  • Psalms 104
    Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
    Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
    Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
    Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
    Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
    Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
    At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
    They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
    Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.
    He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.
    They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.
    By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.
    He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.
    He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
    And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.
    The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
    Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
    The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
    He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
    Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.
    The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.
    The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.
    Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.
    O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
    So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
    There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.
    These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.
    That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.
    Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
    Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.
    The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.
    He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
    I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
    My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.
    Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

  • Psalms 103
    Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
    Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
    Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
    Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
    Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.
    The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
    He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
    The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
    He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
    He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
    For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
    As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
    Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
    For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
    As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
    For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
    But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
    To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
    The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
    Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
    Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
    Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

  • 1st Corinthians 11
    Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
    Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
    But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
    Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
    But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
    For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
    For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
    For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
    Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
    For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
    Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
    For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
    Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
    Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
    But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
    But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
    Now in this that I declare unto you I praise you not, that ye come together not for the better, but for the worse.
    For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
    For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
    When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.
    For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
    What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? What shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.
    For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
    And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
    After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
    For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.
    Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
    But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
    For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
    For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
    For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
    But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
    Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.
    And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

  • Leviticus 1,2
    And the LORD called unto Moses, and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
    Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.
    If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
    And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
    And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
    And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces.
    And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire:
    And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
    But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
    And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.
    And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.
    And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar:
    But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it upon the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
    And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons.
    And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
    And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
    And he shall cleave it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
    And when any will offer a meat offering unto the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil upon it, and put frankincense thereon:
    And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons the priests: and he shall take thereout his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD:
    And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron's and his sons': it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.
    And if thou bring an oblation of a meat offering baken in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil.
    And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil.
    Thou shalt part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering.
    And if thy oblation be a meat offering baken in the fryingpan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil.
    And thou shalt bring the meat offering that is made of these things unto the LORD: and when it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the altar.
    And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar: it is an offering

  • 1st Corinthians 10
    Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
    And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
    And did all eat the same spiritual meat;
    And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
    But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
    Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
    Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
    Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
    Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
    Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
    Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
    Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
    There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
    Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.
    I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
    The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
    For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.
    Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
    What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
    But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
    Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
    Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
    All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
    Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
    Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
    For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
    If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
    But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
    Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
    For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
    Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
    Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
    Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

  • Exodus 39,40
    And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.
    And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
    And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work.
    They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.
    And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
    And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
    And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
    And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
    It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.
    And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.
    And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
    And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
    And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
    And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
    And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.
    And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.
    And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.
    And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.
    And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.
    And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
    And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
    And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
    And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.
    And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
    And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;
    A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.
    And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
    And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,
    And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.
    And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
    And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.
    Thus was all the work of the tabe

  • Psalms 102
    Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.
    Hide not thy face from me in the day when I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day when I call answer me speedily.
    For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.
    My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.
    By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.
    I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
    I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
    Mine enemies reproach me all the day; and they that are mad against me are sworn against me.
    For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
    Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
    My days are like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.
    But thou, O LORD, shall endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.
    Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.
    For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.
    So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
    When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
    He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
    This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
    For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
    To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
    To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;
    When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
    He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.
    I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations.
    Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.
    They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:
    But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.
    The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.

  • 1st Corinthians 8,9
    Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
    And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
    But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
    As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
    For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
    But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
    Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
    But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.
    But take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.
    For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;
    And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
    But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ.
    Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
    Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?
    If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
    Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
    Have we not power to eat and to drink?
    Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?
    Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?
    Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?
    Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?
    For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
    Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
    If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
    If others be partakers of this power over you, are not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.
    Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?
    Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
    But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.
    For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!
    For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.
    What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.
    For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
    And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the

    Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
    Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
    Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
    Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
    For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
    I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
    I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way. O when wilt thou come unto me? I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.
    I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me.
    A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person.
    Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.
    Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.
    He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
    I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

    And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.
    And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.
    And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.
    And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.
