²⁶ And he put the golden altar in the tabernacle of witness before the veil, ²⁷ and burnt sweet cense thereon as the LORD commanded Moses.

⁹ And I shall show thee the fashion of the habitation and of all the ornaments thereof; even so, see that ye make it in all things.

¹⁰ and the vestments to minister in, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons to minister in,

⁸ And they shall wait upon all the apparel of the tabernacle of witness, and upon the children of Israel, to do the service of the habitation.

⁷ And upon the shew-table, they shall spread a cloth of jacinth, and put thereon the dishes, spoons, flat pieces and pots to pour with, and the daily bread shall be thereon:

¹⁴ And the lavers, shovels, dressing knives, ladles, and the ministering vessels of brass, they carried away. ¹⁵ And the firepans, and basins that were either of gold or silver, them took the chief Marshal away

²⁹ And of them were certain appointed to oversee the vessels and all holy ornaments, and of the flour, wine, oil, frankincense and sweet odours.

¹¹ And Hiram made pots, shovels and basins. And Hiram finished the work he made for king Solomon unto the temple of God:

¹⁶ And thereto pots, shovels, flesh hooks, and all their vessels did Hiram Abi make for king Solomon for the house of the LORD, of bright brass.

¹⁹ And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained to the house of God: the golden altar and the tables with the shewbread upon them,

²² and the dressing knives, basins, spoons and censers of pure gold. And the inner doors of the place most holy, and the doors of the temple too, were gold.

¹ And thou shalt make an altar of sethim-wood: five cubits long and five cubits broad, that it be foursquare, and three cubits high. ² And make it horns proceeding out in the four corners of it, and cover it with brass. ³ And make his ashpans, shovels, basins, fleshhooks, firepans and all the apparel thereof, of brass; ⁴ after the fashion of a net, and put upon the net four rings: even in the four corners of it, ⁵ and put it beneath under the compass of the altar, and let the net reach unto the one half of the altar. ⁶ And make staves for the altar of sethim-wood, and cover them with brass, ⁷ and let them be put in rings along by the sides of the altar, to bear it withal. ⁸ And make the altar hollow with boards: even as it was showed thee in the mount, so let them make it.

¹² The fire that is upon the altar shall burn therein and not go out. And the priest shall put wood on the fire every morning, and put the burnt sacrifice upon it, and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings. ¹³ The fire shall ever burn upon the altar, and never go out.

⁶ and shall put thereon a covering of taxus' skins and shall spread a cloth that is altogether of jacinth, above all, and put the staves thereof in. ⁷ And upon the shew-table, they shall spread a cloth of jacinth, and put thereon the dishes, spoons, flat pieces and pots to pour with, and the daily bread shall be thereon: ⁸ and they shall spread upon them a covering of purple, and cover the same with a covering of taxus' skins, and put the staves thereof in. ⁹ And they shall take a cloth of jacinth and cover the candlestick of light and her lamps and her snuffers, and firepans, and all her oil vessels which they occupy about it,

¹¹ And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of jacinth, and put on her staves. ¹² And they shall take all the things which they occupy to minister with in the holy place, and put a cloth of jacinth upon them and cover them with a covering of taxus' skins and put them on staves.

¹ And he made the burnt offering altar of sethim-wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad: even four square, and three cubits high. ² And he made horns in the four corners of it proceeding out of it, and overlaid it with brass. ³ And he made all the vessels of the altar: the cauldrons, shovels, basins, fleshhooks and coalpans all of brass. ⁴ And he made a brazen gridiron of network unto the altar round about alow beneath, under the compass of the altar: ⁵ so that it reached unto half the altar, and cast four rings of brass for the four ends of the gridiron to put staves in. ⁶ And he made staves of sethim-wood and covered them with brass, ⁷ and put the staves in the rings along by the altar side to bear it withal, and made the altar hollow with boards.

¹² And set marks round about the people and say, 'Beware that ye go not up into the mount, and that ye touch not the borders of it, for whosoever toucheth the mount, shall surely die.

⁵¹ And when the tabernacle goeth forth, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is pitched, they shall set it up: for if any stranger come near, he shall die.

³⁸ "But on the forefront of the habitation and before the tabernacle of witness eastward, shall Moses and Aaron and his sons pitch and wait on the sanctuary in the stead of the children of Israel. And the stranger that cometh nigh shall die for it."

⁹ But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none, for the office that pertained to them was holy, and therefore they must bear upon shoulders.

²¹ Then the Kohathites went forward and bare the holy things, and the other did set up the habitation against they came.

⁹ And Moses wrote this law and delivered it unto the priests, the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel,

¹⁰ For the priests that bare the ark stood in the midst of Jordan, until all was finished that the LORD commanded Joshua to say unto the people, according to all that Moses charged Joshua. And the people hasted and went over.

¹⁹ And he plagued the men of Bethshemesh, because they had seen the ark of the LORD. And he slew of the people fifty thousand and three score and ten persons. And the people lamented, because the LORD had slain so great a slaughter of them.

⁶ And when they came to Nacon's threshing floor, Uzzah put his hand to the ark of God and held it, for the oxen stumbled. ⁷ And the LORD was wrath with Uzzah; and God smote him in the same place for his fault, and there he died by the ark of God.

¹³ And ever, when they that bare the Ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he offered an ox and a fat sheep.

⁹ And when they came on the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah put forth his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled. ¹⁰ And the LORD was wroth with Uzzah and smote him, because he put his hand to the Ark.

² And then David said, "The Ark of God ought not to be carried but of the Levites. For them hath the LORD chosen to bear the Ark of the LORD and to minister to him forever."

¹⁵ And the children of the Levites bare the Ark of God upon their shoulders with staves thereon as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.

¹⁸ For ye are not come unto the mount that can be touched, and unto burning fire, nor yet to mist and darkness and tempest of weather, ¹⁹ neither unto the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words: which voice they that heard it, wished away, that the communication should not be spoken to them. ²⁰ For they were not able to abide that which was spoken. If a beast had touched the mountain, it must have been stoned, or thrust through with a dart: ²¹ even so terrible was the sight which appeared. Moses said, "I fear and quake." ²² But ye are come unto the mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the celestial Jerusalem: and to an innumerable sight of angels, ²³ and unto the congregation of the first born sons, which are written in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of just and perfect men: ²⁴ and to Jesus, the mediator of the new testament, and to the sprinkling of blood that speaketh better than the blood of Abel. ²⁵ See that ye despise not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not which refused him that spake on earth; Much more shall we not escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: ²⁶ whose voice then shook the earth, and now declareth, saying "Yet once more will I shake, not the earth only, but also heaven." ²⁷ No doubt the same that he sayeth, "yet once more," signifieth the removing away of those things which are shaken, as of things which have ended their course: that the things which are not shaken may remain. ²⁸ Wherefore if we receive a kingdom which is not moved, we have grace, whereby we may serve God and please him with reverence and godly fear. ²⁹ For our God is a consuming fire.

⁶ oil for lights, and spices for anointing oil and for sweet cense;

²⁰ "And command the children of Israel that they give the pure oil olive beaten for the lights to pour always into the lamps. ²¹ In the tabernacle of witness without the veil which is before the witness, shall Aaron and his sons dress it both even and morning before the LORD: And it shall be a duty for ever unto your generations after you: to be given of the children of Israel."

³⁹ the one thou shalt offer in the morning and the other at even. ⁴⁰ And unto the one lamb take a tenth deal of flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil, and the fourth part of a hin of wine, for a drink offering. ⁴¹ And the other lamb thou shalt offer at even and shalt do thereto according to the meat offering and drink offering in the morning, to be an odour of a sweet savour of the sacrifice of the LORD.

²³ "Take principal spices: of pure myrrh five hundred sicles, of sweet cinnamon half so much, two hundred and fifty sicles: ²⁴ of sweet calamite, two hundred and fifty. Of cassia, two hundred and fifty after the holy sicle, and of olive oil a hin. ²⁵ And make of them holy anointing oil even an oil compound after the craft of the apothecary. ²⁶ And anoint the tabernacle of witness therewith, and the ark of witness, ²⁷ and the table with all his apparel, and the candlestick with all his ordinance, and the altar of cense, ²⁸ and the altar of burnt sacrifice and all his vessels, and the laver and his foot. ²⁹ And sanctify them that they may be most holy: so that no man touch them but they that be hallowed. ³⁰ And anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them to minister unto me. ³¹ And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel saying, 'This shall be a holy anointing oil unto me, throughout your generations. ³² No man's flesh shall be anointed therewith: neither shall ye make any other after the making of it for it is holy, see therefore that ye take it for holy: ³³ Whosoever maketh like that, or whosoever putteth any of it upon a stranger, shall perish from among his people.'" ³⁴ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Take unto thee sweet spices: stacte, onycha, sweet galbanum and pure frankincense, of each like much: ³⁵ and make cense of them compounded after the craft of the apothecary, mingled together, that it may be made pure and holy. ³⁶ And beat it to powder and put it before the witness in the tabernacle of witness, where I will meet thee, but let it be unto you holy. ³⁷ And see that ye make none after the making of that, but let it be unto you holy for the LORD. ³⁸ And whosoever shall make like unto that, to smell thereto, shall perish from among his people."

¹¹ and the anointing oil and the sweet cense for the sanctuary: according to all as I have commanded thee shall they do."

²⁹ And he made the holy anointing oil and the sweet pure cense after the apothecary's craft.

²⁰ "This is the offering of Aaron and of his sons which he shall offer unto the LORD in the day when they are anointed: the tenth part of an ephah of flour, which is a daily meat offering perpetually; half in the morning and half at night:

² "Command the children of Israel that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for lights to pour into the lamps always,

³² And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, was captain over all the captains of the Levites, and had the oversight of them that waited upon the holy things.

¹⁸ "The spirit of the Lord upon me, because he hath anointed me; To preach the gospel to the poor he hath sent me; And to heal which are broken hearted: To preach deliverance to the captive; And sight to the blind; And freely to set at liberty them that are bruised;

²⁸ Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, whereof the holy ghost hath made you overseers: to rule the congregation of God, which he hath purchased with his blood.

¹ Let men this wise esteem us, even as the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the secrets of God.

⁵ For there is one God, and one mediator between God and man, which is the man Christ Jesus,

¹ Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the celestial callings, consider the Ambassador and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

⁶ But Christ, as a son, hath rule over the house, whose house we are, so that we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of that hope, unto the end.

²⁵ For ye were as sheep going astray: but are now returned unto the shepherd, and bishop of your souls.

² see that ye feed Christ's flock, which is among you, taking the oversight of them: not as though ye were compelled thereto, but willingly; Not for the desire of filthy lucre, but of a good mind.

²¹ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Go down and charge the people that they prease not up unto the LORD for to see him, and so many of them perish.

¹ And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censor, and put fire therein, and put cense upon; and brought strange fire before the LORD: which he commanded them not. ² And there went a fire out from the LORD, and consumed them, and they died before the LORD.

³² and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them and their houses and all the men that were with Korah and all their goods.

¹⁰ And the LORD said unto Moses, "Bring Aaron's rod again before the witness to be kept for a token unto the children of rebellion, that their murmurings may cease from me, that they die not."

⁵ Wait therefore upon the holy place and upon the altar, that there fall no more wrath upon the children of Israel:

²³ Therefore all thy wives with their children shall flee unto the Chaldeans, and thou shalt not escape their hands, but shalt be the king of Babylon's prisoner, and this city shall be burnt."

² And there went a fire out from the LORD, and consumed them, and they died before the LORD.

¹⁹ Seeing, brethren, that by the means of the blood of Jesus, we may be bold to enter into that holy place, ²⁰ by the new and living way, which he hath prepared for us, through the veil, that is to say by his flesh.

¹⁹ And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen, in his temple, the ark of his testament: and there followed lightnings, and voices, and thunderings and earthquake, and much hail.

¹⁸ And these are the names of the children of Gershon in their kindreds: Libni and Shimei.

²¹ And of Gershon came the kindred of the Libnites and the Shimeites, which are the kindreds of the Gershonites.

²⁴ And the captain of the most ancient house among the Gershonites, was Eliasaph the son of Lael.

³ all that were able to war — for to do the work in the tabernacle of witness:

³ And the Levites were numbered from thirty years and above, and the tale of them in men, poll by poll, was thirty eight thousand.

²⁴ These are the children of Levi in the households of their fathers the ancient heads, viewed and numbered by name and poll by poll from twenty year and above, to work in the service of the house of the LORD.

²⁷ But at the last commandment of David, the Levites were numbered from twenty years and above -

¹ What is he, this that cometh from Edom, with stained red clothes of Bozrah, which is so costly cloth, and cometh in so nimbly with all his strength? "I am he that teacheth righteousness, and am of power to help." ² Wherefore then is thy clothing red, and thy raiment like his that treadeth in the winepress? ³ "I have trodden the press myself alone, and of all people, there was not one with me. Thus have I trodden down mine enemies in my wrath, and set my feet upon them in my indignation: And their blood sprang upon my clothes, and so have I stained all my raiment. ⁴ For that day of vengeance that I have taken in hand, and the year of my deliverance, is come.

¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin: ¹⁵ because I know not what I do. For what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I. ¹⁶ If I do now that which I would not, I grant to the law that it is good. ¹⁷ So then, now it is not I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. ¹⁸ For I know that in me, that is to say, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing. To will is present with me: but I find no means to perform that which is good. ¹⁹ For I do not that good thing which I would: but that evil do I, which I would not. ²⁰ Finally, if I do that I would not, then is it not I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me doeth it. ²¹ I find then, by the law, that when I would do good, evil is present with me. ²² I delight in the law of God, as concerning the inner man. ²³ But I see another law in my members rebelling against the law of my mind, and subduing me unto the law of sin, which is in my members. ²⁴ O wretched man that I am: who shall deliver me from this body of death?

⁷ Who goeth a warfare any time at his own cost? Who planteth a vineyard and eateth not of the fruit? Or who feedeth a flock and eateth not of the milk?

⁷ in the words of truth, in the power of God, by the armour of righteousness of the right hand and on the left hand,

³ Nevertheless, though we walk compassed with the flesh, yet we war not fleshly. ⁴ For the weapons of our war are not carnal things, but things mighty in God to cast down strongholds; ⁵ wherewith we overthrow imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bring into captivity all understanding to the obedience of Christ,

¹⁷ For the flesh lusteth contrary to the spirit, and the spirit contrary to the flesh. These are contrary one to the other, so that ye cannot do that which ye would.

²⁴ They that are Christ's have crucified the flesh, with the appetites and lusts.

¹⁰ Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. ¹¹ Put on the armour of God, that ye may stand steadfast against the crafty assaults of the devil. ¹² For we wrestle not against flesh and blood: but against rule, against power, and against worldly rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness for heavenly things. ¹³ For this cause, take unto you the armour of God, that ye may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand perfect in all things. ¹⁴ Stand, therefore, and your loins gird about with verity, having on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and shod with shoes prepared by the gospel of peace. ¹⁶ Above all, take to you the shield of faith, wherewith ye may quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God, ¹⁸ and pray always with all manner prayer and supplication — and that in the spirit — and watch thereunto with all instance and supplication for all saints, ¹⁹ and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to utter the secrets of the gospel,

³ Thou therefore suffer affliction as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. ⁴ No man that warreth entangleth himself with worldly business; and that, because he would please him that hath chosen him to be a soldier.

⁷ I have fought a good fight, and have fulfilled my course, and have kept the faith.

²⁷ And at the mouth of Aaron and his sons, shall all the service of the children of the Gershonites be done, in all their charges and in all their service, and ye shall appoint them unto all their charges that they shall wait upon.

³¹ And this is the charge, that they must wait upon in all that they must serve in the tabernacle of witness: The boards of the dwelling, and the bars, pillars, and sockets thereof, ³² and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, pins and cords with all that pertaineth and serveth unto them. And by name ye shall reckon the things that they must wait upon to bear.

⁴⁷ from thirty years up unto fifty, every man to do his office and service and to bear his burden in the tabernacle of witness -

⁴⁹ which they numbered at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses; every man unto his service and burden as the LORD commanded Moses.

¹⁴ And thou shalt make another covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red: and yet another above all of taxus skins.

²⁵ And the office of the children of Gershon, in the tabernacle of witness, was the habitation and the tent with the covering thereof and the hanging of the door of the tabernacle of witness, ²⁶ and the hangings of the court, and the curtain of the door of the court: which court went round about the dwelling, and the altar, and the cords that pertained unto all the service thereof.

⁵ "Take it of them and let them be to do the service of the tabernacle of witness, and give them unto the Levites, every man according unto his office." ⁶ And Moses took the chariots and the oxen, and gave them unto the Levites: ⁷ two chariots and four oxen he gave unto the sons of Gershon according unto their office.

⁹ "And thou shalt make a court unto the habitation, which shall have in the south side hangings of twined bysse, being a hundred cubits long,

¹⁸ the pins of the habitation and the pins of the court with their boards;

⁷⁰ Even as he promised by the mouth of his holy prophets which were since the world began.

² I commend you brethren that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances even as I delivered them to you.

³³ This is the service of the kindreds of the sons of Merari in all their service in the tabernacle of witness by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest."

⁵ And there are differences of administrations, and yet but one Lord. ⁶ And there are divers manners of operations, and yet but one God, which worketh all things that are wrought in all creatures.

³³ And of Merari came the kindreds of the Mahlites and of the Mushites: and these are the kindreds of the Merarites. ³⁴ And the number of them — when all the males from a month old and above was told — drew unto six thousand and two hundred. ³⁵ And the captain of the most ancient house among the kindreds of the Merarites, was Zuriel the son of Abihail, which pitched on the north side of the dwelling.

¹ {A Psalm of David} The LORD said unto my LORD, "Sit thou on my righthand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool." ² The LORD shall send the rod of thy power out of Zion; be thou ruler, even in the midst among thine enemies. ³ In the day of thy power shall thy people offer thee free-will offerings with a holy worship; the dew of thy birth is of the womb of the morning. ⁴ The LORD sware, and will not repent, "Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek." ⁵ The LORD upon thy righthand shall smite even kings in the day of his wrath. ⁶ He shall be judge among the heathen; he shall fill them with dead bodies, and smite in sunder the heads over divers countries. ⁷ He shall drink of the brook in the way; therefore shall he lift up his head.

¹¹ But thou, which art the man of God, flee such things. Follow righteousness, godliness, love, patience, and meekness. ¹² Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hand on eternal life, whereunto thou art called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

⁴ No man that warreth entangleth himself with worldly business; and that, because he would please him that hath chosen him to be a soldier.

⁷ I have fought a good fight, and have fulfilled my course, and have kept the faith. ⁸ From henceforth is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord that is a righteous judge shall give me at that day: not to me only: but unto all them that love his coming.

¹⁵ And thou shalt make boards for the habitation of sethim-wood to stand upright:

³⁶ And the office of the sons of Merari was the boards of the dwelling and the bars, pillars with the sockets thereof, and all the instruments thereof and all that served thereto: ³⁷ and the pillars of the court round about and their sockets, with their pins and cords.

⁸ And four chariots and eight oxen he gave unto the sons of Merari according unto their offices, under the hands of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. ⁹ But unto the sons of Kohath he gave none, for the office that pertained to them was holy, and therefore they must bear upon shoulders.

¹⁷ and the sockets of the pillars were brass: but the knops and the hoops of the pillars were silver, and the heads were overlaid with silver, and all the pillars of the court were hooped about with silver.

²¹ This is the sum of the habitation of witness, which was counted at the commandment of Moses: and was the office of the Levites by the hand of Ithamar son to Aaron the priest.

¹ And when Moses had full set up the habitation and anointed it and sanctified it and all the apparel thereof, and had anointed and sanctified the altar also and all the vessels thereof:

²⁸ And this is the service of the kindred of the children of the Gershonites in the tabernacle of witness, and their wait shall be in the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

⁶ Then Joshua spake unto the priests, saying, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and go before the people." And they took up the ark of the covenant, and went before the people.

⁶ Yea, one shall take a friend of his own kindred by the bosom, and say, "Thou hast clothing, thou shalt be our head, for thou mayest keep us from this fall and peril."

³⁹ from thirty years up unto fifty, all that were able to go forth in the host for to do service in the tabernacle of witness.

⁴³ from thirty years up unto fifty, all that were able to go forth with the host to do service in the tabernacle of witness.

²⁶ Moreover, the Levites should now no more bear the tabernacle and all the vessels that pertain to the service thereof." - ²⁷ But at the last commandment of David, the Levites were numbered from twenty years and above -

¹³ and of the companies of the priests and Levites that waited by course, and of all workmanship, that should serve for the house of the LORD, and for all vessels that should serve in the house of the LORD.

³⁴ And the number of them — when all the males from a month old and above was told — drew unto six thousand and two hundred.

²⁵ Iron and brass shall hang on thy shoes and thine age shall be as thy youth.

¹³ There hath none other temptation taken you, such as followeth the nature of man. God is faithful, which shall not suffer you to be tempted above your strength: but shall in the midst of the temptation make a way to escape out.

⁸ To one is given, through the spirit, the utterance of wisdom; to another is given the utterance of knowledge by the same spirit; ⁹ to another is given faith, by the same spirit; to another the gifts of healing, by the same spirit; ¹⁰ to another, power to do miracles; to another prophecy; to another, judgment of spirits; to another divers tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: ¹¹ and these all worketh even the self same spirit, dividing to every man several gifts even as he will. ¹² For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of one body though they be many, yet are but one body: even so is Christ.

⁹ and he said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee. For my strength is made perfect through weakness." Very gladly therefore will I rejoice of my weakness, that the strength of Christ may dwell in me. ¹⁰ Therefore have I delectation in infirmities, in rebukes, in need, in persecutions, in anguish, for Christ's sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.

²⁹ "And thou shalt number the sons of Merari in their kindreds and in the houses of their fathers -

²³ from thirty years and above, until fifty, all that are able to go forth in war — for to do service in the tabernacle of witness. ²⁴ And this is the service of the kindred of the Gershonites, to serve and to bear.

³⁷ These are the numbers of the kindreds of the Kohathites, of all that did service in the tabernacle of witness, which Moses and Aaron did number at the commandment of the LORD of by the hand of Moses.

⁶ Seeing that we have divers gifts according to the grace that is given unto us: if any man have the gift of prophecy, let him have it that it be agreeing unto the faith; ⁷ Let him that hath an office, wait on his office; ⁸ Let him that teacheth take heed to his doctrine; Let him that exhorteth give attendance to his exhortation; If any man give, let him do it with singleness; Let him that ruleth do it with diligence; If any man show mercy let him do it with cheerfulness.

⁴ There are diversities of gifts verily, yet but one spirit. ⁵ And there are differences of administrations, and yet but one Lord. ⁶ And there are divers manners of operations, and yet but one God, which worketh all things that are wrought in all creatures. ⁷ The gifts of the spirit are given to every man to profit the congregation. ⁸ To one is given, through the spirit, the utterance of wisdom; to another is given the utterance of knowledge by the same spirit; ⁹ to another is given faith, by the same spirit; to another the gifts of healing, by the same spirit; ¹⁰ to another, power to do miracles; to another prophecy; to another, judgment of spirits; to another divers tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: ¹¹ and these all worketh even the self same spirit, dividing to every man several gifts even as he will. ¹² For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of one body though they be many, yet are but one body: even so is Christ. ¹³ For in one spirit are we all baptised to make one body, whether we be Jews or gentiles: whether we be bond or free, and have all drunk of one spirit. ¹⁴ For the body is not one member, but many. ¹⁵ If the foot say, "I am not the hand, therefore I am not of the body," is he therefore not of the body? ¹⁶ And if the ear say, "I am not the eye, therefore I am not of the body," is he therefore not of the body? ¹⁷ If all the body were an eye: where were then the ear? If all were hearing: where were the smelling? ¹⁸ But now hath God disposed the members, every one of them in the body, at his own pleasure. ¹⁹ If they were all one member: where were the body? ²⁰ Now are there many members, yet but one body. ²¹ And the eye cannot say unto the hand, "I have no need of thee," nor the head also to the feet, "I have no need of you." ²² Yea, rather a great deal those members of the body which seem to be most feeble, are most necessary. ²³ And upon those members of that body which we think least honest, put we most honesty on. And our ungoodly parts have most beauty on. ²⁴ For our honest members need it not: but God hath so disposed the body, and hath given most honour to that part which lacked, ²⁵ lest there should be any strife in the body: but that the members should indifferently care for one another. ²⁶ And if one member suffer, all suffer with him: if one member be had in honour, all members be glad also. ²⁷ Ye are the body of Christ, and members one of another. ²⁸ And God hath also ordained in the congregation, first the apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, then them that do miracles; after that, the gifts of healing, helpers, governors, diversity of tongues. ²⁹ Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all doers of miracles? ³⁰ Have all the gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? ³¹ Covet after the best gifts. And yet show I unto you a more excellent way.

³⁹ And the whole sum of the Levites which Moses and Aaron numbered, at the commandment of the LORD — throughout their kindreds, even of all the males of a month old and above — was twenty two thousand.

¹⁴ But strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

¹⁶ So the last shall be first, and the first shall be last. For many are called, and few be chosen."

¹⁵ Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel, how they might tangle him in his words.

⁴⁷ But the Levites in the tribe of their fathers were not numbered among them.

⁵⁴ And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses.

³³ And yet the Levites were not numbered among the children of Israel, as the LORD commanded Moses.

⁵¹ And he gave that redemption money unto Aaron and his sons at the word of the LORD, even as the LORD commanded Moses.

²¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

³¹ And this is the charge, that they must wait upon in all that they must serve in the tabernacle of witness: The boards of the dwelling, and the bars, pillars, and sockets thereof,

⁴¹ This is the number of the kindreds of the sons of Gershon, of all that did service in the tabernacle of witness, which Moses and Aaron did number at the commandment of the LORD.

⁴⁵ This is the number of the kindreds of the sons of Merari, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the bidding of the LORD, by the hand of Moses.

² And on him shall light the spirit of the LORD: the spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the spirit of counsel and of strength, the spirit of knowledge and of reverence, and it shall make him savour of the fear of the LORD ³ And he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes: neither shall rebuke after the hearing of his ears. ⁴ But he shall judge the causes of the poor with righteousness, and shall rebuke with equity for the humble of the earth. And he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall slay the wicked.

¹ Behold now therefore, this is my servant whom I will keep to myself: mine elect; In whom my soul shall be pacified. I will give him my spirit, that he may show forth judgment and equity among the Gentiles. ² He shall not be an out-crier, nor a high-minded person. His voice shall not be heard in the streets. ³ A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: but faithfully and truly shall he give judgment. ⁴ He shall neither be overseen nor hasty, that he may restore righteousness unto the earth: and the Gentiles also shall keep his laws. ⁵ For thus sayeth God the LORD unto him, even he that made the heavens, and spread them abroad, and set forth the earth with her increase: which giveth breath unto the people that is in it, and to them that dwell therein, ⁶ "I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and led thee by the hand. Therefore will I also defend thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, and to be the light of the Gentiles. ⁷ That thou mayest open the eyes of the blind; let out the prisoners, and them that sit in darkness, out of the dungeon house.

The LORD called me out of the womb and made mention of my name, when I was in my mother's bowels. ² And he made my mouth like a sharp sword. In the shadow he led me with his hand. And he made me as an excellent arrow, and hid in his quiver. ³ And he said to me, "Thou art my servant O Israel, in whom I will be glorified." ⁴ And I said, "I labour in vain and spend my strength for nought, and unprofitably. Howbeit, my cause I commit to the LORD and my travail unto my God." ⁵ And now saith the LORD that formed me in the womb, to be his servant and to turn Jacob unto him, ⁶ "Behold, I have made thee a light, that thou shouldest be salvation, even unto the end of the world. Kings shall see, and rulers shall stand up and shall worship, because of the LORD, which is faithful; and the holy of Israel hath chosen thee. ⁷ Moreover, thus sayeth the LORD the avenger and holy one of Israel, because of the abhorring and despising among the Gentiles, concerning the servant of all them that bear rule: Kings and Princes shall see, and arise and worship, because of the LORD that he is faithful: and because of the holy one of Israel, which hath chosen thee. ⁸ And thus sayeth the LORD: In the time appointed will I be present with thee. And in the hour of health will I help thee, and deliver thee. I will make thee a pledge for the people, so that thou shalt help up the earth again, and challenge again the scattered heritages:
