¹ A Song of the Ascents, by David. Lo, how good and how pleasant The dwelling of brethren—even together! ² As the good oil on the head, Coming down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, That cometh down on the skirt of his robes, ³ As dew of Hermon—That cometh down on hills of Zion, For there Jehovah commanded the blessing—Life unto the age!

¹³ `Ye are the salt of the land, but if the salt may lose savour, in what shall it be salted? for nothing is it good henceforth, except to be cast without, and to be trodden down by men. <sup>14</sup> `Ye are the light of the world, a city set upon a mount is not able to be hid; ¹⁵ nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the measure, but on the lamp-stand, and it shineth to all those in the house; ¹⁶ so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father who is in the heavens.

²⁵ that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one another, ²⁶ and whether one member doth suffer, suffer with it do all the members, or one member is glorified, rejoice with it do all the members;
²⁷ and ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

³ nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves— ⁴ each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others. ⁵ For, let this mind be in you that is also in Christ Jesus, ⁶ who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal to God, ⁷ but did empty himself, the form of a servant having taken, in the likeness of men having been made, ⁸ and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death—death even of a cross, ⁹ wherefore, also, God did highly exalt him, and gave to him a name that is above every name, ¹⁰ that in the name of Jesus every knee may bow—of heavenlies, and earthlies, and what are under the earth— ¹¹ and every tongue may confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
¹² So that, my beloved, as ye always obey, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, with fear and trembling your own salvation work out, ¹³ for God it is who is working in you both to will and to work for His good pleasure.
¹⁴ All things do without murmurings and reasonings, ¹⁵ that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God, unblemished in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse, among whom ye do appear as luminaries in the world, ¹⁶ the word of life holding forth, for rejoicing to me in regard to a day of Christ, that not in vain did I run, nor in vain did I labour;

²⁰ for where there are two or three gathered together—to my name, there am I in the midst of them.'

³⁷ And Jesus said to him, `Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine understanding— ³⁸ this is a first and great command; ³⁹ and the second is like to it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself; ⁴⁰ on these—the two commands—all the law and the prophets do hang.'

¹⁴ and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all;

³ For I say, through the grace that was given to me, to every one who is among you, not to think above what it behoveth to think; but to think so as to think wisely, as to each God did deal a measure of faith, ⁴ for as in one body we have many members, and all the members have not the same office, ⁵ so we, the many, one body are in Christ, and members each one of one another. ⁶ And having gifts, different according to the grace that was given to us; whether prophecy—`According to the proportion of faith!' <sup>7</sup> or ministration—`In the ministration!' or he who is teaching—`In the teaching!' <sup>8</sup> or he who is exhorting—`In the exhortation!' he who is sharing—`In simplicity!' he who is leading—`In diligence?' he who is doing kindness—`In cheerfulness.' ⁹ The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good; ¹⁰ in the love of brethren, to one another kindly affectioned: in the honour going before one another; ¹¹ in the diligence not slothful; in the spirit fervent; the Lord serving; ¹² in the hope rejoicing; in the tribulation enduring; in the prayer persevering; ¹³ to the necessities of the saints communicating; the hospitality pursuing.

⁹ The two are better than the one, in that they have a good reward by their labour. ¹⁰ For if they fall, the one raiseth up his companion, but woe to the one who falleth and there is not a second to raise him up! ¹¹ Also, if two lie down, then they have heat, but how hath one heat? ¹² And if the one strengthen himself, the two stand against him; and the threefold cord is not hastily broken.

⁴² and they were continuing stedfastly in the teaching of the apostles, and the fellowship, and the breaking of the bread, and the prayers. ⁴³ And fear came on every soul, many wonders also and signs were being done through the apostles, ⁴⁴ and all those believing were at the same place, and had all things common, ⁴⁵ and the possessions and the goods they were selling, and were parting them to all, according as any one had need. ⁴⁶ Daily also continuing with one accord in the temple, breaking also at every house bread, they were partaking of food in gladness and simplicity of heart, ⁴⁷ praising God, and having favour with all the people, and the Lord was adding those being saved every day to the assembly.

² of one another the burdens bear ye, and so fill up the law of the Christ,

²⁴ and may we consider one another to provoke to love and to good works, ²⁵ not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as a custom of certain is, but exhorting, and so much the more as ye see the day coming nigh.
