1 Timothy
1:1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Saviour, and Christ Jesus our hope; 1:2unto Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 1:3As I exhorted thee to tarry at Ephesus, when I was going into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge certain men not to teach a different doctrine, 1:4neither to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questionings, rather than a dispensation of God which is in faith; [so do I now]. 1:5But the end of the charge is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and faith unfeigned: 1:6from which things some having swerved have turned aside unto vain talking; 1:7desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm. 1:8But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully, 1:9as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10for fornicators, for abusers of themselves with men, for menstealers, for liars, for false swearers, and if there be any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine; 1:11according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust. 1:12I thank him that enabled me, [even] Christ Jesus our Lord, for that he counted me faithful, appointing me to [his] service; 1:13though I was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: howbeit I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief; 1:14and the grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 1:15Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief: 1:16howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me as chief might Jesus Christ show forth all his longsuffering, for an ensample of them that should thereafter believe on him unto eternal life. 1:17Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, [be] honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. 1:18This charge I commit unto thee, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which led the way to thee, that by them thou mayest war the good warfare; 1:19holding faith and a good conscience; which some having thrust from them made shipwreck concerning the faith: 1:20of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I delivered unto Satan, that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
2:1I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men; 2:2for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity. 2:3This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 2:4who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. 2:5For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, [himself] man, Christ Jesus, 2:6who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony [to be borne] in its own times; 2:7whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 2:8I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing. 2:9In like manner, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, and gold or pearls or costly raiment; 2:10but (which becometh women professing godliness) through good works. 2:11Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection. 2:12But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness. 2:13For Adam was first formed, then Eve; 2:14and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression: 2:15but she shall be saved through her child-bearing, if they continue in faith and love and sanctification with sobriety.
3:1Faithful is the saying, If a man seeketh the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 3:2The bishop therefore must be without reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, orderly, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3:3no brawler, no striker; but gentle, not contentious, no lover of money; 3:4one that ruleth well his own house, having [his] children in subjection with all gravity; 3:5(but if a man knoweth not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 3:6not a novice, lest being puffed up he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 3:7Moreover he must have good testimony from them that are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 3:8Deacons in like manner [must be] grave, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 3:9holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 3:10And let these also first be proved; then let them serve as deacons, if they be blameless. 3:11Women in like manner [must be] grave, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things. 3:12Let deacons be husbands of one wife, ruling [their] children and their own houses well. 3:13For they that have served well as deacons gain to themselves a good standing, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. 3:14These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly; 3:15but if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how men ought to behave themselves in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 3:16And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness; He who was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the spirit, Seen of angels, Preached among the nations, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.
4:1But the Spirit saith expressly, that in later times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons, 4:2through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron; 4:3forbidding to marry, [and commanding] to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe and know the truth. 4:4For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it be received with thanksgiving: 4:5for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer. 4:6If thou put the brethren in mind of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith, and of the good doctrine which thou hast followed [until now]: 4:7but refuse profane and old wives` fables. And exercise thyself unto godliness: 4:8for bodily exercise is profitable for a little; but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life which now is, and of that which is to come. 4:9Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation. 4:10For to this end we labor and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of them that believe. 4:11These things command and teach. 4:12Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an ensample to them that believe, in word, in manner of life, in love, in faith, in purity. 4:13Till I come, give heed to reading, to exhortation, to teaching. 4:14Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 4:15Be diligent in these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy progress may be manifest unto all. 4:16Take heed to thyself, and to thy teaching. Continue in these things; for in doing this thou shalt save both thyself and them that hear thee.
5:1Rebuke not an elder, but exhort him as a father; the younger men as brethren: 5:2the elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, in all purity. 5:3Honor widows that are widows indeed. 5:4But if any widow hath children or grandchildren, let them learn first to show piety towards their own family, and to requite their parents: for this is acceptable in the sight of God. 5:5Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, hath her hope set on God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day. 5:6But she that giveth herself to pleasure is dead while she liveth. 5:7These things also command, that they may be without reproach. 5:8But if any provideth not for his own, and specially his own household, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. 5:9Let none be enrolled as a widow under threescore years old, [having been] the wife of one man, 5:10well reported of for good works; if she hath brought up children, if she hath used hospitality to strangers, if she hath washed the saints` feet, if she hath relieved the afflicted, if she hath diligently followed every good work. 5:11But younger widows refuse: for when they have waxed wanton against Christ, they desire to marry; 5:12having condemnation, because they have rejected their first pledge. 5:13And withal they learn also [to be] idle, going about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. 5:14I desire therefore that the younger [widows] marry, bear children, rule the household, give no occasion to the adversary for reviling: 5:15for already some are turned aside after Satan. 5:16If any woman that believeth hath widows, let her relieve them, and let not the church be burdened; that it mat relieve them that are widows indeed. 5:17Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in the word and in teaching. 5:18For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn. And, The laborer is worthy of his hire. 5:19Against an elder receive not an accusation, except at [the mouth of] two or three witnesses. 5:20Them that sin reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear. 5:21I charge [thee] in the sight of God, and Christ Jesus, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without prejudice, doing nothing by partiality. 5:22Lay hands hastily on no man, neither be partaker of other men`s sins: keep thyself pure. 5:23Be no longer a drinker of water, but use a little wine for thy stomach`s sake and thine often infirmities. 5:24Some men`s sins are evident, going before unto judgment; and some men also they follow after. 5:25In like manner also there are good works that are evident; and such as are otherwise cannot be hid.
6:1Let as many as are servants under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and the doctrine be not blasphemed. 6:2And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but let them serve them the rather, because they that partake of the benefit are believing and beloved. These things teach and exhort. 6:3If any man teacheth a different doctrine, and consenteth not to sound words, [even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 6:4he is puffed up, knowing nothing, but doting about questionings and disputes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 6:5wranglings of men corrupted in mind and bereft of the truth, supposing that godliness is a way of gain. 6:6But godliness with contentment is great gain: 6:7for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out; 6:8but having food and covering we shall be therewith content. 6:9But they that are minded to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction and perdition. 6:10For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 6:11But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. 6:12Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. 6:13I charge thee in the sight of God, who giveth life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed the good confession; 6:14that thou keep the commandment, without spot, without reproach, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 6:15which in its own times he shall show, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 6:16who only hath immortality, dwelling in light unapproachable; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honor and power eternal. Amen. 6:17Charge them that are rich in this present world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 6:18that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate; 6:19laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life which is [life] indeed. 6:20O Timothy, guard that which is committed unto [thee], turning away from the profane babblings and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called; 6:21which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with you.
2 Timothy
1:1Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, according to the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus, 1:2to Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 1:3I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers in a pure conscience, how unceasing is my remembrance of thee in my supplications, night and day 1:4longing to see thee, remembering thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; 1:5having been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in thee; which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded, in thee also. 1:6For which cause I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee through the laying on of my hands. 1:7For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness; but of power and love and discipline. 1:8Be not ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but suffer hardship with the gospel according to the power of God; 1:9who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal, 1:10but hath now been manifested by the appearing of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 1:11whereunto I was appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher. 1:12For which cause I suffer also these things: yet I am not ashamed; for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed unto him against that day. 1:13Hold the pattern of sound words which thou hast heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 1:14That good thing which was committed unto [thee] guard through the Holy Spirit which dwelleth in us. 1:15This thou knowest, that all that are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes. 1:16The Lord grant mercy unto the house of Onesiphorus: for he oft refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain; 1:17but, when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me 1:18(the Lord grant unto him to find mercy of the Lord in that day); and in how many things he ministered at Ephesus, thou knowest very well.
2:1Thou therefore, my child, be strengthened in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2:2And the things which thou hast heard from me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 2:3Suffer hardship with [me], as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 2:4No soldier on service entangleth himself in the affairs of [this] life; that he may please him who enrolled him as a soldier. 2:5And if also a man contend in the games, he is not crowded, except he have contended lawfully. 2:6The husbandmen that laboreth must be the first to partake of the fruits. 2:7Consider what I say; for the Lord shall give thee understanding in all things. 2:8Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, of the seed of David, according to my gospel: 2:9wherein I suffer hardship unto bonds, as a malefactor; but the word of God is not bound. 2:10Therefore I endure all things for the elect`s sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 2:11Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him: 2:12if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us: 2:13if we are faithless, he abideth faithful; for he cannot deny himself. 2:14Of these things put them in remembrance, charging [them] in the sight of the Lord, that they strive not about words, to no profit, to the subverting of them that hear. 2:15Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the word of truth. 2:16But shun profane babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodliness, 2:17and their word will eat as doth a gangrene: or whom is Hymenaeus an Philetus; 2:18men who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some. 2:19Howbeit the firm foundation of God standeth, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his: and, Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness. 2:20Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some unto honor, and some unto dishonor. 2:21If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, meet for the master`s use, prepared unto every good work. 2:22after righteousness, faith, love, pace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 2:23But foolish and ignorant questionings refuse, knowing that they gender strifes. 2:24And the Lord`s servant must not strive, but be gentle towards all, apt to teach, forbearing, 2:25in meekness correcting them that oppose themselves; if peradventure God may give them repentance unto the knowledge of the truth, 2:26and they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him unto his will.
3:1But know this, that in the last days grievous times shall come. 3:2For men shall be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3:3without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, no lovers of good, 3:4traitors, headstrong, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God; 3:5holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power therefore. From these also turn away. 3:6For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts, 3:7ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 3:8And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth. Men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith. 3:9But they shall proceed no further. For their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be. 3:10But thou didst follow my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience, 3:11persecutions, sufferings. What things befell me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me. 3:12Yea, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 3:13But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. 3:14But abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them. 3:15And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 3:16Every scripture inspired of God [is] also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness. 3:17That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.
4:1I charge [thee] in the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 4:2preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. 4:3For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts; 4:4and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables. 4:5But be thou sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. 4:6For I am already being offered, and the time of my departure is come. 4:7I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith: 4:8henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all them that have loved his appearing. 4:9Give diligence to come shortly unto me: 4:10for Demas forsook me, having loved this present world, and went to Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia. 4:11Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee; for he is useful to me for ministering. 4:12But Tychicus I sent to Ephesus. 4:13The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, bring when thou comest, and the books, especially the parchments. 4:14Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord will render to him according to his works: 4:15of whom do thou also beware; for he greatly withstood our words. 4:16At my first defence no one took my part, but all forsook me: may it not be laid to their account. 4:17But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that through me the message might me fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 4:18The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom [be] the glory forever and ever. Amen. 4:19Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the house of Onesiphorus. 4:20Erastus remained at Corinth: but Trophimus I left at Miletus sick. 4:21Give diligence to come before winter. Eubulus saluteth thee, and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia, and all the brethren. 4:22The Lord be with thy spirit. Grace be with you.
Titus
1:1Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God`s elect, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness, 1:2in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised before times eternal; 1:3but in his own seasons manifested his word in the message, wherewith I was intrusted according to the commandment of God our Saviour; 1:4to Titus, my true child after a common faith: Grace and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Saviour. 1:5For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that were wanting, and appoint elders in every city, as I gave thee charge; 1:6if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children that believe, who are not accused of riot or unruly. 1:7For the bishop must be blameless, as God`s steward; not self-willed, not soon angry, no brawler, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; 1:8but given to hospitality, as lover of good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled; 1:9holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict the gainsayers. 1:10For there are many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision, 1:11whose mouths must be stopped; men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre`s sake. 1:12One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle gluttons. 1:13This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, 1:14not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth. 1:15To the pure all things are pure: but to them that are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. 1:16They profess that they know God; but by their works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
2:1But speak thou the things which befit the sound doctrine: 2:2that aged men be temperate, grave, sober-minded, sound in faith, in love, in patience: 2:3that aged women likewise be reverent in demeanor, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good; 2:4that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, 2:5[to be] sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed: 2:6the younger men likewise exhort to be sober-minded: 2:7in all things showing thyself an ensample of good works; in thy doctrine [showing] uncorruptness, gravity, 2:8sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of us. 2:9[Exhort] servants to be in subjection to their own masters, [and] to be well-pleasing [to them] in all things; not gainsaying; 2:10not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things. 2:11For the grace of God hath appeared, bringing salvation to all men, 2:12instructing us, to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly and righteously and godly in this present world; 2:13looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 2:14who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a people for his own possession, zealous of good works. 2:15These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
3:1Put them in mind to be in subjection to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready unto every good work, 3:2to speak evil of no man, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all meekness toward all men. 3:3For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. 3:4But when the kindness of God our Saviour, and his love toward man, appeared, 3:5not by works [done] in righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 3:6which he poured out upon us richly, through Jesus Christ our Saviour; 3:7that, being justified by his grace, we might be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 3:8Faithful is the saying, and concerning these things I desire that thou affirm confidently, to the end that they who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men: 3:9but shun foolish questionings, and genealogies, and strifes, and fightings about law; for they are unprofitable and vain. 3:10A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse; 3:11knowing that such a one is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned. 3:12When I shall send Artemas unto thee, or Tychicus, give diligence to come unto me to Nicopolis: for there I have determined to winter. 3:13Set forward Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their journey diligently, that nothing be wanting unto them. 3:14And let our [people] also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. 3:15All that are with me salute thee. Salute them that love us in faith. Grace be with you all.
Philemon
1:1Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother, to Philemon our beloved and fellow-worker,
Hebrews
1:1God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners, 1:2hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in [his] Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds; 1:3who being the effulgence of his glory, and the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had made purification of sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 1:4having become by so much better than the angels, as he hath inherited a more excellent name than they. 1:5For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee? and again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son? 1:6And when he again bringeth in the firstborn into the world he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. 1:7And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels winds, And his ministers a flame a fire: 1:8but of the Son [he saith,] Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 1:9Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee With the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 1:10And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning didst lay the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the works of thy hands: 1:11They shall perish; but thou continuest: And they all shall wax old as doth a garment; 1:12And as a mantle shalt thou roll them up, As a garment, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, And thy years shall not fail. 1:13But of which of the angels hath he said at any time, Sit thou on my right hand, Till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet? 1:14Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?
