU ARE ANGRY, YOU CAN NOT PLEASE GOD. WHEN YOU ARE ANGRY, YOU CAN NOT DO GOOD THINGS. WHEN YOU ARE ANGRY YOU CAN NOT BE FOCUSED. BE SOBER AND VIGILANT.

TAKE AWAY ALL FILTHINESS AND SUPERFLUITY OF NAUGHTINESS;

WHEN YOU TAKE THESE AWAY, YOU RECEIVE WITH MEEKNESS THE ENGRAFTED WORD OF GOD, WHICH IS ABLE TO SAVE YOUR SOUL.

YOUR SOUL IS VERY PRECIOUS. TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. YOU NEED THE WORD OF GOD FOR THIS PURPOSE.

VS  22 BUT BE YE DOERS OF THE WORD, AND NOT HEAERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOUR OWN SELVES.

WHEN WE HEAR THE WORD OF GOD IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE OBEY GOD AND DO THE WORD OF GOD.

DO NOT DECIEVE YOURSELD. GOD IS A GOOD GOD AND GOD IS JUST TOO.

VS 25 WHEN YOU DO THE WORK OF GOD, YOU SHALL BE BLESSED IN YOUR DEED.

VS 26 CHRISTIANS SHOULD CONTROL THEIR TONGUE.

VS 27 PURE RELIGION AND UNDEFILED BEFORE GOD AND THE FATHER IS THIS TO VISIT THE FATHERLESS AND WIDOWS IN THEIR AFFLICTION, AND TO KEEP HIMSELF UNSPOTTED FROM THE WORLD.

A NEW BEGINNING WITH GOD IS A GOOD BEGINNING


 A NEW BEGINNING WITH JESUS CHRIST IS A GOOD BEGINNING.

Revelation 22

King James Version (KJV)

22 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

King James Version (KJV)

Genesis 1

King James Version (KJV)

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Genesis 2

King James Version (KJV)

2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Ecclesiastes 12

King James Version (KJV)

12 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:

3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,

4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;

5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:

6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.

9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.

10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.

11 The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Revelation 22

King James Version (KJV)

22 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

King James Version (KJV)

Genesis 1

King James Version (KJV)

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Genesis 2

King James Version (KJV)

2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.

2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,

5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.

6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9 And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.

14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.

20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
